made in support of the application. Attention
is directed to the necessity of protecting the
school lands of Dakota from squatters. and it is
recommended that the Territorial govern
ment be authorized to take pos
session of and control them. The ex-
istence of vast Indian reservations is said
to be a source of trouble and vexation, and
the Governor suggests that these reservations
be cut up, and the land given to the Indians in
seyeralty. The hope is expressed that the gov
eminent will reimburse those settlers who went
upon the old Crow Creek reservation in good
faith. and were ordered off by the Presidents
proclamation. The Territorial tax levy for all
purposes, including interest on the public debt,
was but mill during the present year and the
financial condition of the Territory is said to be
cause for congratulation. The immigration to
the Territory has been very large during the
year, and colonies of considerable size from
Pennsylvania and other Eastern States have
purchased tracts of land. The death rate was
5.45 to the l,000 which is said to be among the
smallest in the United States.

Information is received here to the effect that
the De Lesseps Panama Canal Company is now

has been expended in defeating the American

KoKoMo Nov. 2-For the past two years
there has been steady and solid growth in the

energetic spirit, and they are no longer content
to plod along sod sidewalks and over mud cross
ings. They have begun number of improve
ments, of which sidewalks, crossings and street
lamps are the most noteworthy But Saturday
night, at meeting called for the purpose, the
desire of putting on city airs cropped out and
active steps were taken toward the incorporation
of the place The town, if Incorporated. will
number about two hundred in population and

for the reason that none of their taxes will have
