his conduct, and an affidavit by Mr.. Baldwin
bearing upon the same matter. Mr. Starrnw
said the correspondence showed that the brief
was filed with Mr.. Gray's full consent and APP

great deal has been said about Dakota,

granary of the world, but visit to that coun-
try is the only means that eau mako person
realize that the half has not been told. Its
size is almost beyond conception. being three
times the size Of The State Of New York; its
climate, delightful; the finest land OIL which
the sun ever shone; soil that will produce
every variety of grain and vegetables in enerln-
GUS crops; with railroads and nayigabe rivers
running in every direction; where bamlets de-
velop into towns aud cities with unprecedented
rapidity. This is the territory where during
the past year 100000 acres have been sold
and 100000 acres occupied by settlers-a sec
tlon of the country which certainly las the
brightest future OF any in these United States.
Aud yet you can buy land, the finest you ever
saw, level, smooth, ready for the plow, in sight
OF railroad and railroad towns, at IS to $40
per acre, and the reason it is 80 cheap is eim-
ply because there 10 so much of it TO dispose OF.
But just bear in mind that it is going at the
rate of 10000, 900 acres per year. Our head
can be had for football if fve years hence
