mously adopted asserting that the

GERS upon the Chicago, Burlington a.

that il the difficulty is not settled within
a reasonable time that all brotherhood
men uFon the connecting lines If the

IT is not a pleasant duty to criticise

business, which interests the whole
people, as does the management of
the Dickinson postofice, is conducted
in the loose II and without ap-
parent regard for the accommodation
of the public us has been the case for
some time it becomes our duty to pro.
test. Instead of a public convenience
this %postotfice has become of late al
most a public Inconvenience. AS al il.
l%ustration, only yesterday the mail
came in at IL O'Clock, noon and ut one
O'Clock the post Office was still closed
and the mail not distributed. A drop
letter addressed to the PRESS was
twenty-five days reaching our box.
These are only two of II number of
instances of a similar nature and our
postmaster owes it to the public to
improve on the methods now in vogue
in the Office and We hope he will rem

and give the people satisfactory ser

How long can the ''lntending' set
tier afford to wait before he comes to
make claim to Il Dakota farm! 1t is
worth while to figure it out and pon-
der over it. OF our vast area of nearly
one hundred millions of acres, the
government las now ut it's disposal
only 23,8ll,445 acres. During the last
six years, more than 32.0OO.OOO acres
have been entered under the land
laws, and about four years will finish
up the whole business. Outside of
the Black Hills, there are in South
Dakota only about one million acres
open to settlement. In North Dakota,
in the Fargo district there fare only
about a quarter million acres to be
had, about half of it being in Foster
County. The Bismarck district has
about fourteen million. which consti.
tute the bulk of the land now obtaina-
BILE from the government.
