Fargo Argus: At the assembling of the house of repesentatives iu. Washington each morning, immediately after roll call, the speaker asks the question: "Are the visiting statesmen from the Golden Northwest—the land of the Dakotas—present?" The response comes from a hundred hoarse, thirsty throats: "We are all here, from the roaring Red, the mnddy Missouri, from Yankton and Sioux Falls. We are the howling coyotes from the blizzard-swept plains'of the glorious North west" The speaker then calmly ol'Berves: "Let the troublo of the day begin." The school superintendent of Sully county says: "A May-day picnic will be held on the first day of MaySt Llewellyn Park, when every boy and girl of school age will lmvo the privi lege of selecting a young tree to plant on any school grounds, church yard or any where tliey choose. They can carve their name on tho rind and watch its development for twenty, fifty, or even 100 years, and 6ee to what mag nificence it may attain. The lass of school age who brings tho best original essay on botany will be crowned Queen of May, to be awarded by a committee elected for the occasion. To those coming from a distance, tents and campB will be supplied, so tliat by bringing a good supply of blankets you can tarry comfortably for a night. The plats of towns 155-65, 155-6(1,155-H7, 156-05,156-66 and 156-67, were received at tho land office at Devil's Lake last week. Only one more town [147-67, in Foster county] of last season's survey, remains to come in. It is expected to como in iu about three weeks. Ben. Corbiu, who is called the "boss wolf hunter of the northwest," and who is from Iowa, spent tho winter up at Sims,' west of Maudau, and reports that while there he killed forty-seven door, thirteen beavers, and two wild-cats. He took back with him eight deer heeds, some of which had magnificent antlers. On the Grandin farm are 248 horses and mules, all kept on hay alone and in fine con dition. Mandan has 2,500 inhabitants. Farmers are up in arms against elevator men, and alleged misrepresentation. Hon. Geo. R. Wendling will invest in Da kota land. The membership of the Republican territori al convention to beheld in Huron, will bo com posed of 125 delegates from southeastern Da koti, 88 from north Dakota and 17 from the Black Hills—230 in all. 0. D. Ellis has returned to La Moure after several months spent in the east and reports that 250 people have left ono village in Ontario for the northwest, most of them for Dakota and Minnesota. He thinks more will come to north Dakota than ever before. James O'Herron, of Buffalo county, has been arrested by U. S. Marshall Wilson charged with forging a name to a pre-emption filing. The Minto Journal has had a visit from Dave Kennedy, who is located about 150 miles south west of the Turtle mountains, engaged in farm ing and' stock -raising. He says that it is as fine a country for raising stock as one could wish, an'd that there is but little trouble wintering, as there is plenty of good timber, for both shelter and fuel. Casselton Reporter: The Schofield farm, comprising 2,865 acres, situated near Blanchard, was recently sold to Buffalo (N. Y.) capitalists for $50,000. Two thousand acres are ready for crop. Aberdeen Republican: A hearing is to be had at the Creelsburg laud office, in the matter of the pre-emption claims of the Ward boys, who were killed last year. Dr. Ward, admin istrator 'in behalf of the heirs, files a protest against the final proof of A. A. Hansliaw. This is of special interest as it involves the rights of heirs of a decased squatter on unsur veyed government lands. It is said that no similar case has ever been before the general land office. The fact that the magnificent school fund of Dakota cannot be used till a state is founded, is one of the main incentives to statehood. One of the papers says of it: "When Dakota becomes a state she will have one of the richest school funds of any state in the Union, from the sale of her BChool lands. Until then our public schools must be supported entirely by direct taxation. It is not surprising, therefore, that all friends of the public schools are in favor of statehood. This would not only great ly lessen the heavy school tax now borne, but would at the same time increase the fund for school purposes many fold." Tho Huron Times has this: At E. N. Toucey's feed store on Wisconsin street is a 6ack of rye labeled "Goose Rye." It has quite a little his tory which runs in this way: "In the crop of wild gpose killed in Montana years ago was found thirteen grainB of rye, eleven of which were planted by a Mr. Dukes, of Sturgis, Law rence county, Dakota, and last season he had sixty pounds of the rye which he sowed on a triflle over one acre of ground, and from it threshed 120 bushels." The kernal is clear, hard, and of immense size. The editor of the Forest City Press is taken down with the Dakota complaint, and breaks out in this way: "Ye editor is burning hiB midnight oil now singing 'Baby Mine' to a twelve-pound young lady who came to stop with us last Tuesday morning. The mother is happy and the father will pull through. Now that we have a nursery attached to our sanc tum, we are prepared to write most lucidly upon all the higher and sublimer subjects of life." Mr. Dawes will, as soon as the educational bill is out of the way in the senate, seek an op portunity to get up the bill to open up the Sioux reservation. He says he is prepared to press it and will do so on the first opportunity he gets. Excitement at the Lisbon gold mines is on the increase. The Mouse River Carrlngton News. Mr. Ezra W. Cartwright is down from Ante lope lake this week, and gives a graphic de scription of that region. He claims thatit will prove to be the richest section of North Dakota, with its vast natural resources of hay-meadows, pasture, wheat-land, coal and timber. He says it only needs a railroad to open it up, to show its possibilities. Most of the white squat ters are frontiersmen from Iowa and Minneso to, who are already accumulating considerable herds of cattle and pouies, and long bofore the country is in the market they will lie rich men. The Wintering river is so called from its hav ing been in the "old" times a favorite locality for the Indians to winter their ponies iu. It is sheltered by the high sand-hills, has plenty of timber, and unlimited pasture. The cattle are fed, but not stabled, in this section, and are all fat Even where they have free access to good buildings, they do not seek tbep), and as often lie out iu the timber as under a roof. The ponies rustic for themselves and are not fed at all. The pony business is the newest craze among the squatters, and extravagant ideas are entertained with regard to ralues and profits, about seventy-five dollars being now ap average price, while a year or two ago a couple could be bought for that money. Mr. Cart wright has spent most of the winter iu trapping, with a party of three others, and reports a goo4 catch. Otter, beaver, mink, badger and skunk, are the principal furs, and, of these, large num bers, are caught On his first trip, leaving Antelope lake for Lake Sheyenne on the twen- tlcth of November, they found no game for three days, and lived on badger. On the fifth day out they found a man eating his pony, and we think we would prefer pony to badger, al though we have not tried either. Atwiut New Years, they camped on Mouse River in a com mon cauvas tent with the thermometer thirty five below zero. On January twenty-third he had rather a rough experience, (tot lost among the Dog-Den sand-hills, had to tramp most of tho night finally dug a hole in tho snow, and rolled himself iu his blankets aiid buffalo-coat, and so spent tho night, with tho thermometer thirty below zero. Fish are so abundant in the Mouse that the settlers catch tlieui by tons to feed their hogs with, and swine thrive on them. MS Cartwright says there is a fine outcrop of coal oil Antelope lake, and that Carrington can lie supplied with all its fuel from Hint point which is only seventy-five or eighty miles distant He proposes to open up a vein as an experiment next summer. Ir. Falk and His (iiiiim.v-Sarli. It has now leaked out that tho strange ap pearance or Dr. E. N. Falk, of Caledonia, and his gunny-sack, which we made mention of last week, was significant It will lie remem bered that a few weeks ago we donounced the Fargo, Larimore & Northern R. R., which was to strike May vilie and gobble up the old Cassel ton Branch grade, north of Mayvilie, as a hum bug, gotten up by designing persons for swin dling purposes. It will also be remembered that tho notorious Joliu Fiittie was einpiojod to do the dirty work for the thieving' crew by obtaining from the owners of land along the grade the right of way f«.r the same. This work John has been industriously engaged in for nearly two months, obtaining deeds, not in the name of any incorporated railroad, but in the name of individuals, and this solely for the pnrpose of compelling the Manitoba R. R. Co. to buy the right of way in which the grade is located at au exhorbltaut price. It turn: out now that the Manitoba folks have found out the steal which is being perpetrated upon them, and have employed Dr. Falk to procure the right of way along their grade. We also have it from good authority that Jim Hill is pretty thoroughly disgusted with tho action of the Mayvilleites in regard to the mat ter aud will punish them by tearing up the side tracks there and crossing the Goose river west of Portland aud locating another town about five miles northwest of Mayvilie. When will the people of the west-end find out the true character of John F\itt\e?—Hillaboro Banner. That eminent authority ou all subjects it touches, the Scientific American, says these words on arboriculture: So small would be the money outlay, so inconsiderable the labor required, to ensuro for the next generation a wealth of tiineber laud equal to that of which we have the benefit, aud shade and shelter trees in even more adequate supply, that it is a great wonder to us, amid all the forcible facts brought forward against the rate at which forest destruction is going on, there has been no more general movement iu favor of tree-planting. Iu Germauy and Austria, for upward of half a century, the number of trees planted has borne a good proportion to those annually cut down, and it is certain that this is the case now year by year. In France, Italy aud England, also, tree-culture is now general, and is held to be a most important matter of public concern. But hero, with the characteristic improvidence which has come to be a marked feature of the American char acter, we are destroying our virgin forests with a rapidity never before equaled in any other country, and without taking any measures to insure their future growth. Turtle Mountain Mines. There is a growing impression that the re ported mineral resources of the Turtle moun tains aro not exaggerated. The Grand Forks Plaindealer says: The results that have at tended the prospecting at the mountains that have thus far been done seem to have given sufficient encouragement to warrant the ex penditure of vast sums of money in securing, apparatus with which to carry on the work In the most systematic manner. Such indica tions seem almost positive. It iB also.stated by miners of experience that there is every reason to believe that the districts will develop in no remote day into mines of uutold wealth They are at present attracting more attention than is generally supposed and from such parties as would inspire confidence. The rush that is ex pected there as soon as the snow is gone is very great. In au article on the mineral resources of the Devii'B Lake country, the Graud Forks Plain dealer has this to say about the discovery of coal at a point about 50 miles northwest of Hope: "The question of there being coal in the vicinity of Stump Lake admits of no doubt Coal which, upon examination, lias been pro nounced the best quality of anthracite, has been discovered there. Jim Hill's conversa tion on the subject was enthusiastic, and from what statements he made could be readily in ferred that he had made discoveries which, in a short time will startle the community. An Arkansas editor bids farewell to his read ers thusly: "We do not leave this community with any regret We are glad to go. We have not received due patronage from this town, consequently we aro pleased to throw up the journalistic sponge. It is the custom of editors to say that they part with their contemporaries with regret. We do" not We are devilish glad to quit We have been branded as a thief, and it has been proven that we are a thief consequently we have no regrets at part ing. Those who owe us are expected to settle at their earliest convenience those whom we owe must wait" "J)e nigger dat tries ter ack like a white man is ter be pitied," says Uncle Mose "but de white man dat tries ter ack like a nigger aiu't desarvin' ob sympathy."
