Burlington, Ward County.

sP'hht's
We believe that Burlington will be
the winner terminus of the western ex-
tension Of the NJ & NJ road. Its loca-
ton is ut the confluence Of the DeL.ac,
with the Mouse river, is on direct line
from Devils Lake to the Great Falls of
the Missouri, and the crossing Of the
Mouse river valley can be effected here
better and at less expense to the rail-
road company, than at any other point
for many miles. The valley of the De-
Lac. runs in nearly a west course from
its intersection with the Mouse valley
to the head of that stream and affords
an easy and inexpensive grade from,
Burlington, n long distance towards
Fort Buford. The excellent farm and
stock lands of Ward county, and espec-
tally the DeLac valley affords a guaran.
ty that the road will be certain to tap
this rich and fertile region. More than
this, the best coal in Dakota and the
most extensive yiens Of coal are found
in this immediate vicinity and it is be-
lieved that its steam-making quality is
such that it can be used for locomotive
fuel without requiring the admixture of
Pennsylvania or Iowa coal to aid its
steam making power.

Special Correspondence Of the INTER OCEAN
BARTLETT, May 26.-Iti is so long since
1 have written you in regard to this
place that I have almost lost the combi-
nation. I think it will be just as we'll to
commence with the machine men who
infest every place where a bushel of
wheat is grown or is likely to be. Well
We have our share o fthem, and Ibelieye
all are doing a lively business and re.
port large sales in all classes of agricul-
tural implements and machinery. The
merchants are also doing a very safe
and lucrative business which is much
augmented by the influx of immigrants.
Bones are coming in in large quantities
which is quite a our of revenue to
the people in the outlying districts, the
merchants paying good fair prices In
cash and merchandise.
The assessor has nearly completed
his labors in this town and reports the
people IN a fourishing condition, hav-
ing unearthed property to the value of
$4,000 or Whereabouts, or nearly double
that Of last year. Ifevery township in the
county foots up in the same way accor-
ding to the population it will not be
very difficult to raise all the money
necessary for the government Of the
county in all its different departments.
The crops in this part Of the county
look well and every prospect is held ont
to the horned palmed workers of the
soil that they will be richly rewarded
for all the labor, care and expense that
they have incurred. Frank B. Bartlett,
our bonanza farmer, is not content with
setting an example of enterprise and in
dustry in the way of raising large crops
of wheat, etc., but he must need 20 into
identifying his home by planting some
thing like $4,000 trees, on about II or Is
acres of land which in a few short years
will enhance the value of his property
more than he can rightly estimate.
McDougall has also gone and done it
and Mrs. Mac now sings the sweet bye
and bye in a superb and stately man
sion 16x3O feet, which is quite an add.
ton to the private residences of our
town. Richard n. Walker has also put
up an addition Of considerable size to his
already fine residence and it is pre-
sumed that his months residence in
Minnesota this spring had considerable
to do with it.
The public school in this place which
has been closed down for some time re.
opened last Monday, Miss Powers being
engaged as teacher.
Our trustworthy and much esteemed
lawyer, Hon. VIM. Standish, seems ia
haye his hands full at the present time
with business in connection with all the
different departments which he repre-.
