The Warner Sun.
is issued every Saturday by
BESTOR & MACLEOD, Editor* & Publishers.
Price of subscription $1.50 per year; six months*
75 cents. Subscriptions must be paid invariably in
advance.
THE SUN is admitted to the mail* at second-class
postage rates.
*Tis strange but true that, while
Europe must import gome 300,000,000
bushels of wheat thig season, half of
this amount from the United States,
and while both acreage and crop are
below an average, priccg in the west
are ridiculously low. However, the
most experienced and shrewdest dealers
consider a large advance in price only
a matter of time.
A KOVEL way of smuggling diamonds
has just been detected by the customs
officials at Ogdensburg, N. Y. The
stones were placed in turkeys’ epulis on
the Canadian side and then fastened
to carrier pigeons who conveyed them
across the river. Three lots valued at
$l,lOO were captured. It is estimated
that in this manner the government
has been cheated out of revenue to the
amount of S7OO or SBOO.
PaODY Ryan, tbo pugilist, having
gone to Colorado to get himself in

welcomed by one of the Denver papers:
“ If lid wants to reduce his flesh every

bill to the department for $21,000 for

steamer Roanoke since the year 1877.

ficient during a lifetime of toil and
deprivation to purchase a farm where
on to sjieiid their declining years, and
right here in Dakota they can obtain
for nothing a farm already cleared of
stumps and stones awaiting the
plow. All that has to lie done is to
plow the soil and plant the seed. In
mercantile and mechanical pursuits,
too, no country ever offered better in* •
ducements than does Dakota; in fact
every kind of labor is sure of a liberal
reward. What would be thoughtjin
the east of a mechanic or business
man who, while having his income to
devote to personal uses, was at the
same time securing a 160-aore farm as
a bonus? Would he not lie considered
exceptionally fortunate? Therefore,
something must be radically wrong

A SOLID TOWN.
The numerous towns and cities
which have sprung up in Dakota as if
by magic, dotting the prairie every ten
miles along the course of the railroads,
more than amaze the newcomer, while
residents joint with pride to their
wonderful growth and rapidity of de
velopment Where a couple of years
ago the Indian built his wigwam and
hunted the buffalo, healthy, prosperous
towns now exist and stately buildings
rear themselves aloft as monuments to
the march of progress and the re
sources of the country. In sjx>ts un
known to the white man three or four
years ago we see towns with brick
blocks, excellent sewerage and all the

but what is impossible in commerce ItS
other states aiid territories is not only
only possible but natural, necessary and
remunerative in Dakota. W e are free
to admit, however, that some towns
have been overbuilt, their business
places being too numerous for the
country supporting them, which pro
duces a stagnation disastrous alike l<>
the merchant and his customer. This
fact is sometimes vividly I impressed
