The bill introduced in congress for the
division of Dakota on the Missouri river,
and the creation of the territory of Lincoln
has more merit in it than is generally be-
lieved
| The Republican press generally exhibits
lamentable ignorance on the subject of
Dakota. Its geography as we'll as its agri-
cultural resources and commercial and in
dustrial wealth. and favors division on the
seventh standard or fortysiXth parallel of
latitude for the reason that between North
and South Dakota there is belt of largely
unsettled and unavailable lands, extending
IN width distance of nearly 100 miles, now
called Central Dakota, which they
say stands as permanent
protest against the abandonment of
Division on the forty-siXth parallel
There was day when this assertion of the
Pioneer Press was true. but by the ineXor
able logic of events that supposed

PERMANENT PROTEST
against division on the forty-sxth parallel
The following comprehensive table, col
lated from the report of Gov. Pierce for
1885. shows more in detail the eXtraor-
binary development of that section and
which less than six years ago was part of
the great American desert and was indeed
very sparsely settled. 1t includes all those
seventeen counties between the eastern
tuldary of the TERRITORY and the Missouri
river, extending from the forty sixth par
allel to the northern boundary line of
the Mitchell land district, taking
in the eight counties in the Huron. the five
in the Aberdeen and the counties of Clark,
Day, Marshall and Roberts in the Water
town land district.
The Chicago & Northwestern and the
Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul railways
have ironed and ''gridironed" this barren
belt" and are just now poking their noses
into North Dakota and reaching out for
other 'green fields and pastures new" and
