YORKTOWN S1FTINGS.

An unusual number of social gather

three months, being both profitable and
pleasant, and generous kindly feeling
exists among all of our settlers. On FIJI

tiers at large, to be used for church pur-
poses. 1t Is to be regretted that York
town in ITS infancy was unfortunate in
having inexperienced men at the helm.
Their mismanagement has proved Sc
we're blow, but time, energy and patience,
will bring the town in the force round. Its
central location and beautiful situation,
renders 1t every way certain to become a
busy little mart. This county needs,
and needs badly, railroad from LaMourc
to Ellendale,-a gap of thirty miles
which if built, would make an outlet
from y ankton to Duluth. But LaMourc
and Elendale reminds one of the two
boys who went out IN the field to fight
when they reached the ground, one was
afraid and the other dare not-but of the
two LaMeure no doubt has the most grit.
At present there is serious talk of urging
the extension OF the railroad from Minor
through Yorktown to Keystone, and thus
leave LasIoure and Ellendale out in the
cold.
If this tine weather continues, in q
weeks time the spring toeth harrows will
be in motion, and very large acreage
will be sown this season. Lemon.

The Northern Dakota Eleva ator com
pany is doing a good thing for the farm
ers in urging them to carefully prepare
their seed wheat to prevent the increas-
ing amount of smut that has appeared
within the last two or three crops.
The recipe Of soaking the seed in a
solution of blue vitriol has been eXten-
sively published and the attention of all
the farmers necessarily called to the
remedy If it succeeds in decreasing
only this growing evil in the territory, the
elevator people will deserve the lasting
thanks of every farmer who takes ad-

In commenting upon the candidacy

In commenting upon the candidacy Of
alderman ID. Il. Long for the office of
mayor of the city OF Jamestown, the
press, as we'll as the public, can truthful
ly discern something more than the ac-
knowledgeu strength of his position as =
candidate. The office Of mayor is the most
honorable, and the chiefest distinction
which a city can bestow. The prefer
ment generally comes with the weight and
dignity Of yesrs, and IS graceful publ
acknow cement of a long and honora-
bic career. If Mr.. Long IS elected mayor
of Jamestown, the honor and dignity OF
the position will be none the less deserved
IN this instance, because he IS a young
man. 1t will be proper and merlted
distinction. and one of the rewards which
in impartial Dakota, man of twenty or
a man Of fifty, has an equal chance OF OBJ
tanning. 1t is one Of the best advertisements
of the new northwest. 1t is an induce

the strength OF ability alone, and not on
account of money or pedigree, can fill the
offices of honor aud trust before he is SUI

class of men who respond to such induce
ments, are the men who build up and civil

SPEAKING OF the recent lease OF the
James River Valley railroad to the North
crn Pacific, and its continuation this
summer to a connection in central Dakota
with several trunk lines to Chicago, the
Pierre Press says
"'rhis IS the road that was surveyed
into this city last fall, and this recent
transfer is conclusive evidence that the
road, or u greater portion of 1t, will be
built during the coming season. 1t is un-
derstood that surveyors are now IN the
field correcting the line and making the
final location. A gang of light OF way
men are close behind the surveyors and
are rapidly securing deeds of right of way.
The report comes that grading will begin
as soon as spring opens. The line enters
this city on the Hllger's guch route, with
depot grounds on the flat east of the
Catholic church. The citizens Of Pierre
and the people along the contemplated
line are in high spirits over the bright
prospects connected with the completion
of the road.

A New Town.

Right of way agent Reed, of the james
River Valley, has plated new station
on that road which, although not yet ex-
actly located, will be between Montpelier
and Dickey, about SIX and half miles
from each town. A side track will be
placed in position soon, and large
amount of wheat, said to be still in the
hands of farmers in that vicinity, will be
loaded and shipped from that point. 1t
is possible that one or two Elevator Com
panles will build warehouses there. The
name of the new station is said to be
Christian, called 80, not particularly from
any reputation which the railroad, eleva-
tors, or farmers could bestox as bles-
sing, Tut from gentleman in St Paul
who is interested in the road.
