How Big is Dakota.

Huronite:-Place the north lire Of
the Territory at the south shore OF
Lake Michigan and the southern boun.
Diary would be near the northern state
line Of Alabama. Place the western
boundary on the line between Illinois
and Indiana and the eastern boundary
would be the western boundary OF
Pennsylvania. A straight line drawn
d~iagonally from corner to corner Of the
Territory would reach from st. Paul to
Cairo, OF from Cairo to Galveston.
Dakota would make a strip of coun-
ties 60 miles wide reaching from the
Atlantic to the Pacific OCEANS or 1876
miles wide from Lake Superior to the
Gulf of Mexico.
In strips n township wide it would
reach ten times across the. continent
and then have enough to spare or equal
in extent Long Island, Delaware and
Connecticut.
Washington Post:-On Saturday,
March %, a package of burnt money
was received by Treasurer Wyman for
redemption. 1t was the property of
Thomas Dowing, a quarryman, living
near Menasha, Wis, and represented
the savings OF twenty-three years of
hard work. His cabin was destroyed
by fire, March 9th, and with it all his
money, which was IN the form of green
backs and national bank notes. The
charredremains of the money were sub
mitted to the examination of a commit
tee of treasury experts, and all the legal
tender notes, to the amont of 1850. iden-
titled. They were redeemed at once
The remainder will be transmitted to
the banks of issue for their action, and
the result will be that the entire amount
of money will be. restored to its owner.
tkE99is is only one of many cases of this
fI4d acted upon by the treasury,

80 -H
Press Dakotaian, May 2S;-AJ three
o'clock this afternoon the Supreme
court of Dakota rendered Adhesion in
what is known as the capital comm1s-
sion case, and by that decision reversed
the decision of the court below.
4. Associate Justices Hudson, Church
and Palmer assent to the decision and
Chief Justice Edgertcn dissents.
: 1t will be remembered that this action
was brought in the district court for
'iIhe second judicial district under QUO
warranto% proceedings, the nine commits
sioners appointed by the legislature and
the governor to locate a seat Of govern
ment for Dakota being cited to appear
and shuW3by what authority they acted
as such commissioners. : After a hear
ing in the district court, Judge Edger-
con decided against the legality Of the
commission and ordered a judgment of
custer entered against them. The de-
feated parties took an appeal to the SUI
preme court of the territory, the case
was argued AZ che present term and the
result is the majority Of thecourt order
reversal Of the decision of the court be-
low. In other words, the supreme
court sustains the validity of the com
mission. - ~
J The plaintiffs in the action promptly
perfected an appeal to The supreme
court of the United States. Thisappeal
operates as a supersedeas and prevents
Che removal of the capital to Bismarck
pending q decision in the United States
supreme court. This decision cannot
be expected in less than two years. so
the final result is still an open question.
The argument in the case was ably
conducted by Judge G. G. Moody, Bart
lett Trip and j. r. Gamble for the peo-
pie, and by Colonel VIZ. Villas and Col
onel w. P. Clough for the capital COM
mission. 1t has been watched with
quiet but intense interest, all 'speoula-
tion in the matter centering upon Judge
Hudson and Judge Palmer.
Judge Edgerton's position was, Of
course, known, from his former decision
in the case. 1t was generally conceded
that Judge Church was Favorable to the
Ordway-Bismarck side. There is some
disappointment over theresult, because
it appeared to those who listened to the
argument that it was most decidedlyin
support of the original position taken
by Judge Edgerton. The chief point
in the case was that a territorial legis-
lature has no authority to delegate it's
power, and it was largely upon this
proposition that the fight was made.
During the tendency of the decision
the chief partners in the firm which
went into the capital real estate specu-
lation have been here and have kept
themselves in continuous consultation.
They are doubtless gratifed at the out
come which gives them the second
blood. The people won in the first in
stance, the conspirators in the second,
and it now remains for the United
States supreme court to decide which is
entitled to the last victory.

The SIOUX Falls Press gives the fol
lowing valuable crop estimate.
The Northwestern railroad company
travegsing the block of counties north
west of Sioux Falls, named below, has
had men out making a canvass of the
acreage, of wheat put in the present
season and after a careful and thorough
canvass the following figures have been
r%eturnedto thecompany's headquarters:
Brookings county, 100000 acres; kings
bury, 10000; Beadle, $4,000; Sphinx, co.
600; Clark, 10000; Coddington, l25,O0O;
Hamlin, 5000. These estimates are
evidently reliable as the figures were
gathered up BY men specially delegated
by the Northwestern railroad company
to do the work in order to give that
company a basis for an estimate of the
probable transportation capacity it will
require to move the cropthis fall. The
figures were obtained by Secretary
Of our board of trade and were new
before published.
In the seven counties designated it
will be seen that there are over half a
million acres of wheat sown. Estimat-
ing the yield at eighteen bushels to the
acre, which is a conservative estimate,
we have in the neighborhoed of nine
million bushels Of the cereal, and plac-
ing the market price at 20 cents this
crop alone will enrich that small sec
ton of our territory to the extent of
over 100000. When it is borne in
mind that the wheat crop will not oc-
cupy one-half of the acreage of the cul-
tivated lands in this section of Dakota,
the rapidly accommodating wealth of our
agriculturists will be readily compre-
hended.
The block Of counties south Of those
named, and including Minnehaha,
would foot Up hundred per cent. great
er in acreage, as they are more numer-
ously settled and much more extensive
ly cultivated.
By getting the notices of a party and
a livery stable mixed, a Dakota editor
was made to say: The ladies appeared
in great numbers to grace the occasion.
1t was observed that they were nearly
all spawned and hidebound and their
ribs could lie counted with the naked
eye at a long distance. They should be
stripped Of their harness right in the
and turned loose to die" He is
now a fugitive on the face of the earth,
and every mans hand is raised against
him.
Watertown Coprier;-Good Judges es-
that one-third OF the entire acre
age of the country isbelng put into crop.
Probably about four-fifths of this is be-
sown to wheat which makes about
l47,NOacres. This at the usual average
twenty bushels per acre, and the sea-
promises a larger yield, will make
crop in this country alone of 2.94OOOD|
bushels.
The republicans of Fargo, D. r., have
made arrangements for al excursion to
Chicago to attend the convention. 1t

Loose gravel on walks.-It the gravel
is properly put down to bind, there is
little cause for loose gravel at the surface,
and it is easy to have the walks without it
and as firm as stone, almost. The use of
a small quantity of finely screened, sandy
clay-rather more of clay than of sand
is what is needed as an ingredient of the
walk This, il the gravel is already in
place, may be scattered over the surface,
and worked into the bed with a rake after
ward, rolling it firmly. Use a sprinkler
on it while the rolling is in progress. If
new walks are being made, this same
article should be mixed with the gravel
in the proportion of about one tenth Of the
bulk, before putting it down. Heavy
rolling has good deal to do with the
making of good gravel walks.
