Association of Dakota Bankers, called for

till June % and "a. The meeting will be
held in the Grand opera house and prom
ises to be we'll attended. The program has
not been fully decided upon, but it is I'M
derstood that number of able papers on
financial topics will be presented, besides
matters Of especial interest and importance
to bankers and the banking business in Da-
kota will be discussed. The association will
convene at 3 o'clock Wednesday afternoon,
and will also hold an evening session. A

various topics and general business. The
local committee, composed of +. w.
Holmes, l.. T. Graves. L. W.
Hazen, F. E. Stevens and D. l.. Stick,
look after the interests of the delegates and
attend to all preliminary matters. In adj
dition to the bankers and moneyed-men
OF Dakota, tits expected that number of
bankers and financiers from Eastern cities
will be present. The coming together of
Dakota's bankers will afford an excellent
opportunity for Eastern capitalists to be-
come familiar with the mode of doing bust
ness. in financial sense, out here in Da-
kota, and no doubt will give many re-
newed and more stable confidence in the
property of this great commonwealth. and
thereby assuring themselves that invest

GRAND FORKS, June 1S.-The numerous
rains the past week have improved the looks
of the crops generally, and the farmers say
good crop is assured, waving any pesti-
lence.. lightning struck the North Dakota
roller mills and shook them up pretty badly,
but did no great damage. &C. b. Pratt has
been attending court at Crookston during the
past week and says it seems good to get in a
town where the federal Offices have been
filed by Democrats. Rev. T. Doran of the
Methodist Episcopal church has been invited
to fly the eagle for enthusiastic Park River
people on Independence day. Deputy
United States Marshal Byrne has been at
tending United States court at Fargo the past
week. Marshal Maratta spent Sun
day in town visiting old acquaintance
and looking after his fences 80.
Politics begin to warm up, and the wire-pul-
lers are beginning to lay their work out for
the coming campaign. There are numerous
aspirants for al the different county Offices
and for both branches of the territorial legis-
lature. James A. jerks, sheriff, is d candi-
date for reelection, and those who are willing
to contest his election are John Fadden of
Orville, Thomas Edison and Theodore Holton
of Larimore. E. G. Elwood, the register of
deeds, wants the position another term, but
will have to defeat Frank Chalenor, from the
western part Of the county, in order to get it.
o. Tharaldson, the treasurer, will be opposed
by Jim Corbet and some Norwegian as yet
unannounced. Maj. J. G.. Hamilton will make
a good run for the district attorneyship, and
W. A. Selby, the present incumbent, is hard
man to beat. Johnnie Bray, the present au-
ditor, will probably be the only one that wont
have opposition. Besides the different candi-
dates announced, numerous others are con-
sidering their chances, and the Farmers
alliance has called a convention to be held in
Larimore on July ID to put full legislative
and county ticket in the field.

fall. Three prominent candidates for regis
ter or Deeds and quite sprinkling Of other
aspirants are already in the field. There is q
Democratic organization in this county, but
IT is yet too young to successfully cope with
the enemy for political preferment, and no
disposition is shown to draw party lines in
county affairs this season. In Ransom
county, our neighbor on the north, the fight
will be different, and the Democrats expect
to poll big vote there, il organization and
ruStllng will bring it out. The Dakota
Southern will assuredly be completed through
the western part Of Sargent county this sea-
son, the grade being now about completed
and track-laying is being pushed with all
speed north from Andover. Harlem, a new
town in the northwest part of this county, is
expected to be the terminus for this season.
=. Sargent county soldiers will hold camp
fire at Buffalo Lake, this county, on July2
and s.. Many of our citizens have left for
Fargo to attend a session of the United States
court which opens to-day. Land Lawyer
Wells reports business good and
on the increase, which goes to show
that great many new settlers
are constantly coming in. A great deal Of
contesting Of claims is being done, which is
all for the public good, as lots Of valuable
claims are held by Eastern spectators to the
detriment of honest settlers. w. S. Blu
chanan, one Of the heaviest farmers in the
south part of this county, treated the elite Of
Sargent county society TO grand ball at his
place last Friday night, over one hundred
guests being present, many of whom drove
thirty and forty miles to attend. The gentle
man has magnificent farm, and is a justly
popular citizen. His name has been men-
toned as desirable candidate for the legis-
lature from this district. "A new hotel is

little, if any, Interested in the
measures which are and have been racking
our hearts and minds for the past seven
months. l have just seen Mr.. Mcclure
and he is at last somewhat dampened in his
a!dor for his bill; yet he does not blame the
chairman nor any one else. He says that 1t
is yet possible to have the Dawes bill
passed. He believes that Delegate
Clifford can save the day fox him
and his people His forlorn hope is. 10
have the delegate speak to all of the friends
Of the bill separately, and tell them that he
WILL upon certain day, ask for unanimous
consent to the consideration of the bill, and
secure the cooperation of the leaders of
the house, and endeavor in that manner to
get the bill before the house. Yet, such a
method of procedure might excite the active
antagonlsm Of Mr.. Welborn, who does not
seem to care to have the bill considered.
One objection would render that plan mug
atory. Judge Clifford promises to do all
that he can III the matter. Indeed, he has
done great deal for the measure already.
But he is only delegate, and therefore
has but little to say, especially as he is q
Republican, and therefore
POLITICALLY ININIICAL
to the majority. But the Sioux bill is nom
partisan and III every sense non-political.
The plan proposed is possibility, but does
not present the elements of success. 1t has
been my endeavor, as friend of the meas
ure. because it is matter of vital import
ance to the territory, to have day set apart
early in December next for the considera-
ton Of this matter. l have advised it, aud
strongly urge it. If the gentlemen who
have the power to do so will make an effort
in this direction, and get the house to COM
nit itself to TWO or three days early in De-
cember. irrevocably, the bill can then
be passed before other matters come
up to interfere with it. That is
the only way left for the passage OF the
Sioux bill by this congress. have taken
the liberty to advise in the matter, not be-
cause of any personal interest, but because
of my warm sympathy with all matters
which so directly interest the people of tn g
Empire. Unless something Of prudential
nature, such as is thus suggested, be done.
the bill is dead for this congress, and must
go over until the congress meets again in
December, 1887 That is a long way off,
and great many people can be starved
and ruined along the river long before that
time. There is yet reserved for the BILL
the Goth of June. The house gave that
day in lieu of June12 But it is useless TO
rely upon that allotted time. The Goth
may come and 60, but it will avail this bi Il
nothing. Chairman Wellborn will not be
likely TO claim the time then. any more
than he did last Tuesday, or on the 18th.
or on May 9th and 29th. He has allowed
all of his days to go by default. and cannot
be expected to make any effort at the last
moment when the house is all topsy- turvy
with excitement and the rush of business,
and when all of the members are almost
crazy to get home and talk to the dear peo-
pie about denominations and reflections.
The bill is as dead as door-nail, so far as
this session is concerned.

why Hill Doesn't Push His Division
and Admission Bill.
Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, June 1S.-Regardless of
all facts and probabilities to the contrary,
the State league papers Of the territory, of
which there are no more than half
dozen of note, have been endeavoring to de-
Jude the people with the hope that Chair
man Hill of Ohio would make strong
fight for the passage of his bill to divide
and admit the territory. The result hai
been easily foreSeen from the beginning.
Mr.. Hill is an Ohio man, and has a large
and eXacting constituency to serve. 1t was
not to be expected that he would neglect his
immediate constituents, for Dakota, or any
other territory. He is, and has been a
friend of Dakota, and will do anything
within reason for the people there; but he
will not forget for one little minute, that he
is representative of district in Ohio, and
that he wants to ..be renominated and re-
elected. Therefore, he has been taking
more interest in the affairs of the Defiance
district, than in the statehood movement
He has not made his fight for division, and
he is not going to do so. He has other
fish to fry, and they must be well
sizzled by the 18th of July, or
he may not be here at another
congress to work for anybody's welfare 1t
is all true that he is friendly to the move
ment in question. and that he has prepared
a wise and comprehensive bill upon the sub.
iect But thai is all. He was deceived.
He was promised big backing from Dakota
He was promised petitions from upwards
of 80, 600 voters, praying for the passage Of
his bill. But. although Day and Clifford
sent out the petitions, and commanded
their workers to I'LL them up and return
them rapidly, the petitions did not pan out
well. Huron, the most interested party,
failed to show up. at ali, and the other
places were not so much interested as they
had been supposed to be. Hence, the great
moral support which Mr.. Hill was to have,
in the $4,000 petitioners dwinded down to
5000, or less. Hence, Mr.. Hill being with
out the great moral support, did not enthuse
as much as he had worked himself up to be-
lieve he would; or as the divisionsts had
worked themselves up to expect Moreover.

F. SIOUX FALLS, OAK, June 1S.-Crops in this
vicinity are looking fine and indicate
plenteous harvest. This is especially true Of
corn. which never looked better and is be-
coming one Of our largest crops. Wheat and
late-sown fax suffered somewhat from drouth
and warm weather, but the showers of the
past week have given them a new lease Of
life and probably placed them beyond danger
in this direction. The low price of wheat for
the past year has caused a large decrease
in the acreage Of this crop and the
farmers have turned their attention to rails
ing corn and small grain, and propose to in
crease their stock Of cattle. sheep and hogs.
