It is the duty of both Gover
do this and to reduce the burd
producers. Farming, which i
soirees of wealth, must be
most profitable occupation in
try; before the country can be expected
to become truly prosperoui. Young
men Would then cease to leve the farm
to become school teachers; government
officials, doctors, lawyers; &c., neither
would they be so read e to hear the call
to preach the Gospel.. IIn fact, if this
condition of things existed, the " calls "
would all be to leave the overcrowded
professions and overdone businesses and
return to farming, the d, ource of wealth,
and earn a good, honeet, profitable and,
independent living, tivith the use of
machinery instead of, as formerly, by

NOrth Dakota.
(Written for The Expositor.)
Twenty years ago lest December the
first land was filed on for permanent
settlement in North Dakota by Mr.
Charles Cavalier, a native of Illinois,
and who is still a residlent of Pembina
City. This claim wai located at the
confluence of the Red and Pembina riv-
ers. The land k now :iart of ' and ad-
joinjog the original town site of the city
of Pembina. Note the .advancement :
1870, no eettlers ;189, 200,000 actual
residents; 1870, no wheat; 1890, 35,-
000,000 bushels. Twenty years back-
ward is short in tine, bat has been
great in achievement, arid twenty years
hence w_ho shall prophery its capabilit-
ies, ite possibilities or its probabilities.
The opportunities are as grand, the
prospects are far brighter, the 'founda-
tion of morality, education and thrift is
Jaid, and an ere, of unparalleled prpgreas
has already begun.
As North Dakota is ether too large
a field for the preien letter, I shall
;
confine myself to Pembina county. This
county comprises a traet of land about
forty miles square, situitted in the .ex-
treme north east cornerlef the State. It
lies entirely within the limits of the Red
River Valley, with the 'exception of an
elevated plateau on the i western bound-
ary, familiarly known as the Pembina
Mountains. The county is well water-
ed by the Tongue andI Pembina rivers,
along the banks of which sufficient tim-
ber abounds to supply the settlers with
fuel for years to eome.i The principal
towns are Pembina, the county eeat,and
Drayton, on the eastern boundary : St.
Thomas, Hamilton, Bathgate and Nacho
in the centre, and Crystal, Cavalier
and Walhalla on the west. The princi-
pal industry is wheat raising, of which
it is estimated there was about 4,000,-
000 bushels grown last Year. When -you
consider that not over I one half of the
land is under oultivatiOn the possibili-
ties. of even this coniny ere beyond

longing to the State, located in this
county, two sections id each township,
are to be sold by public auction on the

fifth of the purchase money cash, one-

ary each year the purchaser must pay
the annual interest at the rate of six

at is th s: Not another mixed farming

—The Boissivain, Manitoba, Globe
says: Wheat of this year's growth,
measuring 41 inches, was left at the
Globe office on Saturday, April 18th, by
Mr. George Morton. It was sown on
the 3rd of April, at Lake Max, a few
miles south of Boissevain„ to test the
germinating powers of a sample of
wheat, and Mr. Morton is highly pleased
with the result. What section of coun-
try can beat this? Fifteen days from

inches in height. It would appear se
though the soil in and around this dis-
trict beats the earth for 'rapid and heavy
growth. •

Saturday by Mr. Cameron, the jailer, at
L'Original. In the cell of the condemnt
ed murdereaLarocque,was found a blade
of a penknife, sharpeeed to an edge as
sharp as a razor's, which was concealed
under the mattress of his bed. Although
Larocque has been most well-behaved and
good•humored since his conviction, it is
plain that he had suicide in his thoughts
and that he intended using the knife -
blade with which to end his life. The
blade was taken away and Larocque left
without any means of self-destruction.
He eats heartily and sleeps well, and
seems little disturbed by the prospect of
his approaching death on the scaffold. He
has not as yet spcken any word of con-
fession that he is goilty of the terrible
crime for which he has been sentenced
to be hanged.
