Ga Wednesday the newspaper repre-
sentatives at Washington dubbed to-
gether and made thorough canvass OF
the republicans of the two houses as to
the adyisability of an extra session OF
the fifty first congress for tariff revision,
or the division and admission to state
hood Of Dakota, and statehood for other
territories, or both purposes. The feeling
is almost unanimous that an extra Sos
sion is inevitable if tariff bill i'd not
adopted by both branches OF this CON
gress, and more than half of the republi-
cans favor on extra session on the terri
torial question alone Perry s. Heath,
in transmitting this information to the
Omaha Bee, says:
Assuming that there is to be no tariff
Legislation, aud that the territories are
not to be admitted this session, an extra
session in April must be looked for.
There are number OF reasons that point
to this,e strong arguments are used to
convert senators and represen tstives
who are opposed to the iden. The very
first reason presented is of course the
necessity for an early organization OF
the house, because Of the very small ma
lority. There is no longer any disputing
that the republicans have majority.
The only question is as TO its size. Most
republicans soy 1t will be so small that
1t will be dangerous, politically speaking,
to delay organization till the second
week in next December. Judge Payson,
one OF the oldest and strongest Nom bers
from Illinois, expressed the general
feeling when he said that he expected
the new congress to meet in April
and that they could paes substan-
italy, the senate tariff bill, which
would be disposed of by the senate
this session; of course ii would have
then to pass the new senate again; that
they would admit South Dakota, Mon.
tana and Washington territory and pass
an enabling act for North Dakota, and
that they would perfect some general
pension legislation before the regular
session in November. IL have no desire
to conceal my motive for admitting the
territories in the spring. We have a
very small majority in each house. More
especially in the senate is IL desirable
that this majority should be increased
in the ffty-6rst congress-. These three
territories are entitled to representation
during the new congress. I think we
should admit them during an extra
spring session, 30 that they may be fully
organized into states and send six
senator's and as many representatives as
they are entitled to, to be regularly en-
rolled as part Of the fifty first congress
at the regular meeting in December"
These symptoms strongly indicate a
special session of conRress--strongly
enough to induce South Dakota to keep
close up to the line of preparation for
the change in it's governmental condition
which will come out OF such a session.

DAK0ra's WHEAT CROP.

The High Price of Grain has Been Duly
Appreciated by the Dakota Farmer.
Ordway, OAK, Dec. 4-The Dakota
crop report for Dec. 1st, has been COM
pieted, and shows some interesting facts
in regard to the cost of grain raising In
this territory. There has been an incrsase
in the acreage OF all grains. but some OF
the grain show o marked decrease in
yield. II has been an upfovorable season
for large yields of the various grains
end in some portions of the territory the
crops were nearly ruined by early frosts.
The high prices paid for wheat has en-
abled the farmers to realize more money
from their crops than that OF other seq =
SONS, when the yield was greater but
prices much less, During the early part
OF the season there was plenty OF mois-
ture, but since July 10Th very little rain
has fallen. 1t has been rather dry for
piowing bat the plowing Is more nearly
completed than for several years. Frost
has not retarded fall work, and at this
date many farmers are finishing IN
pieces OF plowing that they had intended
to leave until spring. A large increase in
acreage for wheat will be shown ext sea-
son, as farmers are confident that prices
will be good another season. An attempt
Is made to show the cost per core of pro.
duction for wheat. Tue interest charges

Early Inhabitants Of America.

a glance at the geologies of the pres
ent day shows that workers in this de-
partment Of natural history are enabled
to map out the continents and seas of
ages ago almost as correctly as they can
those of today-so distinctly are the old
shores and landmarks outlined. Today
we ride in cars across the American con-
tinent; yet not so long ago, geologically
speaking, vast inland sea extended
northwest from the Gulf of Mexico
finding its boundaries, in all probability,
on some shore now submerged beneath
the waters of the Pacific.
This was during what is known as the
age Of chalk, or the cretaceous period
and millions OF years ago, il our geologi.
cal estimates arc correct. The question
as to whether man existed then is an in
teresting one. Evidence of human lifo
has not been found; yet there were vast
areas of land, with animals and plants of
great variety, and as there was no physi-
cal barrier to human existence, in the
opinion of many the cretaceous conti-
nents and islands were populated by
man.
Knowing the actual conditions of life
at this early time, the strange animals
that lived during it, it is a comparatively
easy matter to understand or appreciate
the daily life of our ancestors. 1t is
evident that they were much more
primitive than even the bushman of to-
day, and undoubtedly were what we
would term wild men, living in rocks
and caves as the lower animals do. They
were essentially hunters and fishermen.
depending upon game for their susie
nance. The small continent of America
at this time had in all probability low.
marshy coasts, and the great ocean or
gulf, whose coast line can be traced from
Arkansas to near Fort Riley, ON The
Kansas river, up to Minnesota to Canada,
near the head Of Lake Superior, was .
vast shallow sea. On its borders we may
imagine cliffs Of sandstone worn ont into
caves and Quarries, In which these carly
fishermen made their homes. --Phila.
