A Disappointed Immigrant. During the early'days in the Black Hills, the writer has seen eastern tenderheels rive in Deadwood one day and leave the next, disgusted with the country because they couldn't rake up nuggets of gold in every gulch, ravine and byway, as they ly hoped to do. This character of verdancy he thought was: only to be encountered in a mineral camp. In this, however, he was mistaken. There seems to be idiots for every region.

The first one of the season in Bismarck returned to his mamma Saturday morning. He expected to find a delegation of merchants and bankers at the depot to offer him a situation upon his. arrival, and also to be able to locate a section of choicest government land within the city limits. This verdant yoAth and a local statesman met at the Merchants Friday evening. by which title the old resident will be designated, asked the young man from the east if he had come to stay, to whichhe replied: "Yes," if he could find land and employment.

B. te ls him o. land, acres and acres of itj in different directions, advises him to look at it, and assures him that, as soon as he comes acquainted there will be no difficulty in securing a situation, to which he answers: have already taken a walk out half a mile north 6f the city, and found the land all taken. I have not found a claim yet, and no one has offered me employment. I understand yon to say that you came last evening? sir.

in twelve hours yon have not found a choice government joining the city! and no one has called on you to fer you a remunerative situation? sir, and 1 am discouraged so much that I will certainly return to Kansas in the morning. you have a speedy and pleasant trip, sir. There is no room for men of your kidney in this region. The homesick young man left Saturday morning for the grasshopper belt of sas. Sot a Pumpkin Country.

One of those down east Smart of those seeds who have never been beyond the limits of their native county half a dozen times, was in Bismarck last week. Of course he regarded the people of the frontier as norant barbarians, legitimate subjects upon whom to exercise his superior acuteness. He imfl been in Bismarck-less than twelve hours, undertook to tell those who had been ten years all about the soil in this tion. He didn't like anything or anybody in the west, and remarked that the land bouts was so poor that it wouldn't grow pumpkins. "Won't grow did you say my friend remarked R.

R. Marsh, whose most indifferent hyperbolical expressions contain more sense' than the combined wisdom ever leaked by. all the. Smart Alecks who have come the past twenty years. "That's whai said," repeated the S.

"You're right, too," continued Marsh "pumpkins can't be raised on this soil. It's too rich. The vines grow so rapidly that the pumpkins are broken to pieces by being dragged over the ground by the growing vines. This ain't a pumpkin country, my friend." GLEXDIVE What is Betas Done at the stone Metropolis. GLENDIVE, M.

Mar. Chas. Shaffer, returning from the 6r.os Ventre trading camp reports ex citement there. Some Sioux Indians stole several horses from the camp, and the Gros Ventres followed and came up with them on Crtckerbox creek. Thev succeeded in recovering the stock and killing three of the thieves, but at a loss to themselves of one dead and three seriously hurt.

There was only one of Sioux armed. There is great activity at Iron Bluff, nine miles west of here, as the work at that point is not finished, and the neers are afraid of the diee being washed away. They are working a large force of meD day and night, to make things secure, and with what success will be known in a short time. Two of our merchants are about to erect buildings for stores, be built of stone, taken om a quarry a short dis tance from town. These are the kind of men we need.

They take advantage of the situation and build with the rial at hand. The river threatens to break soon at this point, and in view of the damage done by the last break up, we take this hance to warn the woodmen to be on the lookout. lianchmen from down the river report spring breaking being done on several ranches. The hotels are crowded to their utmost capacity. What we need is a large hotel to accommodate the increasing travel.

Parties are claim-hunting every day. Twelve quarter sections were located since Monday. Government land within five miles of town is nearly all claimed. The trains arrive daily well filled. Those from the east are bringing large numbers of home seekers.

Keep on coming, the Yellowstone country is large. We Ihe county officials are going to have an investigation about the shooting ot the man Mansfield, last Friday. Pete Larson has arrivyd in town with fifty-six head of mules for the extension. Pete is a iustler. Joe Pennell is looking our city over.

Our liotel'men have iucreasetl the price of board. Buff" is getting scarce, they say. High ball poker draws a crowd nightly. Usual fights and lots- of booze. W.

W. Comford is at Keith buying hides. The new sidewalk near Douglass's is aa improvement. A Trip from Peck to Bismarck. A frontiersman just down from the per country, reports everything serene in that enlightened region.

The Indians have enjoyed the mild a id open winter, together with their government rations, very extensively, and are happy, peaceful aud contented. The scenes, incidents and chances of an overland trip from Fort Peck to Bismarck are not at the present time what they were ten years ago. The TRIBUNE'S informant, who made the journey in 1872, says it was a dangerous undertaking but now it is as safe as going front' one saloon to other, and safer, as a man is not liable to become paralyzed. The royally lazy bucks were everywhere seen basking in the sunshine, while their squaws were rustling. An Indian is thorough loafer.

He regards the squaw as his legitimate slave, and all the ual labor must be performed by her Labor is beneath hio dignity. The true Indian wouM rather take his chances in a bloody bittle than hoe a hill of corn. ThjB "woodhawks" along the river are getting out a large quantity of fuel for tl steambbat trade. Every timbered point, our informant assures us, is pied by a wood yard. The have been industrious during the winter.

They have' been working for a stake, and the result of their industry will be flush times'on pper Missouri. The stock al the many posts and ranches is looking fine, and what is still better the herds are rapidly increasing in Considerable game was seen on the route. (fy Model of a Locomotive Received. The officers of the Bismarck, Mouse River, Turtle Mountain and Manitoba railroad company yesterday received a model of an engine fom one of the leading locomotive manufactories at Patterson, N. J.

The model came by express. It represents a comotive that is warranted to make steam enough with our native coal'to blow the whole thing out of existence, it having a newly invented furnace -attatchment for the burning of lignite. The railroad company will probably open negotiations for the chase of two of these one ger ana one freight. They have reoeived so many propositions from locomotive factories that it has become a difficult ter to determine which one tj patronize. These lignite burners, however, seem, to have captured the fancy of the officers.

BOARD OF TRADE. ceipt fi The ft Board's Sew Departure All About it Given Below. In apparent defiance of the snow storm of Saturday evening a good ty ot the directors of the ot Commerce met at the hall of the chamber and answered to the prompt calling of the roll. the absence of the president Vice-President Fairchi occupied the chair. Director Marsh, from the special- mittee on guides and conveyances for prospectors, reported that 200 cards of formation' posting in hotels and pots east had been ordered by the mittee.

The secretary and treasurer of the mittee on immigration were respectively instructed to report at, the next meeting (Saturday evening next) upon the work in the line of advertising the condition of the treasury, and the'number and acter of the letters' of inquiry received. It agreed that the secretary (which he has been doing) should Keep a list of the names of inquirers and the postoffice addresses, for future reference and the general information of the chamber at laige that the letters themselves be kept on file at the room of the chamber for the personal inspection of all members of tiie chamber at any time they may desire that the president hire a janitor and keep the hall open, lighted and heated every evening from 6 o'clock to 10 clock. Upon motion a general request was ex tended to the members the chamber at large to visit the hall any and every even ing ibey can and assist the secretary in opening, assorting and answering his tensive correspondence. It is hoped that members will not be slow to respond to this invitation, as the secretary's work is alr ady no smalt job, and as the business of the United States land office is getting his leisure time is growing beautifully less. He will be at the hat evening at 8 o'clock, after the mail is distributed, and will have ihe big table covered with stationery, ink, pens, paper wrappers, stacks of the "boom" edi lion oi the TKIBUNE, the immigration fund receipt books, the membership books, the settlers' record, etc.

He will receive subscriptions due, lees due, and intioduce the prospectors and investors to the members of the chamber who take advantage of this reeular ing entertainment. Go and see the "boom." Keep up the interest and don't forget that advertising pays. Messrs. Hare, Rea, Call and Marsh have ed a committee to receive the unpaid scriptions to the immigration fund, and turn the same over to Treasurer Weaver. The secretary was authorized to rent ihe large box in the postoffice for the clusive use of the mail matter of the Chamber of Commerce.

Alter adjournment to 8 o'clock day evening next the directors resolved themselves into a committee on pondence, and prepared over a hundred responses before quitting. SECRETARY Frontier Poverty. In the eulogy on Gen. Garfield, exSenator Blaine draws a picture between city aud frontier poverty that is as spiring to the frontiersmen as it is true. The conditions aie very widely separated The poverty of the frontier is as grand as the poverty of a city is humiliating and degrading and if the perusal of the lowing paragraph does not inflate the necks ofBurleigh county pioneers, just a little at least, then they have no pride and are to be pitied: The poverty of the frontier is indeed no poverty.

It is but the beginning- of wealth, and has the boundless possibilities ot the future always opening before it. No man ever grew up in the tural regions of the west where a house raisingcr even a corn-husking is a niatier of common interest and helpfulness, with any other feeling than that of a broadminded, generous independence. Thfs honorable independence marked the youth of Garfield as it marks the youth of millions of the best bioocl mid brain now training for the future citizenship and future government of the republic. field was born heir to land, to the title of freeholder which has been the patent and passport of self respect with the Anglo Saxon race ever since Hengist. and Horsa landed on the shores of Englan t.

A Coop of Blooded Fowls. E.

T. Winston, of Fort Stevenson, is a chicken fancier. He has a coop of brown Cochin China and white-created Black ish birds at J. W. Raymond store for shipment to that post.

Fine chickens are desirable for the frontier. They exercise a more civilizing influence over the natives bulldogs, which generally constitute the first shipments of thoroughbred stock to border settlements. $25 TO $50 BER DaY can easily be made by using the celebrated Victor Well Anger and Rod Boring maehiftery. in any part of the country.
