If this proves to be extensive the News be-
lieves Watertown will he great distributing
point for coal, and have 100000 population
in ten years.
Information comes from Washington that
Hon. j. r. Wilson, the late Democratic can
didate for congress, will be appointed at
torney general in place of Hugh Campbell,
| the Louisiana exotic of the Hayes regime,
aud Taylor of the Yankton Herald will be
surveyor general. Mr.. Wilson on his way
! home stated that the split between him and
! the Dakota com missioner had been closed
up, and that Ziebach would undoubtedly be
governor.
Under the energetic direction of Judge
Cox, who formerly distinguished himself upon
the bench in Minnesota, the capitalists and
sagacious citizens of Grand Forks are moving
| to secure the construction of railroad to
Duluth. The proposition is to build from
Grand Forks to Red Lake and there meet the
Duluth & Winnipeg. A strong committee
| has been appointed to devise ways and means
and interview the capitalists of Duluth.
TIE absence of most Of the leading Demo-
Gratis at Grand Forks from meeting to or
ganize for a party fight at the coming city
election was attributed to Methodist Sunday
school gathering. They care more for their
religion than their politics, still the more
worldly element convened and provided for
putting straight ticket in the field. Grand
! Forks is believed to have majority of Dem :
ocrats, although no inference of that sort
could be drawn from any voting they have
done.
| han
man from one of the largest winter wheat
counties in Illinois, now visiting North Da-
kota, reports the growing wheat in his sec
ton nearly ruined, aud says there has not
been good crop there for several years and
an increased disposition among the farmers
to sell out and come to Dakota. He states
that the winter and spring there have been
unusually cold, stormy and snowy, and the
people will not believe the reports Of delight
full weather in Dakota.
A party of twenty-five emigrants from
Carroll county, Virginia, arrived at Athol,
OAK, few days since in pursuit of homes.
They had never been so far orth before, but
said that it was hard work making living
| from the thin and rocky soil of the Old Do
minion, and they had heard such favorable
reports of Dakota that they would locate in
it. They also stated that a car load of others
were coming next week, aud If favorable re-
| ports were sent back great part of the pop
ulation OF their native county would follow.
| This is but one Illustration of the widespread
tendency in the states toward the new North
west.
DR.. Frederick Marsh is about the last of
the members of the Democratic territorial
committee from the North to return Al
though he does not believe that his committee
accomplished anything in the way of secur-
ing appointments, he is cheerful and claims
to have gaZed upon the president Individually
and personally and to have heard the assur-
ance that when there were any Dakota ap-
| pointments, residents should have the fruit.
Other advices represent that this committee,
which took upon itself the duty of going to
Washington to divide up the offices in Da-
kota, was not only split up itself. but at vari-
ance with other prominent Dakota Demo-
Gratis there, and made great mistake in un-
dertakng the job they attempted.
| There has been some criticism of the course
of NJ. II. Day in remaining in Washin gton
in connection with Dakota matters, but Tay-
lor of the Yankton Herald, one of the oldest
and ablest Democratic editors, saws of him ::
The Democratic party of Dakota has an able
and steadfast representative in Washington
NJ. II. Day, member of the national Demo-
cratic committee. At the instance and So
licitation of several of his party friends who
are not candidates for office, Mr.. Day con-
scented to go to Washington and interest him
self in securing the appointment of citizens
of the territory to territorial positions, and
also peacefully mediate upon the character,
worth and fitness of such applicants as might
seek public stations in Dakota This is his
purpose aud his only purpose. He has no
pets nor no preiudices with respect to locality
