A Senaille Move

A combination Of business men and farmers
Of Ashton and vicinity have formed a stock
company for the purpose Of putting up wheat
elevator at that place. The amount Of stock is
to be $4,000, the shares $50 each. Ownership
in the stock is limited to one share by any in
dividual. The plan Of the organization will be
after that of the Farmers Elevator company at
Mellstte, in that county, which has been re-
markably successful. This will be the third
steam-power wheat elevator at Ashton. and
with the Touring mill here will make our "a
ior, to those Of any other town in the James
river valley. This is a substantial showing in
comparison with other communities, since the
railroad was first opened to this place only
about three years ago.-St. PduJ Globe.

The Gold Find.

BISMARCK, OAK, March 29.-About three
hundred gold seekers are camped tonight in
the vicinity Of tho alleged discovery in town
ship 142. Those who have returned are gen.
orally of the opinion that there cannot be gold
there in any quantity. They represent those
who remained as divided, some confident, some
hopeful, but about half declaring the thing a
bad sell. Saloons boarding houses and gam
bling tents were doing good business to-day,
though scores of men are out with picks and
shovels. The locality is mostly covered with
snow, and prospecting is difficult.

PIERRE, Dak., March 25.-The trouble on
the Winnebago reservation has been quelled,
and the ringleaders in the disturbance placed
under arrest. A messenger arrived to-day,
who states that the Indians held war-dance,
after which they commenced their depreda-
tions, setting fire to the prairie, burning shaaks,
etc. So far no blood has been shed, and it is
thought the worst is passed. 1t is thought
here that Maj Gasman, the Indian agent at
Fort Thompson, is to blame for the trouble the
settlers have been put to. He has regarded
them as intruders from the start, authorizing
his Indian police to drive them off tho reserva-

In the case Of e. J. Mcmahon, set for hear
ing on Wednesday last, Attorney C. J. Paul
addressed the court on behalf Of the defendant,
stating that defendant believed he could not
obtain fair trial before this court, as the
court itself was connected with the parties to
the prosecution, being in the employ Of the
present county clerk, and defendant waived
examination and gave bond for his appearance
before the district court to be held at Valley
city in May next. Thus the prosecuting wit
ness is deprived Of the great pleasure be had
anticipated in airing himself before the public
as an advocate Of justice, and foiled for the
present in his attempt to drive to the wall a
worthy man-one who has always advocated
the interests Of Steele county and Hope in par
ticular. McMabon has many warm friends in
Hope and throughout the county, and they are
not slow in showing their contempt for the
parties who instituted this suit and the meas
ures adopted in its prosecution.

Tho Crow Reservation.

John Sweeney, Of Chamberlain, OAK, but
formerly citizen Of Saltwater, arrived in the
city yesterday. He reports that the influx of
immigrants to that part Of the country is rap
idly on the increase, and before the season is
over large portion of the Grow Indian terri
tory will be settled. Those who are settling
are not taking up only 160 acres, many whole
section Of land, which IS considered much su-
perior to any within radius of 100 miles of
that region. Mr.. Sweeney thinks that as a
grazing country it could not be exceIled. It
has been generally conceed that wheat and
barley will be the chief production, although
the quality of the soil is particularly adapted
to the growing Of vegetables, and rich,
though rather coarse, grass sprouts to pro-
digi0us height.-St. Paul Globe.

Total

Dividing this by a yield Of 16 bushels only 10
the acre. and we have cost Of 31A cents;
cost OF threshing per bushel, cents; cost Of
hauling per bushel, ~ cents, and our wheat
has cost 3911 cents per bushel delivered in the
elevator; while, estimating the yield at 20
bushels per acre, the cost is but 33A cents per
bushel.
Looking at the prices paid in Duluth last fall
at the close Of harvest we fnd them about 80
cents for the first grade and 70 cents for the
second. This would give the farmer iu the
James river valley on the St. Paul road about
90 cents fer hard wheat and 55 cents for tho
second grade, and these arc about the prices
paid now. So that, even at the present low
range of values, it does not lock a. II the North
Dakota farmer needs to lose much money.
Now, valuing our land and improvements at
$15 per acre and the interest theron at 8 per
cent. gives us $1.2O per annum per acre. This
divided by yield Of is bushels equals 711
cents, 90 that If our wheat was sold at 47 cents
we should still get net increase from our
lands Of per cent, while on yield Of twenty
bushels, which was quite general last season
in this vicinity at least, we should not only re-
ceive an per cent income from cur land in
vestment, but profit Of some cents per bushel
besides As a matter of fact, however, the
average price received was much greater than
AZ cents per bushel. And if this is done on a
large farm do notsee why as good results can
not be obtained from small ono; for as an
offset to the lower price the former gets his
machinery at, the latter does away with super
intendent, stable boss, cook, etc. His own
labor represnts the greater portion Of that ac-
count, except in harvest. Tho cost Of living is
much less. His lands are generally govern
inent claims, and lastly, he has the great ad.
vantage Of personal supervisor over every de-
tail. So that. in my opinion, when the day
comes that we Of Northern Minnesota and Da-
kota cannot raise wheat at the market price,
and at a profit, too, that day will see those
states whose lands are worth 500 per acre, or
even $50 per acre, entirely out Of the running,
and we whose lands are worth but fraction
OF that will be the only ones still raising
wheat II any portion Of the United States
can afford to raise wheat at low prices 1t is tho
portion above referred to, and 20 long as the
nation remains wheat producer, 30 long will
the Northwest lead the van in the ability to
raise the cheapest wheat as well az the best.

that wheat can not be grown at profit under

was dead loss to the farmer to grow wheat
at the present price. This statement is an or
