The first installment of the spring emigra-
ton to Cavalier county has reached there,
and comprises some twenty-five German
families.
1t is predicted by parties who will be con-
cerned in taking the census, that in June
the count of the territory will fully reach

farm of 10 acres near Elk Point was
lately sold to Wisconsin parties for about
S33 an acre. That indicates that Dakota
land is acquiring value.
Since the legislature has adjourned men
can safely put the county on their letter
heads. Until that body dispersed there was
no certainty that any county would re-
main whole.
Altoona on the Jim is preparing to sink an
artesian well. It is expected to have flowing
water to supply the entire city. Since the
success at Ipswich most towns in the central
region will bore deep.
In spite of Washington dispatches that the
Democratic committee of Dakota has united
upon Capt. Marattha for governor. there Is
no doubt that Editor Ziebach has the written
pledges of twenty of the thirty members.
Relatives of Postmaster General Villas or
intimate friends of his relatives are spring.

Office in Dakota. John Fox is cousin and
willing to hold the postoftice at Bookings.
The Huron Leader intimates that Land
Register Armstrong is of the anything-for-
Office class of politicians, and has appointed
four Dem ocrats for clerks in order to hold the
place. Even Republicans would like to see
him bounced.
An enthusiastic reception was given at
Blunt to the prosperous young farmer LATE
Zollers when he returned from Illinois with
his fair and lovely wife, who is a daughter Of
b. F. Corwin of the Sprin gfield region, well
known to many from Illinois.
At Centreville in Turner county, the DEM
ocrats hold a caucus March 81 to determine
who shall be postmaster. There are several
willing to take the place for the good of the
party. They seem to suppose that all that is
necessary is for them to agree upon the man
aud send his name to Washington.
1t is known that Col. Morton, the noted
real estate boomer of Fargo, is an old and
intimate friend of Col. Lamont, the presi-
dents private secretary, and it is intimated
| that he has gone to Washington by invitation
to advise as to the disposition of the federal
Offices in Dakota. There is uneasiness in
| some quarters over the matter.
Since the building of the new railroad from
Ste Paul to Brainerd and on to Grand Forks
seems assured, there is strong expectation

sion that the Manitoba road will extend its
Larimore branch from Park river north.
The advocates of woman suffrage will
never forgive Gov. Pierce for his veto. They
pronounce his reasoning weak, his argu-
ments shallow and based upon prejudice.
| They Insist that he should have shown that

and Washington. When the female orators
get near his scalp, he will do well not to be

The county seat of Turner county has been
removed from Swan Lake to Parker under a
new law, without calling out the militia or
broom brigades. Swan Lake is now de-
serted hamlet although the oldest settlement
in the county. The people will probably
vote upon the location in 1886, but with the
800 pounds of the jovial Capt. Wagner to
hold it down it will no doubt remain at
Parker.
No happier man has been seen In Dakota
than Hon. 7. NJ. Pugh, the legislator from
Dickey county, since his friends in Fargo
presented him that 500 gold-headed cane as
an indication of the appreciation Of his labors
and personal worth. When he reaches home
he will be given an ovation. He was in
early times resident of Fargo, and has pro-
vided in his will that when he dies he may be
buried at the Gateway City.
The Aberdeen Republican takes this view
As we have said before, to hold another con-
stitutional convention farce at Sioux Falls
next fall is useless and can lead to no good
whatever. 1t Is an expenditure of the peo-
pies money for a political junketing tour
which will accomplish no ore good than did
| Hugh Cam pbclfs constitutional fiasco of two
| years ago. Aberdeen is in the northern tier
of counties of the South, and it is supposed
that delegates will be sent from that section
who will insist upon one state or to have the
dividing line run down to the 45th parallel.
1t is not often that the proceedings of leg
slative bodies are watched as closely as were
those OF the late one at Bismarck, and where
the members have pleased their localities
they are being feted, wined and smoked on
their return to the embraces of their constit-
ueuts. Special instances of this sort are

posed with some success as the open-market
friend of the farmer; Nickeus of James

North; Wagner of Bon Homme, the model

instances there were threats of veteran hen

May of the papers, especially those in

secting the veto message with much apparent
/ success. The YauktOn Press makes this
| point, among others: Does the governor
not con ict himself of neglect of duty in
