Periodically in some of our exchanges
we find me ntion of the Dakota and Great
Southern railroad company, giving the
prospects of its ultimate completion.
as planned the road runs from Sioux City
50 Tower City, station on the Northern
Pacific, angling across Lincoln county
fiem Bercsford to Lennox, through the
towns Of Pleasant, Delaware, Grant and
Perry, and thence northwest through
Lenaox. The road has been graded for
about eighty miles at the northern enc, all
bills having been paid at the completion
Of the contracts. A gentleman in st. Paul
the other day showed reporter a letter
which he received from President Haupt,
Of the Dakota and Great Southern road,
who is now in Europe, closing arrange
ments for the sale Of bonds to iron the
road as graded. from Elliott, fifty miles
south Of there to Bristol, on the northwest
ern. Mr.. Haupt says he has every assur-
ance that he will be successful, and return
in time to provide means for. the prosecu-
ton Of the work as soon as spring opens.
While General Haupt is abroad he will
close the sale Of the bonds, and will return
10 this country in the spring to further the
| work Should the road ever be built the
| neopIe Of Lennox stand ready to give al
Their o,d clothes to become station on

The land office made rule at Wash
ington few days ago which has not been
formally announced yet, that proofs in
homestead and pre- emption cases could
not be made before notaries or clerks of
COURT but must be made before land office
register in the district in which the lands
are situated. This in Dakota would work
great hardship. Some settlers live hun
dreds of miles from the land office where
they filed the entries. Delegate Raymond
has been appealed to by large number
of his constituents, who were notified Of
this ruling, to secure its reversal. The
matter has been laid before the secretary
of the interior with full statement Of the
facts, and it is confidently believed the rule
will be rescinded.

Once again it is announced that the old
Winnebago Indian reservation lying north
of Crow Creek reservation and east OF
Pierre, on the Missouri river, is finally to
be thrown open to settlement. Less than
a month ago request to this effect. from
the Milwaukee and St. Paul road was
made and refused, the Indian office decid-
ing against it. Reconsideration has been
given the matter, however, and it is now
stated at the interior department that the
reservation will be open in few days by
executive order The Pierre and South
western railway, a company recently Or
ganized, with ockholders in Pierre, New
York city, Indiana and Illinois, wants to
get the right-of- way down the river, up
Chapalle creek, and east through six
towns in the reservation. As the status
of this land has been in doubt since the
treaty of 1868, its terms seeming to retain
the reservation for the Winnebagoes, the
tribe was removed to Nebraska, and there
are now 1000 Sioux living on the lands
It is said to be fine farming country.
Delegate Raymond will in a few days
call up under the new ten objectors" rule
the bill passed by the senate last year to
open the Big Sioux reservation. The
outlook from all accounts is good for its
passage in the house. 1t is not expected
that ten men can be found to object to a
consideration of the bill, and not many
more who will vote against its passage
Mr. Raymond expresses confidence in get
ting vote on the bill, and does not antic-
ipate defeat if vote is reached

The status Of the pre- -emption repeal
bill in the house is not such as to re-
lieve its enemies of all concern for its de-
feat. It. is on the table with not many
bills ahead; one of them, however, being
the Mexican pension bill, whose senate
amendments will require considerable de-
bate. AS it stands the pre-emption bill
cannot be taken up out ofregular order
so long as there is single objection to it.
In this way congressman Nelson kept the
friends of the measure from acting upon
it last Saturday. During the morning
hour any one can call it up, and unless
there are ten objectors it can be put upon
its passage, and if two-thirds vote is Sc
cured the bill is sure to be passed. 1t is
not safe to predict that the repeal will
become law.

Diversified farming" seems about tn

Diversified farming seems about the
best plan for the average Dakota ia rmer
to pursue from now on, and very natural
ly the producer is anxious to catch on to
all the little matters that come under the
head of this ''diversifcation.' The Sioux
Falls Leader, which advances continually
a strong vein Of argument in support Of
this change in the modus operandi Of Sc
curing livelihood from the fruits of the
soil, calls attention to the proftableness Of
fattening hogs with field peas. Peas can
be sowed early and late, SO that the har
vesting comes at different times. Unlike
other vegetable produce little frost does
not injure them, consequently it is prac-
ticabIy safe crop One writer claims
that as flesh and fat former for hogs,it is
excelled by no food except the peanut.
1t is often sown for the purpose offeeding
off to hogs. The vines and young pods
cut with grass blade and cured as clover
cured, make excellent winter feed for
sheep and cattle. The dry bulls after the
seeds are beaten out are dainty for
sheep and milch COWS in winter, and are
eaten readily by horses and mules AS a
green crop, for the purpose Of improving
the land, the field pea is in it's results
the equal of clover, because it is plant
that will thrive on lands much poorer than
will grow clover successfully. 1t will thrive
on any soil where corn will yield barrel
Tive bushels) to the acre, except on high
land that is highly calcareous. 1t does
not grow we'll on land heavily marled or
lined. With this exception it thrives on
all soils, from the very rich to the quite
poor, high land or low land, old or new
ground. AS first crop on new, rough
ground, nothing but buekwheat excels it
for mellowing and refining the soil, and
making it fit for plowed or hoed crop
The farmers Of Lincoln county would do
well to put in two or three acres to field
peas. 1t is 80 experiment, but rather an
established certainty, that this crop will
flourish in this country, and the advantage
that accrue may prove unexpectedly fa-
yorable.

Legislative Notes.

The council. by unanimous vote, has
passed the bill relieving the governor OF
the duty Of appointing commissioners for
new counties and permitting the people
to vote upon the first location of county
seats. Governor Pierce recommended
this enactment in his message.
Mr.. Rice's bill for modifying the ex-
emption law has been indefinitely post
poned, and it is said that all similar meas
ures before the legislature will meet the
same fate. Every legislature takes turn
at this law and it still stands in its origi-
nal shape.
The council memorialized congress to
appropriate $4,000 to improve the
James river, and passed its bills appro-
ariating s45, 900 for the agricultural col
lege at Fargo, Incorporating Milbank and
reimbursing Brown county for the care OF
resident paupers.
The council authorized the committee
to draft a memorial to congress asking
that Indian children from Dakota tribes
be educated at the Pierre university, con-
Quoted by the Presbyterian synod, instead
Of sending to Carlisle, Pa, as now.
Both houses accepted the invitation to
visit Fargo and partake of banquet Sat
urday evening, extended by the Fargo
council. 1t was distinctly stated that
members OF third house were not includ-
ed in the invitation. The governor and
staff were also invited
Mr.. Pettigrew has introduced a bill
which provides that all the railroad tax
shall go to the territory. Counties now
receive portion of this tax.
A council committee of the Dakota leg
islature has been instructed to frame a
bill exempting all ex-soldiers from pay
ment of poll tax.

Logan lacked one vote Of majority. The
fight is getting interesting, and Logan's
friends throughout the territory are wish

Dakota legislators down to Illinois to COM

some who could easily be spared, and
they might possibly do some good in Illin

The Yankton Press still adheres to the
belief that combination between mem
bers from northern Dakota and central
Dakota. with Wagner and Bowdle OF
the south, has been formed in the legls-
lature. 1t envolves the passage of num-
erous extravagant northern appropriation
bills, the location of an additional univer-
sity at Ordway, with its accompanying APP
preparation, the subsidizing Of few nor
NAL schools, the retention of the capital at
Bismarck and the removal of the United
States court from Yankton to Mitchell.
In regard to court removal the surmlses
seem entirely correct, the probabilities
being that the bill will pass both houses.
Special dispatches to the Pioneer Press
state that Mark Ward, Of Brrle county,
has introduced in the house a bill provid-
ing for court removal, this being one Of
the results of combination recently form
ed for the purpose of defeating Pettigrew
and his followers. The probabilities are
that the combination will hold together
during the remainder of the session, the
result being the complete defeat of the
capital removal scheme, and the further
ance of any and all measures brought by
those inside the combination. The court
will be moved if vote of both houses can
do it, as the combination claims thirteen
or fourteen votes in the council. A bill
appropriating $4,000 for the construction
of reform school at Plankinton passed
the council the other day, supposed to be
the work of the combination. That a
combination has been formed there can
be no doubt. 1t now remains to be seen
whether the forces can be held together
long enough to culminate the various pet
schemes of the members of tie combina-
ton. 1t does not now appear what
course Mr.. Huetson, council member from
this county, is following in regard to this
nti-Pettigrew movement. Hisname not
appearing in either combination it is rath-
er difficult at the present time to learn
what his sentiments are in regard to the
various combinations. ..
