The Dividing Line Located.

Grant County Review.
A closer investigation of the late act
of the territorial Legislature dividing
Grant county appears to confirm the
first impression that the dividing line
runs along the township line between
townships 12l and l22, instead of cutting
through the third tier Of sections in the
north part Of township 121. The word.
ing Of the act has always been considered
obscure, and j. w. Bell, esq, who is con-
ceded to be by all odds the best lawyer
in the county, and who is known to be
conservative construer OF legal enact
ments az never to venture en-
opinion until he lie absolutely
sure in his mind that he is correct, gives
it as his unqualified opinion that If the
question is ever brought into court that
it will be held that the dividing line be-
tween the counties runs along the town
ship line between townships l2l and l22.
Ii such is the case. then Big Stone City
lies wholly IN Grant county and Coroner
Vandueen is still coroner and not DR..
Rose who was appointed to
fill what was supposed to be
vacancy. In view of Mr.. Bells opin.
ion, we understand that Coroner Vandu-
sen proposes to assert his claim to the
office to which ho was unanimously
elected by the people, and also that sew.
eral of the townships whose officers were
about to make new appointments to fill
supposed vacancies have refrained from
so doing until they have more conclu.
sive evidence than mere surmise that
their territory hes been cut in twain.

The old.time disposition to attribute
everything of disastrous nature to
Yankton, singularly enough, exhibits
itself in connection with the depreciation
of Dakota paper through the extrava-

This is equivalent to statement that
Yankton urged the passage of the capi.
tai commission bill and we expect our
city will yet be accused of that crime.
The extravaganza of the legislature re-
suited entirely from the efforts to pass
the capital bill. Members who voted
for it demanded legislation favorable to
the localities they represented. Thus
Grand Forks got its university, Bis
marck its penitentiary, Fargo its agri-
cultural college. Brookings it's agri-
cultural college and various other neigh
borhoods smaller donations from the
public treasury. At this late day it ap.
pears that Yankton is the party mainly
responsible for all these appropriations,
every one of which gained vote OF capi.

votes in the legislative body, forced up
on an unwilling people burden of debt
