Maiden Rock people enjoyed rare
treat Dec % and 90, furnished them
by the w. G. 7. u. Monday evening,
Dec. %. in spite of steady, disagree.
able rain, large audience greeted
Miss Phebe Satterlee, of Minneapolis,
and listened with great attention and
interest to her very pleasing enter
tainment of reading and song. All
were pleased at the entire absence of
appearance, and the most critical
could find nothing that was other than
modest and wOmanly in her bright,
natural manner. Both recitatiOns
and songs varied IN sentiment from
grave to gay. from lively to serene.
Her rendition of 1.-THE Polish Boy"
was particularly touching, while one
could not help but be amused by the
feminine human nature so skillfully
brought out in "Archie Dean. All
were stirred by her rendering of
several stanzas of Barbara Frietchie"
set to music. 1t is to be hoped that
this is not Miss Satterlee s last visit to
Maiden Rock.
Tuesday evening, Dec. 20, Minneso-
ta's temperance champion, Rev. W.
w. Satterlee, delivered a most STIR

is calm, thoughtful and argumenta.

heart, the intellect and the conscience,
it must have the effect of making men
both think and act.

The Hudson True Republican Dem
ocratic) in commenting upon the vote
of Congressman Price on the bill Civ
ing Mrs. Grant d pension endorses his
action and incidentally suggests that
"scores of other Congressman would
have voted the same way, but they
lacked the courage" Many of the
stalwart Republican papers of the
east predict that Mr.. Prices goose is
cooked" because of his vote against
this pension bill. but there are great
many deader Congressman than Mr..
Price will be at the expiration of his
present ter m, and should he conclude
TO become a candidate for reelection
the fact that he possesses the courage
to vote according to his convictions
Will far outweigh any amount of SEN
timental gush that may be poured out
against him because he does not
stand in with the Grant family.

Udhpet0n, Dakota.

ED. JOURNAL:-The year 1885 has
passed, with all its joys and SORROWS.
While North Dakota has not been ex-
empt from a moderate share of the
latter. it has probably enjoyed more
than it's share of the former. The
health has been good to the highest
expectation. With the exception of
a hailstorIn on the 10th of August it
has been exempt from destructive
storms. The crops have been good in
general and of good quality.
Much grain was destroyed by the
hail hut tie total average OF Richland
county was IL and 6-10ths bushels per
acre on wheat and the average for the
Territory was IL bushels. Richland
county has had a steady growth, in
numbers and improvements, but the
rush of immigration has been further
west.
Tie price of wheat has ranged du-
ring the past fall from IS to IS cents
pei bushel for No. Hard. and four
cents less for Northern. The bulk
of the wheat has been sold or stored
and but little wheat is moving at pres
ent. although the going is fair.
The prospect of the Dakota Midland
Railroad being completed next sum
mer is very flsttering. This road will
open up large tract of farming
country.
The City of wahpeton is now full
fledged. and controls its own licenses,
paying One-third into the county treas
ury. The city has a complete system
of water-works and two well equipped
fire companies While the city is
somewhat encountered by the public
improvements the county is out of
debt, with the exception of a small
debt on the new Court House, which
is not due yet. and has surplus of
$50. 800 in the treasury. There are
ninety schOOlhouses in the county.
Each town controls its own schools,
and County superintendent has the
direction of the whole.
While the division of the Territory
is favored by the politicians of both
North and South Dakota, if left to the
people there would be large major
ity against division.

The Senate Committee on Territor-
les on Monday reported an original
bill for the admission of South Dakota
as State and the organization of
North Dakota into a Territory to be
known as Lincoln. In a report accom-
panying the bill the committee shows
eonclusiyely to all who may view the
question without prejudice that South
Dakota has stronger grounds upon
which TO base her claims for admis-
sion than did a number of other states
which now form part of the Union,
in every conceivable way. In are,
population, improvements, education
al affairs, provisions for criminals and
dependents she is abreast of the times
ard more than fills every constitution
al and legal requirement as condi-
lion for admission. Notwithstanding
all this il is doubtful if she is admit
ted during the present Congress ex-
cept upon some compromise which will
create two Democratic United States
senators by the admission of some
other Territory al the same time.
