Grand Forks special: By private ad.
vices received here to-day from WASH
ington, the chances for the passage Of
the Nelson pine land bill appear most
favorable. The prospect for division is
good; also several other measures before
congress that affect the vital interests of
the territory. The confirmation Of W.
J. Anderson as receiver, has been delayed
by the complaint of George II. Walsh,
but there is no doubt his appointment
will be confirmed by the senate ina few
days. Delegate Raymond is working
hard for Dakota interests, and ia gaining
many friends by his course.

Grafton in the senate very soon. Senator
Dawes and Congressman Holman, WHO
have charge of the bill in their respec-
tive houses, are both agreed upon what
should be done, and are earnestly in favor

from the land in any other form, and the
advantages to Dakota are incalculable.
