The western boom is going the way of all booins,but at a more rapid and destructive gait than usual. In Tacoma this situation is again duplicated. Motor lines have been built to run tbe confid ing speculator out into the timber, and lots staked out all the way, are on the market at sky-scraping figures. Recent ly, it is said, a bear was killed alon« side the track of one of those motor lines—away outside of the settled por tions of the town. There is enough land platted for city usages, in Tacoma, to contain a population equal to that of London. SOME of our republican exchanges, says the Butte Miner, are indulging in speculations as to the significance of Colonel Robert G. Iagersoll's recent interview, in which he states that Blaine is out of the presidential race and strikes his reciprocity scheme under the fifth rib by saying that it is simply protection with more syllables. They recall the scene in the national convention when Ingersoll delivered his famous speech nominating Blaine for the presidency, and admit that although Blaine was not nominated by that convention the speech which placed a halo of glory over the name of tbe Maine statesman, did more to popularize him than alhelse combined. It was there that he was named the "Plumed Knight," ard was depicted to the young Americans as an armed war rior marching down the halls of congress barling his shining lance at the defamers of his country and raising high jinks generally with the enemies of tbe fiag. Yet we find an alleged coolness between Ingersoll and Blaine. The Miner does not believe that the great word-painter's sentiments are prompted by any spirit of resentment or personal pique. 9e is a man of the world. He is a student of human nature as well as a ciose observer of political events. He knows that although Blaine has the largest personal following of any man in the party, he cannot unite the party. ____________ EX-SENATOR INGALLS of Kansas, who now alludes to himself facetiously as "a statesman out of a job," has gone on the lecture platform. He made his debutTues day night at Washington. "Problems of our second century" was his subject. The first problem which he discussed was the danger of paternalism in the government, and be paid his respects in his unique way t.o the class of people who want their debts paid by act of congress and who would have money as plentiful as aut'umn leaves in the forest. Me said that if all the wealth in the United States were to be equally divided now, in six months there would be some people riding in palace cars, some in buggies, some would be walking and some would be sitting in fence corners watching the procession go by. "Above all," he added, "there would be heard again the voice of the irresponsible reformer, earning his livelihood by tbe prespi'ation of bis jaw rather than by the sweat of his brow." The ex-senator takes an optimistic view of the cure. He belives the present is a crisis in the history of the country and that all the forces of demoralization are marshaled for the contest, but has no doubt as to the outcome of the fight. His prophetic vision sees a future full of broader liberty, larger opportunities for happiness and greater prospects for the development of the nation. THE fact that for two years past the two Dakotas have suffered for want of rain has led to speculations regarding the future, and anything in the way of past history is interesting and valuable. Gen. Sibley in the summer of 1863 drove the Indians from Minnesota across the plains of North Dakota to the Missouri river. He states that the region around Devils inlrw was at that time exceedingly dry, all small lakes, all sloughs and coulees were entirely dry and water in the large lakes was so alkaline that the mules refused to iiiffii PPW--"- '5-r I ,' 'i .... jf "i 'f',yi"r f1 n«»» 3 00 1 50 8 00 1 00 0AILY(EXCEPT SUNDAY) & WEEKLY W. R. KELLOGG. IT ia dull on tbe coast. Returning travelers all tell the same story. Inves tors »re finding their visions of golden' harvests in townsites, wharfage, timber and acre property nothing but the ver itable "stuff that dreams are made on." 'ihere are thousands of idle men in Port land, Taoomn, and Seattle. Eastern capitalists are looking up the more sub stantial investments now to be had east of the Rookies. In Seattle realestate has been advanced to such ridiculous prices that the boom is entirely defunct. Woods and hill-sides, miles away from the oity, have been platted into 25x100 foot lots, and instead of being placed on sale at from 975 to 9100 per lot, are held as high as $1,000. The strange hallucination exists among the owners that they oan get higher prices for such property than is asked for similar property in New York and other large eastern cities. drink it. At that time the country seem ed an absolute widerness outside of a small belt around the lakes, and no one ever expected to hear of its settlement. Could those old Indian fighters come out here now and see the entire country under cultivation, with fine towns every six miles, their surprise would be note worthy. The present rainy season in North Dakota indicates a return to the state of things characterized by the abundant crops and unexampled pros perity of the long period following the first settlement of the state. THE execution of four murderers in Sing Sing, New York, Tuesday by elec tricity is a charitable and beneficent tribute to soience, besides fulfilling the law. The chief thing to be desired in the process of execution is a speedy de livery of the fatal ourrent to the con demned victim, after he is seated in the chair. Delay then must be agonizing and terrific, a punishment keener for a few moments than any amount of phyai oal pain aotually experienced. The pro gress of science should avert any unnec essary mental cruelty. The fullest of publicity, also, it seems, should be given to these executions. Why the state should assume any secret authority to experiment and possibly torture men, or to take life without a general public knowledge of every detail, is not seen. It is un-American method that ought not to prevail. THERE are many eyes on the result of tbe efforts to close the saloons in tbis city. The situation remains about the same as two weeks ago. It is reported and currently believed that the open saloon is no more. The Stuteman county grand jury was called together early this week, for purposes not yet officially disclosed, but it is said to get some kind of guaranty that the saloon men will not sell liquor after the jury is dismissed, and that the officials will enforce the law if violated. It is hard for many people to under stand what such a guaranty would be worth, but prohibition folks seem to think it would be a gem of security, and of purest ray serene. THE last regular monthly meeting of the Jamestown city council shows the same careful management of the city finances that has obtained during the last two years. There are no extrava gances to settle for, and tbe absence] of expensive schemes for franchises, and jobs, as well as bitter political contro versies, is noted with approval by every citizen and taxpayer. This is a very dif ferent state of affairs from what has prevailed not long since, and it is one that reflects great credit on the city, both at borne and abroad. THE transfer of the weather bureau to tbe agricultural department is now com plete. All tbe property has been trans ferred and 162 employee were discharged from the signal office. The men, how ever, will probably be reinstated by Sec retary Rusjf, as the law transferring the bureau provides that they should be given preference. Mark W. Harrington, editor of the American Meteorological Journal and a professor at Ann Arbor, Mich., has been appointed chief of the weather bureau. THE farmers of Minnesota have organ ized a people's party in dead earnest. The state of Minnesota needs just such a renovating as tbis third party only can give to the foul political condition that now prevails there. The events of the past year, the disclosures of the wheat steals, the utter recklessness of corpora tion agents in imposing on the people of the state will doubtless be lebuked at the next general election in an unmis takeable manner. THE twenty-five years that have elapsed since the war of the rebellion seem a long and rather misty past to the new generation that has grown up during that period. Lincoln, and his brief, but immortal career are wrapped in vague and indefinite memories in the minds of a majority of those who may still be termed "young people." Yet Hannibal Hamlin, who was vice president with Abraham Lincoln, has just died at his Maine home. IF it were necessary to decide by a lot tery whether Minneapolis would get the national convention or not, of course tbe city press would advise tbe people to have nothing whatever to do with it. The recollections of that ancient and evil vision from Louisiana,which once threat ened to spread a pall over the fair name and fame of North Dakota, are stilljkeen in the minds of the newspaper brethren and wardens of the twin cities. THE city of Galveston, Texas which is said to be built upon a sand bar, subject to overflow by high waves, felt its inse cure position in a recent storm. The government has given Galveston a real estate boom by appropriating a vast sum for a harbor, but nature is liable at any time to set at naught everything that has been done to make a seaport me tropolis of this southern and out of the way town. WITH 70,000 republican majority in Iowa it is a curious thing to hear U. 8. Senator Allison say in opening the state campaign, "This must be a fight and a fight to win, boys." There are grave doubts of the republicans winning, no matter how noble a tight they make, nn- "fflffwp less they throw overboard the Jonah that has swamped, and defeated them. THE Oakes Republican says, "It is now about time to commence outting down on the estimated wheat yield." During the last two weeks the continued heavy rains have done the wheat no good. There has not been enoagh sun shine and growing weather for the best progress of the crop and tbe season is rapidly nearing the frost period. THE Pioneer Press refers to the Fourth as "the day we desecrate." It begrudges the boys their freedom and their noisy explosives,and laments that the Declara tion of Independence was not signed on tbe 29th of February—so its celebration would be quadrennial instead of annual. This position of the P. P. is characteris tically selfish and illiberal. THE Benson County News says that "Even The Jamestown Alert now admits that prohibition prohibits," but does not say what. If the News means that pro hibition prohibits people of this place from getting and drinking whiskey, beer and various other liquors, The Alert does not admit it by a large majority. THERE IS talk of re-assembling the Washington legislature for tbe purpose of regulating the east ern grain rates charged by rail road companies. These rates are said to be excessive, and the Washington wheat grower can find no profit in his crop after shipment. THE bright and handsome Rolla Star retains its excellence as a weekly news paper under tbe exclusive management of Editor Parsons, who recently lost his old time associate H. H. Fritz, by retire ment from the firm. EIGHT car loads of binding twine were shipped to Wheatland the other day. This is eaid to be only one fifth of the amour required to bind the grain crop of Cass county. ALL the acts of the last legislature which passed without emergency clauses went into effect July 1st. Among these are several important laws. THE state of New Jersey publishes the new laws of the state in newspapers, that all who run may read. THE irrigation experts have retired from the field by order of Jupiter Pluvius. $100 Reward. $100.

Hall's Catarrh Cure is taken internally, acting directly upon the blood and mucous surfaces of tbe system, thereby destroying the foundation of the disease, and giving the patient strength by building up the constitution and assisting nature in doing its work.

That Is What the Spiritwood Lnke Encampment lias Developed Into, It Comes Bight for Farmers who Drive Eighty Miles to Attend. The Veterans Already Planning Increased Accommodations for Next Year. The G. R. Encampment. According to the program the six days encampment of the North Dakota Veterans association at Spiritwood lake, closed last Monday, but the attractions of the camp were such that many linger ed until yesterday, loth to leave tbe soene of so much enjoyment and needed reereation. The attendance was a great surprise to all. Last year it was thought large, but this year all estimates were confounded by the numbers who came to spend a few days with the veterans. A few figures will give an idea of the num ber of people present. There were fully 150 tents, several of them being of extra large size, and made the headquarters for 25 or 30 oocupants. All the tents were filled to their utmost capacity. Dur ing Friday and Saturday nights many were unable to find sleeping accommoda tions and bad to lie out under the trees. There were between 600 and 700 horses in the pasture and tethered in the vicinity of the camp, which munt have contained from 2,500 to 3,090 people. At a distance, the scene strongly re minded the soldiers of their army biv ouacs. Tbe white tents nestling under the dark green foliage, the flags flying in all directions, the horses quietly grazing or running in true horse play over the soft turf, with rows of wagons and buggies drawn up in irregular lines of breastworks, made a picture of a peace ful, but most attractive character. Many of the farmers came ia wagons from 50 to 80 miles. They brought a tent, cook ing utensils, provisions and their wives and babies. They came to stay and to enjoy themselves socially. They have remained on their prairie farms for many long weary months. Plenty of the visi tors had not been to any considerable town for two years. To escape from the monotony of living at long distances from neighbors, on tbe treeless prairie, was itself an intense delight. Business was thrown eside, cares of all kinds abandoned, and the faces of every man, woman and child were shining with hap piness and expectation, while Belf intro ductions *and mutual greetings were going on at every hand. Even the crop topic was abandoned. No one wanted to speak of any harassing incidents that have visited nearly every farmer's famil}, to a greater or less extent, during the last three years. Many farmers who came with their families this year were alone last, and many who came without their families this time will bring tnem next. There were only 100 veterans reg istered, and so it is seen that the big crowd is but the outpouring of the farmers of the state, bent on having a brief, but almost necessary recreation. This encampment is bound to become tbe largest annual farmers gathering in the state. It occurs in an at tractive place, in a central locality for a state meeting, and at a time when there is neither haying, plowing, nor harvest ing to prevent—nothing for the farmer at home to do, but chores. As a matter of fact it is doubted if county fairs in North Dakota can ever be the successes they are elsewhere, because the people have no time in the fall of the year to leave their work. Then everything is rushed, the harvest is on, threshing be ginning and every hour after that is needed before freezing up to plow and get ready for winter. But at this season of the year it is different. People can leave home, are anxious to do so, and no month of the summer gives such glorious invitations to outdoor life, and uniform pleasant weather as June. Then again it does not cost the farmer much cash to come to the camp. He travels by team, carries his own provisions, and it does not cost any more when in camp than on the road. Railroad fares are high and the families large. The farm horses are do ing nothing and it is no wonder that little colonies of three, four and even a dozen families from the same locality, 50 or 60 miles distant, make up a gay cara van and travel in company to the big camp to Bpend a week or more with their own kind of people. It requires but a glance to BIIOW the brightness, vivacity and good health of the prairie farmer, including his wife, and his girls and boys. The cut of the women's dresses is not that of tbe me tropolis, neither does tbe farmer himself Bhow the evidences of settled pros perity that are seen in the older and east A ern states. But be bas his health and in keenness of understanding, self-reliance and hopefulness, will take aback seat for no farming community in tbis country. In tbe line of amusements the veter ans had tbe usual camp fires each night excepting Wednesday, the first day. Besides the speaking, singing aad reci tations given on tbe platform, there were boat rides to take, swimming, swinging, fiishingand the perennial army stories to be told and re-told. There was no special effort to prepare any long liter ary programs, and the speeches were of the most informal character—talks and reminiscences more than anything else. In opening these exercises Thursday night the commander of tbe association, Comrade John Vennum of Jamestown, made a brief but happy address of wel come to the boys. He told them what each was expected to do to have a grand good time, to keep order, to be in bed at 12 o'clock or keep quiet so others conld sleep undisturbed. He warned all parties to obey the prohibitory laws, and prom ised due puuisbment if any were caught violating them. Comrade Yennum, who has been one of the leading spirits and boss fan makers of the camps heretofore, found his responsibilites too great this year to spread himself very much in that direction. He was untiring in his efforts to accommodate all comers, and to make their visit a pleasant one. As a mark of his signal success in this, be was re-elect ed commander of the association for an other year, without a dissenting vote ex cept his own. The other officers re elected were D. R. Swartwout, of Valley City, vice commander J. B. Williams, Steele, adjutant A. L. Drakeiy, Hope, quartermaater. Tbe executive commit tee elected consists of E. L. Calkins, W. W. Graves and E. S. Miller all of James town, the two former being re-elected. During the evening exercises of some character were in progress, on the plat form, but in the day time the people were content to visit, to eat and sleep and enjoy complete idleness. Among those who favored the audiences gather ed around the platform were Comrade King of Hope, Comrade Lang and Com rade Mayfield of Hope,who spoke briefly. Comrade Campbell of Wheatland, who is a good old fashioned singer, with a voice that has more fun to it than tune, 6ang a solo that would have contained 99 verses if the crowd bad consented. Miss May Miller, the little daughter of Col. E. S. Miller, gave two excellent recitations, her voice being clearly heard far from the t.tand. She was warmly compliment ed. Mis. C. W. Collinger and Miss Edith Brown of Cooperstown, sang sev eral solos and duets very acceptably Miss Stevens' 6ong was encored, while tbe song "The Old Maids of Lee" by Charles Boyce was was loudly applauded. Mr. Curry of Boscobel, Wis., a stranger, delivered a funny speech, hitting off the foibles of the veterans in a happy manner and keeping the boys in great glee for a long time. Hon. W. H. Roney, one of Steele county's well known members of the state legislature, addressed tbe people briefly, and Comrade Henderson got of an in teresting exposition on the gray back of war times. Mrs. Dr. Vidal of Fargo, the well known elocutionist, gave several character delineations and recitations in ber usual effective manner, and Major Harry Cornwall of Eldridge, produced short, but spirited Fourth of dress. Mrs. J. B. Brown July ad of Coopers' town, sister of Mrs. R. C. Cooper, also favored the audience with an excellent recitation. Hon. J. W. Goodrich of Jamestown, was one of tho entertaining speakers, while the redoubtable Comrade Boynton delivered a thrilling tale hbout Capt. Jack's Fourth of July. Among the others who did their share of public entertaining were Miss Geneva King and Miss Lowe of Hope, and Master Harry Edwards, and Mrs. Winslow, all in reci tations. Capt. Powell of Springboro, Pa., of tbe big live stock firm of Powell Bros, delivered a poem in fine style. In camp there were special efforts seen on all sides to make the occasion agree able for everyone. Few selfish traits cropped out, each one seemed too glad to see the other to let any annoying in fiuences have sway. The order of the camp was excellent throughout. One or two boot-leg whisky peddlers were caught tarly in the session and summar ily ejected and their vile compound confiscated. Not even the veterans went to the extreme length of letting alcoho lie stimulants rouse old time recollections as many of them in other states have been prone to do on occasions of this kind. The citizens and young men as rule were on good behavier—polite and gentlemanly at all times. This is a fea ture of the camp which tbe managers propose to have continued lti the future, without any variation whatever. The grounds have been leased from the state for five years. An effort is being made to have the government grant the spot of land, which consists of about 30 acres, to the association for purposes to which it is now devoted. A bill in con gress has been introduced for that pur pose. It is a beautiful and valuable location for tbe annual gathering of the people and its improvement will be marked freia this time on. Next year the veterans have decided to take the busi ness of feeding and sale of supplies into their own hands. All the army posts represented have agreed to stand by the arrangement, and if any money is made it goes to the association, which will also stand tbe losses, if any. It is proposed to erect a dancing pavilion—a lurge and satisfactory one. Thio will be a source of revenue end one of gratification to tbe younger element at the same time. Dancing was imperatively demanded this year, but only inadequate facilities furn ished. As nine-tenths of the visitors Children Cry For PITCHER'S Practically Perfect Preparation for Children's Complaints. '/iv *'a 'K •K I t. »,s ,v were fond of this amusement, tie scruples of a few of tbe older veterans bad to give way. Besides the dancing pavilion, there will be a frame building erected to be used as an eating bouse and for trucksters stands. There will also be built an ioe house, where an abundant supply of that neces sity can be obtained. An extra amount of pasturage will be secured for horses. The Veteran's association was increased this year by the addition of 78 members, who paid their annual dues of 50 cents each. Tbe full membership now com prises an even 100 men, and the following is tbe roster: Weldon, Farley, E Cal kins, Gaffney, Clinton Patterson, John Graham, George Porter, Robt Camp bell, Frank Bigelow, George Wood bury, Adron Burleson, W Kurtz, Har rison Bristol.

The com rades did all in their power to assist in making camp life agreeable. One delegation of nine wagons came from Cooperstown. The first wagon car ried a boat that was in great demand by the young folks of tbe party. There were several showers during the week, but no one was greatly discom moded or suffered from the wetness that followed. There were several good base ball games between Cooperstown, Pingree and picked nines. Comrade Russell made a good police man. The meal calls and church service were announced by the bugle. The ser mons Sunday by Rev. Whitelaw and Baldwin were excellent discourses, listened to by large audiences. Tbe veterans had a full dress parade at 5 o'clock, on the Fourth, aud their photograph was taken by Judd of James town. Many groups were photographed during the week, there being three pho tographers kept busy in this work. Friday and Saturday nights there were dances given in the large barn of the Gray Bros, ranch, near the camp. These occasions were largely attended and greatly enjoyed. The Jamestown orchestra furnished tbe musio for one of the hops, and the boys were well repaid for their trouble. Every attention and accommodation was tendered the dancers by Mr. and Mrs. Jack Gray and assist ants. Next year there promises to be a larger attendance than ever. Every visitor reports a glorious time, and has agreed to recommend tbe trip to his neighbor. It is more than probable that every county east of the Missouri will be well represented in next year's camp, the date of which has yet to be determined.
