According 10 the statistics that are continually
coming in Of trotting and pacing races during the
season OF 1884, it appears that the year was a
very successful one indeed, much more SO than
any previous year. Notwithstanding the fact
that during the last part OF the year business
throughout the whole country was dull and
financial disasters were numerous, these mlsIor-
tunes seem not TO have reached the race track.
The Turf, Field and Farm has been looking INTO
this matter pretty CLOSELY aid says that il has
been positively startled to learn Of the vast IN
crease which the statistics show in this branch of
sport over any preceding year. The precise
figures cannot be stated at this time, bat 1t IS
certain that no annual record Of
such races has ever enumerated as
many As 800. The highest number Of races in
any preceding year has not been more than
3,4OO, while the average has been considerably
less than 1000. Yet the Turf says 'there are
already recorded for the 1884 supplement to
Chester's Complete Trotting aud Pacing Record,
T. be precise. ABA races, and the number will
probably be swe led 10 about 1900, showing an
Increase over he average for the past ten years
Of over hfty per cent, and Of more than thirty

IL is true that extraordinary pains have been
taken 10 procure Information for this volume,

1t is believed that the material interests Of Ds-
kota are largely involved in the action of con-
gress. The Canton Adgocate states 1t in this
way: II is we'll known that the opening OF the
Sioux reservation, coupled with division and ad-
mission, would create an impetus in the immi-
grafton to Dakota that would place her In a few
years on an equal footing with any Of the great
northwestern states. Millions of acres Of tillable
land, now lying idle through this action of con-
gress, would TEEN with life and action. Towns
and cities would spring up as magically and phe-
nominalg as they did during the rush of 's0-S1,
and the already great Dakota would become two
fold greater. IL is no freak OF the imagination
when the statement is made that Dakota, receiv-
ing the proper recognition, would advance in
three years to a condit. on just doubly favorable
to even the unprecedented outcome of to-day.

danger signals were promiscuously scattered
around the hall. We'll, boys there was more
danger OF lnaking a miss switch through the
bright eyes and lovely forms of the ladies' present,
than In railroading, en-! ihs boys did nobly.
There were some 115 complies present, and with
the music OF Bard's band there could not have

The Yankton Press, which is among the most
hostile to Gov. ordway, attributes the trouble in
Roberts county mainly to the ex-oficial but does
not make it plain exactly how he is responsible.
1t says of the matter: The case of Roberts
county is probably as aggravating a one as there
is Oh the list of official misdemeanors. The
county was organized in August. 1888, by COM
missioners appointed by Gov. ordway, after along
search for The proper official material. The
county seat was located at Travere by the ap-
pointed commissioners and Travere was largely
owned by c.. S. Palmer, since appointed associate
justice Of the supreme court OF Dakota. W. X.
Weaver, q resident Of the city of Yanxton, who
had been employed in Palmer's law Office. was
appointed by the commissioners county clerk of
Roberts county. At the time of the organiZa-
ton there was much dissatisfaction expressed
over methods employed, but the people were
comforted by the enjoyment Of long delayed
local government and they soon quoted
down. Three fourths Of the area of Roberts
county lies within the boundaries OF the Sisseton
Indian reservation and is mol subjet t TO the civil
government organized fer the balance OF the
county. A triangular shaped fragment in the
southeast corner of the county containing about
eight townships, and another triangular shaped
fragment in The northeastern part of the county
containing about three townships. Is all there is
of Roberts county proper, and the two pieces are
separated by Il strip of Indian country ABOUT
twenty miles wide. Travere is located at the ex-
IRENE northern angle of the southeastern triangle
and Wilmot is located nearly In the center of this
triangle. II is conIerded that the southeastern
fragment is about al there Is OF Roberts county,
aud that its seat of government should be nearly
in the geographical center thereof. Hence the
contest over the county seat location and its de-
n o able results. The fruits OF the Ordway re-
gime are not ali gathered
