Receiver Lowry Regales his Eastern
Friends with Facts and Figures Relative
to Dakota.
Davenport Democrat
"Is there much land remaining in your
district for pre-emption or homesteads,
MIR. Lowry?" inquired areporter yes.
terday of our former townsman. Hon.
Robert Lowry, receiver of the Huron
land district in Dakota. whom he hap
pened to meet in convenient office.
And the question was the means of gain.
ing information of considerable public
interest.
II can answer your question by giving
you some particulars of the district"
was the reply.
"When opened the Huron land Office
on the 9th of October, 1882, less than
two years ago, that district comprised
about 5,5O0,000 acres OF public land
which had been declared opened to set
tlement. 1t was included in the counties
of Beadle, Splnk. Hand, Hyde. Hughes,
Sully. Potter and Faulk-eight counties
and you will be surprised when I tell
you that on the first of this month every
acre was sold, except about 900 acres,
mostly in Potter, Faulk and Sully
counties"
"You must have placed goodly sum
of money in Uncle Sans treasury in
these two years. then," said the reporter.
Necessarily So" MIR. Lowry replied.
The total receipts from cash sales
amount to ST, 53,O27,52, from fees and
commissions to S226,030,69, and the
amount OF surveyors scrip, $26S, ,622,7l-
making great total Of $2,027. .6S0,S2,
which has been received in that Office in
two years-and only 100000 acres left
for SALE"
"Rut, Mr.. Lowry, if your business
proceeds at that rate, it will not be long
before your Office closes, will it?"
Office closel Why, there is work
enough left to keep that Office running
for ten years. There are great number
of final proofs to be made Of homestead
and pre.emptions and T. O.'s, as We call
tree claims-and they run for eight
years. No, there is no prospect Of the
Office closing for some time yet"
when you opened this office how
many people we're in the district?"
why, none! Spectators can't get it.
The most any man can get of it is 4S0
scres-160 for homestead, 160 for pre-
| empClOu anu lou 2s tree clalm IN sec
ton. Then, there is no railroad grant
on all the Huron district. Thus you see
the land in the district is taken for actual
settlement, the only way in which spec
ulator can get possession of the land il
to purchase it of settler, who mus
have spent $500 to $400 upon it before
, he can get the patent for it. In the case
! of a homestead man must live upon il
for five years before he can get his deco
, for it, and then it will cost him bu,
, twenty-eight dollars. A great many set

way than to force ourselves into tie

1t this movement is seriously con.
templated, the proper course Is for the
state executive committee to call the
election and conduct it under the pro-
visions of the constitution already
adopted and ratified.-Press and Da.

The Free Press heartily seconds the
above suggestion, and thinks the execu.
tive committee should be called together
at once to consider the situation. We
understand that Bartlett Tripp is chair
man of the committee.-Pierre Free

Each county in the south half OF Da.
kota has representative on the state
executive committee. Each member oi
the committee knows the sentiment iu
his county upon this subject. If they
will communicate with the chairman Of
the committee, Bartlett Tripp, at Yank'
tou, giving their views as to the advisa'
bility of the move above suggested 9
tolerably accurate idea of public
sentiment will thus be secured. If any
movement Of this nature is inaugurated
it must necessarily be the outcome of {
public demand for statehood strong
enough to give general support to
the acts of the executive
committee. The state consti.
tuition provides for the election of a gov.

Of state, an auditor, q treasurer, . super

RESOLUTIONS OF RESPECT.
MASONIC HALL,

nlaoON1C llALD,
GRENADA, Miss, Dec. 10, 1884
WHEREAS, it has been made known to
this Grenada Lodge No. 81, A. F. and
A. NJ. that an All Wise Providence has
seen fit to call from his laborers one OF
our most worthy and beloved members,
Brother THOMAS HARDEMAN, NJ, and
whereas it is the desire of this Lodge to
give expression to the high esteem and
affection entertained for our deceased
Brother, and to the sorrow and regret
that we feel at his death. Therefore, be
it,
RESOLVED, that in the death of Bro
Thos. Hardeman NJ, Masonry at large
and this Lodge especially, has suffered
great and imparable loss. In his daily
walks among men, in his private life and
by his conduct and actions within the
sanctuaries, he ever sought to exemplify
the teachings the high principles and
the beneficient influences of Masonry ;
a man of will, impetuous and full OF de-
termination, he was vet, as gentle and
sympathetic to suffering humanity, as a
woman. Restive under restraint lily
brooking contradiction or opposition, he
was yet quick to acquiesce and submit
when contradiction and opposition was
right. True, devoted, answering as a
friend, and as q Mason, he was ever
ready to respond to the cry of distress
and to exhaust his energies and abilities
i'll behalf of the oppressed.
No him, Masonry was reyelation-a
delight, full thigh teachings, and OF the
wisest and best rulss OF action. He loved
its principles, its practices, its truths and
| its history with an earnest tender and
reverent love. He recognized in it a
means to higher life for humanity-an in
spiration to right living. He saw in it
charity, sympathy, friendship, brother
y love and the practice of the christian
virtues. With such feelings in heart, he
labored long and well for the publication,
the prosperity and the advancement OF
our beloved order and the effecuation of
its ends. The effects OF his work have
been-are being felt for great good.
Asa Brother-Mason, as a friend and as
a member of the community, Brother
Hardeman discharged the duties of life
as best he could, and the record of his
deeds bear testimonial that he discharged
them well. This indeed was good work,
and fit to be presented to the Master
With heartfelt sorrow we mourn his
loss,
RESOLVED further That the Lodge room
be draped in mourning, and the members
wear the proper badge of mourning for
thirty days.
RESOLVED further, Thata copy OF these
resolutions be furnished for publication
to the Grenada SENTINEL, and to the

IN MEMORIAM.

JOHN G. PEETE, son of Caswell G. and
Rebecca f. Peete was born in Talla-
hatchie County, Miss, Jan. 3lst 1862
and died near Tuscaboma, Grenada c.,
Miss Nov. 9th 1884.
In the pride and strength of his young
manhood, our friend yielded back his
spirit to God who gave it. Why thi,
calamity, God whose purposes are held
in an equlpoise of in6oite goodness and
mercy only knows.
He was one of the few young men
raised in this neghborhood who did not
have to seek business abroad, but re-
NAMED here to help build up the in.
terests OF his own community By in.
dustry, integrity and many panly vir,
lures he was rapidly winning his way to
an enviable position in the minds and
hearts of, all who knew Lin.
In many things he was q splendid
type OF a noble manhood. He was a
man of sound sense and for one Of his
years, had an extensive knowledge of
ren and useful store of general inior-
nation. He was equal to the demands OF
society upon him, and carried the warm
glow of his sunny nature with him in all
he relations of life.
A devoted son, an affrctionate brother,
a self sacrifising friend and good citi-
zen, he has fallen among us, where there
were already too few of so much promise.
To this dispensation OF an All Wise
God we submissively bow, and humbly
pray that he who nath numbered the
hairs OF our heads, and who "doeth all
things WE'LL" may sanctify this bereav>
lnent to the good of the afflicted family,
and bring TO them that peace which the
world can neither give or take away.
