A. PROCLAMATION
By the Acting Governor of Dakota Ter
rlLOrV.

The planting and cultivation Of trees
in a prairie country is q subject Of so
great Importance as not to be easily
over estimated. 1t concerns not only
the comfort, but the material interests
of the people, and appeals as we'll to the
desire for pecuniary gain as to love Of
the beautiful and ornamental. 1t is a
subject in Which all are alike interested
and upon which all may act.
The success OF arboriculturc in this
Territory has already been demonstrate
ed, and there is no doubt that both midi
vidual and generalests would be great
~ benefited by the setting apart and
cultivation Of a part Of every farm in
the Territory IS apcrmancnt plantation
for the raising OF timber. With this
supplemented by proper planting for
ornament along the streets and around
the residences, school houses and pub
lie grounds in both town and country,
the outlay would be returned ten-fold
IN the increase Of values and the added
beauties of farms and homes. While
laying the foundations Of what is des-
tined to be a great and populous COM
monWealth we should not reject the
help which nature offers to make it at
The same time both beautiful and rich.
AS is well known, in some states a
day is annually set apart to be devoted
by the whole people to the planting of
trees, and in view Of the advantage thus
gained in securing a united effort to
this end, with the hope of establishing,
q custom proved yaluablcin other COM
munities, | dc earnestly recommend
that the people OF this Territory observe
Wednesday, the 23rd day Of April next,
as A~rborday, and that it lie devoted to
the planting of trees.
In testimony whereof | have hcreun-
to set my hand and affixed the great
seal of said Territory, at Yankton, this
3lst day Of March, 1884.

Sec. and Acting Gov. of Dokota.

quite a little history and runs iii this
way: "In the cropof a wildgoose killed

Forty-five killed and one hundred and
thirty-eight wounded is the final count
at Cincinnati as the result of the late
riot. just such affairs are liable to oc-
cur in any city Of the United States, and
everywhere the authorities arc equally
unable to suppress mob violence until
it has WORT itself out. The numerous
suggestions that the regular army he
disposed as to be made available in
emergencies of this nature contain
much good sense. 1t is row largely a
frontier ornament, too far from mob
centers to be Of use when most needed.
a company or tHo Of regulars at Gin
%cinnati, at the outbSeak of the riot,
would have saved many lives.
Huron Times:-People who Went to
Oregon and Washington Territory are
returning by the carload to settle in
Dakota. The disconnected farmers Of
Manitoba are also crossing the border
this section of Uncle Sans domil-
ions. Kansas and Nebraska and Wy
oming are contributing their ~quotasto
swell the population OF this great terri
tory. SO the unprecedented spectacle
is afforded of people coming from every
point Of the compass, to settle upon the
last unappropriated soil of thecontinent
where fertility is not effectually offset
by great disadvantages. Empire has
ceased to travel exclusively TO the west.
From the north, the south. the west, as
from the east. it marches to Dakota.

says of Ordway's defense of himself:
"Ordway in his reply, is bitter in his

A New Scheme In Dakota.

Chicago Tribune, 25: A delegation
from Huron, d. T.. consisting of Geo.
w. Nance and Chas. NJ. Harrison, pres
ldent and secretary Of the Huron board
OF trade, and I. j. Nicholl, former SUI
perintendent of the Dakota sections of
the Northwestern railroad. is at present
in the city for the purpose OF booming
the interests of Huron among the
Wholesale merchants and business peo-
pie of Chicago. The special object of
the delegation is to induce wholesale
merchants here to establish branch
houses in Huron, and thereby make
that town a central distributing point
for southern Dakota and the surround
ing territory. 1t is claimedthat Huron,
from its central location and excellent
railroad facilities, offers special adyan-
tages a S Il sub-distributing point for
Chicago. The town is four years Old,
and its present population is nearly
1000. 1t boasts seven churches. seven
banks, four hotels. a telephone ex-
change, a daily newspaper, a jail, and
many other institutions indicative of
prosperity and business activity. The
delegation has its headquarters OF the
Grand Pacific, end will remain in the
city for three or four days.
Sioux Falls Press:-It seems very
strange to US that eastern people can
not comprehend the situation Of affairs
in the west. When a man who has
lived all his days in the large cities of
the east concludes to come out as fas as
Sioux Falls, the first thing he thinks of
providing himself with is a gun with
which to defend himself against the
wild Indians, prairie bandits, road
agents and ferocious beasts, which he
supposes are lying in ambush at every
turn Of the road, when in fact they ex-
list only inhis own imagination. Many
are also of the opinion that none of the
Injuries and conyeniences of life are to
be had out here, and consequently trans
port even old sawbuckS and kitchen ia
bles from the far east to southeastern
Dakota, where such things can be OBJ
tanned, bran new, fer less than the
freight on them comes to. One gentle
man who has recently removed from
York state to this city brought a large
rock, weighing about 200 pounds, and
when asked what in hail Columbia he
brought that along for said he wanted
it to crack hickory nuts on and was
afraid he could not get a stone here.
