a Michigan editor lately made clippings
from ninety exchanges In that state that re-
ported emigration from each locality getting
ready 10 come to Dakota. In many cases
they are large colonies-l6O persons in one
case. IL IS believed that Michigan Is not ex-
coptioEal in this matter although the migra-
ton from there may be little more general
than the average. 1t is probable that the ac-
cesSion 10 the population of Dakota will be
greater than for several pears, perhaps than
any former year.
Theodore Roosevelt would not be taken for
q New York dude in his frontier garb among
the cowboys out In the Bad Lands. Parties
recently stole his boat, and Theodore made
affidavit in his mind that he would have that
boat IL he had 10 follow Il 10 the Gulf of Mex

The suicide of George BECKETT at YER
million n few days ago, was somewhat unu-
sual, from the fact that he had been resi-
dent OF Dakota fourteen years, and was q
man of education and superior intellectual
ability. In the bright MONDAY sun he put

The past week an eighteen-year-old young
man, heir to a large English estate, arrived
in the Red River valley, consigned to large
farmer by his guardian, who pays the farmer
ESQ besides his services for instruction in
Dakota farming for one year. There are
thorough, frst-claSS farmers in Dakota, but
it has not been supposed that England was
without experts IN that line. 1t is probable
that the considered healthfulness of the Gil
mate was one of the reasons for the consign-
ment.
While the Manitoba is building its extension
west from DEVILS Lake toward the Turtle
mountains, Cavalier county insists that it
should build some fCrty-five miles from Park
river into that county, which will, It is
claimed, grow a million and q half bushels of
wheat this year. If It does not, 1t is proposed
that the farmers run a track fifty miles from
Langdon 10 Minnewaukan and connect with
the Northern Pacific, or make a good wagon
road thirty miles to the Canadian Pacific.
The La Moure Progress finds that the wheat
sowing is from two to three weeks earlier
than usual all over the North, and in the
James river country the acreage Will be
nearly double of that of last year. In the
older counties there will be good deal of
wheat land put in other crops, but 1t is be-
lieved the new farms will keep up the wheat
acreage, and in the north as a whole there
will be many more acres in wheat this year
than ever before.
Col Pummer has Just returned from another
brilliant starring tour with his Flower

The Kingman farm near Hillsboro is not
among the largest of the bonanzas, but in
culture and equipment is a model and the adj
miration of visitors. It has for some time past
