A great deal of complaint is head from per-
sons who are compelled to visit Fargo owing
to the annoyance and Inconvenience people
are subjected to in making connection at
Casselton with the Northern Pacific going into
or with the Manitoba coming out OF Fargo.
A recent writer in one Of the Fargo papers
says shat 1t is an outrage On the travelling
public, and If our railroad commissioners are
any good they will stop it." and he hits the
nail squarely on the head. The people
living on either the Hope, Portland or Mayville
branches Of the Manitoba, though only thirty
to sixty miles distant from Fargo, can reach
Minneapolis or ST. Paul as quick and with less
Inconvenience than they can now get to Fargo.
1t seems to us that the business men Of Fargo
would have sufficient interest In this matter to
take hold OF 1t and lay it before the railroad
authorities In such a manner as to have 1t
remedied. Fargo can never reap any benefit
from the fine country northwest of her, and
which should naturally do a large amount of
trading with her, until the people have better
railroad facilities. Numbers who would be
glad to run down to Fargo when she has any
attraction to offer are deferred from 80 doing
on account Of the time and Inconvenience Of
getting there and back, and Fargo loses thou
sands Of dollars annually thereby.

St. Paul Globe; Tho present rulings Of the
land Office in regard to tree claims are not cal.
culated to provoke enthusiasm among holders
Of such who have hoped to prove up by an
easy method. In years past many claims have
been proved up in eight years from time Of
filing, the last planting Of trees being but three
to five years out The law specifies eight years
as the time the trees must be in cultivation, and
Of course, they cannot comply with this re.
quirement il out but four or i've years. Un-
less special circumstances have enhanced its
value, man generally earns his tree claim By
the time he gets his patent.

The New Rockford eddy county Kew Era
claims to have good authority for the state
ment that Col. Britton, who has been in Mas
sachusetts for several months endeavoring to
float the bonds Of the Minnesota & Dakota
railroad, has been successful In securing the
funds for the construction Of little over one
hundred miles Of road from Fargo northwest,
and is now negotiating for the next hundred
miles, with the prospect Of early success. Col.
Brtton was expected to be in Fargo by the 9Th
of June, where, 1t is claimed, everything is in
readiness TO commence the work. The Era
also mentions that rumor Is current "that
the road contemplates deviation to the south
so as to pass through Cooperstown."

Mr.. Dougherty mounted the platform and In
one Of his most brilliant efforts presented the
name Of Grover Cleveland as the choice OF
New York, and pledging him the electoral vote
Of the state. As Mr, Dougherty finished his
impassioned speech some one uncovered q pic
ture Of the president and the hall and audi
torium rang with cheer upon cheer. Hats
were thrown in the air, red bandannas waved
from thousand hands, hats were thrust upon
points Of canes and waved till the owners be-
came exhausted. Some one on the stage
crowned the bust Of the president with a
laural wreath, which was the signal for even
wider burst Of shouts and cheers than ever.

great scene was reached when the banners Of
all the states was borne By the delegates to tho
New York standard and grouped about it At
this the enthusiasm was unbounded. Specta-
tors and delegates tore the red, white. and
blue bunting from the pillars and from the
face Of the balconies, waving their improvised
banners all over the hall for ten minutes This
remarkable outburst did not cease till ali were
absolutely exhausted. 1t was exactly twenty

Last Saturday the writer received from Chi
cago, enclosed in another envelop. letter
which was written and deposited in the post
Office at Chicago on the I'd day of April, 1855,
and which was returned to the writer at Chi
sago on the S0th Of May. The letter was
addressed in plain, bold hand, ''R. q. Simp-
son, Editor Pioneer, Hope, Dak.," and bore the
Chicago post mark only. Where 1t had been
during the two months, or why 1t was returned
to the writer instead Of being forwarded to its
destination, will probably always remain
among the mysteries that can only be solved
by time-or Uncle Sans postal employees.

An interesting legal question, says the st.
Paul Globe, will be presented to the courts
growing out Of the attempt to list for taxation
the wheat removed out OF the territory by tho
elevators in April to escape taxation. The law
requires that personal property shall be listed
month earlier than merchandise. The as
SCISSORS claim that wheat is personal property,
while the elevators insist that it is merchandise
held for sale. The courts only can determine
which is correct.
