THE ALLIANCE IN THE FAR
WEST.

The Dakota Farmers Alliance Com
pany opened their business office In
Aberdeen, D. T., January lst, 1888.
This company does business as is pro
posed by our State Agent through
County and b-Alliance Business
Agents. 1t started out with all the
odds against it, but it vas sustained
by the Alliances of the Territory.
That o may get some idea of what
may be accomplished in our own State
by a liberal endorsement of u
agency, we quote from the Dakota
RWrahst:
"The following sales made during
the season may be of interest:
Barb wire, about eleven a loads;
harrows, four car loads; corn cultiva-
tors, five car loads; plows-spring
season, about three car loads; seeders
and drills, nearly seven car loads; hay
rakes, three car loads; moving ma
chimes, one hundred and seventy-three
farm wagons six car loads; buggies,
about two hundred; harness, about
seventy sets; machine oil, seven hun
dred barrels. The company have con-
tracted for, and are now having made,
"a farm wagon expressly for them,
which will be known as the alliance"
and will be fully warranted, guaran-
teed to be as good as any wagon in the
market. They have a fve-years' con-
tract for the entire Territory for the
Wier Plow Company's goods. These
plows stand pre-eminently at the head.
They have no competitors. 1t is the
aim of the company to handle only
the very best goods made. Their
recent coal contract is the largest by
far ever made in Dakota"
The contract was for 1000 car
loads, $4,000 tons, which it is esti-
mated to be about half the quantity of
coal they will handle during the
season.
"It,must be remembered that man
ufacturers had made contracts with
local dealers to handle their goods this
season before the Alliance Company
were in condition to make contracts,
and consequently much difficulty was
experienced in finding some lines of
goods to handle; but taken altogether
the business has been very satisfac-
tory. The stumbling blocks have been
rolled aside and the Dakota Farmers
Alliance Company is now an assured
C It is difficult to determine
Just how much has been saved to the
farmer in the deals so far made, but
it is safe to estimate a saving on an
average of Is per cent. from the
prices which farmers would have been
compelled to pay had it not been for
the organization of this company"

THE GREAT TWINE DEAL.

"The Dakota Farmers Alliance
Co.'s Irvine deal was by far the largest
deal of the kind aver made by n
company. You may figure it any way
you please to suit yourselves, but you
cannot gainsay the fact that the same
twine was sold in Dakota at 4 cents
per pound less than in Illinois and at
least that much lower than dealers
started out to sell at in Dakota. Early
in the season dealers were the friends
OF the farmer, as they warned them
continually that the Alliance Company
could get nc Irvine, manufacturers had
refused to sell, they had no credit, etc.,
but, nevertheless, every order taken
was filled and they managed to handle
one twelfth of the total output of
American mills. For fear the espe-
cial friends of the farmer might not
credit our statements on the Irvine, we
publish below the name of purchasing
agent and railroad station, together
with the amount of Irvine shipped to
each. 1t is a table well worthy of ex-
animation"
The itemized statement, which we
leave out, shows that rs a loads,
amounting to l,525,565 pounds were
shipped to 40 county business agents,
and distributed by them to the farm
ers through the Sub-Alliance agents.
Thus a saving of $6l ,O22.6 go was
effected on the Irvine alone with which
u seasons wheat was bundled by the
self-binding reape1s in Dakota.

Latest Estimates Place the Number at

ready accounted for. Add to this list OF
people accounted for those who left imme-
diately after the flood. those who have left
since without registering-the register OF
the saved was not opened until several days
after the llood--and 1t brings the estimate
down considerably. There are any num-
Der OF survivors in the district swept by

the guards at the bridge kept good many
from registering who wished TO. number
were not allowed 10 pass because they did
not have passes. In view OF these facts
and figures it does not seem a. though the
loss could be more than 500. and the most
conservative people still stick 10 5000 as
the figures. Only about 25JD bodies have
been recovered so far, and this leaves 2.jOO
still unaccounted for. II Is difficult To be-
lieve tina: more than that number could be-

The Enormity OF the Disaster becoming
More and More Apparent - Burying the
Dead - The Country Responding to the
Appeal for Aid.
A Johnstown sIecial of Thursday says:
The gray mists had scarcely arisen from tho
hills this morning until thousand funerals
were coursing their green sides. There
were no hearses, few mourners, and as
little solemnity rs formality The ma ior-
ity of the cotiins were of rough pise. The
hearses were strong farmers teams, and
instead of six pail bearers to one coffin
there were generally six collins to one
team. Silently the professions moved and
silently they unloaded their burdens i'm the
lap of Mother Earth. No minister was there
To pronounce last blessing as the clods
ratified down. A fact that has been here
tofore overlooked in the awful strain is
the soiled condition Of the corpses. Fully
one third of those recovered have been SO
mangled, bruised or charred that identifi-
cation was impossible. In an ordinary
flood this would not have been tho case,
but here human bodies were the filing in
of a mountain-like mass of ouses rail
road tracks, trains, and other debris which
went crunching and crashing through a
valley three miles long How any of life
clay retained form or semblance is enig-
NAUTICAL.
All day long the corpses were being
buried below ground. The unidentified
bodies were grouped on high hill west of
the doomed city, where one epitaph must
do for all, and that the word unknown. "
There are hundreds of these graves al
ready, and each day will increase the pro-
portion. The possibility of identification
diminishes every hour. Fires are raging
over the tangled graves of hundreds and
the partial cremation of many bodies is
inevitable. Others are becoming so black
