We can accommodate 10000 girls
with husbands in Dakota on 80 dayss
notice." said Colonel pat" Donan at
the Grand Union Hotel few days
ago. 'Fhe colonel of the late COnfed-
crate forces, now journalist in the
great territory, lowered full six feet
under big slouch hat. 1--WE have
published in the Fargo Argus," he
continued, 10000 letters from as
many young women and have made
many matches. In May. 1880. there
was only one marriageable girl in
Fargo, and to-day, with population
of $1,000, we have only four unmar-
ried girls. In DeadwO0d, at the
height of its mining fever, in lS79-8O,
there were 5000 bachelors and only
six marriageable girls. You get
great many tales in the East aobut the
loneyoung women who take UP farms
in Dakota and reject all offers of mar
riage. Why, they don't live in the
territory a year before they are
welded.
"Most of our men went to Dakota
when they were boys, and that is the
reason we have 50 many bachelors
there-thOusands of them, all willing
to marry, The strange thing about
| it all is, most of them know lots of
| girls in the Eastern towns from
which they came and make no effort
to wed them. They won't have the
girls they used to know, and they
/ can't get any others very well. Any
attractive girl who will go there can
queen it over the whole Territory.
Montana is older than we are and
has plenty of manageable women.
My, how those girls there ride horses !

Deep Drilling.

The deepest well in the world is
located at H0mewOOd, Pa. 1t is own
ed by Geo. Westinghouse. Jr. The
average depth of the HOmewood well
is about l, $50 feet. In the well now
drilling every thing found of the ma
ture of gas or water at depth of e.
600 feet was cased off as unimportant,
and the drill at present is said to be
little over 5000 feet below the sur
face, which would make it by all odds
the deepest well in the world. A
careful record is being kept, and por.
tions of each formation encountered
preserved. Since it would necessar-
ily have to be very prolific gas vein
to justify such deep drilling, it IS a
difficult matter to conjecture the obs
iect that grOmpts such work unless
1t be purely to satisfy morbid curi-
osity. There are in Washington coun-
ty some wells drilled to depth of
1000 feet, and the only other so far as
known approaching the depth reach-
ed by Mr.. Westinghouse is an arte-
sian well in France, at which depth
of 5000 feet was reached.

The Springfield Times asserts that the
masses of the democratic party are still
in favor of division and admission, and
that only the leaders who have secured,
or expect to secure, Offices are solicitous
about the retention of our territorial
form of government. The Times re-
marks:
Whether the rank and file OF the party
those who do not want OF expect Office
ARE going to repudiate their position
of two years ago, because those who
have got office (by the grace Of the ma.
tional leaders who are opposed to divid.
ing Dakota) say 80, is something to be
decided in the near future. It is hardly
probable that the intelligent democrats
who, like all true Dakotaians, believe we
are entitled to admission without further
delay, are to be bamboozled by those
who seem to care for nothing further
than the attainment OF their own selfish
ends.

The Rapid City Journal says

Custer county's commissioners decided
at a recent meeting that no election
should be called for delegates to the
constitutional convention. The Chroni-
Gle thinks Custer county will be rather
lonesome. as elections have been called
in the other Hills counties. The law
however provides that only those coun-
ties represented in the convention shall
be taxed to pay its expenses-that is
to reimburse the territorial treasury fol
the per diem and mileage of delegates
80 there is possibility that Custe,
county won't feel SO badly when the bill
comes up to be paid.
You are mistaken. The law provides
that the expenses shall be paid by the
territory, and an assessment sufficient tt
meet the expense is to be made upon tht
several counties of southern Dakota
There will be no escaping because o
