The train will start from the Union depot nt T :•!."> o'clock this morning and will consist of a baggage car, two elegant new buffet cars, two oSlcen cars, one passenger (oach especially for the band, and one dining car. The whole train is very elaborately decorated and will bo qnite a spectacle as it passes through the rich and pop ulous country which it will visit. The coaches are decorated with red, white and blue mii«!in entwined and gracefully festooned below each window, an artistic rosette confining the pretty loops. At the corner of the platform at both ends of each car are placed standards reaching three .feet above the on, bearing streamers rep resentinc the colon of all nations. There are Immense letters in isilaralod colors on each side of the ba^ira-re car, forming the words "St. Paul Jobbers' Union"" and the boiler head of the en gine bean the ram. legend on a circular medal ion. The engine wears four great American lacs, and interwoven red, white and blue decor ate the railings and cab. The interior decorations will also be very j elaborate, the roof of the cars being tritamed with a profusion of small American flajs, most tastefnlly arranged. The decoration has been under the supervision of the tasteful and indefatigable alderman. W. A. Van Slyke. Over j 3,000 Midi of ma*lin ha* been consumed in the | decorations. It is hoped that the good farmers j will not mistake this exhibition for a circus. The excursion will be accompanied by the Groat Western band, consisting of sixteen pieces, and a doable quartet of talented vocalists.

The area of the state — roundly stated is 53,530 square miles, or 53,459,840 acres, nearly double that of the state of New York, the commer cial center of the continent. From a popu lation of but 5.000 in 1549 when its territor ial life began, its growth has been so strong and wonderful that it now exceeds, a million of people, and what its future limitation may be, no man Bateth. Far up in the golden northwest where the trapper and hunter not many years ago snared their game for subsistence, lies the j wealthiest and moet prolific grain region of the world, where many a bright sheaf is jrarnered in and turned into shining sold. A field which until recently was abandoned to the Minuehahas and Win on as of a phan tom race which have passed away, and given place to the strong, courageous Anirlo-Saron man of business and commerce. To the thoughtful mind this wonder ful transformation foreshadows events •of the future which must be weighted with grave interest to the whole human kind. "Westward the star of empire takes its way" has already been more than partially realized — the teeming granaries, the proud cities, the quiet, industrious fanner, the busy man of trade, the- rattle and roar of freighted trains groaning under heavy burdens gleaned by enterprise from tbe soil, speak of progress; restless and ir resisUble in its aw&y, and briz&tiy Lams tb* spirit o' hope and faith among the popula tions i the northwest in the glorious future awaiti. ff her people. Like those of Isreal they have been led into a land of plenty, and while passln through the Red Sea of hardships and want 1. ey have reached the further shore in safety. In linking for the causes which have led up to the present prosperity of this region we are ':ot alone struck by the irrepressible anil sapless push of her people but are forced to adi!-ire the vast and illimitable resources and n tural advantages of which she possesses iv a decree far above the most favored re gion of the earth. Her soil will nourish any product of temperate climes, and reproduce a hundred-fold. Vast forests stretch away be yond the most piercing vision, almost beyond conjecture. rapid growth in the past and at present attest the success of their efforts. Eastern capi talists are sucking for investment here with the certainty , of profitable returns. It is conceded without question that St. Paul leads all other cities in the extent, variety, and scope of her commercial en terprises, being at the head of navigation on ~ the upper Mississippi, this places her in close sympathy with the whole country tributary to this noble river, and will be a source of vast revenue In the future when the whole country is fully developed. The city's railroad facilities are all that could be desired, and commerce undoubtedly, has ample avenues for shipping goods to any point. ,/In point of health, St. Paul is par excel lence — the healthy beaming faces oi her citi zens speak for themselves — natural ad vantages, regarding ' landscape and scen ery are not surpassed by any city in the Union. the wide noble river at her feet. The far-reaching range ' of heavily timbered hills present glimpses of rural beauty impossible to imag ine so near a great city, and it is difficult to conceive a fairer scene than the well-built town, so beautifully situated on rising eleva tions. It greets the traveler when first seen like some vision of Mecca to the faithful pil grim. 't:>V. : }%ii'r;«. . * ST.

In 1858 Minnesota was admitted as a state, and all the belt of country lying immediately west of the new state of Minnesota, and also northwest of the state of lowa bordering on the Big Sioux river, extending to the Mis souri river on the west, was unorganized and lIOTKL 11YAN, ST. PAUL. and occupied by Indians. This part was by ' common consent designated by the name of, Dakota from the associated tribe of ludlaus, j known in their own language among them selves as "Dakotas." They afterward learned, by long communication with the whites, the French word "Sioux." Tbe territory of Dakota is a part of the vast public domain that wa3 acquired by the United States through tbe Lousiaina pur chase. Out of this great purchase some of the best states in the Union have been formed; the states of Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska, lowa and Minnesota have been organized, besides other states, and several divisions which still remain ter ritorieg. Iv the school days of our fathers and mothers this vast domain was designated on the map as the Mandan region, or the Man dan territory. Minnesota at one time, while a territory, embraced not only all that por tion of its now present state, but included also all that part of Dakota east of the Mis souri river, and from IH~>4 to 1861 the terri tory of Nebraska included that portion lying west of the Missouri river. In 1858, by treaty with a band of the Da kotas, or Sioux trihe called lancton (Yank ton), and also with tbe Poncas, another na- | tion, the first cession of land within Dakota was made. By tiiis purchase about 25,000 square miles located in the southeastern part of Dakota was added, and by successive treaties with the Sioux this bag gradually been extended, until all east of the Missouri river has been ceded, and in 1877 that por tion of the • ( >resentU:rritory of Dakota known as the Black Hills region, was ceded, and be came a part of tbe territory. In 1859 settlements began, but it was not until March 2d, 18G1, that an act of congress was passed organizing the territory of Dakota. At the organization of the territory it em braced all that portion now embraced in the territories of Idaho, Montana and Wyoming, but by acts of congress since then these other territories have been formed, until the pre sent western boundary of Dakota is formed by the 27th meridian of longitude west from Washington. The growth of Dakota for the past three or four years has been unprecedented in the history of the growth and development of any of the great states and territories of the United States. The population of the south half of the territory exceeds 200,000 people. Thi6 last year the southern portion gained the well merited reputation of being the best wheat producing country in the world, while the southeastern part is truly considered one of the finest grazing and agricultural regions west of the Mississippi river. In thia section can be raised a diversity of crops, such as wheat, oats, barley, corn, flax, vegetables of all kinds, and small fruits, and the near future trill see it one of the most productive grape countries. The railroads are doing much to make this a prosperous and successful country. In a few years Dakota will be intersected with railroads equally with Ohio and Illinois. No better advertisement of the advantages that Dakota presents to the people as an agricul tural and successful grazing country, than the one fact that these corporations — unlike the roads that are in operation In Kansas aiid Nebraska, with their millions of acres givtjn them by the government as inducements |X> build their roads — are pushing ahead of civil ization, relying on the merits of the counti'y itself for future support and success. How Dakota Looks. That portion of Dakota lying east of the Missouri river, excepting along the banks of, the river, is in eyery sense a prairie country, slightly rolling and covered with a luxuriant growth of grasses. The grasses are of several varieties. On the bottom lnnds of the streams will be found meadow grass, that makes the finest hay,and will cut from two three tons of hay to the acre. The buffalo grass is a short, bunchy, curly grass, and grows in great abundance upon the upland prairies. This buffalo grass is of a peculiar nature ; it will curl and dry up in the fall, and in this condition remain sweet and in good condi tion during the winter. Stock will live upon this grass during the winter and they prefer it to hay in the stack. The blue joint is the pride of the prairies. It is increasing each year with civilization ; nearly one half of the prairies are covered with this kind of grass; it grows very rank, often to the height of from four to five feet; it makes the best of hay. If the natural hay crop of Dakota could be gathered, said a dealer in this commodity, and placed in bales in Chicago and New York markets, and sold at present market rates, it would pay off the national debt. The prairies are devoid of timber, except in some remote places on some of the streams. By the wisdom of our laws the growth of tim ber is encouraged by giving to each settler 160 acres of land so claimed, to timber, which can be plauted and raised without much effort. A little care on the part of the settler, and in a few years he can have all | the timber be desires for fuel. A few years ago the buffalo fed upon till eastern portion of the territory in innumer able herds, but they have disappeared to the west. In the summer of, 1876 a number were seen in the vicinity where Mitchell now stands. Antelope were frequently seen frisking about the prairies. Jack rabbits grouse, prairie chickens, quails, geese and ducks in season are quite plenty. The rivers and creeks are stocked with the finest fish. THE SOIL. The soil varies; in some places it is sandy, in others there are quantities of smooth stones scattered, as if washed there by the waves of a sea; and then tbere are streaks where many lake beds have been chained to gether, but the body of the land consist* of a deep, rich black loam of wonderful product iveness. In speaking of the lake beds it may be well to give a brief description of their appear ance. Iv some localities they are more numerous than in others. They haye* the general appearance of gome time containing water; they are on an average covering from one to five acres on each quarter section, or 160 acres; the bottom is bard, and they pro duce an abundance of the finest grass adapted to hay ; they are usually devoid of water, except in an unusually wet season. If a person secures 160 acres and gets from five to ten acres of this class of land it is no disadvantage, owing to its bay producing qualities. CLIMATE. The climate of southern Dakota is similar NO. 190 to that of Minnesota and northern lowa, ex cept that spring comes about tw/> weeka earlier in Dakota, which lies in the Missouri valley. The air is dry and invigorating and generally very clear, so that objects can be seen at a great distance. Dakota is pro^ erb ially a healthy region. Fever and ague and chill* and fever and their unpleasant conse quences are unknown. Fever and lung dis eases are not common in Dakota. The summers of Dakota are pleasant be • cause of the gentle breezes that usually spring up at about 9 o'clock a. m. The evenings Iv summer are cool and pleasant. The winters are not severely cold, but generally quite uniform in temperature, therefore conducive to the health of man and beast. Dakota is the sanitarium of consumptives, while asthma and similar diseases are greatly relieved by a residence here. We have few sudden changea of weather, and muddy streets and roads are unusual in winter. The annual rainfall ol Dakota is about thirty-six inches, which is enough for agricultural purposes. Snow is not deep in winter, generally. Dakota is like other countries in the same latitude. It has snow in winter and rain in summer, sometimes more than, we think we need, which frequently hap pens in the other sections. Tbe climate of Dakota is proverbially healthy. No com plaint is here made of want of appetite. The young retain their youthful app«arance a long time, and aged people are vigorous and active to a good old age. FUEL. Many may say that because we are strictly a prairie country, fuel must necessarily be high. This is a mistake. On the Missouri river large bodies of timber are found, and wood in the vicinity of these tracts sells at about $4 per cord. Many people burn dur« ing the summer season, for fuel, the rank slough grass cut and dried,twisted or pressed into compact form. Those who use it seetn to like it, and it certainly has this to recom* mend it, that it is plenty and costs nothing. But the principal fuel of the people of Dako ta is coal, au abundance af which is found at places along the Missouri river. At present the coal of the country is shipped by rail from Illinois and lowa. Hard coal is sold at Mitchell tit about $11 per ton, and soft coal at §7 per ton. TAXES. One very decided advantage which Dakota has is her low taxes . Learning by actual experience in the Eastern states of the hard times, the outgrowth of the panic of 1873, Dakota is guarding against all matters thai will cause her people to be tax-ridden. We have as low taxes in Dakota as many of the localities in the eastern states. Taxes become due and payable on the first day of October, and delinquent on the first Monday of February following, and draw ten per cent, interest, to which five per cent, penalty is added on the amount unpaid, and one per cent, per mouth thereafter until paid, these penalties being added on the first day of each month. Lands are sold on the first Monday in October following, and may be redeemed within two years, by payment oi purchase money and interest at the rate of thirty per cent, per annum, and all taxes subsequently paid. BX.EMPTIOXB. The following property is free from execu tion for debt by the laws of Dakota : Home steads, one acre if within a town plat, and 160 acres if not, with house and appnrte* nances, unlimited in value. Exemption is absolute except as to taxes, mechanic's lisa for work on the homestead, and debts creat ed for the purchase thereof. Personal prop erty exempt $1,500, besides wearing apparal, books to $100, provisions for one year, fami ly pictures, etc. Real estate or personal prop erty is liable for its purchase money ; other wise; the exemptions areas above stated. KIOHT^ OS* MARRIED WOMEN. Married woman retain their own real and personal property, and may make contracts, sue and be sued, as If single. Neither hug« baud nor wife has any interest In the prop erty of the other. Dower and courtesy arc abolished. RATES OP INTEREST. The legal rate is seven per cent., but par ties may contract in writing for twelve per cent. Usury forfeits all interest. Interest on open accounts runs from date of last item charged, whether debts or credit. Legal rat fe allowed on judgments. The Growth of Dakota, The marvelous growth of Dakota must ex cite tho wonder of all who have studied tho movement of the population and the settle ment of new soil. Twenty yearn ago thero were only a few hundred whites In the south east corner of the territory; in 1870 the popu lation was only 14,000, but in 1880 the population had to 135,000, and now it is believed tbere are 250,000 persons in southern Dakota alone. Railroad companies are rapidly pushing their lines through from north to south and from east to west. Settle* ments are springing up as if by magic, and they are not mushroom mining camps that die soon after birth. In one settlement which recently came into being, there were, only two weeks after the receipt of the first load of lumber, a bank, a newspaper office, two hotels, a church, seven stores, a market, five saloons, a telegraph office, a post-office With 280 call-boxes and 80 lock-boxes, and three lumber yards. The soil is yielding enormous crops, emigrants are coming in by the thousands, and congressmen who have been repudiated by their constituents else where, arrive by almost every train. — Neil York Times. Tree Ualitlnv in Dakota. The past Reason hns been unusually favor able for trees, and 99 per cent, of all trees planted last spring are alive, and have made a remarkable growth. It is to be regreeted that so few timber claims are being im proved, for where trees were planted on such claims two yaara ago they have grown up Into thrifty groveg, and are already a protec tion from the sun and storm. Nearly every farm house bus its young grove started, and many of the farmers are planting trees around the entire claim, with a view of using them as fence posts in the future. We have noticed that where trees have been kept free from weeds and cultivated all Hummer, the growth baa been enormous, but there is a disposition to blight at present, while trees which have been kept reasonably clean and not over cultivated are more thrifty, although the growth may not have beon an great. Cot tonwood and maple, planted in a hole dug in the sod: have done as well, perhaps, as any.
