passage, but it is anticipated that six
months will be required for the COM
mission to canvass the tribes and get
the names of the asserting Indians.
This will carry it past the migrating
season of the year, but possibly squat
tiers may be allowed to take claims
earlier.
Marshal MCCLURE, the genuine son
of Erin who performs the remarkable
feat of publishing live and spicy daily
in the little metropolis of MinOt, had
st. Patrick's day all by himself and
printed his paper in green ink, with a
full page account of the celebration in
his mind.
The Portland Inter-Ocean says thatin
Trail county local option is a failure
and the people will substitute high Ii
cense when they get chance. In
Grand Forks county one of the papers
records the prediction that the people
will double the majority for prohibition
at the next vote. Opinions on either
side will generally be found colored by
the sympathies of the individual.

The editor of paper at Parkston de-
rives the impression from an interview
with Mr. Day that he has just sold
slice of his Black Hills mining property
at profit of 100000, and is making
other deals of the same character. He
evidently has better thing than poll
tics to work.

The RICHARD FoOTE troupe had an
other emeute in Clark county last week,
and two SecederS publish FOoTE as bib
ulOus and uncanny, but no hOrSewhip-
pers came to the front.

The directors of the Bismarck peni-
Tertiary propose to manufacture Irvine
in that institution for the farmers. 1t
will, no doubt, be source of profit to
the directors, if not to others.

The notable event of the coming week
will be the Redfield encampment. If
correspondent is well informed Judge
PALMER is likely to be the man for
commander. Some intimate that Gen.
ALLEN has used the position to mate
rialiZe his aspirations for GIFFORD's
position; but the gallant and handsome
old soldier has nice sense of honor
and fitness. and will no doubt be able to
show the line drawn between the Off
cial and private citizen.

SON is a poker expert, the Old-time pol

Editor JORDAN, of the Fargo Repub-

the death of his son LEsTER,at Wichita

quite reputation in histrionic circles.

While the local option leaguers are
looking for opportunities to get in work,
tn ely may note that the pOrters of the
dining cars on the Northern Pacific
often draw corks while passing through
prohibition counties. They will per-
hapS be able to elucidate the point
whether blind pigs, or those that are
are not blind, can be allowed to travel
i'll the territory.
Dakota is noted for the frequency of
its local papers, and it is little surpris-
ing to note the pecuniary success of the
editors in some cases. In the new town
of LakOta, with 600 population, the pub
lie nc nd
burned out the insurance company re-
sisted payment on the ground that the
editor burned straw for fuel. 1t was
not straw plant, however.

In commenting upon the arrest of
CHARLEY GRAY, the ex-deputy United
States marshal, the Yankton Press says
he was from one of the best families in
Wisconsin, his father secretary of state
and CHARLEY protege of MATT CAR
PEWTER. and concludes that his life is
wasted. The Minot Tribune adds that
whisky is the cause of it. If that is the
case, the local option constraints may
save him. He is still young man, and
known all over the territory.

There is growing disposition among
the militia of the territory to have the
annual encampment held earlier than
heretofore. June is named as the most
convenient time. and WATERFOWL is a
favorite site for the gathering.
The Prohibition party has finally got
ON it's feet-one foot, rather-in the lit
tie South Dakota convocation at Huron.
1t did well to indorse woman suffrage
and the W. CT IT, land these good ladies
should give it their sympathetic hands.
But as yet there is small evidence that
it will be much of factor in the polit-
ical contest of this year.

Trail is regarded as, perhaps, next to
Cass, the county of bonanza farms, but
it has only two that this year pay over
$1,000 in taxes. These are the MayvilIe
farm, S3,140.22, and GRANDIN Bros,
$3,606.02 WILLIAM WINDOW, the Min
nesota ex-statesman, has good many
thousand acres of unimprOved land in
this county.
Dakota means to put in a considera-
bly, larger acreage of wheat this year
than ever before, and the conditions of
soil, climate and the prophets all augur
a big crop year. This is well, as the
worlds supply is getting low and India
will fall short of its surplus of recent
years.

If ladies cannot vote in Dakota quite
as much as they would like, some of
them can cast just as large a ballot as
any man at the coming election for
school superintendent and other educa-
tional officials-that is, those of them
who have the care of children of school
