Dakota has a population Of nes
ly 100000 people, and is kept IN
territorial position because the den
ocrats in Congress do,sn0t Want
add ~ the Republican strength IN
the U. s. Senate. The territory is
not divided, as it should be on the
46 parallel, making two territories of
about $4,000 square miles each, be-
cause the Democrats do not want to
lay the foundations Of two Repub-
lican States. Dakota will probably
be divided and the southern portion
admitted as a state in 1881. The
the two sections have no common
interests and no common sympa-
thies. The line of separation is as
distinct as that between Minnesota
and Missouri, and the people,
with almost one voice, demand a
separation.

ED. CouR1ER:-Last Friday after
noon a merry party Of boys and girls
started from Pleasant Grove on q
fishing expedition to the Sioux.
After an hour and half's drive the
party arrived at the Big Sioux Mill,
and found some gentlemen from the
city occupying the field. After a
desperate siege the Elk Pointers
were defeated and the Pleasant
Grove party left in sole possession
Of the grounds. The evening was
delightful. and the fish were game.
The party rose the following morn
ing before the birds began to sing
and found their lines loaded with
fish. Some Of the party climbed
Pixies Hill, from the summit Of
which they viewed the beautiful
rich valley for miles around. The
fine city Of Elk Point nestled cozily
in the valley, surrounded by thrifty
farms, the villages Of Richland and

full and picturesque appearance,

Eden, May 21st 1880
EDITORS COURIER AS my last
effort to your paper from this section
was SO kindly received, l have ven
tured to write again, hoping that
this letter will meet with an equally
kind reception.
Last week was a lively one in this
thriving village-in fact the best
week for a long time. Sedgwick
Bros. were buying hogs and ship
ping them to Chicago, and this and
the recent rains which raise the spir-
its of all parties greatly, had the ef-
feet of making business good. Crops
are looking splendidly just now,
an immenset acreage of corn was
planted, and the whole amount of
wheat, oats and fax is up to the u.s.
ual number of acres. Eden is con-
siderably excited just now over the
anticipated pulling up the track of
the G. M. Il St. p. road between
Rock Valley and Canton, and trains
running north and west by the way
ofEden. The prospects are good for
this move being accomplished, as
the road by the way of Eden is near
ly level, while between Rock Valley
and Canton the grade is fifty-three
feet to the mile for several miles,
and an engine has constantly to be
kept out on the hills to help the
trains over. It is claimed here that
the reason that the road was built
to Canton instead of down the val
Of the Rock as it should have been,
was that a near relative Of Chief En-
gineer Kimbal lived in Canton and
owned considerable property there.
Do you catch on? But any rate the
Canton folks are mighty blue, and
the inhabitants Of the garden are
feeling several inches taller. The
track from Rock Valley is laid to
to the Rock river, three miles away,
and is there waiting for the span of
the bridge to be finished. We ex-
pect the trains to steam up to the
depot in about one week more direct
from Milwaukee. The decision Of
the supreme court on the Yankton
county bond case, gives that county
100000 of stock to dispose of, and
it is probable that John l Blair may
get a whack at it and in case he does
you can look out for music. The
proposed line between here and
Yankton will then be built and
perhaps another to Sioux City,
Who knows7
Politics are quiet in this county,
but any one can see that they only
want q little stirring to create q ter
rifle odor. The same old story
The county seat again the balanct
Of the county, and the chances
in favor Of the latter. The dele
gate question is not talked o
much. Pettigrew has some persona
friends around Canton and the NORTH
part Of the county who think his .
bilities as a poker player entitle hin
to q nomination for delegate, but tn
southern and western part dom tax,
much stock in him.
Almost every day abig delegation
Of Union county farmers are to b
seen on our streets. They COM
