Just now it is interesting to Dakota
farmers to note the upper tendency of the
wheat market. The sudden and unex-
pected rise is attributable in q great meas-
ure to the very discouraging reports from
abroad concerning the crop. and a re-
ported falling of in prospective wheat
yield in the west. Whatever the cause,
the fast remains that the prospects Of q
still further advance in prices seems to be
q question Of but o few days with the
present broad range Of prices. It has
often been asserted that there was money
to be made in farming only when 81 a
bushel could be obtained for wheat.
Whether or not this is true with the
greatly improved machinery Of the present
.tEy would require more competent testi-
mony than the average farmer is prepared
to olter. What does seem to be true,
however, is that when wheat sells at one
dollar per bushels everybody seems to be
we'll supplied with money and are conse-
quently happy. Although the market is
ut the present time subject to violent fluc-
tuations, the opinion obtains that within a
very short time the price will return to the
old quotation OF 81 per bushel.

y ladians Are lAcllnea n etSn.
Word comes from the Lower Brule aeen-
q that the commissioners have done MOTH
ing of Importance further than to make
peepazations for the work Of a~cquainting
the lndians With the terms Of the treaty.
Prominsnt Indians say that their people
N abeut equally divided now, which is
decidedly promising, in face Of the fact
that nothing substantial has yet been done
to win friends for the Sioux bill. The gem
srslfeeling, however, may be attributed to
Maj. W. w. Anderson, Who has formonths
past bean paving the way for success at
this agency. Maj. Anderson thoroughly
understands the Indians, and in Of estim-
able benefit to the commission. One OF

show avery favorable front. Chief Big
for the ratification Of the bill, and un-
doubtedly will have great weight. Each
day brings more forcibfy to mind the nm
paIalleled folly Of incorporating into
the Sioux bill the ratification clause com-
pelling the commissioners TO come be-
fore Q horde Of people, nine-tenths Of
whom have not the slightest idea as to
what is necessary to their well being, and
be compelled 10 sec1fS the consent Of
~three-fourths Of these people to an act
compiled and approved by congress-, the
president and the true friends Of the In
dams everywhere, as the wisest and best
measure that could possibly be adopted to
elevate the Indians to that plane which
they must soon adapt themselves TO. At
Grow Greek the folly Of this feature vas
vistbly illustrated when Running Baer, m
old, dred-up, b~ow-legged and blind In
dian, wearing a skunk skin cap around,
Grated before the Representatives of the
United States government. He argued
against the bill, stating that the Indians
had not land enough; that If q portion
were sold there would be one left for the
children, but at the same time when Rum
ming Bear was questioned the fact was
o o made apparent that he did not know
whether the reservation contained 10000
acres or 1,OOO, 900. The school clause in.
the treaty of 1856 has expired and il the
Indians are to be civilized aud made pros
porous they must become educated, and
arrangements must be speedily made to
provide schools. The outlook for secur-
ing signatures at this agency are decidedly
bright, and it is expected that three weeks
hence comparatively all the signatures at
Lower Brule and Grow Creek agency will
be enrolled in favor of the bill.
