Sioux Falls Press: What John A. Rea,
register of the Bismarck land office, doesn't
know about United States land laws, and
| the intricacies of their various require

volumes. Sometime ago Commissioner
Sparks sent out new blanks for making
| final homestead and pre-empriOn proof. 1t
| was expressly stated that hencefOrth only
| the new blanks were to be used, and that
| in cases where the old ones were used the
proofs should be sent back to be made on
the new blanks According to the Bis
! marck TRIBUNE, as soon as the form
| reached Bismarck Mr.. Rea set up an invest
| igati0n and discovered that two questions
required by the statutes to be answered are
left out, and to use the form sent out by the
commissioner would require supplemental
evidence and delay the issuance of patent.
1t is suggested therefore that the new form
be not used until the proper correction has
been made. Perhaps it may be well to
make John Rea the attorney of the land
department.

Sioux Falls.

Sioux FALLS, Dec. 15.-[Special.] THE
appointment Of Judge Church to succeed
Governor Pierce has just been announced
here, and naturally to be expected, now,
that it is done, the democrats are well sat
isfied, although most of them are quail
fiedly so. Everybody is confident that he
will be good governor and that Dakota
can be advanced as much in that way as
any ether. There are, however, a good
many prominent men here that never met
the to-be his exceilency, and know only of
him that he is New Yorker
A private letter from L. G. johnson, at
Washington, to an old associate here, con-
veys the information very strongly that
many parties there, even those highest in
authority, are very much aroused as to the
movement just coming to a conclave at
Huron. There have been so many report is
curious regarding what course will be pur-
sued, and the inference is drawn that more
attention is being given to Dakota ma tiers
in Washington at present than ever before.
The only drawback, however, IS that such
attention may not be of the most favorable
kind and may not forward the most desira-
BILE results. The assembling of the "state''
legislature has great many out
spoken opponents in Sioux Fails
and all Of the time. They are confident
that Dakota will not, and determined that
she shall not, go into the Union as one state
but they term this meeting farcical and
from no standpoint in good sense. An at.
tempt to learn of any member having gone
from hereabouts was unsuccessful.
