Of holding Office but one who had Nenti-
fed himself with the interests of the terri

wishes of the people of Dakota in this
respect was that he found it impossible to
select a citizen of the territory who was
not mixed up in some way with its factiOnal

for the people Of the territory that they
were divided into factions. II the senate
confirms the appointment. and there is no

The Park Commission swallows an
ExOrbitant Appraisement With
Rad Grace.
The park commission held a special meeting
yesterday afternoon, for the purpose OF con-
sidering the proposed Calhoun boul eVard. 1t
will be remembered that the strip of ground
1900 feet long on the eastern shore of the lake
has been appraised at $4,000, viz:
Col. McCrory, S17,5OO; w. Wander
WORT, Sc, 000; William Cleveland, S2,5OU.
The strip forms a connecting link between
the Harriet boulevard and the driveway
about the city, and the commissioners
action in acceding to what is considered to be
an cxorbitant appraisement, is taken because
it's feared that an abandonment would lm-
peril the carrying out of the park system.
The land has been appraised three times, and
Ihere is no assurance that fourth appralSe-
ment would result in Il reduction OF price,
There was considerable indie nant talk OF @
spicy nature on the part of the commissioners.
Finally ii motion by George A. Bracket to
the effect that the awards of the appraisers,
together with interest on the amounts from
June 10 be paid, was carried by the following
vote: Aye-COmmission Bracket, King,
Boardman, Pratt. E. NJ. Johnson, Oswald and
Loring. observation-disclosures Bassett and
Charles Johnson. Upon the motion Of Col.
King the sale of 900 Park Commission
bonds to raise the necessary funds for the
purchase of the land was authorized.
After authorizing the payment of several
sprinkling bills and the monthly pay roll.
the board adjourned, and will probably not
meet again before spring, President LCrlng
gave notice OF his intended absence from the
city during the winter.
