We have been favored with a copy of ti e
Bismarck Tribune published at Bismarck,
Dakota Territory. This Is located at, if
not the '-end ol tho world," at least the end
orcivllizition In the direction of the Rocsy
mountains. -
Bismarck Is an enterprising littls town o(
about tbres hundred inhabitants, but grow,
log fast, lis socieiy Is not the most select,
but the men are all enterprising, and able
10 rnn several establishments at once, even
11 tbey are of different characters, as witness
the to How Ing ltm from the piper:
Llmpy Jack is Secretary of the Sunday
school oritanigitm i at Jamestown. He is
finely eduoated in to and a thorough sa-
oon keeper believ tbl It requires some
hint In addition io the whiskey interest to
build up a town.
The editor denies the following Item pub
lished In the St Paul Dispalcb:
Oo each side of the clergymen, farobsnks
were io steady operation, and though the
players were quietly intent on tbeir busi
ness, yet the rattling of tbeir ivory chip,
was distinctly to be beard in the pauses of
the prayer and sermon. Ooe of the lucky
im biers said he admired the pliyrk of tbe
gospel sliDfe."Dd it a hat had been
passed lor him be would bave dropped in a
big slake off bis pile of chips.
lie says lb it church was held In a hall
originally erected for a gambling salooo but
now used lor all publio purposes, lie also
says of a man who shot another; "although
gambler, be is very much of a gentle-
mad."
Tbe visitors at the printing office are very
select, as we read that among the callers,
was "Bear's Ear, a noble led man, who lool'.
over. too presses wilb a great deal ot in
terest,"
Buildings go up very rapidly In Bismarck.
People who bave lived through (be winter
in tents are now ereotlng bouses. The fol
lowing item will give some idea pf the build
ings there and bow tbey are "rusbed up:'
Tbe Tribune building 2930 was com,
rneuexd Wednesday morning; by Saturday
completely enclosed, windows, doors, and
floor in and the office, including a Taylor
Cylinder Press and a Quarter Medium Got
don Jobber, set up ready for business, and
one and a half columns of type lor tbe papor
set.
And thus the new city is built up. Ooe
year ago the first building was started, and
new seventy are ereoted. and io two months
heice, tt will bojst of 2,500 inhabitants.
Vankeenergy, perseverance and enterprise
is developed everywhere, and soon hundreds
of such towns will be springing up along tbe
various railroad routes ol tbe great west.

That there is oil bore, and that of tbe
