their love feast meetings and put

that the people shall have the con-
troll Of their AFFAIRS; that they will
keep their Glands off," that they
have no personal interest whatever
further than to see the party united
and ''peace and harmony" prevail.
No county or city in the State has
been subjected more to bossism or

it has divided the party into fac

differences in the factions a call was
issued for q public meeting at the

DAKOTA NOT BANKRUPT
The Empire Territory May BE
Gut Of Cash, but She Is
Financially SOund.
The Shortage Caused by Appropria-
lions for Necessary and Per-
manent improvements.
Entire Debt Of the Territory Could Be
Paid by a Tax Of Only One Mill
for One Year.

The report Of Auditor Ward shows
that during the past two years the terri
tory paid out s125. 600 more than it took
in. This shortage was caused mainly by
the very liberal appropriations for the
different institutions of the territory.
For permanent improvements and main
tenance for the last biennial period over
81, 1OO,O 900 was expended, and this was
a greater drain than the maximum terri
torial tax would allow. In the rush of
bills two years ago neither the members
of the legislature nor the governor real
lied tae total aggregate or so large a sum
would not have been appropriated. But
for all that a deficit exists Dakota is far
from bankrupt. A tax of / mill on the
assessed valuation would more than
make good the estimated shortage of
1889, and this is a tax which no one
would feel. The debt of the territory is
but little Gver 81, 900, 600, all invested in
public buildings. The assessed valuation
is $161 ,0O0, 900, and to speak of the COM
monwealth as bankrupt because it sud-
denly developed that the cash box was
empty is speaking rather loosely. If the
tax were authorized the entire debt of
the territory, aside from the running ex-
penses, could be provided for in q single
year and no one would realize what had
been done. So far from being a bank
rupt, Dakota is on the high road to pros
perity. Her people bravely bear the
burdens of a new country, and they
would willingly carry a still greater load
if necessity required it.

DAKOTA AS A STOCK COUNTRY.

All Glasses of Domestic Animals Thrive
Within Our Borders.
North Dakota has nothing to fear in
the matter OF stock raising with any Sec
ton of the country. The colder climates
have not only developed the most sturdy,
energetic and brainy races of men, but
the finest breed of domestic animals.
Horses, cattle, sheep and hogs do not
thrive in the Southern states, and the
Northwest need have no fear of rivalry
in that direction. Every condition in
North Dakota favors the conversion of
the products of field and pasture into
the finest beef, mutton and pork, into
symmetrical and enduring horsefesh,
into wool, and into that most useful of
domestic animals, the mich COW. The
value Of the cow in the domestic and
commercial interests of the country is
~incalculable. The use of milk in the
household and in the manufacture of but
ter and cheese and condensed milk runs
into hundreds Of millions of dollars an
nually, not to speak of the fresh and
cured meats, hides, etc. The impor-
lance of the dairy in making additions
to the family exchequcr is forcing itself
upon the people in all parts of Dakota,
and the early future will see the great
territory a center of butter and cheese
making as it already is in the making of
No. I hard wheat. The science of feed
ing and shelter is advancing; the farmer
and breeder is learning more and more
OF the mysterious process of changing
grasses and grain into more meat and
milk and less bone and muscle. Intelli-
gent feeding and care in the mating of
fine animals is now too apparent to adj
NIT of discussion.

OUTLOOK,

1t is predicted that little railroad build.
Ing will take place in Dakota during the
coming season. There are no important
connections to make and strategic points
to protect, and almost by mutual con-
sent the companies are lying idle. Still,
should the Sioux reservation finally open,
there will be building in that direction,
If in no other. There is some authority
also for the belief that at least one of the
companies which are now halting at
Sioux Falls will strike out for the cen
trail part of the territory. Should one
do it others will follow and some build
ing would be done, Notwithstanding the
present doubtful outlook.

NOTE AND

The commissioners of Beadle county
have appropriated $4,000 to be used to
pay for the printing and circulation of
pamphlets advertising the of
that county. Like all other counties
Beadle has thousands of acres of unim-
proved lands and the money would be
well invested if only a score of good
farmers were thereby induced to 20 to
that county. The example might well
be proftably followed throughout the
territory.
The territorial papers, with one single
exception, approve Of Mr.. Springer's
omnibus bill. They all want further
concessions if these can be secured, but
they want the bill because it contains a
definite proposition. 1t assures state
hood to South Dakota about Dec. l, and
for North Dakota during the winter.

The past week has recorded the mar
riage of three newspaper men. George G..
Jones, Of the Watertown Journal Demo-
crat; w. II. D. Bliss, junior partner of
the Sioux Falls Press, and w. G. Nesbit,
of the Dell Rapids Times, are the happy
benedicts. They will receive congratu-
lations along the line.
~
w. A. Webster, Canadian agent at
Devils Lake, is sending out narrowing
accounts of suffering among settlers in
that section. Recent stories of destitu-
ton have been investigated and proved
to be unfounded.

Hon. P. F. McClure's article in Har-
per's Monthly will do a great deal to call
further attention to Dakota. 1t is a well
written paper and reflects credit upon
it's author.
Dakota led all the country last year in
the number of acres-2, 669, 718-pat-
ented. Minnesota took second place in
the Northwest, with Se8, 019 acres.

Col. NJ. w. Sheafe,o of the Second Regi-

near future.
A number Of newspaper men have
gone to Bismarck to hold down the legis-

report a ive-foot vein of coal at a depth
Of sixty-four feet. Work on a shaft nine

members, A. F. Sinkler, of Fertile town
ship, told Of some experiments with try
ing to freeze out young wheat. He had
grown some IN a box until it was four
or five inches high, then put it out in q
severe frost until it was frozen to the
earth. He then took it in, when it grew
up again. He exposed it again to the
frost with the same result, and it is now
growing again all right.-Grafton News

To KEEP MILK SWEET. Boil the
pitcher or can in which the milk is to
be put for ten minutes, take it from
the boiling water, and without wiping
it pour into it the milk. Then set the
pitcher back in the boiling water. Re-
move and cover the pitcher with a
layer OF absorbent cotton and boil for
FIVE minutes. The boiling water de-
stroys the germs on the sides of the
pitcher, and the absorbent cotton keeps
other germs from settling in the milk
and causing fermentation. Pour out
milk as 1t is needed, disturbing as lit
tie as possible the cotton covering.
Milk for invalids and babies can thus
be kept sweet for many hours.
