Tile article clipped from the Glendive
Times, relative to the Dakota Montana
line is of especial interest to the people
of our county. All persons living east
of line drawn north and south six and
one-half miles east of MingusyilIe, are in
Billings county, Dakota. 1t will be COM
paratiyely easy for all to decide where
they, are located. Probably, also, the
line is marked in such way that it will
he an easy matter for those located near
it to tell in which territory they are.

The government astronomers and sur
yeyors operating on the line between
Dakota and Montana have completed
their labor. The length of the east line
of Montana is 277 miles geographical
survey. These officials chained it max

which is good claiming. The. line
crosses the railroad about 611s miles east
Of Mingusyilie and leaves Ayott's ranch

were generally lower, owing to demor-
