Capt. P. Ekstrom, representing the
Plano Manufacturing company, and
who is travelling about the state a great
deal, has just returned to Bismarck
from a trip through the upper James
River valley. His business brings him
IN contact with a great many farmers,
and he has had an opportunity to find out
the measure of their d%isafectiop. He
says that in the region last visited there
does not exist a doubt of republican
success on the state ticket and legisla-
ture. Senator Worst has just been up
through that region, and it is said he
completely annihilated Eli q. D. Short
ridge, Independent candidate for
governor, in a joint debate at New Rock
ford.
Advices from Sioux City say that
within a few weeks past Sioux City
parties have put two boats on the Mis-
souri, above here to handle the grain
business along the river where railroad
accommodations are poor. The boats
found business good, and there seems to
be a good prospect of a revival of the
river trade. But two more boats, the
Rosebud and Bachelor, owned by the
Benton Transcontinental company have
been put on recently and are cuttiug
rates. It is believed these boats are put
in to drive out other river boats in the
interest Of the railroads, which regard
with jealousy the incursion of boats into
their territory which has been hereto
fore under their control.
VIM. D. Blackford of Washington, is
paying his Morton county farm-above
Rock Haven-a visit. Mr.. Blackford is
taking great interest in the reform school
and believes the bill granting the aban-
doned Fort Lincoln site to the state for
the reform school, will pass congress
this winter. 1t would have passed last
session, but for the delay in the survey
and the determination Of the boundaries
of the railroad sections. Mr.. Blackford
is one of North Dakota's most earnest
champions in Washington and is aver on
the alert to assist his people to the
extent of his ability. MI. Blackford
speaks kindly Of North Dakota's delega-
ton in congress and says that Senator
Hansbrough is a conspicuous rustler in
Washington.
; Captain Brundage returned Tuesday
from an extended buggy drive over the
rrairies. He went via Dawson to
Eureka, South Dakota, and returned the
same way, accompanied on the return
trip by Mrs. Brundage, who had been
visiting her daughter at Eureka. Mr..
Brundage says the little town Of Eureka
beats anything he ever saw While it
is transitory in appearance it is, never
theless, a very busy town. He says there
are eighteen elevators and grain ware
houses, and that it is expected that over
100000 bushels of wheat will be
marketed there this year. It is the
largest primary wheat market in the
world, and it is not an uncommon sight
to see three, four and even as high as
SIX hundred farmers in town with their
teams on the same day, in the market
season. The stores are not large but
they are numerous. A large amount Of
farm machinery is sold from this point,
| and ia threshinp machines have been
sold this season. Eureka draws trade
from points fifty to seventy-fve miles in
every direction, and much of the winter
freighting to Fort Yates now goes via
that point. The country north and
west is largely settled with Russians,
and they are q thrifty, Woodworking
people. There is strong talk Of the
building Of an extension to the Mil,
waukee road, from that point to Bis.
