INCORPORATED.
The Rio Cheese Factory---A Farmer
Project Fairly Under Way.

Project Fairly Under Way.
Articles If incorporation of the Rio
Cheese company were prepared yester-
day by Mcmillan & Frye, attorneys for
the committee Of farmers who have de-
termined to start a cheese factory in this
county. The committee appointed to
attend to this preliminary work consist
ed OF G. W. Kurtz, 0. Christopherson
and William Sturgis. They met in
jamestown yesterday, and a board of
directors was chosen to complete and
carry out the project, and who signed
the articles of incorporation. This board
consists of the three above named and
James Buchanan, Owe Johnson, Frank
Dowd and J.J.Leisch. Capital stock was
placed at $500. Shares $40. The stock
holders will be assessed for $1,000 to get
the plant started, and enough more to
run On until the prodrct becomes a
source of revenue. The location of the
plant will be at Rio. Over 800 COWS are
promised for the new enterprise. and, III
case it is successful, a number Of farmers
have signifed their intention OF exchang-
ing horses for cows, as the present farm
work, particularly this years, makes hor-
ses and mules rather Improbable to
keep.
A first class cheese maker will be en-
ployed and none but full cream cheese
made. The projectors OF this enterprise
are practical Dakota farmers, and all
are emphatic in stating that no good
reason exists why the business should
not prove profitable. 1t will be source
OF revenue, certain at any event, and a
stimulus to mixed farming, SO much ig-
more by many farmers. -
The next meeting Of the directors will
be held August lst,. and by May next
the plant is expected to be in full run
ming order.

Warming Up at Bismarck.

E. w. Camp and T. B. Fancher went
up to Bismarck this morning to secure
rooms for their stay during the constitu-
tional convention. Andrew Blewett will
90 out tomorrow. There are already
quite number OF delegates on the spot
and the canvass for the presidency is
waxing warm. johnson, Of Lakota, has
opened headquarters at the Sherldan,and
counts on the support OF the Scandina-
vians and large farmer following. A
dispatch from Bismarck says:
The cand liacy of Messrs. Miller and
Fancher promises to land the conven-
ton ina deadlock. Every inch OF ground
is to be stubbornly contested between
this time and the opening Of the session.
Strong forces are at work for each candl-
date. The democrats are going first for
Judge Garland and then for Purcell.
When they have exhausted their energies
on these leading candidates of the mi.
nority, they will divide up their votes
among the republicans and possibly gam
what prestige they can by throwing the
| balance of power to one of the majority
! favorites.
One thing is already certain: The
republicans will organize the convention.
It is easy to detect rapidly increasing
party sentiment, and the struggle which
has now opened, will not be bitter or des-
perate enough to endanger the party's
interests.
There are rumors and indications of a
deal which will greatly fortify Millers
position as candidate for the preslden-
CIV. One of the best known members
stated that unless something unexpect-
ed turned up, Miller could be named as a
winner.
Hon. H. F. Miller is president of the
| Citizens National bank Of Fargo, and a
popular man. He is conceded to be one
of the best presiding officers in the tern,

Returning from Camp Harrison.

Returning from Camp HARRISON.
The members of Company H and the
Bismarck boys with Col. Bentley, came
up from the fourth annual encampment
of the d. N. G. last night. All speak
highly of the treatment received at the
hands of the citizens of Watertown. The
camp was beautifully located on the
banks of Lake Kampeska. three miles
from the city. A motor line runs from
The city to the lake and through the
liberality of the citizens the boys were
permitted to ride free during the en-
campment. They we're delighted with
the beauty of the surroundings but were
not able to get into town as often as they
would have liked. A few were sent to
the guard house for attempting to run
the guards, but those Of the boys who
were ''on'' took along suit of citizens
clothes, which they donned when they
wanted to so to the city and were allow
ed to pass unmolested by the guards.
Gov. Mellette spent several days with
the boys in camp, sleeping on the
grounds. The grand parade occurred
Friday. The Ladies Capital club OF
Watertown provided lemonade for the
thirsty soldiers and pinned a nice boquet
on each, with which was also thrown IN
gratis badge on which was printed
"Watertown for the capital The fair
ones are said to have made many votes
for Watertown in this way.

ENGLISH MONEY.

For Investment in North DakOta---
Richard sykes Project to Raise
Foreign Funds for Farm Loans IN
America.
Richard Sykes, the genial English
capitalist, left for the south Sunday.
He expects to sail on the 10th for Eng
land. He is intending TO make person
al effort to secure English money to or
canize the Alliance Loan Co., OF which
mention has been made in several news
papers. The company expects to issue
stock to the amount Of Sl,oOO,Ooo ana
assess stock holders for 10 per cent to
start business with. Eight per cent
straight will be charged on loans and
no other commissions. A value OF "a
per acre on improved land will be the
average estimate on which the loans will
be made. The headquarters OF the COM
pany will be in jamestown.
MIR. Sykes careful business methods
will undoubtedly make the investments
safe and profitable to his English friends.
HIS reputation for sound financial judg-
ment is too valuable in his own country
to be jeopardized by allowing their
funds to be handled by any but the
most conservative and honest American
management and he stated that every
nrecautlon to insure the safe investment
Of the money and the - prompt payment
of interest would be taken. MIR. Sykes
thinks that the aid Of the alliance can be
obtained to advertise and endorse the
enterprise. and there is little doubt but
what it can. A resident board OF man
apement will consist of such gentlemen
ISL. Il, Casey, William Lloyd and
Others. and loans will have to be passed
upon by them.
Tf MIR. Sykes succeeds IN getting capl-
tal TINS invested in North Dakota, he
will have placed many here under FUR
ther obligations for his active interest IN
the development of the new state. Ii
will take some time to do this. however,
as the English are very conservative, and
do not rush headlong into Amerl
can investments without careful
examination of securities and satlsfac
tory assurances Of steady income from
the Investments. The accommodations o
generations. however. have piled up
money in England and Mr.. Sykes says
the United States is the best field fol
it's investment. He is hopeful OF getting
organized and doing business early mex

DINING CAR BURNED !.
The Dining Car on No. Burneq
Tour Miles West of Eldrtdge. |

Tour Miles West of Eldrtdge. |
About four O'Clock Saturday, when
No. 9. the Northern Pacific east bound
limited passenger train, was about -four
miles west of Eldridge, Conductor
Wheeler discovered that the dining Car
was on fire. The air brakes were applied
the train stopped, and the tram men
soon engaged in a battle with tho flames
A number of hand grenades we're thrown
into the flames, but without extlngu1sh'
ing them. The train was pulled up TO a
pond of water and an attempt made to
save the car, but it was unavailing. The
diner was entirely consumed. A quantl-
ty OF linen and some cushions were
saved, but most of tina valuable contents
we're lost. The dining car conductor
claims to have lost about $500 in the fire
The fire caught in some unaccountable
way in the closet in the forward end OF
the car near the kitchen.
The Pullman sleeper caught fire from
the diner, but the flames we're extln-
guished and about the only damage to 1t
was the scorchlng of the end. AS soon
as the fire was first discovered by Con-
ductor Wheeler, the front part OF the
tram was uncoupled from the diner, but
not without much troutle. The bumpers
and the iron frame which joins the vesti-
buled cars, had become thoroughly
heated and stuck together with unwon-
ted tiyhtaess. This is the first expert
ence which the Northern Pacific has had
with fire on one of it's vestibuled trains.
and the refusal to uncouple may present
another problem for the solution OF rail-
road managers.
The heat of tho burning diner warped
the rails and tore up the track for the
length of four or five rails and the sleeper
was separated from the rest Of the train.
No. which came through in two sections
was held here short time and then sent
on to Eldridge where No. 2, minus the
diner and sleeper, passed it and came on
to Jamestown. II was held here several
hours awaiting the clearing OF the debris
and repairing OF the TRACK until the
sleeper could be drawn in and attached
The wrecking train went out about
five O'Clock and the boys are working &c
get the track in shape again.
The passengers took the accident gooo
naturedly and bore up under the result
ant inconveniences philosophicallv. one
man said he, had 'kick coming because
he did not get his breakfast. Anothel
thought the accident unfortunate in thai
il threw the passengers intoa dry town
and facetiDusly remarked that Eldrldge
looked like s'section of Iowa transplant
ed in Dakota.

Episcopal Church Progress.

It is well to hear that the affairs OF
the Episcopal church in North Dakota
are prospering under the careful and
conscientious care of Bishop Walker At
the annual convocation held In Fargo
last week, the bishop reported strong
interest taken in the churches OF bis
jurisdiction. The work among the Tur-
tie Mountain Indians was reported as
showing evidence of progress, but in SO
large and important a field, the need
for more clergymen and better support
was naturally apparent. Three churches
had freed themselves from debt during
the past year, and new clergy had
been established at Pembina and Devils
Lake. The bishop in his address con
denlned the practice of raising money fol
church purposes by advertising and con
Quoting raffles, plays, dances and othe
secular attractions.

On motion council adjourned.
A Veto That is Worth 81 500.

It is seldom that city council meet
ing in jamestown does not present some
surprise. Last nights meeting was
no exception to what has almost proven
a rule here. The adoption OF Alder
man Alleys resolution permitting saloon
mon to take out license from July lst, to
Jan. 5lst, next, for 500 andits subsequent
yetoby Mayor Fuller made up the SIR
p1ises.
The advocates of the resolution in
question claimed that the intention Of
ordinance No. SO was not only to make
saloon license in the future, $500 per an
mum. but that it was retroactive i'll its
intention and applied also to this year.
The resolution declared that the council
SO construed the ordinance and instructed
the city clerk to issue license from July
1st, to Jan. l, 1890 for 500 to those saloon
men, who, on Jan. l, 1889 paid S4Oo for a
six months license, thus making the
license for those who have been IN the
business all the year $500.
Mayor Fuller did not believe 1t was
right or legal and said SO in his second
veto message. His veto was unexpected
to many of the aldermen and especially
to Alderman Hewitt, who, carried away
by his enthusiasm for what he character
ized the mayors honorable stand and
pralseworthy display of nerve, declared
that the message ought to be framed and
hung in the council rooms and that be
would pay for the frame.
The action of the mayor while 1t is
source OF considerable disappointment
to the liquor men and may thwart the
real intention OF the ordinances. IS a prac-
! ticai confirmation of The Alert's pre-.
diction that Mayor Fuller would look
well to the city's interests. There were
ten applications for license on hand last
might. Had they been granted at 500
each the city would have received sl,01O
license monev. II Mayor Fuller's veto
results in forcing them to put up s25t
each he will have practically made 81 ,5O(
for the city. :
Whatever may be said as to the pro-
priety of the resolution or the inability
of the liquor men to pay the $3.50 license
it cannot but be admitted that from the
standpoint of the taxpayer the veto was
good one and will meet with genera
commentator.

A Good Farm Showing.

George Spacgler dropped into The
Alert office yesterday to advertise an es-
tray horse, and in the course of conver-
sation, it was developed that Mr. Spang-
ler is one of the farmers OF Stutsman
county who is not terrified by the pros
pect of light wheat crop. he came to
Dakota in 1880, without any ready money,
but with some old farming machinery
he brought from the east. His only capi-
tai was invested in three teams. and with
those he began farming on land he took
ND, raising wheat for tue first few sea
sons He has made success of farming
but not of wheat raising, for he soon saw
that no one could succeed in that as a
specially, any more than merchant
could who kept nothing but pants in a
clothing store. So he began to gather
stock around him, a little at time, and
instead Of going deeply in debt for ma
chinery and new patent inventions, he
raised less wheat and took more care to
increase the stock around him. He has
built house costing $500, a barn worth
s4OO, and has now three quarter sections OF
rich land. He also has seventy-6ve head
! of cattle, fifteen head Of horses and
mules. twenty of sheep, besides pigs,
poultry, etc.
Eis indebtedness for all this property
can be paid any time, and Mr.. Spangler
| will still find himself pretty we'll off. All
of this property has been accumulated
by ordinary care or taken from the raw
prairie OF nine years ago. Where else IN
/ the country can a poor man make the
showing for increase of farm wealth, like
/ in North Dakota9 The eastern farmer
/ who tries it, fails in nine times out o
ten.

SHEEP ARE THE THING.
Steady Success of Stutsman County
Farmers at Raising Sheep."A
Sure Thing.

Steady Success of Stutsman County
Farmers at Raising Sheep."A
Sure Thing.
Every Stytsman county farmer who
has tried raising sheep has made great
success out o. the venture. A few days
ago The Alert gave an account OF the
satisfactory result of E. F. Horns sheep
raising experiments. His flock OF 60O
have wintered in fine condition near
Corinne. The lamb increase has been
excellent and the wool crop a good aver
age.
Another farmer of the county, w. p.
Lampson, near Windsor, has just finished
shearing and disposing of the wool from
his band of sheep, some 400 in number.
He received an average of II cents a
pound for his wool and the crop was
satisfactory in weight. The sheep came
through the winter all right with no
other care than the ordinary shelter.
The lamb increase also was satisfactory.
Mr.. Lampson says sheep raising is the
best thing to go into in this country as
the farmer is nearly sure of his profit
and, vet or dry, the weather don't keep
him on the anxious seat all The time. HE
is strong advocate Of general stock
raising, but particularly Of sheep growing.
Another large stockman. Mr.. Jandell,
who has big horse ranch in the hills
west Of jamestown has seen the profit to
be made in the sheep business, and last
week brought in from the west over
$500 head which he unloaded at Dawson
and drove to his range in the northwest
ern part of this county.
