from four to seven inches in length.
The harvest is 30 near at hand that the
crop Is secure against all contingencies
excepting that of an unusually wet har-
vest. The acreage Of wheat is about
double that Of former years, so the south
will be able to atone to large extent for
the shortage in the north. Corn, which
is the reliable staple Of this region, is
coming rapidly forward and will return
a yield fully proportionate, to the small
grain yield. Our cattle are half buried
IN the luxuriant growth Of native grass
and there will be hay for millions of head.

favorable to all kinds Of crops and an

have finally been settled by the treasury
department and the result is that there

delay in completing this settlement was
occasioned by certain claims, the allow
ance of which the ex.marshal insisted
upon as nothing but justice to him. That
he was right is proven by the result,
though the deferred settlement has
caused some unpleasant intimations
from unfriendly sources. Time, how

> At last the people of Grant county
have settled their long and bitter con-
test over the location of tLeir county
seat and have settled it in manner
which exhibits good sense. A few years
ago the county seat was changed from
Big Stone City to Mllbank by the vote
of the people. There was some infor-
mality in the election and the Big Stone
people refused to give up the records, re-
sorting even to an armed defence of their
citidal. The last legislature divided the
county, throwing Big Stone City and
part of old Grant county into the new
county of Roberts. Since that time in
terest and feeling in the issue has died
out, and several attempts at compromise
have been made, which have finally re.
suited in settlement. All civil and
criminal suits growing out OF the con.
test are to be dropped by both sides.
Milbank assumes payment Of the costs
of these, but also pays all orders issued
by the Big Stone government up to the
time OF the legislative enactment. In
return, Big Stone turns over the records
