of the day. The occasion and the audi
cnce were a rare inspiration. 1t was
much regretted that Robert c. Winthrop
was unable to be present. But his adj
mirable Grafton was admirably read by
Governor Long, OF Massachusetts. The
reading was frequently interrupted by en-
| thusiastic applause. At one point
Mr.. Winthrop referred in complimentary
terms to George Bancroft. The
| entire audience broke forth in cheers and
the venerable white-headed, white beard.
! ed historian gracefully received the COM
pliment. The Grafton OF Daniel was
great and happy surprise to those who
had never heard him speak, and very few
OF those present had ever heard him. He
Is man of rare oratorial gifts, and he i'm
pressed and charmed an audience very diff.
ticult to move. Daniel is slender, has a
smooth-shaven, classical face, rich and
pleasant voice and most graceful man
ner. Though his address was quite long,
1t was listened to throughout with closely
interested attention, and was, from time
to time, vigorously applauded.
Taken all in all, and in view of the un
favorable weather, the exercises of the
day were very successful, and worthy
celebration OF most memorable event.

Thirty Persons Supposed to Have Lost
Their Lives in Utah-Twelve Bodies Re-
covered.
SALT LAKE CITY, U. T., Feb 19.-The
relief party which went from here to Alta,
the scene of Friday nights terrible snow
slide, returned to the city at late
hour Tuesday night, bringing the bodies of
twelve victims. Four of those at first re-
ported dead were rescued alive. They
are Andrew White but little injured, who
was under the snow twelve hours; Fred
Culllnin, who was buried sixteen hours,
sustained somexinjury to his back; Mr..
Koist, who was ingulfed six hours, and Mr..
Ford. The body of one Chnaman was not
found. The bodies sewed in blankets,
were hauled down the canyon on sleds, one
of which carried the bodies OF the four Bal
lou children, and another the remains Of
Mrs. Ford and baby. The latter, on the night
of the terrible disaster, vainly begged of her
husband that she and her child be taken to
place of safety, as she was sure slide
was coming. At the inquest yesterday
nothing new was developed. The funeral
services will take place to-day. Five adults
and eight children are still in Alta in
constant danger from snowslides and re-
lief party will go there to-day to
bring them to this city. Snow-sldes in the
vicinity of Alta are Of daily occurrence.
One took place at Superior gulch Saturday,
and, it is believed, resulted in the death of
three men who were working there. Two
men from neighboring camp went to
Superior gulch to see If an was right
there. The visitors got within sight of
the cabin and tunnel. Just then they
saw "a slide start, and in an in
slant the cabin and tunnel were oblterated
by a sea of snow. The conclusion of the
slide was sufficient to hurl the terrified
witnesses to the ground, and they hurried
away. In the three slides of last Friday at
Alta it is believed thirty persons lost their
| lives

the Government might do something in the
way of emigration by communication with

Is what Elk Point has put into
New Buildings and Improve
ments the past year.
While Richland Comes up Smiling with
Si7,125.00.
A Splendid Showing.

Below we give a list of the new
buildings erected and improvements
made during the past year. We
think it makes a very %tiattering
showing for a city that has never
enjoyed what you might call a west
ern boom" The COURIER, as well
as every inhabitant of our beauti-
full city feels proud of our prosperity
and progress. Dakota is the grandest
section of country in the northwest,
and Union county contains thirteen
townships of the best land in this
vast domain. 1t is with feelings of
pleasure and pride we cast a retro
spective look back upon the early
history of Dakota, our adopted
country, and follow it through all its
vicissi,udes up to the year 1885.
Dakota's history from its earliest
settlement up to the year of 1877
and 1878 was a continuous struggle
for existence, with grasshoppers,
sod-shanties and. mortgages. Since
that time she has opened and ex-
banded. and blossomed as the rose,
until now, the beginning of the
year 1886, she stands without a peer
in the great western states and terri
tories, in wealth, intelligence and
progress. 1t is most pleasing to
compare the condition of Union
county to-day with that of ten years
ago. Then our farmers were housed
! in miserable novels and sod-shanties,
many of them without teams, Or
only a yoke of steers working tooth
and toe. nail to obtain the actual ne
| cessities of life. These conditions
were brought about by the terrible
scourge of grass-hoppers which de-
wasted this country for a number of
years prior to the year 1873. Since
the absence of these pests u coun-
try has prospered most wonderfully.
Now Union county farmers are liv-
ing fine elegant houses, surrounded
with large barns,graneries &c,-their
| pastures are dotted with horses,
cattle sheep and swine, and their
cribs and graneries are grooming nm
der the immense crop raised in the
year 1885. They also have ther fine
horses and carriages and cai1 go to
the bank and get money whenever
they want it. While the county has
made this rapid development, Elk
Point, the county seat is gradually
coming to the front and stands to-
dav one of the most fourishing lit
