The $1.s5 Land Meeting.

An enthusiastic meeting of settlers
from all parts of North Dakota, in
the interest of sl.25 land legislation
was held at Bismarck on Wednesday
J. A. Rea, S. H. Thompson, David
Stewart and others addressed the
meeting. Resolutions were adopted
warmly endorsing the amendment
now before the senate committee on
public lands, reducing the price to
$l.25 and urging its favorable con.
sideration as an act of justice to both
the settler and the country he has
como to inhabit. A committee of
three consisting of J. +. Perry, w. j.
Medarie and s. s. Veeder were APP.
pointed to wait on the
boards of county commissioners then
in session at Bismarck and request
their cooperation. A committee of
five was also appointed to wait on
the territorial Legislature with the
view of securing its assistance. The
committee consisted of j. A. Rea,
$. II. Thompson, II. G. Armstrong
and ]. Satterlund. 0. F. Davis was
appointed q committee of one to
lay the matter before the senate land
committee at Washington. The
progress of this measure for the re.
lief of the settlers is due to the un-
tiring efforts of Register Rea.

Horse Breeding in America.

Fifteen million of horses are now
owned in America, and more than a
million year must be bred to keep
up the supply. The largest portion
of these are used for agricultural and
heavy draft purposes, and such horses
bring from Sl75 to $3.50 each. 1t
would be impossible to breed them if
it were not for the importations of
Percheron horses. 500 stations are
now annually imported from France
to the United States. The immense
wealth they are adding to the nation
will be better understood when it is
known that the first cross Of Perch
eron stallion with a native mare dou.
bles the selling value of the colt
when mature. Large numbers of
Percheron stations are exported
from the United States by Canadian
breeders to renew the old French
blood so highly priced, and also to
give quality, style and action to the
large English Draft and Clydesdale
stock which has been bred there so
long. Nearly one hundred Percheron
stations have been sold to Canada
during the past two years by NJ. w.
Durham, "Oaklawn Farm" Wayne.
Illinois, the greatest importer of the
French race, who has imported from
France nearly 1000 head. He now
has on hand several hundred of the
finest Percherons to he found in
France, nearly all recorded with
their pedigrees in the Percheron Stud
Book of France.

The banquet given by the citizens
of Bismarck to the members of the
legislature Wednesday evening in the
new capitol was the most brilliant
social gathering ever held in the
territory and would have been a
credit to New York state. Over two
thousand people were in attendance
from all parts of the territory.
We have received a postal card
from the county clerk of Roberts
county which reads as follows:
"Whereas, the report has been cir
culated that the county seat of Rob.
erts county has been removed from
Travare to Wilmot, notice is hereby
given that said report is false.
That Travare is the only seat of gov
ernment for said county, and that all
papers for record should be addressed
to this place"
The commissioners are called to
meet in special session on Monday
next to appoint justices of the peace
and conxtables for the county. This
action is brought about by al opinion
from Attorney General Hughes,
stating that by an act of Congress,
which he had overlooked, the com.
missioners have power to appoint and
fill vacancies in these offices. This
will put an end to the mooted ques'
tion as to justices.

COMPARISONS.

Compared with the whole, very lit.
tie of the ''Bismarck district" has
been taken under the public land
laws. The total area, preservation"
included, is about the same IA the
state of Ohio. OF this domain, COM
prising over 1920 townships, 268 have
been surveyed and the plats filed.
Of this surveyed area, fully one-half
is vacant and subject to entry and
settlement by the first colner.-Bis.

The Land Business For the Year In
This District.

Excepting the year 1883, the "old
year" has been the best in the history
of tho Bismarck district. The gen.
eral depression retarded immigration
as we'll other movements, Including
the railroad selections, the total acre.
age of public lands disposed of was
nearly three millions. In 1883 the
homesteaders exceeded the pre.emp.
tors two to one. The past year the
difference in favor of the homestead.
ers was only eighty-three. The total
cash receipts of the Office for the
year was $03,692.

HOWARD FARMER.


A little the slickest piece of swim.
ding is being pc rpetrated by a fellow
going through the country selling u
combined machine for shelling and
grinding feed. He states that he is
not selling the sample machine. but
is simply showing their good quail
ties. Still he would take orders but
he must have certified statement of
what the farmer is worth before he
would dispose of the right. In about
two weeks afterward the farmer
learned to his SORROW that he indorsed
a note for 5000.
YANKTON HERALD.
The Herald regrets to see its able
Illinois contemporary, the Peoria
National Democrat, oppose the divi.
sion Of Dakota. Still, that could be
excused if it would not add insult to
injury by traduclng the resources and
advantages Of the territory rs favor.
able place for settlement. Many
Illinois people have changed their
residence to Dakota during the past
few years and we venture the asser.
tion that not one among them regrets
the move. All agreo that Dakota is
superior to Illinois in almost all par.
ticulars as a place for perman set
tlement.
MANDAN PIONEER.
A good many Morton county farm
ers are having serious trouble with
their hogs. Cholera has overtaken
the swine and some so or go have
died and others are about to breathe
their last gasp. There appears to be
a pretty general opinion in some cir
cles that the complaint can he cured
if the owners of the hogs will go to
a little trouble to investigate and act
upon certain we'll defined rules.
DEVILS LAKE 1NTER.oCEAN.
1t is disgusting to read the reasons
put forth by the Democratic press Of
the territory why Dakota should not
be admitted. Either Dakota should
be admitted or it should not. Fair.
minded men have no patience with
the party arguments that may be nd.
vanced pro or con. The Democratic
papers out-waist-coat Senator Vest in
discussing the question. Demagogy
should he made penal offense.
The Dickinson press., 1885-01-17
He Opposes the Reduction.

Editor Dickinson Press:
l am one of perhaps = very few
that do not see that the reduction of
the price of public lands to $l.25 per
acre would be a benefit to this coun-
try or to majority of the actual set
tiers in it, and / would like to ex-
press myself through your columns
to that effect.
In the first place the argument that
parties would be enabled to prove up
if the reduction was made, when
otherwise they would not, to my
mind, is the very best reason in the
world why such reduction should not
be made; and why! Because, many,
especially the young men, the float
ing population would be thus enabled
to more quickly dispose of their lands
to spectators and those wanting to
open bonanza farms, because the
lands could be offered at reduction
of just this $l.25 and the holder or
locator of such lands would receive
a better margin than though he had
to pay $3.50, thus giving him dou-
BILE chance to sell and transfer his
land to the above mentioned men, in-
stead of holding his homestead and
improving the same and staying in
the country to grow up with it and
becoming a taxpayer and, in fact, be.
coming just what would be of the
most benefit to himself and the COM
munity in which he lives, nam ely,
an actual settler, not a speculator.
Another fallacy, to my mind, is the
argument used that a man would be
enabled to borrow this amount, viz
5000, when he could not borrow $4OO.
And why does he want to borrow
this amount at all if he is a home.
steader! Why does he want to run
in debt, when five years residence
will give him just as good title to
his land as committing and paying
for the land will, and beside will save
him the interest on the amount Dor.
rowed! The whole matter in nut
she'll is the actual settler will be
much better off to hold his claim,
husband his means, stay in the coun.
try, keep out Of debt, be satisfied to
let the government keep faith
with the railroad company,
attend to improving their homes; not
prove up and possibly move into
some adjacent town or village and
lay around and idle away his time as
many will do, if relieved from the re-
sponsibility of living on their claims
after having commuted their home
steads. AS for the aforementioned
young single men, not all in the coun.
try will do as have said, but from
coreful observation am bold to say,
that am convinced that many are
now only too anxious to have the re.
duction made that they may avail
themselves of it to offer their claims
for sale, but have made their boast
that this reduction if made would ell
able them to demand a much larger
margin or profit on their claims than
they otherwise conld. And furth
er the likelihood that the pre-emp
tion and tree culture acts will be re.
pealed in the near future adds haste
to the speculative fraternity in their
attempt to have this reduction made
that they may still have chances to
buy at the smallest price and get to-
gether large tracts of choice lands in
this part of the country, we'll know
ing that this reduction does not mean
5000 in the settlers pocket but in
their own.
Yours Respectfully,
G. S. CRYNE.
