Every Bismarcker who visits the east,
returns with words of cheer and assurance
for the capital city. Among those to visit
Chicago of late is o. H. Holt, the insurance
rustler. He says that every man in the
Garden City with whom he conversed
spoks in the most fattering terms of Bis
marck and all predict that this will be the
most prosperous and important of the
young and growing cities of the new north
west. Major G. E. Bliven, one of Chicago's
representative citizens, informed Mr.. Holt
that years ago he predicted that certain
towns in the west and northwest would
become great and prosperous cities.
Among these were Omaha, Kansas City,
Sioux City, Sioux, Falls and Bismarck. He
said lie placed Bismarck at the head of
the list and still believes that the time will
come, in the near future, when she will
Outstrip all of them in commercial I'M
portance and population. Major Blevin is
not theorst. nOr is he visionary. His
sentiments are those of every far.seeing
man who has studied the situation and
Bismarckers have every reason to look
cheerfully to the future.

A Stormy Session.

There have been some lively scenes in
The capitol; the legislature has favored the
sovereigns of the gallery with numerous
lively tilts and the constitutional conven-
tion was not slow-but the Bismarck school
board has been eclipslng legislative at
tempts at artistic antagonism and cy-
clonic debate. The board is discussing the
question of selecting principal for the
schools. -Four favor Prof. Goodykoontz
and four oppose. Night after night do they
meet. but no change is effected and with
deadlock on everything but their vocal
organs, struggle with an apparently un-
sOlvable problem.
Motions are made and defeated by the
tie. The aggressOr is always the loser.
No matter which side makes the motion, it
it defeated,a itrequires majority to carry
and the tie remains unbroken. After the
defeat OF a motion thunder-clouds gather
over the countenances of the defeated.
The victorious wear "well-what-are. YOU
going-tO. .do-about-it" smile, and IN the midst
Of the storm that follows the board ad-
jOurns or another motion is sent on it's Jour
ney to defeat.
One member proposes to leave the aues-
ton to a committee of citizens; another
proposes that the entire board resign; an
other objects to both propositions. but out
OF all the discussion and wranglng the
lmpenetrable deadlock comes up smiling
and unimpaired.
1t is merry war, indeed. An "educa-
tlona] campaign"

Mckenzie in the Harness.

Some knowledge OF the excitement pre-
vailing in Fargo prior to the meeting of
the convention, may be Cleaned from the
following, which the Argus says OF Nc
Kenzie's arrival, and by reading between
the lines and adding later reports,the STRAIT
egy of the true general is noticeable:
But during all this time the friends of
General Allen were not idle. They did not
talk much, but they kept on saving wood
al the same. Alex Mckenzie had reached
Fargo by the morning train from Bismarck.
II iva was known that he was pronounced for
Allen. He was ably seconded in every
thing he did by John E. Haggart. Probably
never stronger team pulled together for
candidates nomination. When McKen-
zle arrived he quickly surveyed the ground
and as quickly grasped the situation. If
the Cass county delegation is solid for
General Allen, he declared, there was no
possibility of the opposition defeating his
currency that the Cass county delegates
were not a unit for the general. Mr..
Mckenzie was quickly reassured on this
point, and then he went to work. What
he did-what Haggart did each one knows
pro badly they both do, but it is safe to
say that no other soul in Fargo this morn
ing possesses the knowledge. Their as.

Tlght gave confidence to all OF General AL
lens frlends-were reinsurance necessary.
"Ihe C&Bs county delegates will stand
solid as stone wall for the candidate for
whom they were instructcd," said Hag-
gart. This was sufficient. They all pre-
served the same quiet, confident serenity
That all day marked the mien of the gem
eral himself-they simply listened-they
thought it unnecessary to say anything
they let the other fellows do the talking.
In the evening meeting was held in the
opera house, at which ninety-six votes
were pledged for John Miller.
TAFFY FOR PARSONS AND LUCK.
The Argus says: One of the shrewdest
men of the Morton county delegation is j.
j. Luck-the Teutonic statesman from the
west end Of the county. The work of
booming Luck for insurance commissioner
may not be successful in getting him there,
but he would be an element Of strength to
the ticket. There is large German ele-
ment that should be given candidate, and
Luck would be the man. The nominal
leader of the Morton county delegation is
). 5. Green, a ranchman who is taking his
hand in politics for the first time. One Of the
Westerners says: Lyon is not delegate,
he having given his irrevocable proxy 10
Parsons-the energetic, big-souled, strong
lunged member of the constitutional con-
ventiOn. Lyon gave his proxy to Parsons
to oblige McCabe. Luck and Coe are the
actual leaders of the western slope delega-
ton, and Of course, Tuttle of the Mandan
Pioneer is along. lending hand. The
delegates say that if they were not tied up
with the impossible candidature Of Lyon,
they would 20 for Luck, and get him there
as insurance commissioner.

Improving the Missouri.

The members of the Missouri river com
mission have submitted to the chief of Ell
gineers their annual report upon the i'm
provement of that river. The report, after
reciting how the appropriation of 1000,
600 had been allotted, says that as most o1
the work was new, careful surveys and eX.
tensive repairs to the plan were needed
first, which, together with the low water
delayed the beginning of the work. Two
surveying parties had covered 800 miles
up to June 80, and hoped to cover the en-
tire distance of 1920 miles this season

river. Above Sioux City the project con
templates low water depth of four and a

been attained, facilitating navigation be.
tween Fort Benton and Fort Carroll, LOO
miles. Operations will be confined to the
river between Fort Benton and the Goa
banks, and will be completed this season.
Below Fort Benton permanent work can
not be undertaken until the survey is COM
pleted.
The estimate cOntemplateS the eXpendi-
ture next year on the river below Sioux
City of $1,OOO,O00, and on the upper river
$4,000. The sum estimated for the upper
river is insufficient. Never during all the
development of the vast upper Missouri
valley, has the government paid sufficient
attention or attached due importance to the
stream. Now that North Dakota and Mon
tana are to have their say in congress, it
is hoped that reasonably generous apprO-
priatiOns may be secured for the Missouri
river between Sioux City and Fort Benton.
After giving in detail the work done
and estimates of appropriations required
at the different points along the river, the
commission touched upon the action of
congress in the act of 1888, practically re-
jecting its plan OF Improvement. 1t states
that the primary object of the appropria-
tions was understood to be the desire to
benefit navigation and not to protect pri-
vate or municipal property from the
ravages of the river. although if the latter
could be done incidentally, then so
much the better; The systematic
the holding Of the river fasr in liked a fixed
channel, and thus, when completed, pro-
tecting adjacent property. But this i'm
provement requires many millions OF
money and many years Of time. Property
owners are not content to wait and clamor
for protection, and it is impossible to meet
all their demands without scattering funds
so as to make them everywhere inadequate.
uOus improvement, and funds spent in per-
fecting certain points cannot be considered
as applied to the benefit of navigation. An
indefinite number Of millions of dollars
could be expended in that way without ap-
preciable benefit to navigation. and its
object cannot possibly succeed if carried
on under terms OF the act of August 1,18s8.
