DAKOTA

Milbank Index: The resolutions O
the territorial republican convention q
at Yankton have the ring OF true metal
They voice in vigorous terms the senti
ments of a large majority Of the people
OF Dakota.
Mitchell Mail: The delegation from
the city of Mitchell and Dawson county,
voted solidly at the Aberdeen conven
ton in favor OF admission as o whole
So did Sioux False Yankton, and
Huron for division.
Groton Independent: Gov. Pierce
has appointed Geo. s. Engle, of Aber.
deem, to the position of attorney general
OF Dakota. It isn't customary for re-
publican governors to appoint demo.
Gratis, but the governor may be paying
for his long lease of office under demo-
cratic rule.
Bath Herald: 1t was plainly to be seen
at the outset, in the Dakota conven-
ton, that the south Dakota division.

the boys from the center and north
gave up oil hopes of getting ever a

Clifford by reclamation.
Aberdeen Republican: The old gang
who have made Dakota legislatures q
Kissing and o byword in the past are
being relegated to the rear this whirl
IN great shape. Pettigrsw, Geo. Walsh
and ,Jud La Moure have had their dear

prospects for the entire caboodIe being
placed on the superannuated list.
Mitchell Republican: The Republi-
can alleged at one time and another

Gov. Pierce had designs on she republi-
can nomination for congress; but it now

money after it reaches here. She gets
transportation free for everything, and
is doing IA amount of work for the
institution which is truly surprising.
Her unselfish efforts are worthy of the

Roscoe Herald Grading has COM
nenccd on the branch of the Chicago,
Milwaukee & St. Paul railroad running
northwest from this place.
Among the extensions more than likely
to be pushed by the Northern Pacific is
one across the country from LaMourc to
Bismarck, and up the Missouri north
from Bismarck Elk.
The Courier News, of Watertown, re-
ports that the Burlington, Cedar Rapids
" Northern railroad is to be extended to
Bismarck, and that construction work on
the extension will be begun this month.
LaMoure Progress The Milwaukee
graders north of Glendale are rapidly
bringing their work to a close. The road
is to be built to point five miles north
of st. George. Tracklayers are expected
within few days.
Aberdeen Pioneer A corps of engineers
commenced on Monday last running a
line northwest from this city to Bis
marck, via Lcola; for the Minneapolis &
Pacific railroad company, and dirt will
be flying on the line before the next issue

Peculiar Rainfall This year.

The increased acreage of wheat in Da-
kota this year, says an exchange; will
hardly make up for the loss in yield oc-
casicned by the unusual drought. The
rainfall this season has been peculiar. 1t
came in the shape of local showers. This
accounts for the excellent fields of grain
in one direction and the poor pieces in
another. In some instances nature has
smiled Bounteously on farmer s grain,
while his ncighbor, equally just perhaps,
has suffered from droug ght: The total
yield in Dakota this year will not be over
100000 bushels, whereas ordinarily it
would lie over DO, 100000.

THE TOWN OF
Wi||iamsport,
The County Seat
EN- M 0NS COUNTY,
DAKOTA,
Is situated in one of the preti.
est and most fertile regions Of
the Territory. The County is
being rapidly settled by an en-
terprising and intelligent class
OF people, principally Ameri-
cans; but there.ye remain thou
sands of acres of the finest quail
ity of Government Land unen.
tered within few miles of
Williamsport. There are, also,
many good business openings in
town. This is, par excellence,
the country for wheat, oats and ,
barley; but everything common
to the Northern and Western
States has been raised here--such
as corn, flax, millet, buckwheat,
etc. Potatoes, turnips, carrots
and other root crops have given
remarkable yield per acre,
grow to prodigious size, and are
of good quality. Another fa-
vorable point possessed by this
neighborhood is the fact of our
having an established society.
We have seven substantial frame
schoolhouses within radius of
ten miles from Williamsport,
Sabbath-school, and church ser.
vices every Sunday. A glance
at the map will show that one
or more of the railroads point
ing to Bismarck, and already
built into Central Dakota, must
pass through this region. There
is wood for fuel purposes to be
found within a few miles of
town, and the whole county pos
sesses beds of Ignite coal. Those
desiring information in relation
to government and railroad
lands and Williamsport town
lots should address

Or How The Connecticut "estern
 News Gives it's Aubsc ribers Value
 Received for their Money.
 All our old subscribers understand that we endeavor to make The News itself worth the subscription price.
 They furthermore know that we can- not directly club The News with other papers and periodicals without robbing The News of the time which legitimate ly belongs to it and which is essential to make an interesting paper, yet through Eglestons subscription agencyThe News is clubbed with every desirable periodi cal published, for it will readily be seen that it is easier to keep an account of 5000 items with one subscription agency than to record one item with 5000 different publishers.
 Thus while we do not directly club with other publications we do indirectly give our subscribers an opportunity, through Egleston's subscription agency, to club The News with 5000 or more periodicals.
 MT Eglestons advertisement, "Choice Reading at Club Rates" in another col umn enumerates only fraction of the periodicals that may be clubbed with The News.

The HI. N c. w. Earnings.

The earnings of the Hartford and Connecticut Western road for the year ending September 30, 1886, showed a gain of 800, ,933. 21, and after paying in terest, taxes, etc., the company's net earnings this year have been S56, OPS 49 against deficit of over S51, GOO year ago. This year the company earned two per cent net on its capital. There has been reduction of communication ra'es during the year and the passenger trains have run about 60,000 miles less than they ran year ago, and yet with this large decrease in train mileage there has been slight increase in passenger receipts, showing that travel was not driven away, and there has, of course, been saving of the cost of running 60, 900 miles. This is the record of Supt McNeill's management. and it is one of which he and the directors may we'll be proud. The entire floating debt has been paid off. The company has S61O, 900 first mortgage bonds out as last year, with $90, ,00O more of them laid away in its treasury. These have been hypoth- coated but now are clear and are not to be issued until needed. The total capi. l tai of the road, if all the convertible bonds were converted, would be S2, 72O, GOO
