COL. PLuMMER PREDICTS.

Casselton Biizzard.--There was gener-
al fear all along the line that, after Great
Mogul Loucks issued his bull of excom-
munication against the Pioneer Press, IL
would cease to circulate within the borders
of the territory. but it comes right along
every day and people continue TO read it.
His bull against that paper had no more
effect than his wonderful prouunciamento
against Mathews aud in favor OF Harden
The farmers Of Dakota are men Of intelii-
eence. and all who sre not now on TO
Louck's racket will be before many moons
wax and wane. He and Crosse are the
cheapest kind Of cheap denagogues, The
farmers alliance is too strong an argani-
zation to become a political machine in
the hands of such men. The day will
cone when it will repudiats both Of them.
Mark the prediction.

the esteem of all who know him and viii
I'LL the ONCE OF Judge Of Probate to the
satisfaction Of everyone. The Judge and
his estimable wife, have fine farm well
improved, near Burdette which they have
rented and nov live in cozy cottage on
third street, one block and half east Of
Broadway.
Ex- Sheriff Peter McCray gave place
to Dan Walsh. Mr.. McCray enjoys the
distinction of being the first democrat ever
elected to the Office Of sheriff in Hand
county. He has, however, Allied the Of
fee very acceptably. We have frequent.
ly heard the remark "Peter made a good
sheriff He also has fine farm in ll2--
&c, where he viii probably make his flu
ture home. Mr.. Walsh also bears dis.
tinction as being the first and only Union
Labor man ever elected to ONCE in this
county. Dan however was so universally
liked, that politics had little 10 do with
hts election. He was elected becau,e he
possessed qualifications for making an ef-
ficisnt oficer--and this reminds us that
our people are iecoming more and more
inclined 10 the notion that fitness for Of
fee should have more consideration than
politics.
Fred. H. Burton heads the list Of Hand
county Auditors. His new position is one
of the most important, and We believe he
is amply competent to fill it, giving it his
entire attention. He is a young man
highly esteemed by those who know him.
John Pyle turned over the ofiice Of Dis
trict Attorney to S. v. Christ. The PRESS
may truthfully say no county officer ever
Mr.. Pyle. He is Young, capable. pos
sesses moral character and is making q
mark as an attorney. Further along in
the history of Hand County and Dakots
Mr.. Pyle will be frequently heard from.
His successor, Mr.. Christ, will take the
office bearing the reputation of being one
OF the best att ,rneys in Hand county.
His home has heretofore been at Rec
Heights and the people Of the west side
are his solid friends and give him their
hearty endorsement He is however well
aud favorably known to most of Hand
County people and has repeatedly been
sent to represent the county in territor.
ial conventions. As district attorney
Christ is all right.
The Board of county commissioners re-
mains as il was with the exception of
chairman j. A. Woolhiser of the lst dis
trict. His successor W. H. Elder is a
very agreeable gentleman to meet and al
though not SO well known as others. we
would infer from the solid way his neigh
bors turned out to elect HIM, that he cer-
tainiy is thought we'll of by them and We
have often said that when mans neigh.
bors endorse him ne need not look for
any better. Mr.. Woolhiser has made an
excellent commissioner and it is that,
which has, no donbt. called him to fill a
chair IN tho territorial council at Bismarck.

County Treasurer Howell is now well
enough known to the citizens If the
county so that an Introduction wonld be
superfluous. He enters on his second
term. retaining his former deputy, Ed
Egbert. When the Major entered on his
term he found the County some $4,000

another term with the county free Of debt.
The work Of the county treasurer and
his excellent deputy shows for itself, We

REAL ESTATE.

There Is one very common saying among
the real estate meu Of this community,
and many precedents 60 to show they
know whet they are talking about. They
say the prices OF Hand county Ian are too
low. Every man nearly talks sell, because
be imagines be can get more land easily.
The moment Hand county people begin to
think their land is more valuable and add
to its price, that moment will be the be-
gining of a demand. Such, at least is the
history OF all western states Iowa and
Nebraska land wasn't sought for much
until the people found out the land would
produce and raised the values.
The price OF lands should be regulated
by its productive qualities, and distance
from purchasing aud selling markets. at
least this should be considered the oase
of all land values. II this truth be recog-
nized. why should Dakota land be so
much cheaper than that of surrounding
states. How much more will the tarms Of
Iowa, Nebraska ard Minnesota produce
than those Of Hand county? None. OF
course, as has been proved by all official
reports and actual experience Of many peo.
pie now living here. And how much near
er to market, or how much better fscili-
ties for TRANSPORTATION do the people of
these states enjoy than wei Some. oer-
tainIy. because they have few more rail-
Y
roads. Therein lies the difference in the
relative values OF Hand county farms and
those Of above mentioned states to begin
with. This difference is very small. II
could be estimated by figunng the differ
ence il costs to transport graf from Da-
kota to market, and bring back what We
need, and figuring the same from these
states. AT any rate II certainly could moi
make one dollar difference to each acre
onr advantages are the same in almos'
every respect, aud about the only thing

in favor Of the farms in the states is the
better cultivation, obtained by few more
years of settlement. The literal advan-
tages OF Iowa. Nebraska and Minnesota
farms over those Of Dakota are nothing
like what would be inferred from the diff
ference in the price Of the land. Hence
those who have given the question some
study, believe the price of our lands
should more nearly approximate the price
OF lands in neighboring states, and that
Hand county land will sell more readily

valuation Of his farm.

A POINT FOR CONSIDERATION

Northwestern Agriculturalist. - People
who think of leaving Dakota and Minne-
spta for the Hsw states where irrigation is
necessary for fruit or crop growing,
should bear in mind that irrigation and
malaria go together. The wells Of nri-
gated regions soon become filed with
surface water which soaks through the
soil after leaving the irrigating bitches
and malana Is the result. Chill from the
north wind is not agreeable, but il is
preferable to q chill from malaria.

Now ChamborlaiU comes out with an
anthracite coal find, followed closely by
Centerville with a find of an eight foot
vein Of soft coal. II ever a chestnut was
clothed in rags and saiiere,l i is this matter
of finding coal in Dakota east of the river.
The best geologists say there is no coal in
this part of Dakota and the artesian wells
all attest TO their credit Let up on the
ceal-find racket. 1t dIsgusts vastly more
than it enthuses.
