Inc puDlc nave what facts before them
that could be collected on the subject from
the side OF the road and of the men who
quit. The fact remains tbat the Montana
Union is tied up on account of the con-
tinuance in its service of one man who has
rendered himself obnoxious to the en-
pioyes unde him. In speaking to other
railroad employees about it, their general
reply was that if they were Ross shoes and
their employees made it a point that they
should 60 out if he remained, they would
step up to Mr.. Dickinson's Office and hand
in their resignation. "And if he hasn't got
enough money to 60 out OF town on he
could go to any of the mine men and put
his case before them and they would give
him $500 rather than lave this occur"
The stoppage Of the Montana Union
means the stoppage of the trains that take
the coal and other supplies to the mines
and mills OF the camp. This means the shut
down OF these mines and mills until the
Montana Union can bring them supplies
and take away their ore. The Alice has
enough OF salt to get along with, but no
supply OF coal on hand. and will shutdown.
The Mountain Consolidated laid off it's
men last night, and SO it will be with all the
Others On the hill. Their ore bins will
not contain more than a days
work, and, unless relieved By
the railroad taking itsaway ali the time, |
have no place to put it. Thus. all the
miners in the camp, it may be said, are
in their work on account of one
man who persists in remaining in a posi-
ton that entails this loss upon others, |
OF his business. The engineers and |
6remen who have refused to continue at |
work under him have the right inherent in |
every nan to quit work whenever he |
and there are few men among them
but is able to lay off at present and go
elsewhere seeking work. /

southeast corners, and spread towards the in
terror, leaving a broad, unsettled tract be-
tween. For many years travellers from one
of these sections to the other.came and went
through st. Paul, Minnesota; and from the
very start the legislature has made laws as If
for two separate lcommonwealths. There is
a Dakota university at Vermillion, and q
University of North Dakota at Grand Forks;

Only Texas and California have larger
areas than Dakota; the former reserved the
right to divide into five states, while in Cali
fornia there is q strong movement in favor Of
a division in two, and one Of her representa-

that effect. But it takes much more than

Chicago Grain and Produce.

Chicago. Dec. 27.-After the break OF
Some SIC in wheat yesterday IN was
natural to expect a reaction, and III came
fn the shape of a recovery of 213c from yes
terday's inside figures. Speculative oper-
stors were puzzled as much as ever at the
action of the market the past twenty-four
hours. Whether the break of yesterday
was engineered to force out great deal OF
song wheat or whether it was actually the
closing out of some long lines of wheat
which operators did not want to hold
longer. it is difficulty to say. The con-
ference of two of the heaviest operators on
the floor during most of the session leo
to the belief that there was collus1on
between these traders and operators felt
rs much at sea regard ng the future as
ever. Good speculative business was
transacted, shorts covering freely.
There was fair buying claimed
to be long wheat however; it may have
been fought for a natural reaction and
liable to come out again at any time. The
market opened at about yesterday s closing
figure, eased off &c, then rallied with
numerous small fluctuations, advanced

kerday.
There was only moderate trade in corn,
though perhaps there was a trif1e more
doing than yesterday. The prevailing
feeling was one of steadiness and values
showed but little change from yesterday.
Fluctuations were limited to &c range.
The market opened at yesterdays closing
prices, eased off &c, remained quiet and
iractive closing H@14c lower than on yes

Trading in oats was more active, not
only in May delivery but also in the near
by months. A great deal of long stuff
came out during the early part of the ses-
sion, and as buyers gave the market little
support, weak feeling prevailed and
prices declined 19@%c, May being the
weakest ON the break. Shorts in the lat
ter month began covering and rally of
&c followed, and the market closed steady
at H@15c below yesterdays last sales.

The interstate commerce law forbids
railways to charge openly or by device any
one person greater or less compensation
for any service rendered in the transpor-
tatlon OF passengers or property than it
charges for a like and contemporaneous
service. This is one thing that this law
forbids. 1t does nQ, however, prohibit one
company from giving to its patrons better
services than another. Why then patron
lie the railroad that offers the inferior
train service when for the same amount of
money you can obtain superior service
ride n less number of miles and still reach
the same points The railways entering
Wichita and offering these inducements
should be well patronized. The Missouri
Pacific Ry( Fort Scott Route)offers such in
ducements as mentioned above and a great
many more which space will not permit TO
enunerate. If you are not aware of this
fact-that the Missouri Pacific railway
has elegant train service such as the latest
improved reclining chair cars and the
modern improved Pullman palace sleep

thereafter take the popular route. 1t is

years furnished to its PATROLS an unsur-

THE TWO DAKOTAS.
INTERESTING FACTS ABOUT A GREAT
TERRITORY.

Known zoo Years Ago-Yet Poorly Known
Fifty Years Ago-slow Growth for Twenty
Years, Then Amazing Growth-6oc.0 900
People with $500. ooo. 900 of Wealth.
Two hundred years ago the romancing
traveller and explorer, Baron La Hontan, was
on the upper Mississippi, and met some In
dams whom he calls Outagamis, who told
him that in their territory. many leagues
away, was a salt lake without an outlet,
around which the spirits kept guard Recent
writer's once believed that this meant the
Great Salt lake Of Utah, but more likely it
was the Mnne-waukan, devils or spirits
little more was known, and the few French
who traversed the region thought 1t unfit for
civilized occupations land for game and
Indians. Down to 1860 it was included on
the maps In that "Great American Desert"
which has proved so hard to locate and do
fine
Fifty years ago it was mapped as Missouri
Territory, little later as the Mandan dis
trict, and In lS40 congress included most of it
in the territory Of Minnesota, organized that
year. In 1854 Nebraska was made q terri
tory, including nearly all OF Dakota In
1851 congress created the territory of Dakota,
reaching from Minnesota to the summit Of
the Rocky mountains; but when the first
territorial legislature met, in 1862. the entire
white population was below 5000. In 1853
congress cut of the territory Of Idaho; in
1864 the east half Of Idaho was organized
into the territory of Montana, and in 1868
congress clipped off S9,655 more square miles
from Dakota and created the territory Of
Wyoming. Still another clip was soon made
to square the boundaries, and still Dakota
had, and has, l49, 100 square miles. OF which
800 are covered by water 1t is as If New
York. Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Maryland,
Delaware and Virginia were all in one COM
monwealth, and therefore Dakota wants to
be two states
The development of this region is phenom-
email. even in this land Of rapidly growing
states. In 1860 the present area of Dakota
contained but 2,4OO white people; in 1870
there were but IA, ISL, and even in 1877 the
increase was not notable, except along the
Northern Pacific railroad In 1879 the Won
derful boom" began, and increased SO rap
idly that in. single season one railroad
brought in 1000 immigrants Census takers
could not keep up with the increase. In 1880
the national census put the population at
1876, 1T; in eighteen months it had doubled;
in 1885, in June, a territorial census put it
at Ala, 263; but the railroad and land Office
returns showed it to be increasing at rate
exceeding 1000 week. In 1886 the total
vote exceeded 100000, and the present popu-
lation cannot be below COZ, 900, and may
greatly exceed that. The total assessment Of
property in 1887 was sl57, 0S4, 1856; the real
value now annot be much below $500, 00O, 900.
