DAKOTA FINANCES The Yankton Press and Dako-
taian says: 1t fact most editable to the nan-
that there are now no unpaid territorial warrants
outstanding, the last having bee cashed on the
25th of March. The treasurer has S35,49o. 76
of territorial funds in his possession. OF course
this exhibit does not include the indebtedness for
insane asylum and penitentiary purposes, which is
provided for by territorial bonds. Mr.. McVay, in
his capacity treasurer, has made special part
of his duty to draw in all warrants and cash them
and thus stop the interest. The excellent financial
condition of Dakota is matter of general congratu-
lation aud reflects great credit treasurer of
the territory and the financial officers of the vari
GUS counties. 1t shows general thing, prompt
payment of taxes aud faithful application of public
funds.
Dakota territory outranks thirty five states of the
UNION III Tue prOuuctlou OF BOlu IL twenty
nine states in the production of silver; in miles of
railway twelve states: in wheat, fifteen states in
oats, ten states; in corn, four states in hogs

REAL ESTATE TRANSFERS.
As an indication of how our land is being
sought after and the ruling price paid, we
append the following list of transfers that
were filed for record in the office ofregis-
ter of deeds for this county, of land sold
during the month of March, as furnished
for publication by Mr.. Filing Opsal, regis
ter of deeds. 1t is proper to state that
on some of the land sold there is mort
gage, and when this is added to the price
paid or subject to mortage, the showing
is good This is why the price paid on
some of the land appears low.

CANTON.

This is the shire town Of Lincoln
county and is justly styled the
gateway to Southeastern Dakota. Can
ton deserves more than a passing notice,
for it has the advantages and its natural
location will be the means of drawing cap
italists to it. A writer in a recent issue Of
periodical sets it before the public in
such a true light that we make the follow
ing extracts therefrom
Canton is nicely located OH second
bench sloping toward the south, on the
west bank of the Big Sioux River, giving
the town a commanding and beautiful
view of the Valley of the Sioux. The site
was well chosen, being located high above
the danger of flood. The town is within
less than FIVE miles of the geographical
center of the county, thereby insnring thi
permanence of the county seat. The mar

CANTON'S GROWTH LAST YEAR
Below will be found list of different
parties that had buildings erected or made
improvements. The showing is a very
good one. Canton's growth only dates
since the advent of railroads, when lum-
Der became cheaper and facilities better.
From this it can be inferred that Canton
is good place to locate at. 1t Isl known
fact that Canton will double the figures
presented below, as several parties have
already made their plans. The following
IS the list:

Instruction; each assessor shall furnish to
he different towns ip clerks a statement
of the valuation of all taxable property
The Superintendent of Public Instruction
closes the school laws with the following:
Insure only amount bonds necessary; fol-
low law precisely; make full and exact rec
ord of every act and vote; sell at par or not
at all; use general, not local law; reduce
district boundaries to permanent form, can
not after bonding; ouild only on ground
district owns in fee simple; build premanent
house give 200 cubic feet air space for ev-
cry occupant, II feet ceiling, large and es-
pecially high windows; none at end for tea
cher but large black board; anchor to
foundation; provide ventilation; paint at
once thorough reject small, use onlymed-
ium and large Seats enclose grounds; plant
variety of trees; insure house and furniture;
build separate outhouses and keep things
decent reject as interested the opinion OF
every person against any OF these lnjunct-
IONS
The taxation in this county is very light
and is all owing to location, improvements,
etc. The tax on one quarter section may
be more or less, according to what the dit
ferent boards vote in the different town
ships, as regards the building of school
houses, etc The average tax may be
placed at from s. to $l5 on quarter sec
ton.
THE FINANCIAL CONDITION.
The financial condition of Lincoln coun-
ty is all that could be desired. and credit
is due to those who have had the manage
ment of affairs from time to time, and es-
pecially is this SO as concerns the present
officials The condition of this county is
of the best The Indebtedness of the
county January lst, 1881, was $40, 800, in
bonds, and since then $4,000 have been
paid The Indebtedness of the county the
present day is only 81 $50, but deducting
81 $50 on which there is no interest, it
leaves the county paying per ceent. in
tercst on S., $50, which bonds are due in
seven years, but will be called in within
,, the next two years There are 81 900 in
warrants that have been lost, but cannot
be traced, on which there is no interest,
but are not payable in five years. The
prospects are that they will be outlawed
by statute of limitation. Treasurer A. G.
Huetson manages the Office as though he
did business for himself, and to him the
thanks are due as regards the non-interest
bearing bonds and the reflnding at a
lower rate of interest The financial con,
dition of the county is published every
three months, which report shows the
true condition, and places the county out
of debt, and makes it one OF the best In
the territory. Mr. Huetson also informs
us that he could to day float $40, 900 in Lin
coin county bonds, bearing per cent in
