paying for his land with his five years
crop.
1.-The acreage for wheat next year
will he considerably in excess Of this
year, if l may judge by the prepara-
lions that have already been made.
The farmers have not been slow to
take advantage of the extraordinary
weather this fall. and if the land on
which it is now their intention to SOW
wheat is all devoted to that purpose,
the number of acres sOwn will be
greater than last year. There is no
reason why the influx of settlers should
stop so long as there is an acre unoccu
pied in the state. In many respects the
state is III excellent one in which to
live. There are but two seasons
summer and winter-the former so
very warm that a crop of wheat can
be raised in ninety days. and the latter
not any colder than the winters to
which many of the inhabitants of
states south are accustomed.

1t has been discovered that extra
pay amounting to two months salary
to enlisted men Of the army who served
beyond the limits Of the United States
and Il months salary to those who
served within the limits Of the United
States cannot be paid to the heirs of
b%eneficiaries who have died. The
accounting officers of the treasury, in
considering this provision in the settle
ment Of the accounts of officers and
enlisted men forming the temporary
force, have determined that this grant
is a gratuity, and if not reduced to
possession by the persons named as
beneficiaries does not descend and be-
come a part of the assets of the es-
states Of such persons. 1t is held that
the law makes no provision for any
heirs or relatives who are to take the
extra pay in case the officer or enlisted
man dies without having received it

1t is hard to glance over a newspaper
'lnese days without seeing an account
of an advance of wages in some great
industry somewhere in the United
States, and frequently several such adj
vances L %chronicled on the same day.
The output i'm the iron and other lead
ing industries is far above all past fig
ures. The railroads., which are as
trustworthy an index Of general bus
mess conditions as are the banks or
any of the other instrumenta.ities of
civilization, take more money in at this
time and pay out than they ever
did before. The number Of cars built
during the year, as thus far reported,
is 1888, as compared with los, 15S in
1898, a year Of remarkable business ac-
tivity, and this years demand was far
from being fully met. There are
fewer idle persons in this country at
this moment than was ever known in
the past. Moreover, the wave of pros
perity which is sweeping over the
country is evidently far from being
near its eliminating line. The year
which has just begun promises, in all
avenues of business activity, to be
notable and 'beneficent than the
n which is passing out. :

We had thought that perhaps after
Senator Roach's term expired he would
fade gradually from the light of pub
licity but such is not to be the case.
He has been resurrected to public no
tice through the medium Of a progress
sive and enterprising patent medicine
company, and only a day or so ago
his face smiled down upon us from a
huge advertisement in a well known
eastern paper, and beneath was the
printed assurance that the medicine
was about the best known remedy for
poor appetite, building up the wasted
strength, restoring the depleted ell
ergy, resting the tired brain, and Great
ing manifold other improved cond--
tons for the betterment of the indi-
vidual and of humanity. Thus we
see how valuable are the patent med
icine companies in building up inches
in the temple Of fame in which the
memories Of public personages may
be preserved.

The Wahpeton Globe observes: The
sensational correspondence in the
Grand Forks Herald and Fargo Forum
from Mandan. relating to the recent
raid upon the blind pigs in that city,
is evidently intended to misrepresent
the governor of North Dakota, and the
attorney general. The correspondent
states that a number of blind piggers
of Mandan called upon Governor Fan
cher at the executive office and pre-
sented their cases to him; and they re-
ported that he sympathizes with them
in their troubles. This statement is
evidently a lie. Governor Fancher
left Bismarck a few days before Christ
mas, and has not yet returned-while
the raid on the piggers occurred during
the holidays. The correspondence
is evidently inspired by enemies Of
Governor Fancher, who seek to put
him in a false position before the peo-
pie of the state.

The brevet recommended by the late
General Lawton for Col. Treumann Of
the North Dakota volunteers and the
terms of praise in which the general
referred to the North Dakota troops,
are compliments of which the state
troops may we'll feel proud. AS eX-
pressed by many Of the boys, General
LawtOn was not in the habit of throw
ing bouquets, and when he spoke in
praise OF an organization, it was an in
dication that it was thoroughly de-
serving. Ihe North Dakota regiment
had few press boosters, but when the
record Of the Philippine war comes to
be made up, it will occupy a first place,
for courage and fidelity to duty.

PROSPECTS FOR NORTH DAKOTA

PROSPECTS FOR NORTH DAKOTA.
There is little doubt that the men
who are at the head Of the great lines
of railroad in the northwest are more
than satisfied with the volume of rail
road business at present, says the Mill
neapolis Journal. More than that, the
outlook for Il continuation Of the same
conditions is most favorable. The de-
mands made upon all the trunk lines
for the past year have taxed their re-
sources to the utmost, and it has re-
quired all the strategy of their man
ayers at times to handle the business.
That the volume of business, both
prospective and present, will lead
them to construct new lines and feed
ers there is no possible doubt, though
none Of the men at the head of any of
the systems is willing to make such an
admission at the present time.

Of scientific work in the west. He
was noted as an enthusiastic advocate
Of the theory Of natural selection as
expanded by Darwin, and although
born and educated as Il Catholic he died
an agnostic. DR.. Coues in early life
had bull-boated it down the Missouri,
pack-trained it across the plains and
mountains, and made many a dry camp
in the Arizona deserts. One of his
most important pieces OF work was
his editing and revising the Lewis and
Clarke manuscripts and journals. TAX
ing the old editions Of this work, to-
gether with the original notes, he
brought forth through Francis p. Har-
per, the publisher Of New York, a re-
vised version of their travels that made
pain many things before dark, and I'M
tangled many a knot that had seemed
impossible to unravel. Lewis and
Clarke's expedition was of untold
worth to the northwest, and as time
goes on it's value increases. The re-
gions they traversed, then Il wide, UNI
tanned wilderness, inhabited by wild,
unframed beasts and men, and now the
homes of civilization. Ranches, farms,
hamlets and cities now are found
where the Indian villages and buffalo
herds were seen. Up the Missouri
river, from st. Louis to it's head in
Montana, across the mountains into
the Bitter Root valley, then across the
Bitter Root range into Idaho; down the
Clearwater, Snake and Columbia riv-
ers to the seat was a long hard jour-
ney, filled with wonderful adventures
and achievement. They wintered in
1SO4-5 among the Mandan Indians at
the head of the Missouri river, north
kota; the winter Of 1866 was spent at
Fort Glatsop, lear Astoria, Oregon.
The return journey was practically
over the same route except that Lewis
went from Missoula, Montana, across
the mountains to the Great Falls and
Clarke from the Three Forks of the
Missouri in Gallatin Valley, Montana,
crossed the mountains eastward to
Livingston, and followed down the
Yellowstone to the Missouri. But one
man Of the forty odd died, and he lies
buried within the city limits of Sioux
City, Iowa. Many times they were
on the verge of starvation, but the In
dians were almost always their friends
and gave them succOr. One Of their
men, John Golfer, was the discoverer
of Yellowstone Park, Il few years later.
They travelled up the Missouri in bat
teauX, across the mountains on Indian
ponies, down the Columbia in canoes,
burned out of cottonwood trees.
