The Kingsbury County News says:
People living way back in the gorges of
Pennsylvania, in the swamps of Indiana,
in the sand of Illinois, should begin to
dig the dust of satisfaction from their
eyes. They think their present homes
pleasant because they have seen no fairer
country The tales that reach them from
this far off land of milk and honey, they
hear and half believe, even as they do the
legends handed down through generations
from their way back ancestors, the Ito
them dare-devils who brave all imaginary
perils in coming to this far off section,
show up in the same light as the marty
rous searchers after the north pole-They
are brave enough, but equally foolish.
But let one of their neighbors, in whom
they have implicit confidence, make a
break and visit Dakota, then return and
tell of her wonders. How short time
before dozens of families immi CRATE from
tn at particular neighborhood and pitch
their tents in Dakota This fact explains
why so many of our people are old ac-
quaintances-why so many of them come
from the same neighborhood 1t also
goes to show that with all our newspapers
and newspapers are wonderfully numer-
Gus in Dakota--we are not halt advertised.
But we wander. Our point is this: Lo-
calities, communities or neighborhoods in
the east, containing people des;rous of bet
tering their worldly condition, should Sc
lect some responsible representative citizen
and send him out here on tour of investl-
CATION. They need not take the news
paper mans word for it, these doubling
Josephs. They have means at hand to
secure satisfactory proof-let them make
use of their means. We don't deny that
we wish to induce people To come here
that is our chief obect--but sc wish
them to come hear for Their own interest
to better Their condition, We claim
that Dakota is the po,- mtn para lse.
that in oar won ierful soil lies the roa to
wealth. That in our invisoratiDg climate
may be found a positive cure tor many
bodily ills. We only ask you to test the
strength of our statements.

Advices from Washington state that
the administration does not regard with
favor the condition Of affairs in the teri-
tory of Dakota in some particulars 1t
is reported that the aggregate of bonded
indebtedness voted by the Legislature this
winter is not less than $750,000. 1t is not
believed that the imposition of such
debt is warranted in single season forthe
purposes for which it was voted, and that
such proceedings will prove in the future
to be an obstruction to dividing the ter
ritory. 1t is liable to lead to trouble, and
may encourage resort to reputation
such as resulted from the division of Vir-
ginia. 1t is reported to be the views of
the administration that Dakota should
take no steps which may interfere with
the division Of the territory into three or
four states eventually in the interest OF
good government. Should the people go
on and allow the legislature to involve
their affairs so as to keep the territory in
it's present form great state as large as
New England would result with but two
senators, while New England has twelve.

The Canton advocate. [volume] (Canton, D.T. [S.D.]) 1877-1897, 1883-03-22


The Chicago Tribune strongly endors
es the proposition for holding a con-
stitutional convention. In the course Of
an article on Dakota affairs, it says
What they want to do now is to go ahead
and organize state government, elect
their member ofcongress and two senators,
as they can settle among themselves, and
then ask congress to let them in. That
is probably the shortest way, and will IN
volve the least trouble 1t is the way
Colorado came in, and there is no reason
why Dakota should not do thesame thing.
There are no political objections, and
certainly SO far as the interests ot the peO
pie are concerned they would be very un-
wise to opposeit. Dakota is bound to be
the empire state of the great northwest,
and to overshadow it's neighbors east of
the Missouri in population, and in all the
elements of wonderful progress, and it is
none too early for her people to sink all
political prejudices and divisions, so far as
this question is concerned, and make ap-
plication to come into the union as a great
state designed to be still greater, and to
exercise a powerful influence on the inter
ests ofthe northw est.
