DUNsIETH, OAK, Sept. 14.-One look
ing on map of Dakota will see, away
off to the northwest, where the forty
ninth parallel sets the fiat of "thus far
and no farther,"a small group of mount
aims, called by that most unpoetical of
names, Turtle Mountains" in this land
where poesy has lent her charms TO so

mayhap, to trace it to a translation

the case with Devils Lake." but the

so intent on such plans our blackboard

admit more of the former than latter

Here and there along the route one
finds clumps of scrub oak or hazel

rather the beginnings of the summit,

while these trees lack the nobility of
forests in less windy lands, they are by
no means insignificant. and these woods
are full of fresh surprises in the great

lieves his craft in peril.

Young PIERCE, the secretary an
boomer for the North Dakota fair at
Grand Forks, has been reared so near
the journalistic pathway that he COM
prehends the value of advertising, and
if the exposition is not several strides
ahead of anything in that line ever
seen in territory, it will be because
antecedents and results do not have the
usual connection. The display will
comprise all the normal features, and
surprise by its evidences of develop
ment, especially in the way of stock,
and will not lack in the condiments
that give spice to such occasions, and
draw the elements that are not at
tracted by the simply instructive and
useful. The Grand Forks people de-
serve great credit for the spirit with
which they have taken hold of the mat
ter-their sort of pluck is indicated by
their placing upon the municipal pro-
gramme a Sl5O,OOO hotel and elegant
$4,000 opera house.

A Dakota man is said to have diScov-
cred that troublesome weed that grows
abont the highways and barns to the
height of twelve or fourteen feet, and
thick enough to call for an axe, has all
the desirable qualities for fuel, worth
double its bulk in pine and nearly equal
to maple. The easy name for it is chem
opodium hybridum. Another Dakota
scientist is making Irvine out of weeds.
and still another has found a way to at
tach harrow to a pillow without requir-
ing additional power. 1t may be that
they will be of more value than some of
the politicians.
There is a good deal of talking in the
papers that got left in the WatertOwn
job about the bad conduct of individuals.
GRIGSBY is verbally kicked because he
did not let his men vote for CLIFFORD
when they could have pulled him
through. But the Grand Forks Herald,
which is sore, would sympathize with
the Smoked Yank if he had not been SO
foolish as TO rely upon PETTIGREw,
whom the Herald calls a third-rate
politician, hypocritical and treacherouS,
and who betrayed GRIGsBY and gloated
over his fall. The only Sioux Falls
man who went home in good humor was

The summer lark way of making
claims in Dakota by young women or
vOuths, who wanted a romantic episode
to relate when they returned to their
homes in the states, is thing of the
past. They can still acquire the land,
but they must have bona fide resi-
dence, and give evidence that they pro-
pose to help swell the census. The
laws are being interpreted in their true
spirit by common sense people. The
local officials are, perhaps, at times a
little too loyal to the letter and red
tape, but Secretary Villas rectifies their
work. The recent case of Miss BAR
THoLoMEw in the Aberdeen district is
Illustrative. She had been five years
working to make the claim, living on it
three months, and teaching nine months
for means to make the improve mentS,
which were house. valued at S225, and
forty acres in cultivation. The Aber-
deem officials thought her residence was
not sufficient, but she appealed to
Washington, and will, no doubt, secure
a decision from Secle tary Villas, as he
has decided similar eases in favor of the
ladies.

The temperance plank adopted at
WATERFOWL was modelled after the Chi
cago structure-favors all just measures
for the Punishment of the saloon. There
were number of saloonkeepers among
the delegates-CLARK, of jamestown,
SHORE, of Minnewaukon, and others
who found no objection to this resolu-
ton. They evidently understood that
it was a bait for the Prohibition vote,
and not designed to interfere with their
calling. Construed by the Prohibition
ist, it would mean the abandonment of
local option and the passage of general
law interdicting the sale of liquor as a
beverage. The men who passed this
resolution do not mean anything of this
kind, and if such measure is adopted
it Will have no inspiration from the
Watertown platform. The saloon and

Standing in the corner, prim and stiff and high,
Holding treasures, gathered for and near.

And one tiny, tinkling golden bell:

Why prize 1t, little tooth prints tell.

Brought from sunny India's distant strand;
Rings Of different sizes, costly, quaint and old,
That have graced dimpled baby hand.
Pretty, loving keepsakes, coins, and shells, and
Dainty little pictures, fair and sweet:

And the chain OF birthdays is complete.

With the sweet, old-timey simple dress.

Tenderly to each my lips press.
Do you listen, wondering why fondly smile,
Why no sad, regretful tear drops fall?
See that portrait smiling from its gilded frame,
With the manly form so brave and tall;
With the handsome features, and the regal

And the smiling eyes: They are the same!

Written on the highest scrolls of fame.
Would you grieve and sorrow il lovely bud,
Full Of perfumed beauty all untold.

And to all it's loneliness unfold!

Another in 1888.

Marsh II. Tucker a prominent real estate
agent of Elzebeth,N who has for over forty
five years voted the Democratic ticket, has
declared his intention of voting for protec-
ton to American industries and an honest
man for President. In an interview with a
n. Y. Tribune reporter Mr.. Tucker says:
No, sir, can't stand free trade After
reading the Presidents free trade message
was set to thinking of the year of 1882, when
the State of South Carolina in convention
assumed a position of direct anita gonism to the
General Government on the tariff question
and threatened to withdraw from the Union.
Henry Clay's compromise bill provided for the
gradual reduction of duties till 1913, when
they were to reach the level of 20 per cent.
This enabled the opponents of the tariff to
retire from the field of battle, and the vexed
question was laid at rest for the season. Now
let us see how this low tariff worked

ters," issued by few merchants who had
been able to stand the racket" When Little
Vans term was out the people thought they
had had enough of that kind of tariff. The
people had their Protection Harrison in 1910,
and they will have another in 1888.
