Revival in Dakota.

A new era Of prosperity, more conservative
and stable than that Of 1903, seems about to
dawn. One proof Of this is the almost univer-
sal revival Of boards OF trade and kindred Or
gaDizations. Brainerd, jamestown, Bismarck,
st. Cloud. Huron, Grand Forks, Milbank and
other cities and towns have within a few
weeks infused new life and fresh blood into Oh
gaDizations that have for five years made no
efforts to accomplish anything for their Iocali-
ties. This widespread awakening Of local
pride means nothing else than that the tide of
immigration is again ready to turn northwest

Yesterday was lovely spring like day, the
mercury stood at 40 above in the shade, and
the sky was without cloud. The SNOW
was thawing rapidly, and in the low spots the
water stood in puddles. The school boys were
out playing ball, the cattle browsing on the
bills, and all nature rejoicing at the breaking

couraged to believe that syndicate of foreign
millers will come there for this purpose. The
inducement is to obtain hard wheat in its puri-

obtained are lower than the Liverpool market

buyers the home purchasers will be forced up
