ers here have realized the situation,
and tons Of acid, phosphates, etc, will
be used all over this section. 1t has
taken seventy-five years to bring
about this need.
AS this letter deals mostly with
land, will refer to prices. One of my
younger friends recently bought q
farm of forty acres eight miles from
Greensboro, and some three Or four
miles from Ensor, IL more than u
mile from a railroad. No improve
mcnts beyond a small house. (hewed
logs and Il stable with fence. 1t is a
air piece OF land, but has been in use
probably fifty years-mosr Of it. Part
Of it is low. and it is fairly even of
surface. For this tract he pays 81 600
or $40 an acre. He had saved up 5000
out of the last three crops 1.-TWO off his
piece and has paid half the purchase
price down. 1t is considered a pretty
good deal all around. With good
luck he is expected to pay for the
place in three or four years. Bad
luck, as flood. or drouth. will mean
more than with us. For fifty acres
a mile from here another young farm
er friend has paid S2,OuO. It is good
land and no waste. Another friend
had been looking at a 200 acre farm
four miles from the city. which had
been held at 100000. 1t has an 81 300
house and good improvements. But
when he talked purchase S,3,OOO was
asked. He could get $1,000 for his
present place. but thinks he will come
up and try Kidder county next year
before selling. This will give you
an idea Of land values here. l have
tried to show how much better it is
to buy Il section of Kidder county and
put on some cattle and sheep: and it
is all but certain that once let one or
two of thrifty. capable farmers get a
sight and realization of what the North
Dakota soil and climate offer. and
there would be less of them paying
forty dollars per acre for land here.
1t is too high a price for one who ex-
poets to get his money and living off
his bone and muscle.

Agency Resumes Operations.

Elbowoods, N. D., April 9.-The
agency boarding school has resumed
operations. Eighty children are now
enrolled. They are an exceptionally
c~lear-skinned and healthy lot and were
subjected to a rigid physical examin-
alton before being accepted.
Spring has arrived to stay. The
grass is growing rapidly and on Sun
day several snakes were seen at the
agency. AS there was no Bismarck
mineral water on hand these snakes
are genuine.
Miss Laura E. Cowles of the Pierre,
S.. d., school. recently transferred to
the agency boarding school as teacher,
has declined the transfer and Mrs.
Flora +. Cushman of the Indian
school at Flandreau, has been trans
ferred in her stead.
The number of delegates to the re-
publican county convention amounts
to twenty-siX. OF these ElbowOods
and Armstrong. the two precincts on
the reservation, are entitled to five
and six respectively.

Local showers occurred Saturday
and Sunday evenings. Frost has left
the ground and the indians are pre-
pairing for the spring blowing and
seeding.

WANT THE ROAD.
Unanilnity of Sentiment at Washburn
Regarding the New Railroad.
a dispatch from Washburn SAYS:

A dispatch from Washburn says:
This town, it is promised. will be
reached by General Washburn's new
road by Sept. /. The citizens believe
it. although there are those ON the out
side world who are rather skeptical.
There has been a good many improve-
ments in the last year. and the decks
are getting cleared for further action.
The new railroad will have the entire
river front, that has hitherto formed
part OF the townsite. having acquired
it by purchase. gift and condemnation
proceedings. The recent term of court
was engaged for two days in trying
condemnation cases.
The temper of the people here on
the railroad question is very different
from what it is in Bismarck. In Bis
marck there is quite a respectfully sized
minority Of citizens who are not
friendly to the new enterprise: who
claim that it will do the capital city
more harm than !. will do it good. and
who have placed some distractions in
the way OF the requirement by the
road of its necessary land for track
and depot grounds. In Washburn. on
the other hand. everybody wants the
road. and is willing to lend a hand
towards getting It. There has been
less anti-railroad talk among the
jurors and people attending court,
than n would hear in Bismarck-in
fact, everybody at Washburn seems to
be enthusiastic boomers. AS a result.
the lot and land wner who did not
settle with the railroad company be-
fore their cases got into court. found
the jury rendering smaller verdicts
than they could have obtained before
court opened.
The country between Washburn and
Bismarck is daily receiving a large
number of newcomers, mostly from
Iowa and Illinois. They bring along
tneir wagons. farm implements, chick
n and babies. Arrangements are
being made for putting in a ferry at
this point. 1t will strike the Oliver
county side about ten miles above the
county seat of that county.
