DAKOTA NIPS.

tons will be established at several
points. There should be at least half
dozen, but probably the means at hand
will not admit of more than two OF
three-one at Fargo or some other point
in the Red river valley, and perhaps
one in the Black Hills. Experiments at
Brookings with productions and seeds
would be of small value in the Red
river or Mississippi valley.

1t is a good omen for jamestown that
the Daily Alert has been forced to en-

GA loved victim of the New York
BLIZZARD was pulpit utterance in the

style of phraseology.

Some Eastern papers do not take in
the right spirit the proffers of material
relief-the word gall and similar terms
cropping out. There was genuine SYM
patty for the victims of the tempeStS
peculiar to that country, with mixture
of POPULARITY. 1t was an opportunity of
a lifetime, and the Dakota rustlers gen
orally improve opportunities.

The health board of Mandan publish
an elaborate report of the cases of small
box brought there, and confined to two
families, about which reporters from
other towns have sent out exaggerated
and injurious accounts. ''The disease

report says, land the ghosts can now
resume their antics"

Some of the people who are suffering
for a lack of court facilities are not en-
thuSiaStic over the call of two of the
judges from the bench to go to Wash

work for which he is paid, and which
should not draw largely upon the brain
or muscular force.

Gen. GEORGE W. CAss, whose death
was announced the past week, had
great many friends in the Red river
valley. where most of his vast Dakota
estate is. He had been aiding Bishop
WALKER in the erection of those neat
and artistic stone churches that are dot

kota. He was one of the earlier preSi-
dents of the Northern Pacific.

The Chicago publishing firm of RAND,
MCNAILY & Co. write the GLOBE in the
way of complaint of a casual criticism
of their map of Dakota for using the
census figures of 1880. They make this
singular statement by way of apology:
An attempt was made to take census OF
Dakota in 1885, but we were informed, after
numerous inquiries to the governor and Sec
retary of state, that sufficient money could
not be raised to accomplish it, and that no
of 1iobi annld no
prefer an authorized statement to one which
is in no particular reliable.
The census of 1856 was taken under
the administration of Gov. PIERCE, the
north by Maj. EDWARDS, of Fargo, and
the south by a gentleman from Pierre,
neither of whom will very kindly accept
the view that their work was Gin no
particular reliable" Its figures GER
tainly approached present facts much
nearer than the census of 1880, when
some of the larger cities were not laid
out. Commissioner MCCLURE managed
to get figures of the towns in 1887 that
are regarded as rather reliable, and he
finds cities of 10000 where the Chicago
firm, with their eight-year-old specta-
cles, could see but 1000 or $500

Other candidates will do well to re-
member that Gen. ALLEN can eXhume
from his campaign biography pictures
of the reckless lumberman r0llicking
upon the rolling logs in the turbulent
waters, and of late he is deeply inter-
ested in the operations of the Farmers
alliance-and then he has the gait of a
statesman.

That Dakota farmer who went TO
California last fall in quest of a better

those who have left Dakota for that pur-
pose, when he writes: ''Offer premium

there in time to compete for it,
