Mtsaouyt.Slope Coal.

The day IS not far distant, says the Bis.
marck Tribune, when the immense lig.
mite coal deposits of North Dakota will
be thoroughly mined. The coal will find
ready market all over this and adjacent
states, as the new and ingenious device to
be placed in the stoves, giving econ.
omic combustion of fuel, particularly
Ignite coal, places north Dakota Ignite
on an equal if not superior footing with
the best bitumlnous coal ever dug from
the ground. There is enough of it right
here in the Missouri Slope to supply the
Northwest for years and years to come.
There is no limit to it. in fact. 1t is the
only fuel burned by the farmer. Nearly
every farmer has coal underneath his
homestead: ofentimes it stands out in
bold relief on the surface of the ear h. In
some parts of the country whole sections
Of coal land have been burned over by
prairio fires. The juttins points of coal
have been burned to the ground and vast
wastes Of white ashes may be seen. Un.
dsrneath lie the enormous deposits Of
clear Ignite.

JUST at the present time it is the fashion
in some quagters to call for the wholesale
destruction of the Indians. The Pioneer
Press honest and fair in nothing, is ex-
frenzy bloodthirsty. It pauses long enough
in its defense of Jay Goul,;;'s railroad trust
scheme and other monopolies to breathe
destruction to the race. That paper wants
the government to abolish tho reservations
and turn the Indians loose to work or starve
1t wonld have them regulated solely by the
rifle and the bayonet. There are great
many other papers and numerous people
who preach exterminatior. They forget
that the mass of the Indians are loyal, that
hundreds of red scouts arc securing the In
dian country and rendering great assistance
in gathering information for the agents and
the military, and that such able chiefs as
John Grass and Gall are doing their utmost
to bring the deluded ones among their peo-
pie to knowledge of the fact that they are
being imposed upon. As we'll might it

of the Pilgrims in that generation should be

The $500" Road.

The following, from the Ellendale cor
respondent of the Pioneer Press, will he
of interest to our readers The 500 man.
agement has adopted an aggressive policy
with reference to North Dakota business,
and will reach the state capital ahead of
the Great Northern. Had it not been for
the interruption caused by the wiptry
weather in October, the Dickey county
branch of the 500 (the A., B. s. N. W.
would this fall have been graded from
Boynton, the present terminus, to the
foot OF the couteaux--a distance of twelve
miles. The 500 is building network of
railroads which insures it full share of
business in North Dakota. The line
owned by this company from Aberdeen
to Bismarck is very important. 1t pene.
etrates the new frontier, including McIn.
tosh, Emmons, Logan and Burleigh coun.
ties, besides portions of Brown and Nc.
Pherson. This branch will give South
Dakota the Ignite for fuel, and make
Aberdeen the main distributing point for
that section. The Dickey county branch
traverscs fine agricultural country,
and IS almost an air line between St. Paul
and Minneapolis and the capital Of North
Dakota. This extension intersects the
Aberdeen branch somewhere near the
line between Logan and Mcintosh coun-
ties. 1t will be depended on to supply
the native coal mined in the vicinity of
Bismarck to such points as Ellcndale,
Oakes and Wahpeton. These two lines
are to be completed next season simulta.
neously with the branch from Hankinson
TO Jamestown. There is no longer a
doubt as to the.iutcntion of the 500 com
pany to complete these roads.

In tho Early Days.

Col Lounsberry in Fargo Argus: In 1873
1 saw battle with the Indians on the town.
site of Mandan in which seven Indians
were killed. In 1876 the only settler in the
vicinity of Mandan west of the river was
killed by Indians, and the same fall a herder
was killed eight miles north of BIandan.
Bismarck had the scare then, but one Of the
chiefs gave me pointer. He said they had
to pay tho Indian trader dollar yard for
calico before Bismarck WAS established, but
since then they could buy it for ton cents,
and, as they wanted cheap goods, they
would not interfere with the villages. He
was evidently opposed to the Mckinley bill,

AE Ned nlVcf valley newspapers are
engaged just now in an organized effort
to boom that part Of the state and bring
in settlers. This is as it should be. The
valley at present has a large share of
the population and wealth Of North Da-
kota. There can be found prosperous
cities and fruitful farms. Instead Of
Jealousy. the people of other scctians of
the state have only feelings Of pride for
the valley. We are glad that the people
there are prosperous, hecause the pros
perity of the valley means a hghter bur-
den of taxation for the citizens Of the
whole state. But, at the same time, we
think 1t is bad taste and poor policy for
the valley papers to disparage. as some
of them do, the regions of the state fur
ther west. True, the Missouri Slope has
not been so fortunate in wheat-ralslng
as the valley during the last two or three
years; but this was owning to lack Of
rainfall, and may Be only temporary.
Other sections where dry weather pre-
vailed for series of years were afterward
visited by series of moist seasons.
But it will not require exclusive wheat
raising to make the Slope prosperous.
This country has some advantages not
possessed by the valley. In the first
place, it is much better for stock, as it is
more sheltered and the winter winds
from the north pole such as blow up the
valley do not reach us out here. Stock
here can be pastured, on an average, from
month to six weeks longer each season
than there, and stock horses here require
neither shelter nor feed in winter. The
farmers of the Slope who have from the
time of settlement kept fair-sized band
of stock have done as we'll as the average
valley farmers who have raised wheat ex-
clusively. Another thing For several
months in the year the valley is vast
mud-hole, while here the perfect natural
drainage gives us good roads at all times.
One great advantage out here. too, is the
inexhaustible supply of cheap fuel, and
this alone may some day cause the estab.
lishment of mills and factories that will
transfer the bulk of population from the
Red to the Missouri, and build up cities
in comparison with which Fargo and
Grand Forks will be villages This state
Is too veung for any section to arrogate
to itself all that is good. Let. the lamp
Of experience shine little longer. Let
US see how the Slope will show up when
prairie fires are prevented and this coun.
thy has its complement of, small stock
farms, and when no farmer will cultivate
more than forty or fifty acres of grain,
and do the work well. In tho meantime,
we must bear with patience such terms az
"the sand-hill country" "the gopher
counties" and "the back Counties" when
applied by journals Of the valley, until
such time as the walls of the elevator.

Having lost heavily IN the past by publishing
notices for final proofs that were never made or
failed-or, at any rate, the money for which

ment: Hereafter the price of fnal-proof and

other contest notices the publishers fee will be
$500. The fee must ALWAYS be paid before the
notice is put in type. Notices for publication
sent te the land office, and thence to either the

NOT be published until such fee is received. And
