around Besau, who is a fighting man, and threw
of his coat, containing all his money, except the
price of three horses he had bought: and the gold
was taken out of his pocket by some scoandrel
who picked up the coat.
We are told that there is plenty of good land +,

We learn that the cranberry crop is promising
this being the bearing year. But the market for
this kind Of fruit is now so extensive, tba, it is
doubtful whether 1t can be fully supplied. The
berries are mostly picked by squaws, although
cranberry rakes are beginning to be used. Gran
bar dealers go to the marshes with supplies Of
bread, flour, calicoes. and whatever is wanted for
the Indian trade, and exchange their goods by
barter with the squaws, as they bring in their
sacks of cranberres. This business commences
in September, and may continue until the marsh

from Saint Paul. more than 1000 bushels Of

The State OF Minnesota.

Our Territory has this peculiarly, in re-
gard to its boundaries novel feature la
Territories Of the North West-that 1t is
limited When Indiana became Sttte,
every part of the territory west of II, re-
manned 10 form new territory. The vast
Northwest territory, established by the
ordinance Of 1897, as well as the territory
Of Louisiana, of which Minnesota west Of
of the Mississippi, is now exhausted, or
embraced within the limits of States, or or
ganized territories. Out of the North. w est
territory have been carved Ohio, Indiana,
Illinois, Michigan, Iowa, Wisconsin,, until
the remainder is narrowed dowu to Mime
sofa, which is bounded North 10y British
America, and West by Nebraska. The
rapid formation Of these new territories,
one after another, and their settlement and
admission as States, has swept along in its
progress, nearly all the remnants Of Indian
nations who once inhabited the wide North
West. They, the various nations of Da-
koias, the Chippewas, the Winnebagoes,
are now driven up here together into a cor
ner. ii seems to be the policy OF the Gov
eminent, 10 herd these nations conpacrly
here together (he Stockbri,lges and the
Meaomonees are coming also.) In fact,
they have been hurried up here as ii were
into an eddy, by the in-rushng flood of I'M
migration, and there is no where else tor
them to go. Now, there ought 70 be forev-
err set apart, portion of Minnesota Terri
tory, for.these hunted tribes to inhabit.-
We propose that they take all that part Of
our Territory, west of the Mississippi and
north of line drawn due west from the
mouth Of Crow river, md west to the Mis-
souri, river. Its good country, well adap-
ted to agricultural and grazing purposes,
where, if settled, they will be more separ-
ated from The whites than they could be in
any other possible location, having The Mis-
sissipp river to separate them on the East,
the Missouri on tue West, and the British
Indian settlements on the North. Mime
sofa will then remain of moderate size, and
OF u suitable shape to make one State. 1t
will give Minnesota way to Lake Supe-
iior; and it's limits cas-. and west will! he
from the St. Croix TO the Mssouri--the MIS-
sissippi dividing part Of the State,a s it does
Louisiana. The idea of making State as
small and narrow and feeble, as the terri
tory lying east OF the river, would consti-
tute alone, is most absurd and is one that
Congress will never for moment enter
tain.
Let the Government set off the portion
we describe, for Indian purposes, and put
it under separate, distinct Indian govern
ment, simple, cheap, prompt adminissra-
ton OF law provided for them by the Com
missioner of Iydiaa Affairs, and let the resi-
due of the Territory be admitted as soon as
it is admissible as State. That is the way
the thing ought to be done. 1t will meet
the views of Mnnesotians, aud it will com
mend itself as a sensible and proper plan,
to every man who will take down his map
aud look at the subject impar,ially.

The Dakota Friend says cit was for
mer'y the custom Of the Dskotas, to lay the
bodies Of their dead with the head to the
east. At the present time the heads of the
dead are laid towards every point, from
east around 10 the south. This, perhaps
indicates corresponding change in their
belief concerning the location of the spirit
land. Dako,as generally believe that the
SOIL goes to the South.
