We will probably have another illustra-
tion of the superiority of the brains in the
northern part of the territory soon, in the
passage OF bill in congress calling for n
convention of all the countiCs of the ter
ntory. While the delegations at Wash
iagton from the south are monkeying
about reservations, homestead monuments
school grants. etc, the solid north is get
ting in its work against division.

Ex: The new colonization bill passed 10y
the Mexican Congress is really home
stead act in its effect, and simpliies the
matter of land settlement so as TO super
cede all old laws. The only trouble seems
10 be that the law leaves the price of land
subject to valuation, instead of having n
fixed price per acre rs was the case with
.,ablc lands in the United States. Itgives
an advantage TO foreigners that induces
immigration and the Mexican Government
might do much better to have an under
stood price in advance. The new meas
nre permits each settler TO retain his own
nationality, SO Shat it is not necessary, as
il is here. to declare the intent to become
a citizen, while the foreign farmer is guar
anteed all the rights that belong to u ma
tive. The government is holding off lit
tie whiting TO have large tracts to open &c
the market. This is hardly judicious, q:
available lands should AZ opce be surveyed
for purchase

NEW RAILROAD EX TENSION

The following from the Pioneer Press is
very probably sly advertisement of the
Fairbanks town site company. If SO, 1t
should be taken with some degree of al
lowance: From an official Of the North
wcste II ruad your correspondent learns
that the company will, as soon as the
weather will permit in the spring, begin
work on new branch in Dakota, to extend
from Redfield, in Sphinx county, directly
west to the river, striking an embryo town
called Fairbanks. This place is located
about twenty eight miles north OF Pierre,
and is said to have advantages as ter
minal and river shipping point, far supe-
rior to Pierre. In anticipation of the ex-
tention n number of the leading officers OF
the Northwestern company are buying all
the land ,ney can get adjacent to and with
in the limits of the new town"
