County Surveyor Mcintyre and as
sistants completed a %re-survey of the
Custer townsite on Wednesday of this
week. The re-snrvey became necessary
on account Of the positive errors in the
original, and the almost utter impossible
ity of correctly determining tie boun-
daries of outside lots. The original
survey has, in some instances, been
found to be grossly incorrect, which will
result in serious hardships to some CT
the residents ofthe city who have erect
ed fine residences at considerable dis
lance back from the business portion of
the town, some of which have been
found to be a number Of feet off Of their
lots, which will involve considerable
expense in their removal. This re.
survey should have been made years
ago, but there is ONE consolation in
knowing il is done now, rather than
having the matter delayed for another
year, when the consequent damage and
inconvenience to property holders
would doubtless.b be many times multi
piled.

TEN YEARS FROM NOW

We give it as an undisputed and I'M.
disputable fact, that there is more
good land lying adjacent to the Red
River for all average distance Of forty
miles Oh each side. reaching from the
International boundary line, two hun.
dred miles south. than included with.
in an equal area elsewhere in the
world. In less than ten years this
AZ ca will produce l00,OO0,OOO bushels
of wheat in season, besides other
farm products in unlimited quantities.
The majority Of farmers will be with.
in five miles of Il side track and few
more than ten miles. There will he
more school houses and churches &C.
cording to tile population than in any
other agricultural community in the
world. The men will be the strong.
est and healthiest, the women will lie
the liantlsomest. the finest horses and
best cattle, and altogether the most
prosperous and consentcd people, will
lie found within the above boundary
lines. This mag sound big and boast.
full, hut we believe the foundation
and the material is here to make our
words true. Ten years ago this coun.
try was wilderness; the ratio of pros.
perity up to this time would give far
greater results than these spoken of,
ten years from now.

wARDwELL 4 THOMPSON,
f2.OO PER YEAR
FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 8, 1883.
TOO MANY DOORS OPEN.

Every congressman holds open a
door and invites Dakota to enter.
But while Dakota is big enough to
cut into two parts, yet it isn't posi-.
bic for her to pass through a sieve.
There is a great amount of willing.
ness in congress, but it is too scatter.
ed to do us any good, for a willie any.
way, and Until this willingness is con.
densed there is no hope for admis.
sion. 1t looks like the old puzzle by
which We were required to white a
stick that it would fit a round, dia.
mond or square hole.
The bill that Springer has introduc.
ed Is the worst one yet. One of its
brilliant propositions is to abolish all
counties having less than 5000 popula.
ton. Springer should have some
county statistics sent him. There are
a large number Of counties, too many
to look up now, that five years ago
had practically no population. that to.
day number their people by the thou.
sands and there are more coming ev'
cry day. Such proposition can only
be based OH the idea that Dakota has
attained her full growth, and nothing
could better display the dense ignor.
ance Of man who is apparently the
leader and exponent Of Democratic
views in reference to Dakota affairs.

The topic of interest before the com.
missioners this week, was the organ.
ization of township l62, range So, into
q civil township. Bathgate sent in q
long petition at the last session of the
board, for such organization, and Ham
ilton at this session, presented u for.
midable remonstrance. A large mum.
Der of citizeus of both townships were
present as interested spectators. Ow.
ing to the absence. of Messrs. Arnold
and LaAfoure, no action was taken un.
til Wednesday afternoon. At that
time attorney NJ. w. Green of Fargo,
appeared for the petitioners, and attor.
ney ]. II. Bosartl Of Gra,,d Forks, ap.
peared for the contestants. Tho prin.
cipal point on which the matter turn.
ed. under the law, was whether q con.
gressional township forming part of
u civil t, wnship could be considered
rs an organized OR unorganized town.
ship. The law provides that when
certain number of the inhabitants of
an unorganized township apply for or.
gani cation, the commissioners shall
proceed to organize it. Mr.. Green ar.
gued that when two congressional
townships were organized into one
civil township. that did not organize
either one rs civil township, conse.
quently neither was organized. Mr..
Bos ard argued just opposite. A vote
bv yeas and nays on motion to re.
ject the petition. was carried as fol.
lows: yeas, Messrs. LaAIoure, McGnin
and Haight; nays, Messrs. Bergman
and Arnold. There has been some
talk among interested parties, of u
compromise, but both attorneys pres.
ent decided that if done, it would have
to he done under new petition. AS
it now stands, the artesian well will
remain in Hamilton township. No
other business of Importance has
come before the board. Justice re.
