NEW COURT HOUSE COMMISSION.
4 Breeze About the ContraCt-The
New Bonds Ready-Talk About
the EStimateg.

A meeting Of the new court house commits
ZION was held yesterday afternoon, Mayor
O'Brieu In the chair and Messrs. Dawson,
Day and Hendrlckson being in attendance.
County Auditor McCardy called attention
10 the fact that the contract. for erecting the
court house had not been signed by the con-
troller; the contract and specifications had
been left with Mr.. Roche to sign and when
Nr. Moore, the attorney of the commission,
called for them he refused to either sign the
contract or give ii up, saying that it was con-
trary to law to execute the contract before
the money was in the treasury.
The auditor also informed the board that
the salaries of the members and Of the sec
rotary, 500 year each, were due and that
Ehe first meeting Of the commission had been
held September S, 1882; also that there was
800 due the architect.
On motion, the auditor was instructed TO
draw mp vouchers for the amounts. The at
tention Of the commission was called to the
fact that the bonds were Autographed and
gould be ready in about week. They would
contain view Of the proposed court house
and railroad and river scene.
With regard TO the contract Mayor O'Brien
stated that he had seen the comptroller and
that the latter had said that he merely wanted
to give it thorough examination. The audi
tor was instructed to reimburse the county
revenue fund for the amount expended for
printing.
Mr.. Bassford, the architect, then submitted
q number Of preliminary estimates for the
work aggregating $3.50. 900; the several items
being discussed at length, with the view Of
ascertaining how much of an appropriation
should be asked for from the legislature. In
reply TO a query Mr. Bassford said he thought
the bids would vary at least $500 below
the figures named.
After Il discussion it was decided to ask
the committee on legislation TO apply for at
least $780, 900.
Replying to a question ex-Mayor Dawson
said he thought the bonds would ell be taken
at 2 premium. In explanation of the work
Mr. Bassford said that he thought it would
take about two years to complete the super

There is anxiety in the lower Missouri river
region over the fact that no move towards

Ocrdt remarks in regard to the matter: With
proper presentation to the present house we
believe the bill will go through. Everybody
VINO knows anything about the great Sioux
reservation, the Indians thereon and the de-
mands Of civilization in southern aud west

tice TO the government, to the Indians and
TO the home-seeking white man all demand
that legislation should be had on this impor-
tant subject, and that 1t should be done
quickly.

The Rdiflogy Ag. has the following: ssThe
year 1884 has not been an auspieious one for
The railways. Earnings have been reduced,
while managers and employees are aPprehen-
size for the future. Foreclosure sales OF
roads FOR some time bankrup. have been 90
tDgon. but not % al alarming extent Fif-
teen roads, with = mileage OF oniy $50 Inilrs,
have thus been sold. In the previons year
eighteen roads, with amileage Of 1850 miles.
were sold and this was less than Tor several
years preceding. But the number OF corr-
Penies which have gone into the hands ofihe
receivers indicates that a new era Of fore
closures Eas begun, although tits not likely to
De q long duration. In 1854 re-
eeivers were appointed Tor fcrty-three differ
ent companies, several OF them Of much i'm
portaDce. Not few ether companies are
struggling with difficulty 70 keep their heads
above wafer, aud unless the times and the
public temper improve there is likely to be
considerable addition to the list Of receiver
ships during the coming year.
The construction record OF 1854 has not
been \ remarkable one, About 1. 600 miles
different lines. This shoTs an average Of
only about tweniy-four miles to each road,
which indicates that most Of the construction
has been on extensions or branches. The
principal lines which have been completed
during The year are the following: The

The very large number Of railway enter
Prises commenced or projected during the
year indicates that railway building will still
continue in spite of business depression, and
that when good times return il will assume
extraordinary activity. 4 glance at the map
is only necessary to show that a great amount
OF railway building must be done before this
country will be fully supplied, and the mum

Beautiful Weather.

If there is any point upon which there Is
entire unanimity in Dakota, it is that low
figures on the thermometer do not mean IN
comfortable weather The LaMoure Chronicle
says: While the inhabitants Of the james
river valley are not putting on much style
in the matter of their habitations they are
taking as much comfort in their frontier
homes as falls to the lot Of the average NOR
tai anywhere. People can endure twenty
degrees colder weather in this climate than
in the lake regions. The mercury has reg
istered 20 to 10 degrees below zero here This
week, but the inhabitants complain less than
they do in Minnesota or New York.

Decentralization,

The La MOure Chronicle thinks that in the
agitation of the wheat question too much
stress. is laid upon grading, and too little upon
other points. 1t says: There are two points
in this wheat question which transcend all
others, so far as the people of Dakota are
concerned. One is tAat it costs at least ten
cents per bushe more than it ought to &c
transport our wheat to Minneapolis or Du-
lutn. The other is that there mas been too
much wheat produced Tor the requirements

The Maudan Pioneer thinks there are few
journals of character and standing or men,
that are not in favor of cutting down the
exemptions of the present law very greatly.
1t quotes merchant as saying: All the hum
bug talked about the exemption laws being
necessary to protect the poor man, makes
of the first water to have such exemption
laws as ours ON our statute books, and to
have, at the same time, statutes against
theft. There is rs much theft practiced by
the man who buys goods aud never tries to
pay for them, as there is by the man who
stops another on the street and takes from
his person money or other property.
