AIDED RAILROADS.

ceived aid from the Government. The amount

MICELLANEOUS.
The increase of population in Dakota from
$4,000 in 1880 to over 1900, as now estimated.
Is regarded as unprecedented in single Ter
rltory. During the fiscal year ,S3S, lag acres OF
public land were entered. The assessment roll
for 1883 aggregates e161, 49,, ga, not including
railroad property. The Governor places the
actual wealth OF the Territory ut S32J, OK, 900.
The affairs of the other Territories are reported
to be in sa tisfactory condition.
The reports from the Governors of Terri
tories show general increase OF population
and development Of natural resources. The
value OF one years fishing in Alaska waters is
estimated at A,0O0, 600, while the mineral out.
put is valued at $500 per month.
Attention is called to the necessity OF
higher penalty for highway robbery and gen.
eral lawlessness in Yellowstone Park. Con-
gress is urged to enact such legislation as will
protect the interests OF the Government in the
Hot Springs reservation.
1t is found that the public schools Of Alaska
have made as much progress as the appropria-
tons for their support would allow. The at
tendance in the thirty-eight schools was 1900,
of which ,261 attended the fifteen Government
schools.
The total product of minerals was found 10
be larger than than Of any preceding year, and
the largest figure ever reached in the mineral
production of any country. The total value
was $3.50, 439. 283.
The report of the Interstate Commerce Com
| mission has not been received. The report
