In noting the fact that the unfortunate
county seat outbreaks are being used in con-
gress against Dakota, the Htsrolsite throws
out this suggestive hint. II the whole peo-
pie of Dakota are TO be continually held re-
sponsible and denied their constitutional
rights because Of merely and comparatively
trivial troubles, they may finally conclude
that thew may as well be ''killed for a sheep
as lamb, " and assert themselves in way
that will not be misunderstood.
One of the novel suggestions OF a Dakota
paper to secure attention at Washington is
for every publication in the territory to be
sent to each member of congress, until they
are driven to desperation and vote whatever
measures may be wanted. This would be
heavy tax on some Of them, and more than
double their circulation. If some method
could be devised To compel the Legislators To
read all of them, they would soon be brought
10 terms.
This is not new point stated by the Park
River Gazette, but is one that Dakota people
like to have understood abroad: 1t is well
known fact that the physicians OF the eastern
states recommend their patients who are
afflicted with pr mOnary symptoms to try the
climate Of Dakota. The chief merit of 'Da-
kota's atmosphere is its dryness. When the
thermometer indicated 30 degrees below zero
in Dakota it does not incOnvenieh e a per-
son or animal so much as zero would in any
OF the middle or central states.
Capt. H. t. Elliott, large wheat grower,
makes this statement to the editor Of the
La Moure Progress to show how proftabiy
pork can be produced in the north when
there is little corn: He put some $40 into
pork, part Of it in the form OF home grown
corn, the balance representing the cost of
the pigs. This winter he has sold S41.75
worth OF fine pork; be has put down some
500 pounds Of PORK for his own use, also I25
pounds Of lard and some fifty pounds of
sausage; he also has several pigs to carry
over for breeding next year AND added
the captain, 1.-The $40 1 put il hogs has
yielded me larger and better returns than
any twenty-five acres of wheat raised this
year"
1t was mentioned recently that the census
at Mandan showed about forty bachelors to
twenty manageable women, and that the
bachelors had organized with view to i'm
porting enough females to go round This
has provoked action on the part of the maid
ems and they have organized also. They
have resolved that there shall be no more
importations until the home supply is ex-
exhausted, and a motion was made to send
the surplus bachelors to Utah, but withdrawn.
The conclusion was that not more than
twenty Of the bachelors were worth having.
and the rest might look abroad or 90 with
out The most difficult question now before
them is how 10 divide the twenty eligbIes, as
in-some instances four or i've girls want the
same man. They viii probably agree to
draw lots.
