One of the proprietors of the Yankton
Daily Dress and Dakotian, is one of the
ablest editors in the territory, although
frequently on the wrong side of popu-
lar question. He was educated at James
vile. WIS.,, where he learned the
printers trade, and is considered one of
the best job printers in the country.
He was member of the
Twelfth Wisconsin battery dur
ring the civil war, after which he spent
considerable time OH Chicago papers as
reporter. In 1875 he moved to Yankton,
and with George w. Kingsbury estab-
lished the first daily paper ever pub
lished in the territory, and although he
has put in some pretty long hours, he is
still able to count his wealth. President
Arthur, with the assistance of Delegate
Raymond. appointed Mr.. Bowen post
master at Yankton. which Office he held
till removed for offensive partisanship.
Mr.. Bowen has great aversion for ad-
vocates of the zone state" movement
and for territorial governors. He is
withal pleasant gentleman.

Special to the Globe.
VALLEY CITY, March 9.-Col. ElsOn,
inspector general of the Dakota Ma
tional guards, member of the governors
staff, and a gentleman in the best sense
of the word, is on tour of inspection
of the territorial militia, and was here
ON Tuesday evening. Although the alb
Sence of a number of the members of
militia companies thinS the ranks at
this time of year, Company f, of this
city, mustered in good force. The in
spectiOn took place at the armory and
the company under the command of
Capt. Black, LieutS. Peake and Girard,
were highly complimented by the
colonel for their efficiency.
President Loucks, of Territorial alli-
ance, has been making speeches through
some of the North Dakota counties of
late, advising the farmers among other
things to favor alliances, and purchase
their farm machinery direct from the
manufacturers. This has awakened
some of the implement dealers, and they
are after him in lively style. Some of
the business men of Valley City have
that bristles with facts that are hard to
cOntrovert. They show that the aver
age agricultural implement dealer of
Dakota, so far from getting rich
on the profits with his business with
the farmers, has much Oftener failed,
and were forced to suspend from the
amount of farmers paper they were
forced to carry from year to year. Now,
however, when farmers are getting able
to pay cash. the dealers claim their
knowledge of the business and advant-
ages in buying and shipping, enable
them to make small profit, and yet
supply the farmer on more advantage
GUS terms than they can make with
manufacturers. 1t may be said that
many OF the best and most successful
farmers claim that their local dealers
men on whom they can have direct and
ready recourse for imperfect machinery
are the most profitable in the end for
the farmer to patronize.
One noticeable and commendable
feature of wheat raising for which
this section is noted, is the especial
are taking the present winter to
secure the cleanest and best seed grain.
The spring winds last year caused
more than the usual amount of weeds
to appear in the grain crop; and the
summer following, which has been
done the past two years, has given the
farmers many clean fields, on
which they seem determined to put
none but the best of seed. A sys-
tematic and thorough way of doing
farm work is being rapidly adopted in
this section, which no doubt Largely
accounts for the large amount of wheat
annually marketed here despite the
vagaries of seasons. Good farmers tell
us that with good culture and sound
seed, fair crop is assured OH this
soil, if it has moderate amount of
moisture during the first half of the
growth.
The more shrewd and intelligent
are beginning to comprehend that with
proper culture and care in preparation
of the soil the dangers of injurious
drOuthS can be materially arrested.

The Catholic priest of Fargo, is one of
the most distinguished clergymen in the
territory. Born in Ireland on the 18th
of January, 1912, he was brought to
America in his seventh year and placed
in charge of the Christian Brothers, at
Cleveland, o., where his good disposi-
tiOn and evident progress in studies
marked him out for the ecclesiastical
state. lie was adopted by the sanity
Bishop Whelan, of Wheeling, w. Va,
and in consequence of the times in the
South at that time was placed by him
in st. Mary's seminary for the study of
philosophy and theology. He was or
dained priest in st. JOseph's cathedral.
Wheeling, on the Sth of September, 1865.
He for twelve years with great
zeal and efficiency exercised the
sacred ministry on the laborious
missions of Western Virginia.
In consequence of falling health about
eight years ago, Bishop Marly's invita-
ton to join him in Dakota was accepted.
His ministry in the southern counties
of the territory has been very success
full. He enjoys here the reverence of
his own people and the highest respect
OF the general community, while lie has
the sturdy independence of Virginlan,
together with an extremely affable and
courteous manner characteristic of the
cultured priest. He is chaplain of the
Second regiment, ID. N. G., and his
sermon on 'Son of God and Country''
at the last encampment at Huron, Dak.,
was timely and eloquent. In connec-
tiOn with the establishment of the new
diocese of North Dakota many Catho-
lies and PrOtestants predict for him
ecclesiastical promotion, because of his
ripe experience, polished culture and
general adaptability. 1t is largely
through his efforts that 5000 has been
raised for the purpose of locating the
Catholic see in Fargo.

DAKoTA's NEW JUDGE.

of Bismarck, Dakota's newly appointed
associate Justice, was born in Oswego
county, New York, in 1858, and is the
son of John Garland, now of the regular
army. and who served as a union volun-
teer throughout the entire war of the
rebellion, as major of the Twenty-third
Michigan infantry. In 1855 the family
moved to Michigan, in which state the
thed future judge and distinguished
lawyer was reared to manhood. He was
admitted to the bar by the supreme court
of Michigan in 1875 and in 1877 came to
Bismarck, where he has since resided,
devoting himself faithfully to his pro-
fession. His worth as man and law
yer have long been appreciated by the
people of Bismarck and the judicial dis
trict, and in April. 1885, he was elected
mayor of the city by an overwhelming
majority. In May. 1885, he was ap-
pointed United States district attorney
for Dakota to fill the unexpired term of
Hugh j. Campbell. who was suspended,
and on May q, 1886, he was reappointed
for the regular term of four years. That
he has performed the duties of this Office
in keeping with its dignity and the abil-
ity required needs no further assurance
than the fact that he was heartily in
dorsed by the leading representative of
the territory and its bar for place upon
the supreme bench
