SPECIAL to the Globe.
GRAND FORKS, n. D., March S.-The
bright summer days of the early part of
the week were followed On Thursday
with an overcast sky and cool March
winds. The thermometer, however.
kept within a springy range and al
lowed the seeding to go on, as it has
been doing since March 2. Very few
farmers hesitate about putting in their
seed at this early date. as they all seem
to think there will be no more real hard
weather.
There Is the biggest prospect in the
world for boom for Grand Forks dur
ing this summer, as the evidence is al
ready apparent from the number of
strangers that are in the city looking up
locations. The first actual benefit from
the statehood blessing was observed ON
Monday, when seven car loads of emf
grants passed through the city, bound
for counties north and-west. They were
principally from EaStern-Centra states.
but some were from the New England
states. A good. hearty class of people
they were, and are the advance guard
of the influx which will follow.
The SHOW has all disappeared and the
roads are being dried up very fast by
the soft winds of the prairie.
The coming summer promises to be a
good year for manufacturers
OF BICYCLES,
as the club which was formed last year
was revived this week. and several of
the members gave their wheels whirl
upon the sidewalks in the outskirts of
the city.
House hunting has become The order
of the day, and the outlook points to
the building of hundreds of dwellings
this summer to accommodate the fast
increasing population of the city.
Inauguration day was very quietly
observed here, butt everyo was
anXiously looking for news and praying
that everything would pass off without
accident. Never has any publication

TO FIRE CHURCH
BY Telegraph Was the Absurd
Blunder Of the Legislature.

As an example of simple ignorance,
and in this is found its only interest, no
more perfect specimen can be found
than the action of those legislators who
wired President Harrison on the 4th
instant pleading piteously to have Gov.
Church removed by telegraph, with
out moments delay, too. They
regarded with such abject fear
the executives little veto that
their grey matter apparently became
paralyzed lad couldn't recognize the
fact, so plain to every one else, that
an officer can no more be removed by
telegraph than could judge issue a
mandamus over the wire. He must be

ment, to which is affixed the presidents

Maj. Dollard, one of the most self-pos-
SeSSed man in the body, arose as soon as
the clerk had read the document and
moved that it be accepted. Some other
member, who perhaps had not listened
attentiveiy to the reading. suggested
that it was not entirely feasible to drop
all the important work to be finished
during the remaining busy days of the
session in order to take this pleasure
trip, and moved as a substitute that the
legislatures regrets be sent in lieu of

city. and her chances for building up
prosperous community would be that
much greater. Mitcnell has in the past
unquesticnably felt some jealousy
against Sioux Falls, but since the re-
location of the Methodist university at
that place a kindlier feeling obtains.
Her citizens would undoubtedly give
their preference to Sioux Falls rather
than TO Huron: and if the vote of
Dawson county is divided it will go to
Sioux Falls and Pierre.
If we figure correctly, the real fight is
between Sioux Falls. Pierre and Huron.
Aberdeen and Yankton will go to Sioux
Falls. Mitchell will do the same largely,
as Will also Madison. Redfeld is a hot
| candidate, and will try to commit sui
eide by supporting itself. Watertown
| will vote for itself, while Chamberlain
will be likely 10 be an ally of Pierre.
Sioux Falls does not feel that she is
making at all an unreasonable demand
when she comes forward
AS A CANDIDATE.
She is as near the geographical center
as st. Paul in Minnesota, Topeka in
Kansas. Lincoln in Nebraska and Madi-
son in Wisconsin. She is the accessible
center of the new state, for she already
has five lines of railroad in operation
here. By the time the capitol is put up
Int MdiiIbOud NlIl nave gone south. the
Illinois Central northwest and the Rock
Island will have shot toward the Hills.
No other town can then be more easily
reached from all parts of the state than
can Sioux Falls. She has three hotels,
the poorest of which is as good as the
best in any other South Dakota towns.
Her accessibility. her hotel accommOda-
lions, her commercial and business adj
vantages. all point to her as the best
place for the capital of the new state.
X. f. Pettigrew is likely, by the way,
to make himself very unpopular in con-
nection with this capital question. Pet
tigrew is working for two things, a
boom for his Pierre property and the
United States senatorship for himself.
To sc lmplish the first he wants tn e
capital to go to Pierre, and his influence
is being cast to that place. But if he
continues III his work for Pierre, he will
never get TO the senate by the votes of
this part of the territory. If Pettigrew
refuses to work for Sioux Falls in this
crisis his old friends here say they will
bury him as deep as Hannah was
hanged high. Great Indignation is felt
against the SinuoGs Frank. who stated
a few DAYS ago in Washington that
Pierre was to be the capital. MANY
here feel that Pettigrew will stand from
under when the time comes. for he is
shrewd politician, and Il shrewd politi-
clan kncws that he can never afford to
have his local constituency solid against
him. C.. NJ.

SIOUX FALLS, S. D., March s.-Ti.e
Commercial club met few evenings
ago, and by unanimous vote decreed
that Sioux Falls will be candidate for
capital honorS. This club is the recog-
niZed agency through which the city
works for all of its institutions It's
membership is made up of 100 of the
best business men and taxpayers of the
city, and what it says usually goes.
The club appointed committee to
look over the ground and to re-
port on the most feasible line
of work. In connection with the
work for the capital a plan is being
incubated for the organization of two
companies for building two lines of
road, one from here to Yankton and one
to Aberdeen. The Yankton line is to
be virtually an extension of the Mani
toba and the Aberdeen line, an extern
sion of the Illinois Central. 1t is likely
that Yankton will throw what strength
she has to Sioux Fails when she sees
such railroad connection as this about
TO be realized, and it is certain that
Sioux Falls will do all she can for the
extension whether she secures any help
from that county on capital matters or
not. As soon as it becomes
EVIDENT TO ABERDEEN
that she cannot secure enough votes to
locate the capital at that place, she is
sure to throw her strength to Sioux
Falls in preference TO either Huron or
Pierre. The capitol at the former place
would mean the complete ruin of Aber-
deem. and at the latter place it would
be quite as unfortunate to the Hub city.
Sioux Falls, with or without the capitol,
is to be big town unquestionably in
the future. as it is now the metropolis
OF the coming state. 1t is far enough
from Aberdeen so that both may be
good cities without encroaehing on each
others territory. 1t is therefore deemed
certain that Aberdeen. as soon as she
ascertaiRs the impessibiHty of victory
for herself, will desthe next best thing
and cast her magnificent strength to the
Queen City. Mitchell Will undoubtedly
prefer Sioux Falls to Huron. With Huron
as the capital Mitchell would be over

HOW FARMS ARE RENTED

the Fine Chances Offered.

Special 10 the Globe.
JAMESTOWN. N. D.. March S.-Pros-
poets are exceedingly favorable for a
lively spring and summer trade at this
point. An active inquiry is manifested
for farms for rent, both on shares or for
money. and a number of deals have
been closed this week. Tie usual rent
asked appears to be 81 per acre; or,
when the seed is furnished by the own
er, the renter gives half the crop for the
land. In either case the land is to be
left in the same condition Of cultivation
as when it was taken. 1t appears prob
able that every available acre of ground
will be put in crop this spring: large
proportion will be seeded to wheat, al
though considerable areas of barley,
fax and potatoes will be planted.
A proposal which is on foot, and
seems likely to materialize, is to start
factory for making starch from pota-
toes. As the crop is very prolific in
this region, being often sold for Is and
20 cents bushel, it would appear that
there would be good profit for the in
vestors. Prices of real estate have
stitfened considerably since sstatehoGi,
