Just before adjournment last night,
MIR. Cotton of Burlington, Ward couhty
called the attention of the alliance dele
gates to a matter which more nearly IN
terests them and touches their purse
strings than many questions over which
they are raising furor. It is well known
that coal of superior quality is found IN
the Mouse river country. The Manitoba
railroad company, however, has made a
prohibitory coal tariff which practically
prevents the general Introduction or
shipment of this coal. Mr.. Cotton to
rectify this state of affairs, wants the al
lance to recommend to the legislature
the passage of bill compelling railroad
companies to build side tracks to ada
cent coal mines which shipped 50 car
loads Of coal, and haul coal from such
mines at the rate of one cent mile per
ton for the first hundred miles, three
quarters of cent per ton per mile for
second hundred miles, etc. If the ALL
ance can secure the passage of such bill
they will accomplish something not only
for the benefit Of themselves, but the
whole territory as we'll.

Agricultural Falr Matters.

At the recent meeting of the territorial
board of agriculture in Fargo, the busl-
ness of settling accounts and preparing a
report for the governor was transacted
The board will ask for an increase in the
appropriation SO as to enable it to organ
ize farmers Institutes throughout North
Dakota, thus elevating it. to something
BESIDES mere organization for holding a
fair.
The following are the members of the
new board: James B. Vallandlngham,
Valley City; Joseph Tombs, Grafton; j..
B. Power, Power; DR.. Glasgow, Cassel-
ton; I. c. Wade, Jamestown; f. I. King
man, Hillsboro; Gerald Pierce.s Bis
marck; William Bulge, Grand Forks:
and II. L. Morton, Hamilton. They will
meet in the Columbia hotel on Jan. 8,
1889. says the Argus, and it is more than
likely that if Fargo makes an offer at that
meeting for the fair next year, it will be
accepted-the more especially on account
of the different railroads convening in
Fargo-thus rendering unnecessary the
transhipment of stock and produce.
It is said grant of three hundred and
twenty acres for an experimental farm,
race track, and buildings is the lever,
which, if handled properly, will stop the
peregrinating of the board and perma-
nently locate it.
The officers and members appear to
have done we'll. and the secretary, Mr..
Pierce, takes pride in saying that they
have nice balance to their credit.

The Mass Convention Sets 1t Roll

Resolutions Demanding Admission
and Division by the 5oth
Congress, or
An Extra Session Tor that Purpose
Inter er-Territorial ConVen-
ton Endorsed.
Territorial Legislature Urged tc
Make Provision for Consti-
tutional Convention.

The mass convention that met nj this
city yesterday was undoubtedly the
most important political gathering in
the short history of North Dakota. In
this country of ours, statehood marks a
great epoch in any community's history,
and that convention arranged the pre-
liminaries and mapped out a line for
concerted action which will place North
Dakota in the sisterhood of states by
January 1st, 1890. The great signif-
cance of the convention lies in the fact
that it was the occasion of the first con-
certed move for statehood in North Da-
kota, and that such was its sole object
The delegates numbered over 3OO, and
were,composedo of our intelligent, repre-
sentative people.
The exponents of conservatism and en-
thusiasm were there, advocating slightly
differing methods TO obtain statehood.
The convention in it's wisdom, endorsed
the conservative plan which contem-
plates admission in the winter OF lSS9-9O,
depreclates ":untlue haste and favors the
calling of a constitutional convention by
the legislature. 1t was held by the
more enthusiastic that a call for such
convention should be issued here, and as
opinion on that point was pretty nearly
evenly divided, it was thought that if
the question were raised in the conven-
tion, it would prove troublesome and re-
suit in prolonged discussion. The
committee on resolutions however, took
the bull by the horns and re-
ported resolution favoring
the conservative method. This re-
port was unanimously adopted, and the
only question on which there was the
least difference of opinion was happily
disposed OF.
The most interesting feature, and in
deed the only contest Of the convention,
was over the chairmanship. The candl-
dates we're, of course, settled upon in
caucus. Gov. Pierce was the choice OF
the Missouri slope and the upper Red
River valley; the lower Red and the en-
tire Jim valley, with the exception OF
Dickey county, fell into line for V. 5.
Stone of Fargo. The vote was taken by
county and resulted in favor of Pierce by
111 to so for Stone. The counties voting
for Pierce were:
Billings, Burleigh, Dickey, Emmons,
Grand Forks, Kidder, Logan, Mercer,
McHenry, Mclean, Morton, Nelson, OH
yer. Pemb;na, Ramsey, Stark, Towner
and Walsh.
The Stone counties were:
Barnes, Benson, Cass, Eddy, Foster,
TaMoure, Richland, Rolette, Stutsman,
Steele, Traill, Wells and Ward.
Ransom divided it's vote and Bottineau,
Gr;pes, Mcintosh and Sergeant we're not
represented.
The convention was harmonious and
practically unanimous on every point
after the selection of the chairman. This
unanimity leaves no room Tor longer
eastern doubt as to our wishes and any
obiector to our admission fmust here
after expose himself as a malicious as
sailant of the territory and its best inter-
ests.

NOTES
Editor Gray, of the Bismarck Settler,
is acting as Secretary Soderberg's assist
ant.
Vice President Fancher occupied the
presidents chair good part of last
night.
A number of alliance men visited l. c..
Wade's stock farm today and examined
his fine stock
Cass county's celebrated boomer and
commissioner, James A. Holes, is among
the delegates.
J. X. Engberg and e. II. Estabroolz, Of
Barlow, are among the prominent farm
ers in the city.
E. A. Webb, publisher Of the Farmer
and Breeder of Fargo, one Of the most
successful class journals in Dakota, is an
attendant at the convention.
Hon. George Crosse smiles on all his
friends aud his big hearty handshake is
in constant demand. Mr.. Crosse has a
ground work Of common sense which
goes long way IN convincing the far
merS.
The farmers convention include some
sharp. shrewd men. Anyone attending
Yesterdays session would have heard
some bright expressions and witty
speeches that would do credit to any
gathering of men.
Lecturer A. d. Chase Of the alliance, is
one of tie shining lights attending the
annual meeting. Mr.. Chase will be re-
membered as the gentleman who deliv-
cred the Fourth of July address at the
Farmers Alliance picnic this summer.
Much Of the comfort and pleasure OF
the alliance delee ates in their court
house meetings, is due to the careful and
considerate attention with which that
popular and accommodating deputy sheriff
Tom Bowtlitch looks after all the de-
tails.
Among the members Of the legislature
who are present at the convention are
Hon. Ira Lampman and Hon. d. Nc
Donald. Barnes county, Hon. George
Walsh, Grand Forks county. Secretary
Soderberg of Minnehaha county, Hon.
Smith Stimmel of Fargo
The alliance sessions are supposed to
be executive or secret hereafter, but the
necessities OF disseminating informa-
tion OF their proceedings are So great
that newspaper men will be permitted to
be present, provided they promise fair
treatment to the alliance and interests.
J.B. Wolgemuth is one of the most
active and popular officers of the alliance
He has been the official purchasing agent
of the alliance for the past year, and now
with the incorporation of that branch
with others will have an enlarged scope
of duties. Mr.. Wolgemuth has head
quarters at Aberdeen.
4 delegate from one Of the northern
counties in spirit of superlative con-
graduation said that if he did not know
what assenblage the farmers belonged to
he would say at first guess, after one
glance at the personal appearance of the
delegates. that he had stumbled in upon
a meeting of the British house of lords.
The first days session Of the farmers,
if it did nothing greater, developed two
humorists funny men not unwilling to
let their light shine. Both Of them made
speeches yesterday. VanDoren of Hand
county made some rather odorous refer
ences to the swaddiing clothes of the
republican and democratic bodies Of

past year they took S6,O00,0OO of risks
and paid over $SO,oO0 in losses much of
it before due. The company did pre-
MUM business of S250,O00. Its total
business this year is equal to one-sixth of
the entire business Of the 100 old compa-
MES doing business in the territory last
year. The business OF the incorporated
company has been equally satisfactory,
but in his report President Crosse recon-
mends some important changes, viz:
That the alliance of each county meet
and select a point for a county, and that
county agents be appointed. Another
recommendation is that the centralizing
of all departments at one town and hav-
ing the secretary of the territorial alli-
ance make his headquarters at the same
place. The annual meeting of the 1ncor-
p orated company will be held at LAber-
deem, Jan. 10th.
