people Of Dakota, especially OF North
Dakota, are great travellers. When the
crops are poor, ard times dull, they
travel jast as much as they did when
the boom was on and every other man
owned 81, 1,0Q0,o9G worth of real estate.
They have Q way OF getting passes from
the railroads shat can't be connterfeited
in the states. Any man who is an
otlinaholder, from the postmaster up
and every true Dakosan is an office
holderr-can work the railroads for free
transportation. " Somebody said this
would change when the interstate com,
MERGE bill offered the railroads an ex-
euse for refusal, but one ssn find moye
Dakotaians about the hotel Hobbies in
New York, Washington, Ohicago and st.
Paul o-dey than when the annual pass
Was IN fnll bloom. With the exception
of theinauguration, the Dakota ciszens
is leaving what will pTobabiyaba the Last
territorial Legislature to shift for itself
and is moving on Washington. fi.
3t The two men, who are given ths credit
OF being the emartest of Dakota republi
can politicians A W. Edwards of
Fargo, and Alex .nder Mckenzie OF B s.
marck-hsve been in Nsw York for some
time. Both these gentlemen have been
mensioned as possibilities for the Unised
States senate when North Dakota is q
state by itself. The stepping stone to
the senetorship is the gopsrnorshlp, so
il ls sald that Alexander Mekspzie has
arranged with Gen. Harrison to beiap-
poiete5 governor while the territory
lasts. But perhspa Mckenzie and Ed
wards are in the enss on business, and
don't pay aoy attep ton to ,politios any
more. Maj Edwards. who never forgets
TO boom the territory, got himself inter
