10 THE SAINT PAUL DAILY GLOBE: SATURDAY MORNING FEBRUARY 25, 1888.— TWELVE PA(3__?T CULTURE IN DAKOTA. A University that Ranks with the Best in the East- ern States. Draws Students from the Ter- ritory and Twenty-five of the States. Why a Good Many People Want Auditor Ward Out of Office. Division and Ex.- Governor Pierce Are Touched Upon Casually. "From the Globe's Special Staff Contributor. Watkktowx, Feb. 24.—Dakota for resources! Somebody is constantly finding out something about this coun- try that not only "surprises the na- tives," but has a like effect on the people of other states. The other dav- it was my pleasure to call on President Olson, of the territorial university at Vermillion. Here 1 expected not to find a regular university, but something that would be a credit to this new territory. What was my surprise to find an insti- tution of learning that will compare most favorably with the average of those of the states, and that will surpass them in many respects. There are at least two things connected with this university that cannot he approached by any other similar institution. The first „ the system that is in vogue at the "Vermillion university of not only providing free tuition but free room" rent and free heating. Can any other institution of learning in this country be named that does this? But the directors inform me that this will not continue and that after this year they will have to charge something for room rent and heating. They don't propose to put too high a premium on education," or the first tiling we know everybody will be getting educated. The second point that 1 refer to is the Ml'sKAI. n_PAKT_KXT of this institution. It is under the charge of Prof. Ballascyus. and he is a genius. He can make anisic out of any- thing, and the way lie brings it out of these Dakota youths is a surprise even to himself. Sis or seven large pianos constantly resound through the hulls of the music rooms. Altogether 1 found this territorial university of ours quite an institution. There are in actual at- tendance over -jt'.o students: there are in the college department which course compares favorably with that of any college in the land— something over sixty students. A curious fact is that there are thirty-one students in attend-- ance, from outside of the territory, from twenty-five different slates and territo- ries. "Prof. Olson is. I believe, a native Of Norway, being born in that country, but from his appearance and manner you would never know it but one would be more apt to take him for a "down- East Yankee." lie is quite as shrewd and quick as a Yankee and of a nervous disposition. He lias quite an extended repu- tation as a scholar and a deep thinker. Prof.' Olson seems to he just the man for the head of an institution of this bind. for, while he ha?- a good head for details, his learning and scholarship command him the entire respect of the faculty and students. Prof. Olson hails from Chicago, where he has been prom- inent in college and normal work for years. Not to drag this discussion into politics. 1 might add that Prof. Olson is in entire harmony with the administra- tion at Washington; and that he thinks that Blame will be the next Republican candidate for president, and that Presi- dent Cleveland will again beat him, with a strong support from the West and ex- treme East. Be thinks that Wisconsin, Minnesota and Massachusetts may be safely counted for Cleveland. There are a good many men in this territory who. at heart, would like to SEE AUDITOR WARD RESIGN", for the simple hut very good reason that lie has made it entirely too hot for them. When the auditor sent out notice that the railroads had to pay their just proportion of the taxation he meant it That the railroads paid but r. per cent of the taxes on 27 per cent of the property, while the, farmers paid 33 per cent of the taxes on 50 per cent of the property was something more than a high-sounding term to Auditor Ward. Ii is no wonder that ex-Auditor Cald- well, being so dreadfully scooped on this business to imply nothing worse, would like to see Mr. Ward's resignation and was most glad to start a report of this kind, by publishing some long articles in his paper.the Sioux Kails Press, to this effect and telegraphing to his friend, Jewell, at Bismarck, that a move had been started by the governor at Sioux Falls to compel' Auditor Ward's resignation, and that the Press would that morning contain a full account. It is no wonder that Mr. Caldwell should like to start Mich a report: it was a good palitical move, if it hadn't been detected, and in this way made to react on its instiga- tor. When Auditor Ward stated that the insurance companies of the territory would have to submit to a rigid exam- ination, and if any of them were found wanting in the requirements of the law that they would • have to stop trying to do business, lie meant all this, too, and quite a num- ber of men who have been attempting to do an illegitimate insurance business have found this out. lie has shown a disposition to place the insurance busi- ness of the territory on a sound basis, and he seems very likely to accomplish this end. It is no wonder that there are many who would like to hear of Auditor Ward's resignation. But the great mass of the people, the honest, in- telligent, working, voting class, are pained to hear of any such move as this on the part of Mr. Ward. They remonstrate that he shall hold on long enough to accomplish these reforms that, he has inaugurated. or at least until he finds somebody as rood as himself to take his place. This Democratic administration— the first one —does not want to allow any private in- terests to interfere with the public wel- fare. If necessary let Mr. Waid's wholesale business be sacrificed on his party's altar. What motive must IN.SPIRX THESE DIVISIOXISTS? We should not forget last fall's cam- paign. Did not these so-called division- ists nave their campaign organization. Did not they hold their convention? Did not they send out their speakers? Did not they subsidize their press? Now. we want to ask what did those people of our territory who favored one state, do in this cam- paign? We find in Burleigh county, which contains the capital.aithoughonc of the most populous counties in the territory, yet, only some thirty votes were cast altogether, and yet these wild-eyed, looney. Irresponsible papers will keep saying that Dakota people want division and will take nothing else. Mark it— "will take nothing else.'" We claim that the people of this terri- tory have not had a chance to express themselves on this question. But what intolerance from these men who have got the idea into their heads that we must be "divided.*' They hold their conventions, they prosecute their cam- paign, and now they froth at the mouth with fearful indignation, that there an; some people who dared to call a convention ot Aberdeen and express themselves in favor of speedy ad- mission, in whatever way might be decided upon by congress! Now. the question with us is, what motive in- llnenced these divisiouists to work for their pet scheme of division, and to state now that they would take any- thing else? If it was a common mo- tive of public interest, why did not these people, who favor one state, who are supposed at least to be just as good citizens and taxpayers ;:•* these divisionists, why did not they too feel impelled to enter upon a canvass for the campaign. For the simple but conclusive reason that it was a '-division scheme," and all honest men kept out of it. Notwithstanding this grave charge against the late election on division, which 1 believe to be true, there was only a small majority for di- vision as it was. The great object with Dakota people now is some way TO GET A. DIVISION". First— We claim that there has never been any honest expression of the peo- ple on this question. If congress had ordered a vote on the question of "divis- ion" or "one state." and there had been a majority for division, then that would have settled it; but when a few schem- ing politicians take it into their heads they want division, and manage to arrange for a so- called election on the matter, that all honest men who think differ- ently do not attend for the reason that it won't amount to anything, and divis- ion caries by a small majority, then we say that that does not settle the ques- tion by any means. But clear as this is —admit that the people of this territory want division, and what position are some of these divisiouists la? We re- iterate the statement that the people of this territory want admission. President Preston, of Mitchell, of the Aberdeen convention, who was formerly known as a raid- divisionist. stated at. that con- vention that he was for admission. Now comes Delegate Gilford and says that he wont work for admission except it is accompanied by division. Is this what the people "want? Does this represent Dakota? We have shown that on a square issue it is not settled by any means that the people want division. This is a difficult question. It is whether the people prefer immediate admission, in the way that congress will it to us. to .spending years more of doubtful time in chasing after the ques- tionable vagary of division. At last we have these divisiouists shown up in their true light. It is plain what they are after: what they are doing all this work for division for; what their motive in the business is—they are not doing it for fun; be sure they. have an object— that object is to GET MORE OFFICES. They are after this crazy scheme, and let me predict right here that they will never attain it. and what is more it will be their ruin. What, will they talk about sincerity! We all know that the constitution of that Campbell state would never have been adopted if it hadn't been for a rival light between a half dozen towns to see which could get the most votes for the capital. And they do say that Huron would never have, got it if it hadn't been for the fact that it had town lots on four sides of the town that it could give away to workers, while at Pierre they could only offer these presents on three sides- -or rather part of three sides, the Indian reserva- tion not being open. Our friend Wheelock, of the Mitchell Republican, though, has about the right idea of the whole matter. He says that whether one side or the other of the question car- ries, he wants the men of Dakota to stand OX TIIKIH PRINCIPLES by their colors. Both positions can not be right and best, and time can only de- cide. At present he wants both parties to do what they can, in a fair way, to at- tain their ends, and whatever the out- come, they can have the satisfaction of showing a record that was true to their convictions. This is right. Our much-respected friend, ex-Gov. Pierce, hasn't much to say lately about his boodler friends down at Yankton. Eh, governor? Can't you tell us what dear little angels they were? Didn't we know what we were talking about when we said that things were not right there? Who is on top now? Is your friend, Boodler Powers, going to be a candidate for the legislature? We ask you this, Gov. Pierce, as the representative of the Republican party in the territory and the exponent of a great political organ, and not on any personal considerations. The Lookkk-Ix. WEST OF THE MISSOURI. No Damage From Storms Cattle Doing Finely —_. Favorable Winter. Special to the Globe. Gladstone, Stark County, Dak., Feb. 24.—Your correspondent has taken trouble to interview farmers and others in this section of the West Missouri country as to their experiences during the severe storms in January. As far as can be ascertained there was no suffering and no loss at all is reported to stock. The winter so far has been a delightful one. Cattle and sheep are in excellent condition and have required less feeding than in the winter of 1886-7. Farmers who have large herds on shares in the neighborhood of Taylor and Richardton have not feed at all. There is a considerable feeling of in- dignation among business men and others at the repeated failure of the postal authorities to deliver the mail here. Several times lately no mail has has been thrown off, nor none taken from the crane. It is thought that some of the surplus might be devoted to the improvement of the mail service in the Northwest. Investigations point to the fact that the mail clerks are overworked, and that the present force engaged on the main line of the Northern Pacific is inadequate and not able to handle the large and increasing mail distributed to this section of the country. A move- ment has been started by the business men and farmers in and near Gladstone for the starting of a cheese factory on the co-operative plan. Excellent facil- ities are here afforded for such an enter- prise, as some of the finest springs in the West Miss country are located near the tow nsite. Sheep and horses on shares are in demand here by the farmers. is a native of Pennsylvania, a first grad- uate of Cornell univeisity, Ithaca, N. V., a favorite student of Andrew I). White, the great ex-president of Cor- nell. Eleven years a* newspaper man, beginning with the Cincinnati Enquirer and ending with the Fargo Times, July 4, l*so, when he became register of the Bismarck land office by the grace ot Carl Schurz. He is one of the school in journalism that believes in news and paragraphs. July 4, I*S4, Ik; was re- appointed register on his merits, and his office is now rated by inspector Hobbs, of the general land office, the best in the West, and the Bismarck Tribune, somewhat partial, has said "In the United States." The settlers think he is an unabridged encyclopedia of land and law statistics. lie beleives in a single settlement law only, and is the author of many short disquisitions pub- lished at different times to that effect. Thinks the Northern Pacific as a matter of business should give its lands to actual settlers on the same or equiva- lent terms as the government does under the homestead law. He doesn't seem to have tiny political record. He may have personal friends high up, but he never held any other office than the one he fills at present. Never was at Washington. D. C, never was in a leg- islature, never was a delegate to a po- litical convention, never made a stump speech and never peddled tickets at the polls. His original appointment must have been an accident. He never earned it by any political service the oldest set- tler knows anything about. He is a student of recent economic questions, and is said to be writing a book. Tariff revision, profit sharing and commercial union with Canada are his hobbies. He is a cousin of Commander-in-Chief Rea, of Minneapolis, and believes iv that gentleman. THE BLIZZARD LOSSES Gathered by Territorial Board of Education From County Superintendents. Names of Victims in all Coun- ties of Dakota That Suffered. The Total Figures Are 120 in South and 16 in North Dakota. Aid Needed for Some of Those Injured in the Storm. The following is a correct list of the names of the persons who perished in Dakota in the great blizzard of the 12th of January, 1888. The preparation of this list was authorized by the territor- ial board of education and has been compiled by the secretary of the board from information obtained from the county superintendents of the various counties, lie is now engaged in ar- ranging and editing this information for publication in pamphlet form as a memorial to the teachers and pupils of the public schools who yielded their lives to the fury of the storm. Many of the victims of that storm have left familes and other persons who were de- pendent upon them in helpless and straightened circumstances, One man leaves an aged and helpless father and mother in very destitute circum- stances. Several have left wives with large families of children in an almost helpless condition. Some of those who have suffered in the storm and have lost some of their limbs are without money or friends from whom they can claim the attention they need. One family of seven persons were for many hours in the storm and of the seven there is not one able to leave the bed. All but one have suf- fered the amputation of some of their members: They are in the house of a stranger. They are in very destitute circumstances. Three or four persons are needed in constant attendance upon them. The people of that locality are dealing generously with them, but their condition demands the sympathy of a broader circle. Such cases would be much relieved by the contributions of of people who are charitably inclined. Any person or corporation wishing to relieve distress can find instances among the sufferers of the blizzard where money would be most worthily bestowed and gratefully received. Any one can obtain the names of such per- sons by making inquiry. P. S. Dougherty, Canty, Aurora county, aged 'JO, teacher. — Rodgers, Plankinton, Aurora county, farmer. A young man.

No authentic accounts have yet been received from the following counties, viz: Charles Mix, Brule, Butte,' Fall River,Jerauld. Emmons, Morton, Griggs, Pembina, Rolette. It is known that three or four persons (the names of two are given), were frozen in Brule county, and one is reported lost in Jerauld. With the two exceptions named it is thought that none of these counties suffered the loss of a life. The total number lost and whose names are re- ported is l:;:;."; Allowing three for the two counties of Brule and Jerauld, the total number of lives lost in the terri- tory will be 13(5. We believe this to be the correct number. The following counties report no loss of life: Barnes. Buffalo, Burleigh, Campbell, Cass, Coddington, Custer, Eddy, Edmunds, Foster, Grand Forks, Hughes. Kidder, La Hour, Lawrence, Logan, Mercer Mcllenry, McLean, Mc- Pherson, Nelson, Oliver, Pennington, Potter, Ramsey, Stark, Steel, Sully, Towner, Traill, Union, Walsh, Wal- worth; Wells. Of the whole number perished sixteen were north of the 46th parallel and the remainder to the south. This fact is doubtless due to the greater severity of the storm in the southern part of the territory; and also to the fact that the storm began later in the day, and there- fore found a larger number of people away from their homes. A line drawn on the map from Bottineau county in the North to Bon Homme county in the South will indicate the points of greatest severity. As to occupation, 8 are reported as teachers in the public schools, 35 were pupils in the schools. 44 were reported as farmers, 9 farmers* wives, 2 agents, 0 laborers, 1 fisherman, and the occupa- tion of 28 not given. CALDWEL.I/S MUSTARD SEED. How It Grew and Birds of the Air "Lodged in Its Branches and Suns of It. S- ecial to the Globe. Sioux Falls, Feb. 24.— And 10, the mustard seed which Caldwell hath planted hath waxed great and doth flour- ish as a green bay tree. By this refer- ence is had to the story which was started by Mr. Caldwell touching the reception of the Sioux Falls Democrats by the governor on his visit here some time ago. During the last week the papers through the whole territory have contained references in one way and another to the manner in which the governor "slighted" the local Demo- crats. Organs of the party have advised the faithful here to pass the thing over for the good of the party, and Republican papers.with a disinterested- ness which is heroic, have insisted that the Democrats resent it. It is now per- haps time to STATE THE WHOLE CASE as it was known to the Globe's repre- sentative. • Gov. Church came here to consult with D. M. lnman and Abe Boynton on business connected with their official positions. The governor was not mak- ing a triumphal tour, he had been hos- pitably entertained by the Sioux Falls people a short time before and was loth to accept any more hospitalities or to appear to be the occasion of any more "blow outs." Announcement however was made in the Argus Leader that the governor was tit the C ataract, and that lie would be glad to receive visits from any who might call. Mam- did call and many did not. But no one here thought of having been slighted. There were no insults, no cold deals, no wine bottles, no schemes, no resigna- tions. The whole story sprung, like Minerva, full grown from the brain of this journalistic Zeus, who once occu- pied the position of ex-auditor of the territory. The fiction was conceived, born and matured in a single flight of an unsteady imagination, and it may safely be said that father and child are alike ashamed of each other. This is the story of the "governor's insulting conduct towa rd the Democrits of Sioux Falls." Next. editor of the Kedlield Journal, Redfield, Dak., was born at Palmyra, Wis., Jan. 22, 1859. lie removed with his parents to lowa in 1870, where he assisted his father in fanning and stock-raising un- til he attained his majority, having re- ceived in the meantime a liberal edu- cation; nirrried a Miss Burgess, a na- five of Nova Scotia, and struck out for Dakota with his wife in the spring of 1880, settling at .Brookings, where he became connected with a newspaper Two years later lie removed to Redfield and soon there- after secured an interest in the Journal, assuming the management of its busi- ness department. On Sept. 1. 1883, he became its chief editor and principal proprietor— positions which he still oc- cupies. ' lie is. a pronounced Republi- can in politics and equally as pro- nounced for prohibition, so far as it per- tains to the sale of intoxicants as a bev- erage, and is popular as a journalist. BOOMING OAKES. A Descriptive Write-Up of a Dakota Town Which Has Had _*•_$ A Marvelous Growth and Is Destined to Be a Great Railroad and Commercial ; Center—What Her Busi- ness Men Are Doing* and the Improve- ments That Ape Now Be- ing* Made. Special to the Globe. Qakes, Dak., Feb. 94.— A great deal has been said and written during tin- past year concerning the future of the booming little city of Oakes, Dickey county, Dakota. One needs only to ex- amine the map of Dakota and study the location of Oakes and the railroads that center here to understand why it is that her citizens are so sanguine of her future. When its system of rail- roads are understood; and the Influ- ence they must bring to bear to- wards the development and growth of Oakes; the claim that it will some day- be the largest city in Cnntral Dakota does not seem so preposterous after all. Three immense railroad corporations are now operated into Oakes, viz: The Chicago _ Northwestern railway, the Northern Pacific railway and the Min- neapolis „ Pacific railway. Oakes is the northern terminus of the Chicago & Northwestern railway in Dakota, also the southern terminus of the Northern Pacific railroad. These two lines are the coxxectixg ItAir.ltd.Vl) I. INKS between South and North Dakota; and through them Oakes becomes the pas- senger junction and freight transfer for all travel and freight between the two great sections of Dakota. When we look at the vast stretch of country traversed by these two great railways, we must see the immense transfer busi- ness that will eventually exist between them at this point. The most important east and west line of railroad that has been extended into Dakota is the Min- neapolis & Pacific railroad, which is an extension of the Minneapolis. Sattlt Ste. Marie & Atlantic railroad, but better known as the '.'Great Soo System."' The Minneapolis & Pacific, which is now operated into Oakes and gives us an air line to St. Paul and Min- neapolis, when extended into Bis- marck will be 100 miles shorter than any other line running between Bis- marck and St. Paul. With its connec- tions via the Sault Ste. Marie it brings Oakes and Central Dakota over 400 miles nearer to the seaboard and the Eastern cities and manufactories than any other railroad. When we contemplate the re- duction in passenger and freight rates by this short route and the facilities Oakes will present as a distributing point, one can hardly realize the magni- tude of the business to be transacted. The Minneapolis &Pacific, looking for- ward to the importance of this point, have made it the end of both passenger and freight divisions, and have secured thirty acres of land upo i which they have contracted and agreed to erect ex- tensive machine and repair shops the coining season. There is still another road which the people of Oakes hope to secure— the Black Hills branch of the Northern Pa- cific, which now ends temporarily at Milnor. Dak., about thirty miles distant, and which in its westward course an- other season will cross the James .river valley either at Oakes or La Moure. There is also some probability that the Rock Island system, already in Central Dakota, will put out an arm to reach this general meeting point. . The above map gives the reader some- what of an idea of the great railroad and commercial center Oakes is surely des- tined to be. Oakes is a city at present of about 600 inhabitants, and is situated in the eastern portion' of Dickey county, one Of the richest agricultural districts in the territory. It also lies in almost the geographical cen- ter of that portion of Dakota territory lying east of the Missouri river, and in the very heart of that magnificent stretch of country known as the "James river valley," which lias made Dakota famous throughout the . world by its wonderful production of hard wheat. The city lies one mile east of and thirty- seven feet above the level of the James river. At a depth of fifteen feet below the surface there is an inexhaustible supply of ; ; ,- THE PUREST WATER found in Dakota, being suitable for both engines ani manufacturing pur- poses. The city of Oakes was not platted until Sept. 29, 1866. but at the first sale of lots over £14.000 changed hands. The streets are now ornamented with busi- ness blocks that would be a credit to a city many times its size. Judging by present indications, the city will this season witness a boom and growth that has never been equaled In the West. Among the many improvements to be made, we may mention a $40,000 flour- ing mill, now in course of erection, with a capacity of ISO barrels per day. A #5,000 school house is to be built. The Baptist, Presbyterian and Methodist societies have all awarded contracts for the erection of large church edifices this spring. Over 200 buildings were erected in Oakos the first year of its ex- istence, and with such live men as Messrs. Marshall, James, McCarthy, Slocuni, Peabody, Reddle, Ilagen, and many others backing the town, it can not help but become a city. The principal real estate interests in Oakes are owned as follows: The West- ern Townsite company and the North- ern Pacific railway own the original town site, which includes 320 acres. The Minneapolis & Pacific road, in connec- tion with the Oakes syndicate, of winch Hon. T. F. Marshall is local manager, and is ably assisted by Col. M. S. James; owns 400 acres adjoining the town. The Sioux Falls syndicate, composed of President Mckinney, of the Sioux Falls National bank, W. W. Brookings, Eddy & Davenport, Dr. Subera and others, are largely interested It Oakes. Parties from Appleton, Wis , have invested $10,000 in Oakes real estate, and have more to put in. J. B. McCarthy, of Oakes, also owns a very valuable addi- tion to the city, which In; has just plat- ted and placed on the market. Oakes has an excellent weekly news- paper, the Republican, 'which is ably edited by W.H.Ellis. A boom edition of 20,000 copies of this paper is just be- ing issued, and parties contemplating settling in Dakota should write for a sample copy of this sheet. Oakes offers many Inducements, and to capitalists, investors, professional men, merchants, mechanics and those of every line of business who are seeking investments, business or homes, there is an opening at Oakes that for safety and certainty cannot be surpassed in this territory. » Far«jo "Buckeyes." Special to the Globe. Faik-o, Feb. 24.— response to a call for the organization of an Ohio club in this city, a meeting was held in the Office of Judge Mitchell, Thursday eve- ning, with a goodly number of repre- sentatives present. Judge Mitchell was made chairman, and Capt. Gregg secre- tary. A committee was appointed to draft a constitution, and the meeting ad- journed to meet in Y. 51. C. A. hall Feb. •''.>. This being Ohio's centennial year, much interest is manifested by her former citizens in this movement. _ i A Successful Lady Pastor. Special to the (J lobe. Sioux Falls, Feb. 24.—A little over year ago Miss Carrie J. Bart left, of Minneapolis, came to Sioux Falls and organized a church, of the Unitarian faith. The society under her pastorate has grow radidly, and is now one of the largest and most prosperous church organizations in the city. An elegant new stone church has just been built at an expense of some $5,000, and to-mor- row the church will be first occupied and dedicated. It is a monument to Miss Bartlett's perseverance and talents. A SAMPLE COUNTY. But About Four Tears Old and Has Over Seven Thousand Population. RAILROADS OPENING IT UP. Great Wheat and Stock Section aud Much Government Land Tet to be Had. Special Letter to the ('lobe. Laxcuiox, Cavalier Co., Dak., Feb. 28. Cavalier county, as can be observed by a glance at the map, lies in the northeastern portion of Dakota, is bounded on the north by Manitoba, on the east by Pembina county, on the south by *V"» alsh and Bamsey counties, and on the west by Towner county. It was organized July 8. ISS4, and by an act of the last legislature the county seat was established at Langdon. There are forty-two congressional townships embodied therein, which means nearly 1,000,000 acres of land, fully one-half of which is still open to settlement. The development of the county has been phenomenal since its first settlement, notwithstanding the numerous trials and adversities that the settler was sub- jected to, owing to inconvenience of travel without a railroad and a market for produce, until last November, when the rewards of patience were fully met by the completion of the St. Paul, Min- neapolis & Manitoba extension to this point. The country is settled with a well-to-do and prosperous class of peo- ple, com posed partly of those from other states, but principally from Canada, and this leads me in justice to the Canadians to state that a wrong impres- sion prevails among some that these residents of her majesty's dominion never become true citizens to our gov- ernment. There may be exceptions, but as a class 1 can, from a standpoint of knowledge, vouch tnat they make the very BEST OF SUBJECTS, are thrifty, economical, and primed with energy, the latter quality attributable. I presume, to the stimulating influences of our northern ozone. I am told that a great deal of disaffection exists across the line among the people, occasioned by the ill-treatment of the government and as the old saying goes, "It's an ill wind," etc., hence we look for a large emigration from there next spring, and while it is not my object to sow any seeds of dissension by this allusion, still I say to those people, if you are not satisfied, come to Dakota and you will find her people ever ready to welcome and encourage you in every possible way, feeling satisfied that the induce- ments offered here are commensurate with the benefits to be derived. In this county we have an advantage over some of our sister counties of the territory in view of the fact that none of our domain is gobbled up BY LAND GRANTS, every quarter section is or has been open to settlement, at a government price which is within the range of all, consequently speculators are barred from securing possession of large tracts and then holding the land at fabulous prices, which, by the way, has demon- strated itself to be a curse to sections where such a state of affairs exist. Nearly five thousand acres of our virgin prairie lie waiting for development from the hand of the new settler, who can, with very little money, coupled with a determination to succeed, soon secure for himself a comfortable home and a fair competency, and many a man who is now working from early morn till late atjiight, only eking out an exist- ence in some fossilized over-crowded town, or on a small farm in the effete East, could, if he would but muster up sufficient cour- age to shake off the cobwebbed shackles of poverty-ridden bondage that hold him down, by the same labor in a few years obtain what a lifetime of an equal outlay in such places never bring, and this is no inflated statement, for it has been verified by the experience of many. 'Tis true that this is not a coun- try without its drawbacks, but where is the land where ".MILK AND HONEY FLOW" and all is cloudless sunshine year in and year out! Echo justly reverberates the answer, "Nowhere," and those who hold out inducements different to draw emi- gration can be properly classified in the category of frauds of the deepest dye, for the perpetration of which the tor- tures of the whipping post would be a lukewarm punishment. At the present time many of our Eastern and Southern contemporaries are parading in capital letters the severe storms to which Da- kota has been subjected— the loss of life, etc.— and are endeavoring to use this as an argument to direct the tide of immi- , gration in other directions. I admit that this has been a severe winter in Dakota, but, in all fairness, has it not been the same all over the country- East, West, North and South? Now*as to the mortality caused by cold. Nearly all of it is traceable to negligence on the part of the people in subjecting them- se. Ives to exposure. "Anounce of pre- vention is worth a pound of cure," and if people were more discreet there would be no necessity for such catastrophes. All will agree that in new and sparsely populated countries there is but little protection for the reckless adventurer who ignores all precaution in risking his life in a storm; but in time, as set- tlers fill in and the country becomes more densely populated such accidents will be of rare occurrence and would be now if more care was exercised. To those who are engaged in this NEFARIOUS AND LIBELOUS circulation of malevolent reports. 1 say that it is a selfish and detestable policy to attempt to build up one portion of a country by tearing down another; all other things being equal. However, "Truth is mighty and will prevail." and how much better for all concerned to give unvarnished facts, and thus avoid the bitter pangs of disappointment and the accompanying injuries incident to the tactics of deception practiced by many upon the innocent seeker of a home, in advertising a locality with a view to settling it up. As I stated at the beginning of my letter, the growth of this county since its first settlement has been really mar- velous, and where only a short time ago the handiwork of civilization was un- known the works of progress and enter- prise are visible all around. Farms are being . opened up in every di- rection, good, substantial buildings are constructed generally, and improve- ments of all kinds are in order. Farm- ers have been blessed with excellent crops.

And now a word about Langdon and a few of the other lead- ing towns: Langdon takes Its name from B. B. Langdon, Minnesota's well- known millionaire and politician, and dates its birth as a town from October, 18137, prior that it was only a postoffice. It is beautifully situated on the elevated prairie overlooking the surrounding country, and geographically in the cen- ter of the county, at the terminus of the St. Paul, Minneapolis & Manitoba rail- road, and owing to its elevation is con- sidered one of the healthiest localities in the Northwest. Its growth has been astonishing, and what was only unset- tled prairie a few months ago is now a place of the most marked activity, sub- stantially built, and with a population of over CiOO souls. Ours is no ephemeral town. It is a place created by the de- mands of its tributary surroundings. In short, it is a desirable business point. On the 28th inst. an election is ordered by the board of county coinmissiones for the purpose of incorporating as a city, and already, as is customary, a number of candidates are pulling the political wires for the capture of polit- ical prizes and the emoluments thereof. Milton, Osnabrock, Edinburg and Olga are other towns not so large, but prosperous in proportion. Iv conclu- sion, permit me to add, in the language of the average newspaper correspond- ent, that '-I have already trespassed too much on your valuable space," and fur- ther, that this article is not especially intended for "boom" purposes, though the critic and fastidious will be prone to draw such an inference.

A Young Musical Genius of the Dakota City Winning Honors in Paris. Special to the Globe. Faiigo, Feb. 24.—Fargo society is de- lighted at the rising success of one of its favorites over the water. It is learned that Miss Marie Paige, daughter Of F. A. Paige of this city, recently made her debut In Paris as a concert violinist, receiving an enthusiastic wel- come by a fashionable audience of over 1,000 persons, being encored at each ap- pearance. Miss Paige i-, a Dakota girl with pluck and genius, but nineteen years of age. A brilliant career is pre- dicted for her as a violin virtuoso. She graduated from the New England Con- servatory Of Music with high honors at the age of seventeen, and sailed at once for Paris, where she has since been under the tutalege of the world's mas- ters of the art. The "Globe's" Position. The Policy Which the Paper Has Pursued in Achiev- ing; It. The policy under which the St. Paul Globe has been so successfully managed during the past two years is easily explained, and the prosperity of the paper has proved its wisdom. The Globe is essentially a newspa- per and a Northwestern newspaper. Three years ago there was nota journal in the great Northwest that made any pretense of collecting the news of this section. As- sociated Press reports were printed, but no publisher had attempted a systematic gathering of Dakota, Minne- sota, Northern lowa and Wisconsin news. The Globe, under its present management, was the first paper to enter this broad field, and during the past few years it has added to its facilities until now it is universally rec- ognized as the best Northwestern newspaper published. With characteristic enterprise, a special Dakota edition was added to the Saturday issue, and the result is a cir- culation in Dakota far in excess of any other metropoli- tan paper. The success of the Globe in Dakota has been so marked as to call forth imitation on the part of its contemporaries, flattery of a kind which all publish- ers appreciate. As it was the first to establish a Dakota department, it remains the leader in the high character of its territorial news. A feature of the Globe which has done as much as anything else to establish its great popularity is the accuracy of its statements. Many subscribers have been attracted to the paper by the plain statement of fact, devoid of reportorial comment, which characterizes its news columns. The plain unvarnished facts are given, and they carry with them their own criticism or approval, unbiased by comment. To the seeker after news this meets with unqualified approval, and the general public has not been slow to express its appreciation. Travelers on Northwestern railroads have often noticed the pre- ponderance of Globes sold on the trains. A comparison of Northwestern papers makes the reason apparent. The people want the news and they will buy the paper that gives it to them reliably and in quantity. Expe- rience has taught that both in the quality and* quantity of its news the Globe is unexcelled. In all the towns of the West the leading metropolitan paper is the Globe. A visit through the Western country will prove the truth of this statement. Having met the wants of the people, popularity fol- lowed as a natural consequence. With a constantly in- creasing circulation has come a broadened influence, which the policy of the paper tends to strengthen. Among both Democrats and Republicans the Globe has established a reputation for fairness and courtesy which is invaluable, having gained its present position through fearlessness and honesty in its dealings with men. To the many who have watched the career of this paper the rapid increase of its circulation has been phenomenal, and it is safe to assert that the Globe is but just enter- ing upon an era of unparalleled prosperity. A MARVEL OF THE TIMES. THE BEST NEWS SERVICE A Superb Illustration of Modern The Representative Paper of the "Northwest in Enterprise and Push. Journalism. [Ashton (la.) Argus.] [Oshkosh (Wis.) Times.] The GLOBE is one of the newspaper marvels ofthe times. Three years ago it was a strug- gling, bankrupt concern with- out reputation, ability or busi- ness. Lewis Baker's manage- ment of the paper, however, has made it a remarkable suc- cess, and the St. Paul GLOBE is now looked upon as the representative paper of the Northwest, not only in enter- prise and push, but also in breadth and scope of its news and ability of its editorial de- partment. It covers North- western Wisconsin. Minnesota and Dakota, and does it well. The St. Paul GLOBE has the best news service of any paper in the Northwest, and not only that, but its columns compare favorably with those of the New York World in the inten- sity of their interest. Its 81111- --| day edition is a superb illus- tration of modern American journalism. That the GLOBE is appreciated can be demon- strated by a look at its new building—a ten-story struct- ure—the most magnificent specimen of architecture in the wonderful Western metropolis where it is published.

"From the Globe's Special Staff Contributor.Watkktowx, Feb. 24.—Dakota for

resources! Somebody is constantlyfinding out something about this coun-try that not only "surprises the na-tives," but has a like effect on thepeople of other states. The other dav-it was my pleasure to call on PresidentOlson, of the territorial university atVermillion. Here 1 expected not tofinda regular university, but something thatwould be a credit to this new territory.What was my surprise to find an insti-tution of learning that will comparemost favorably with the average ofthose of the states, and that will surpassthem in many respects. There are atleast two things connected with thisuniversity that cannot he approached byany other similar institution. The first„ the system that is in vogueat the "Vermillion university ofnot only providing free tuitionbut free room" rent and free heating.Can any other institution of learningin this country be named that does this?But the directors inform me that thiswill not continue and that after thisyear they will have to charge somethingfor room rent and heating. They don'tpropose toput too high a premium oneducation," or the first tiling we knoweverybody will be getting educated.The second point that 1 refer to is the

of this institution. It is under thecharge of Prof. Ballascyus. and he is agenius. He can make anisic out ofany-thing, and the way lie brings itout ofthese Dakota youths is a surprise evento himself. Sis or seven large pianosconstantly resound through the hulls ofthe music rooms. Altogether 1 foundthis territorial university of ours quitean institution. There are in actual at-tendance over -jt'.o students: there are inthe college department which coursecompares favorably with that of anycollege in the land— something oversixty students. A curious fact is thatthere are thirty-one students in attend--ance, from outside ofthe territory, fromtwenty-five different slates and territo-ries. "Prof. Olson is. I believe, a nativeOf Norway, being born in that country,but from his appearance and manneryou would never know it but one wouldbe more apt to take him fora "down-East Yankee." lie is quite as shrewdand quick as a Yankee andof a nervous disposition. Helias quite an extended repu-tation as a scholar and a deep thinker.Prof.' Olson seems to he just the manfor the head of an institution of thisbind. for, while he ha?- a good head fordetails, his learning and scholarshipcommand him the entire respect of thefaculty and students. Prof. Olson hailsfrom Chicago, where he has been prom-inent in college and normal work foryears. Not to drag this discussion intopolitics. 1 might add that Prof. Olson isin entire harmony with the administra-tion at Washington; and that he thinksthat Blame will be the next Republicancandidate for president, and that Presi-dent Cleveland will again beat him, witha strong support from the West and ex-treme East. Be thinks that Wisconsin,Minnesota and Massachusetts may besafely counted for Cleveland. Thereare a good many men in this territorywho. at heart, would like to

SEE AUDITOR WARD RESIGN",for the simple hut very good reasonthat lie has made it entirely too hot forthem. When the auditor sent outnotice that the railroads had to paytheir just proportion ofthe taxation hemeant it That the railroads paid butr. per cent of the taxes on 27 per cent ofthe property, while the, farmers paid 33per cent of the taxes on 50 per cent ofthe property was something more thana high-sounding term to Auditor Ward.Ii is no wonder that ex-Auditor Cald-well, being so dreadfully scooped onthis business to imply nothingworse, would like to see Mr.Ward's resignation and wasmost glad to start a report of this kind,by publishing some long articles in hispaper.the Sioux Kails Press, to this effectand telegraphing to his friend, Jewell,at Bismarck, that a move had beenstarted by the governor at Sioux Fallsto compel' Auditor Ward's resignation,and that the Press would that morningcontain a full account. It is no wonderthat Mr. Caldwell should like to startMich a report: it was a good paliticalmove, if it hadn't been detected, andin this way made to react on its instiga-tor. When Auditor Ward stated thatthe insurance companies of the territorywould have to submit to a rigid exam-ination, and ifany of them were foundwanting in the requirements ofthe law that they would • have tostop trying to do business,lie meant all this, too, and quite a num-ber of men who have been attemptingto do an illegitimate insurance businesshave found this out. lie has shown adisposition to place the insurance busi-ness of the territory on a sound basis,and he seems very likely to accomplishthis end. It is no wonder that thereare many who would like to hear ofAuditor Ward's resignation. But thegreat mass of the people, the honest, in-telligent, working, voting class, arepained to hear of any such move as thison the part of Mr. Ward. Theyremonstrate that he shall holdon long enough to accomplish thesereforms that, he has inaugurated.or at least until he finds somebody asrood as himself to take his place. ThisDemocratic administration— the firstone—does not want to allow any private in-terests to interfere with the public wel-fare. If necessary let Mr. Waid'swholesale business be sacrificed on hisparty's altar.

What motive mustIN.SPIRX THESE DIVISIOXISTS?

We should not forget last fall's cam-paign. Did not these so-called division-ists nave their campaign organization.Did not they hold their convention?Did not they send out their speakers?Did not they subsidize their press?Now. we want to ask what didthose people of our territorywho favored one state, do in this cam-paign? We find in Burleigh county,which contains the capital.aithoughoncof the most populous counties in theterritory, yet, only some thirty voteswere cast altogether, and yet thesewild-eyed, looney. Irresponsible paperswillkeep saying that Dakota peoplewant division and will take nothingelse. Mark it—"will take nothing else.'"We claim that the people of this terri-tory have not had a chance to expressthemselves on this question. But whatintolerance from these men who havegot the idea into their heads that wemust be "divided.*' They hold theirconventions, they prosecute their cam-paign, and now they froth at themouth with fearful indignation, thatthere an; some people who dared to calla convention ot Aberdeen and expressthemselves in favor of speedy ad-mission, in whatever way might bedecided upon by congress! Now. thequestion with us is, what motive in-llnenced these divisiouists to work fortheir pet scheme of division, and tostate now that they would take any-thing else? Ifit was a common mo-tiveof public interest, why did not thesepeople, who favor one state, whoare supposed at least to bejust as good citizens and taxpayers;:•* these divisionists, why did

not they too feel impelled to enter upona canvass for the campaign. For thesimple but conclusive reason that it wasa '-division scheme," and all honest menkept out of it. Notwithstanding thisgrave charge against the late election ondivision, which 1 believe to be true,there was only a small majority for di-vision as it was. The great object withDakota people now is some way

TO GET A. DIVISION".First— We claim that there has never

been any honest expression of the peo-ple on this question. If congress hadordered a vote on the question of "divis-ion" or "one state." and there had beena majority for division, then that wouldhave settled it; but when a few schem-ing politicians take it into theirheads they want division, andmanage to arrange for a so-called election on the matter,that all honest men who think differ-ently do not attend for the reason thatit won't amount to anything, and divis-ion caries by a small majority, then wesay that that does not settle the ques-tion by any means. But clear as this is—admit that the people of this territorywant division, and what position aresome of these divisiouists la? We re-iterate the statement that the people ofthis territory want admission. PresidentPreston, of Mitchell, of the Aberdeenconvention, who was formerly knownas a raid- divisionist. stated at. that con-vention that he was for admission. Nowcomes Delegate Gilford and says that hewont work for admission exceptit is accompanied by division.Is this what the people "want? Doesthis represent Dakota? We have shownthat on a square issue it is not settledby any means that the people wantdivision. This is a difficultquestion. Itis whether the people prefer immediateadmission, in the way that congress willit to us. to .spending years more ofdoubtful time in chasing after the ques-tionable vagary of division. At last wehave these divisiouists shown up in theirtrue light. It is plain what they areafter: what they are doing all this workfor division for; what their motive inthe business is—they are not doing it forfun; be sure they. have an object— thatobject is to

GET MORE OFFICES.They are after this crazy scheme, and

let me predict right here that they willnever attain it. and what is more it willbe their ruin. What, will they talkabout sincerity! We all know that theconstitution of that Campbell statewould never have been adopted if ithadn't been for a rival light between ahalf dozen towns to see which could getthe most votes for the capital. Andthey do say that Huron would neverhave, got it if it hadn't been for the factthat it had town lots on four sides of thetown that it could give away to workers,while at Pierre they could only offerthese presents on three sides- -or ratherpart of three sides, the Indian reserva-tion not being open. Our friendWheelock, of the Mitchell Republican,though, has about the right idea of thewhole matter. He says that whetherone side or the other of the question car-ries, he wants the men of Dakota tostand

OX TIIKIHPRINCIPLESby their colors. Both positions can notbe right and best, and time can only de-cide. Atpresent he wants both partiesto do what they can, in a fair way, to at-tain their ends, and whatever the out-come, they can have the satisfaction ofshowing a record that was true to theirconvictions. This is right.

Our much-respected friend, ex-Gov.Pierce, hasn't much to say lately abouthis boodler friends down at Yankton.Eh, governor? Can't you tell us whatdear little angels they were? Didn't weknow what we were talking about whenwe said that things were not right there?Who is on top now? Is your friend,Boodler Powers, going to be a candidateforthe legislature? We ask you this,Gov. Pierce, as the representative of theRepublican party in the territory andthe exponent of a great political organ,and not on any personal considerations.

WEST OF THE MISSOURI.

No Damage From Storms CattleDoing Finely —_. FavorableWinter.

Special to the Globe.Gladstone, Stark County, Dak., Feb.

24.—Your correspondent has takentrouble to interview farmers and othersin this section of the West Missouricountry as to their experiences duringthe severe storms in January. As faras can be ascertained there was nosuffering and no loss at all is reportedto stock. The winter so far has been adelightful one. Cattle and sheep are inexcellent condition and have requiredless feeding than in the winter of1886-7. Farmers who have large herdson shares in the neighborhood of Taylorand Richardton have not feed at all.

There is a considerable feeling of in-dignation among business men andothers at the repeated failure of thepostal authorities to deliver the mailhere. Several times lately no mail hashas been thrown off, nor none takenfrom the crane. It is thought that someofthe surplus might be devoted to theimprovement of the mail service in theNorthwest. Investigations point to thefact that the mail clerks are overworked,and that the present force engaged onthe main line of the Northern Pacific isinadequate and not able to handle thelarge and increasing mail distributed tothis section of the country. A move-ment has been started by the businessmen and farmers in and near Gladstonefor the starting of a cheese factory onthe co-operative plan.

THE BLIZZARD LOSSESGathered by Territorial Board

of Education From CountySuperintendents.

Names of Victims in all Coun-ties of Dakota That

Suffered.

The Total Figures Are 120 inSouth and 16 in North

Dakota.

Aid Needed for Some ofThose Injured in the

Storm.

The following is a correct list of thenames of the persons who perished inDakota in the great blizzard of the 12thofJanuary, 1888. The preparation ofthis list was authorized by the territor-ial board of education and has beencompiled by the secretary of the boardfrom information obtained from thecounty superintendents of the variouscounties, lie is now engaged in ar-ranging and editing this informationfor publication in pamphlet form as amemorial to the teachers and pupils ofthe public schools who yielded theirlives to the fury of the storm. Manyof the victims of that storm have leftfamiles and other persons who were de-pendent upon them in helpless andstraightened circumstances, One manleaves an aged and helpless father andmother in very destitute circum-stances. Several have left wiveswith large families of childrenin an almost helpless condition.Some of those who have suffered in thestorm and have lost some of their limbsare without money or friends fromwhom they can claim the attention theyneed. One family of seven personswere for many hours in the storm andof the seven there is not one able toleave the bed. All but one have suf-fered the amputation of some of theirmembers: They are in the house ofastranger. They are in very destitutecircumstances. Three or four personsare needed in constant attendance uponthem. The people of that locality aredealing generously with them, but theircondition demands the sympathy of abroader circle. Such cases would bemuch relieved by the contributions ofof people who are charitably inclined.Any person or corporation wishing torelieve distress can find instancesamong the sufferers of the blizzardwhere money would be most worthilybestowed and gratefully received. Anyone can obtain the names of such per-sons by making inquiry.

No authentic accounts have yet beenreceived from the following counties,viz: Charles Mix, Brule, Butte,' FallRiver,Jerauld. Emmons, Morton, Griggs,Pembina, Rolette. It is known thatthree or four persons (the names of twoare given), were frozen in Brule county,and one is reported lost in Jerauld.With the two exceptions named it isthought that none of these countiessuffered the loss of a life. The totalnumber lost and whose names are re-ported is l:;:;."; Allowing three for thetwo counties of Brule and Jerauld, thetotal number of lives lost in the terri-tory will be 13(5. We believe this to bethe correct number.

The following counties report no lossof life: Barnes. Buffalo, Burleigh,Campbell, Cass, Coddington, Custer,Eddy, Edmunds, Foster, Grand Forks,Hughes. Kidder, La Hour, Lawrence,Logan, Mercer Mcllenry, McLean, Mc-Pherson, Nelson, Oliver, Pennington,Potter, Ramsey, Stark, Steel, Sully,Towner, Traill, Union, Walsh, Wal-worth; Wells.

Of the whole number perished sixteenwere north of the 46th parallel and theremainder to the south. This fact isdoubtless due to the greater severity ofthe storm in the southern part of theterritory; and also to the fact that thestorm began later in the day, and there-fore found a larger number of peopleaway from their homes. A line drawnon the map from Bottineau county inthe North to Bon Homme county inthe South will indicate the points ofgreatest severity.

As to occupation, 8 are reported asteachers in the public schools, 35 werepupils in the schools. 44 were reportedas farmers, 9 farmers* wives, 2 agents,0 laborers, 1 fisherman, and the occupa-tion of 28 not given.

CALDWEL.I/S MUSTARD SEED.

How It Grew and Birds of the Air"Lodged inItsBranches and Sunsof It.

S- ecial to the Globe.Sioux Falls, Feb. 24.—And 10, the

mustard seed which Caldwell hathplanted hath waxed great and doth flour-ish as a green bay tree. By this refer-ence is had to the story which wasstarted by Mr. Caldwell touching thereception of the Sioux Falls Democratsby the governor on his visit here sometime ago. During the last week thepapers through the whole territory havecontained references in one way andanother to the manner in which thegovernor "slighted" the local Demo-crats. Organs of the party haveadvised the faithful here to pass thething over for the good of the party, andRepublican papers.with a disinterested-ness which is heroic, have insisted thatthe Democrats resent it. Itis now per-haps time to

STATE THE WHOLE CASEas it was known to the Globe's repre-sentative. •Gov. Church came here to consultwith D. M. lnman and Abe Boynton onbusiness connected with their officialpositions. The governor was not mak-ing a triumphal tour, he had been hos-pitably entertained by the Sioux Fallspeople a short time before and wasloth to accept any more hospitalitiesor to appear to be the occasion of anymore "blow outs." Announcementhowever was made in the Argus Leaderthat the governor was tit the C ataract,and that lie would be glad to receivevisits from any who might call. Mam-did call and many did not. But no onehere thought of having been slighted.There were no insults, no cold deals, nowine bottles, no schemes, no resigna-tions. The whole story sprung, likeMinerva, full grown from the brain ofthis journalistic Zeus, who once occu-pied the position of ex-auditor of theterritory. The fiction was conceived,born and matured in a single flight ofan unsteady imagination, and it maysafely be said that father and child arealike ashamed of each other.

This is the story of the "governor'sinsulting conduct towa rd the DemocritsofSioux Falls." Next.

BOOMING OAKES.A Descriptive Write-Up of a

Dakota Town WhichHas Had _*•_$

A Marvelous Growth and IsDestined to Be a

Great

Railroad and Commercial; Center—What Her Busi-

ness Men

Are Doing* and the Improve-ments That Ape Now Be-

ing* Made.

Special to the Globe.Qakes, Dak., Feb. 94.—A great deal

has been said and written during tin-past year concerning the future of thebooming little city of Oakes, Dickeycounty, Dakota. One needs only to ex-amine the map of Dakota and study thelocation of Oakes and the railroads thatcenter here to understand why it is thather citizens are so sanguine of herfuture. When its system of rail-roads are understood; and the Influ-ence they must bring to bear to-wards the development and growth ofOakes; the claim that it will some day-be the largest city in Cnntral Dakotadoes not seem so preposterous after all.Three immense railroad corporationsare now operated into Oakes, viz: TheChicago _ Northwestern railway, theNorthern Pacific railway and the Min-neapolis „ Pacific railway. Oakes isthe northern terminus of the Chicago& Northwestern railway in Dakota, alsothe southern terminus of the NorthernPacific railroad. These two lines arethe

coxxectixg ItAir.ltd.Vl) I. INKSbetween South and North Dakota; andthrough them Oakes becomes the pas-senger junction and freight transfer forall travel and freight between the twogreat sections of Dakota. When welook at the vast stretch of countrytraversed by these two great railways,we must see the immense transfer busi-ness that will eventually exist betweenthem at this point. The most importanteast and west line of railroad that hasbeen extended into Dakota is the Min-neapolis & Pacific railroad, which is anextension of the Minneapolis. Sattlt Ste.Marie & Atlantic railroad, but betterknown as the '.'Great Soo System."'The Minneapolis & Pacific, which isnow operated into Oakes and givesus an air line to St. Paul and Min-neapolis, when extended into Bis-marck will be 100 miles shorter thanany other line running between Bis-marck and St. Paul. With its connec-tions via the Sault Ste. Marie it bringsOakes and Central Dakota over 400 milesnearer to the seaboard and the Easterncities and manufactories than any otherrailroad. When we contemplate the re-duction in passenger and freight ratesby this short route and the facilitiesOakes will present as a distributingpoint, one can hardly realize the magni-tude of the business to be transacted.The Minneapolis &Pacific, looking for-ward to the importance of this point,have made it the end of both passengerand freight divisions, and have securedthirty acres of land upo i which theyhave contracted and agreed to erect ex-tensive machine and repair shops thecoining season.

There is still another road which thepeople of Oakes hope to secure— theBlack Hills branch of the Northern Pa-cific, which now ends temporarily atMilnor. Dak., about thirty miles distant,and which in its westward course an-other season will cross the James .rivervalley either at Oakes or La Moure.There is also some probability that theRock Island system, already in CentralDakota, will put out an arm to reachthis general meeting point. .

The above map gives the reader some-what of an idea of the great railroad andcommercial center Oakes is surely des-tined to be. Oakes is a city at presentof about 600 inhabitants, and issituated in the eastern portion' ofDickey county, one Of the richestagricultural districts in the territory. Italso lies inalmost the geographical cen-ter of that portion of Dakota territorylying east ofthe Missouri river, and inthe very heart of that magnificentstretch of country known as the "Jamesriver valley," which lias made Dakotafamous throughout the . world by itswonderful production of hard wheat.The city lies one mile east of and thirty-seven feet above the level of the Jamesriver. At a depth of fifteen feet belowthe surface there is an inexhaustiblesupply of ; ; ,-

THE PUREST WATERfound in Dakota, being suitable forboth engines ani manufacturing pur-poses. The cityofOakes was not platteduntil Sept. 29, 1866. but at the first saleof lots over £14.000 changed hands. Thestreets are now ornamented with busi-ness blocks that would be a credit to acity many times its size. Judging bypresent indications, the city will thisseason witness a boom and growth thathas never been equaled In the West.Among the many improvements to bemade, we may mention a $40,000 flour-ing mill, now in course of erection, witha capacity of ISO barrels per day. A#5,000 school house is to be built. TheBaptist, Presbyterian and Methodistsocieties have all awarded contractsforthe erection of large church edificesthis spring. Over 200 buildings wereerected in Oakos the first year of its ex-istence, and with such live men asMessrs. Marshall, James, McCarthy,Slocuni, Peabody, Reddle, Ilagen, andmany others backing the town, it cannot help but become a city.

The principal real estate interests inOakes are owned as follows: The West-ern Townsite company and the North-ern Pacific railway own the originaltown site, which includes 320 acres. TheMinneapolis & Pacific road, in connec-tion with the Oakes syndicate, of winchHon. T. F. Marshall is local manager,and is ably assisted by Col. M. S. James;owns 400 acres adjoining the town. TheSioux Falls syndicate, composed ofPresident Mckinney, ofthe Sioux FallsNational bank, W. W. Brookings, Eddy& Davenport, Dr. Subera and others,are largely interested It Oakes. Partiesfrom Appleton, Wis , have invested$10,000 in Oakes real estate, and havemore to put in. J. B. McCarthy, ofOakes, also owns a very valuable addi-tion to the city, which In; has just plat-ted and placed on the market.

Oakes has an excellent weekly news-paper, the Republican, 'which is ablyedited by W.H.Ellis. A boom editionof 20,000 copies of this paper is just be-ing issued, and parties contemplatingsettling in Dakota should write for a

sample copy of this sheet. Oakes offersmany Inducements, and to capitalists,investors, professional men, merchants,mechanics and those of every line ofbusiness who are seeking investments,business or homes, there is an openingat Oakes that for safety and certaintycannot be surpassed in this territory.

Great Wheat and Stock Section audMuch Government Land Tet

Special Letter to the ('lobe.Laxcuiox, Cavalier Co., Dak., Feb. 28.Cavalier county, as can be observed

by a glance at the map, lies in thenortheastern portion of Dakota, isbounded on the north by Manitoba, onthe east by Pembina county, on thesouth by *V"» alsh and Bamsey counties,and on the west by Towner county. Itwas organized July 8. ISS4, and by anact of the last legislature the countyseat was established at Langdon. Thereare forty-two congressional townshipsembodied therein, which means nearly1,000,000 acres of land, fully one-half ofwhich is still open to settlement. Thedevelopment of the county has beenphenomenal since its first settlement,notwithstanding the numerous trialsand adversities that the settler was sub-jected to, owing to inconvenience oftravel without a railroad and a marketfor produce, until last November, whenthe rewards of patience were fully metby the completion of the St. Paul, Min-neapolis & Manitoba extension to thispoint. The country is settled with awell-to-do and prosperous class of peo-ple, com posed partly of those from otherstates, but principally from Canada,and this leads me in justice to theCanadians to state that a wrong impres-sion prevails among some that theseresidents of her majesty's dominionnever become true citizens to our gov-ernment. There may be exceptions, butas a class 1 can, from a standpoint ofknowledge, vouch tnat they make thevery

BEST OF SUBJECTS,are thrifty, economical, and primed withenergy, the latter quality attributable. Ipresume, to the stimulating influencesofour northern ozone. I am told thata great deal of disaffection exists acrossthe line among the people, occasionedby the ill-treatment of the governmentand as the old saying goes, "It's an illwind," etc., hence we look for a largeemigration from there next spring, andwhile it is not my object to sow anyseeds of dissension by this allusion, stillIsay to those people, if you are notsatisfied, come to Dakota and you willfind her people ever ready to welcomeand encourage you in every possibleway, feeling satisfied that the induce-ments offered here are commensuratewith the benefits to be derived. In thiscounty we have an advantage over someofour sister counties of the territory inview of the fact that none ofour domainis gobbled up

BY LAND GRANTS,every quarter section is or has beenopen to settlement, at a governmentprice which is within the range of all,consequently speculators are barredfrom securing possession of large tractsand then holding the land at fabulousprices, which, by the way, has demon-strated itself to be a curse to sectionswhere such a state of affairs exist.Nearly five thousand acres of our virginprairie lie waiting fordevelopment fromthe hand of the new settler, who can,with very little money, coupled with adetermination to succeed, soon securefor himself a comfortable home and afair competency, and many a man whois now working from early morn tilllate atjiight, only eking out an exist-ence in some fossilized over-crowdedtown, or on a small farm in theeffete East, could, if he wouldbut muster up sufficient cour-age to shake off the cobwebbedshackles of poverty-ridden bondage thathold him down, by the same labor in afew years obtain what a lifetime of anequal outlay in such places never bring,and this is no inflated statement, for ithas been verified by the experience ofmany. 'Tis true that this is not a coun-try without its drawbacks, but where isthe land where

".MILKAND HONEY FLOW"and all is cloudless sunshine year in andyear out! Echo justly reverberates theanswer, "Nowhere," and those who holdout inducements different to draw emi-gration can be properly classified in thecategory of frauds of the deepest dye,for the perpetration of which the tor-tures of the whipping post would be alukewarm punishment. At the presenttime many of our Eastern and Southerncontemporaries are parading in capitalletters the severe storms to which Da-kota has been subjected— the lossof life, etc.— and are endeavoringto use this as an argumentto direct the tide of immi- ,gration in other directions. I admitthat this has been a severe winter inDakota, but, inall fairness, has it notbeen the same all over the country-East, West, North and South? Now*asto the mortality caused by cold. Nearlyall of it is traceable to negligence on thepart of the people in subjecting them-se. Ives to exposure. "Anounce of pre-vention is worth a pound of cure," andif people were more discreet there wouldbe no necessity for such catastrophes.All will agree that in new and sparselypopulated countries there is but littleprotection for the reckless adventurerwho ignores all precaution in riskinghis life in a storm; but in time, as set-tlers fill in and the country becomesmore densely populated such accidentswill be of rare occurrence and would benow if more care was exercised. Tothose who are engaged in this

NEFARIOUS AND LIBELOUScirculation of malevolent reports. 1 saythat it is a selfish and detestable policyto attempt to build up one portion of acountry by tearing down another; allother things being equal. However,"Truth is mighty and will prevail." andhow much better for all concerned togive unvarnished facts, and thus avoidthe bitter pangs of disappointment andthe accompanying injuries incident tothe tactics of deception practiced bymany upon the innocent seeker of ahome, in advertising a locality with aview to settling it up.

As I stated at the beginning of myletter, the growth of this county sinceits first settlement has been really mar-velous, and where only a short time agothe handiwork of civilization was un-known the works of progress and enter-prise are visible all around. Farmsare being . opened up in every di-rection, good, substantial buildingsare constructed generally, and improve-ments of all kinds are in order. Farm-ers have been blessed with excellentcrops. As an evidence the elevators re-port over 1,000.000 bushels of wheatmarketed in 1887, uot to speak of other

mains, consequently the farmers arenearly all in good circumstances, whichbespeaks a bright future for Cavaliercounty. Conspicuous among the earlysettlers, and to whom much is due forthe success and prominence of thecounty's interests, might be justly men-tioned Hon. 11. Mcfingh, George F.Winter, W. J. Mooney, lion.

And now a word aboutLangdon and a few of the other lead-ing towns: Langdon takes Its namefrom B. B. Langdon, Minnesota's well-known millionaire and politician, anddates its birth as a town from October,18137, prior that it was only a postoffice.It is beautifully situated on the elevatedprairie overlooking the surroundingcountry, and geographically in the cen-ter of the county, at the terminus of theSt. Paul, Minneapolis & Manitoba rail-road, and owing to its elevation is con-sidered one of the healthiest localitiesin the Northwest. Its growth has beenastonishing, and what was only unset-tled prairie a few months ago is now aplace of the most marked activity, sub-stantially built, and with a populationof over CiOO souls. Ours is no ephemeraltown. It is a place created by the de-mands of its tributary surroundings.In short, it is a desirable business point.On the 28th inst. an election is orderedby the board of county coinmissionesfor the purpose of incorporating as acity, and already, as is customary, anumber of candidates are pulling thepolitical wires for the capture of polit-ical prizes and the emoluments thereof.

Milton, Osnabrock, Edinburg andOlga are other towns not so large, butprosperous in proportion.

FARGO PROUD OF HER.

A Young Musical Genius of theDakota City Winning Honors inParis.

Special to the Globe.Faiigo, Feb. 24.—Fargo society is de-

lighted at the rising success of one ofits favorites over the water. It islearned that Miss Marie Paige, daughterOf F. A. Paige of this city, recentlymade her debut In Paris as a concertviolinist, receiving an enthusiastic wel-come by a fashionable audience of over1,000 persons, being encored at each ap-pearance. Miss Paige i-, a Dakota girlwith pluck and genius, but nineteenyears of age. A brilliant career is pre-dicted for her as a violin virtuoso. Shegraduated from the New England Con-servatory Of Music with high honors atthe age of seventeen, and sailed at oncefor Paris, where she has since beenunder the tutalege of the world's mas-ters ofthe art.

The "Globe's" Position.The Policy Which the Paper Has Pursued in Achiev-

ing; It.The policy under which the St. Paul Globe has been

so successfully managed during the past two years iseasily explained, and the prosperity of the paper hasproved its wisdom. The Globe is essentially a newspa-per and a Northwestern newspaper. Three years agothere was nota journal in the great Northwest that madeany pretense of collecting the news of this section. As-sociated Press reports were printed, but no publisherhad attempted a systematic gathering of Dakota, Minne-sota, Northern lowa and Wisconsin news. The Globe,under its present management, was the first paper toenter this broad field, and during the past few years ithas added to its facilities until now it is universally rec-ognized as the best Northwestern newspaper published.With characteristic enterprise, a special Dakota editionwas added to the Saturday issue, and the result is a cir-culation in Dakota far in excess of any other metropoli-tan paper. The success of the Globe in Dakota hasbeen so marked as to call forth imitation on the part ofits contemporaries, flattery of a kind which all publish-ers appreciate. As it was the first to establish a Dakotadepartment, it remains the leader in the high characterof its territorial news.

A feature of the Globe which has done as much asanything else to establish its great popularity is theaccuracy of its statements. Many subscribers have beenattracted to the paper by the plain statement of fact,devoid of reportorial comment, which characterizes itsnews columns. The plain unvarnished facts are given,and they carry with them their own criticism or approval,unbiased by comment. To the seeker after news thismeets with unqualified approval, and the general publichas not been slow to express its appreciation. Travelerson Northwestern railroads have often noticed the pre-ponderance of Globes sold on the trains. A comparisonof Northwestern papers makes the reason apparent.The people want the news and they willbuy the paperthat gives it to them reliably and in quantity. Expe-rience has taught that both in the quality and* quantityof its news the Globe is unexcelled. In all the towns ofthe West the leading metropolitan paper is the Globe.A visit through the Western country will prove thetruth of this statement.

Having met the wants of the people, popularity fol-lowed as a natural consequence. With a constantly in-creasing circulation has come a broadened influence,which the policy of the paper tends to strengthen.Among both Democrats and Republicans the Globe hasestablished a reputation for fairness and courtesy whichis invaluable, having gained its present position throughfearlessness and honesty in its dealings with men. Tothe many who have watched the career of this paper therapid increase of its circulation has been phenomenal,and it is safe to assert that the Globe is but just enter-ing upon an era of unparalleled prosperity.

AMARVELOF THE TIMES. THEBEST NEWS SERVICE

A Superb Illustration of ModernThe Representative Paper of the"Northwest in Enterprise andPush.

Journalism.[Ashton (la.) Argus.]

[Oshkosh (Wis.) Times.]

The GLOBE is one of thenewspaper marvels ofthe times.Three years ago it was a strug-gling, bankrupt concern with-out reputation, ability or busi-ness. Lewis Baker's manage-ment of the paper, however,has made it a remarkable suc-cess, and the St. Paul GLOBEis now looked upon as therepresentative paper of theNorthwest, not only in enter-prise and push, but also inbreadth and scope of its newsand ability of its editorial de-partment. It covers North-western Wisconsin. Minnesotaand Dakota, and does itwell.

The St. Paul GLOBE has thebest news service of any paperin the Northwest, and not onlythat, but its columns comparefavorably with those of theNew York World in the inten-sity oftheir interest. Its 81111-

--| day edition is a superb illus-tration of modern Americanjournalism. That the GLOBEis appreciated can be demon-strated by a look at its newbuilding—a ten-story struct-ure—the most magnificentspecimen ofarchitecture in thewonderful Western metropoliswhere it is published.
