tentive audience, on the evening
of April 9th, A League was
formed with ]. W. Hess, President.
and A. o. Flowers, Secretary,
Their P. O. address is Wyatt, Har-
rison County. On the evening of
the 2Sth talked to another large
audience near Glover's Gap, Marion
County. Here also an organization
was effected.
The Secretary is G. D. Hawken-
berry; address, Metz, Marion
County. On the following Sab
bath evening l preached for DR..
Webb in Warrington and upon in
quiry found that thorough work is
being done there for the Amend
ment. Rev. A. P. Sallaz filled my
appointment at Bethlehem, Dod-
bridge County, and organized the
temperance forces there. Rev. G..
Il. Devol also took my place at
Trace Fork, Gilmer County. He
reports good meeting and much
interest in the Amendment
Through mistake no meeting was
held in Tannersville. In company
with Rev. R. A. Hit 1 expect to
visit that place during the sum-
mer, also mber of other points
in Gilmer ard Calhoun. The talk
that if $50 and SO" is done the peo-
pie will "stab" the Amendment, is
all nonsense. The people don't
propose to do any such thing. All
they need is to have the after
fully explained. So far as l have
talked with the people upon the
subject they repudiate the charge.
A majority of them are in for
Prohibition and will vote for it,.
Every Temperance man must vote
for the Amendment, and let the
political parties paddle their own
canoes.

The above map gives the reader some
what of an idea of the great railroad and
commercial center Cakes is surely deS-
tined to be. Cakes is city at present
of about 600 inhabitants, and is
situated in the eastern portion of
Dlckey county, one of the richest
agricultural districts in the territory. 1t
also lies in almost the geographical cen
ter of that portion of Dakota territory
lying east of the Missouri river, and in
the very heart of that magnificent
river valley" which has made Dakota
famous throughout the world by it's
wonderful production of hard wheat.
The city lies one mile east of and thirty
seven feet above the level of the James
river. At a depth of fifteen feet below
the surface there is an ineXhauStible
supply of
THE PUREST WATER
found in Dakota, being suitable for
both engines AMI manufacturing pur-
poses. The city of Cakes was not plated
until Sept. 90. 1856. but at the first sale
of lots over $4,000 changed hands. The
streets are now Ornamented with buSi-
ness blocks that would be a credit to
city many times its size. Judging by
present indications, the city will this
has never been eQualed in the West.
Among the many improvements to be
made, we may mention $4,000 flour
ing mill. now in course of erection, with
capacity of $50 barrels per day. A
5000 school house is to be built. The
Baptist, Presbyterian and Methodist
societies have all awarded contracts
for the erection of large church edifices
this spring. Over 200 buildings were
erected in Oakos the first year of it's ex-
istence, and with such live men as
MessrS. Marshall, James, Mccarthy,
Slocum, Peabody, Roddle, Hagen, and
many others backing the town, it can
not help but become city.
The principal real estate interests in
Cakes are owned as follows: The West
ern TOwnsite company and the North
ern Pacific railway own the original
town site, which includes 800 acres. The
Minneapolis IL Pacific road in connec-
ton with the Cakes syndicate, of which
Hon. L. F. Marshall is local manager.
and is ably assisted by Col. M. S. James,
owns 400 acres adjoining the town. The
Sioux Falls syndicate, composed of
President Mckinney, of the Sioux Falls
National bank, W. W. Bookings, Eddy
& Davenport, DR.. Subera and others,
are largely interested in Cakes. Parties
from Appleton, Wis. have invested
$4,000 in Cakes real estate, and have
more to put in. j. Mccarthy. of
Cakes, also owns very valuable addi
ton to the city, which he has just plat
ted and placed on the market.
Cakes has an excellent weekly news
paper, the Republican,, ,Jhich is ably
edited by W. II. Ellis. A boom edition
of 10000 copies of this paper is just be-

started by Mr.. Caldwell touching the

by the governor on his visit here some
time ago. During the last week the
papers through the whole territory have
contained references in one way and
another to the manner in which the
governor ''slighted' the local Demo-

advised the faithful here to pass the
thing over for the good of the party, and
Republican papers, with disinterested-
ness which is heroic, have insisted that
the Democrats resent it. 1t is now per-

positions. The governor was not MAX

people short time before and was

or to appear to be the occasion of any
more elbow OUTS Announcement
however was made in the Argus Leader
that the governor was at the c ataract,
aud that he would be glad to receive
visits from any who might call. Many
did call and many did not But no one
here thought of having been sighted.
There were no insults, no cold deals. no
wine bottles, no schemes, no resigna-
tons. The whole story sprung, like
Minerva. full grown from the brain of
this journalistic Zeus, who once occu-
pied the position of ex-auditor Of the
territory. The fiction was conceived,
born and matured in a single flight of
an unsteady imagination, and it may
safely be said that father and child are
alike ashamed of each other.

The Policy Which the Paper Has Pursued in Achiey-
