OFFICIAL PAPER OF MCLEAN co.
School Postponed One Year.

The trustees of the Red River Valley
University have been forced to recon
slider the action by which it was announced
that the regular work of school in the
building would commence in October 1891,
for the following reasons, viz:
/. The first plans of building were of
smaller estimation and less expense; these
plans were necessarily changed after the
foundation was in, and the present struct-
ure reared thereon, costing fully one-third
more than the board first intended to in
vest.
8. The whole time given to the board
to prepare for school was 30 short, that
with the present commodious bnilding and
all the labor attending its erection it has
been found impossible to get 80 far on
with the work as was hoped.
8. The funds necessary to carry on the
work must be mainly gathered in small
subscriptions throughout the conference
and elsewhere; and while the canvass for
funds SO far has been very gratifying, yet
in the very nature of the case it will take
more time than is at our command we're
We to open the fall of 1891.
l.. Yet, even if the funds we're within
easy reach it would be quite impossible
to prepare all things needfull earlier than
January. 1892, an unfavorable time to
school
s.. The City Council of Wahpeton have
agreed to connect the City Water Works
with the building, but there has yet been
no assurance to the board that it will be
done in 1891, and school cannot open until
such water supply is secured.
6. Other things being equal the board
all agreed that it will be better for the
building, now rooted and enclosed, to stand
until next spring before clustering and
finishing the inside.
2. The building completed and entirely
furnished, will, with the help of the homes
of Wahpeton, be able to accommodate
about 200 students quite comfortably;
therefore it has been deemed a more adj
visable plan to open school IN October,
1892, with all things furnished in modern
style, SO a. to meet the expectations of all
than to attempt to sooner, in view of the
above named difficulties.
8. The agencies on foot to collect funds
for the University will by this postpone
ment, have ample TIME for activity, and
can work with advantage. All friends
hoping to help the school will have oppor-
tunity and time to do so; the delay will
aid the otherwise unfavorable, embarrass-
ment of Il debt, and the board of Trustees
feel satisfied that all friends of the school
will be better satisfied with the result.

Where the Next Boom.

Where will the boom strike next!
many people ask. Who're is the next new
region to be developed by railways, to re-
ceive a great rush of population, to build
towns in a month and to make fortunes in
real estate speculations? The answer is,
nowhere. There Ii no new country left,
except Alaska, and that is a sodden forest,
enveloped in almost perpetual night for
half the year and incapable of agricultural
settlement. Western progress in the fu-
ture will consist of steady improvement of
districts already we'll known and thinly
occupied, and already accessible by rail.
New roads will be built, new towns will be
founded, new mines will be discovered and
new industries established, and there will
be speculative opportunities for years to
come, but the era of the creation of new
states in the wilderness is definitely closed.
The next marked advance in the popula-
ton will be made in the Dakotas and
Manitoba, for the reason that on the great
plain that extends from the Manitoba lakes
to the Missouri in South Dakota there still
remains hundreds of thousands of fertile
acres not yet occupied by settlers. Now
that the climate of this great prairie coun-
try, with its alternating dry and wet periods
is well understood, and safe profitable
methods of husbsndry can be practiced,
the region will surely attract a great tide of
immigration. The towns are established
and the railways built and the new settlers
will go upon the soil with all the comforts
of civilization right at hand. The higher
price of cereals and cattle nov prevailing
and the recent success in wool growing in
both Dakotss gives these states new attrac-
tion for home seekers. The foreign immi-
grnts are the first to take advantage of
their cheap lands, but in another year or
two they will receive q strong movement
Of American farmers. The population of
the United States is increasing SO fast that
it cannot be many years before the last
reserve of good prairie land will be occu-

REV. 1UNIS 5. HAMLIN.
He Delivers an Excellent Sermon at the
Second Presbyterian.

Rev Tunis s. Hamlin Of tho Church Of the
Covenant. Washington, d. c.. delivered last
evening a very practical address before the
Presbyterian Union assembled at DR.. Hoge's
church upon personal element in Christian
work Dr. Hamlin emphasized the thought
that in all Christian work we should aim 10
save men as men and not simply rs souls di-
yorced from mind and body" that the whole
man was lost. and hence we must aim to save
the whole man 70 accomplish this
work we must throw our whole
selves into this man-saying work that
church buildings. organizations, church ma
chinery. not even the Bible itself. could save
man. tut that 1t must be done by personal
contact with men; that Christ's life-work
was 10 cast himself into the eleven men
known as the apostles, and that we can only
save men by giving ourselves 70 men and in
fusng ourselves into them"
DR.. Hamlin held the attention Of this large
congregation without wavering throughout
a discourse of some length His style is sim
pie clear and forcible and it is no surprise
that he holds the large, influential ana crlti-
cal congregation which he ministers to in
Washington city.
