January LIST. 1889.
En-. Journal: Another year of dis |
political and otherwise
is in the past; and while many por-
tions of our nation has suffered from |
storm and food, North Dakota has
been wondrously exempt from storms
of any kind. Lack of rain is the only
thing that we can complain of. Dur
ing the last five months we have had
only four inches of rain. The ground
is dusty for six feet below the surface
If there should be no rain or snow to
wet the ground before the growing
season it is feared that the grass and
young trees will suffer.
The few days of extreme heat in
July was too much for our wheat and
oats. While the yield per acre has
been about 10 to 90 bushels the grain
is lighter than usual, so that there is
but little wheat that will test So lbs
The advanced price from that of 81
has helped to make up the defect.
The Territory has made many mate
rial improvements In the way of
buildings in general, improved stock,
creameries, etc. Towns on the new
lines of railroad have grown as by
magic. While the older cities have
made many Improvements in the way

their growth has not been so marked
as in years past.
This county (Richland), particularly
the southern part. has made great
progress during the past year. The
city of Wahpeton has barely held its
own in population. This may be ac-
counted for from two causes: LIST,
much OF the trade that formerly went
to WahpetOn is now done at the sew
eral stations on the two new lines of
railroad; ID, quite a number of the
business men caught the western fever
and have gone towards the setting
sun. But the city has been lighted
by electric lights, has quite an extern
sive creamery, telephone plant, and
has extended her water mains and put
in partial sewerage during the past
year.
The weather has been remarkably
mild this winter so far, and no snow
to speak of. A light fall of snow
Nov. 18th, and on the 18th and oath
of December-in all about inches of
dry snow. The roads are dusty, and
the ground is frozen about inches
deep. The temperature swings about
the freezing point-has not been be-
Low aro III winter. Further west it

River valley. 1t has not indicated

We notice recent meeting OF Co.
Superintendent at Eau Claire for the
purpose of instruction under the State
Superintendent, and among them was
Supt. Brewer of Pierce. These meet
ing are of great value to common
schools as under law they afford means
for making the County Superlntend
ents' inspection, examination, ETC.,
uniform and thorough. We notice
the names of six ladies, of those in
attendance at Eau Claire, and we con.
slider a fuller representation of women
in these offices significant of women's
present and coming influence in line
in which her instincts and training fit
her peculiarly. When it IS remem-
bered that there are ninety female
teachers to one male in Wisconsin, and
that the adaptation of women to the
needs of children whose tender ages
constitute the mass of pupils in coun-
try schools, there can be no mistake in
recognizing women in the office whose
functions influence those schools be-
yond all other means.

The proposition from an experienced
manufacturer has been made to our
farmers to build Starch Factory in
this city and operate it during this
season and hereafter conditioned upon
a guarantee that 900 acres of pota-
toes shall be contracted for delivery.
The community has till Friday, lst of
Feb. only to accept the proposition,
and we are sure that the limited time
is the only reason there can be for our
farmers to allow so important an es-
tablishment to seek another locality.
A starch factory requires an invest
ment of about $4,000 by the manu-
faeturer; requires him to convert
I25, 900 bushels of potatoes, using the
labor of about Is men; and requires
him to market his product and to take
all risks of business widely scattered
and ordinarily precarious.
The community can secure this
mandatory as against other locali-
ties by affording bonus of about
$500 cash, and the planting of 1000
acres to potatoes, whereupon guar
antee will be given to buy an average
per acre of Us bushels of potatoes, at
a fixed price of Is cents per bushel
the first year, and of 20 cents per
bushel thereafter, with the further
assurance that if potatoes shall be
held in the general market at much
higher prices than herein specified
the starch manufacturer will vary his
purchase price accordingly.
With the languishing condition of
all business universally felt, and with
tender of SO valuable an acquisition
as this that enables farmers to change
to an industry requiring neither extra
ordinary skill nor expensive maeEin.
cry, nor any other extra outlay of
time or capital. it seems that our
farmers and citizens should close the
compact at once.
The manufacturer will afford all
needed information as to best varie
ties of potatoes for starch and other
needed cautions in raising and hand
ling them il the factory comes to u.s.
he has been here and has made IA
vorable impression upon those who
met him. Information as to the pre-
liminaries now pending may be had
from our merchants or at this office.

more and more attention from many
classes in the North-the capitalist,

the farmer or gardener who is looking
for milder climate, and an escape
from the long and severe winters of
his present abode. Birmingham, Ala.

spicuous examples of new manufact-

The transition from long, lingering
and painful sickness to robust health
marks an epoch in the life of the indi.
vidual Such a remarkable event is
treasured in the memory and the agen-
ey whereby the good health has been
attained is gratefully blessed. Hence
il is that so much is heard in praise OF
Electric Bitters. So many feel they
owe their restoration to health to the
use of the Great Alternative and Tonic,
If you are troubled with any disease
of the kidneys, liver or stomach, OF
long or short standing. you will surely
end relief by use of Electric Bitters.
