We received paper this week con-
tanning remarkable offer, to-wit, that
for every subscriber. at a dollar.and-a-
half, a deed for town lot would be sent,
in a thriving town in Missouri. Many
others will probably get the paper and
wonder how it could be done. Well,
there is a hint that if you want your lot
selected that you can enclose sum Of
money to certain party and he will pick
out good lot for you. Then again you
are told that it will be necessary TO re-
cord the deed. Now figuring Sl.50 for
subscription, SO cents fee for choice Of
lot. sl.OO for recording, and perhaps
fee or two not mentioned. This makes
at the least 800 per lot, and - the lots
will 20 about eight to the acre, the COM
bination of publishers, agents and regis
ter Of deeds will get about s2400 per
acre for what is more than likely WORTH
less land. The same scheme was shown
up in Florida few years since and II is
no doubt fraud of the first water.
1t gave US pleasure to meet Judge
Armstrong, of Pen,bina, yesterday in the
land office, where the judge was on
business. Few men in this part of the
country have been more highly honored
or had greater distinction conferred up
on them than the judge. Born in Otta-
va, Canada, the judge received a CLASH
cal education and soon became power
in that community. He was John A.
Macdonald. the Canadian premiers right
bower and received the entire command
of ia corps of troops raised to rebel the
Fenian invasion in 1870. The vicissi-
tudes of Judge Armstrong; life have
been many, but he still retains that
tranquility of spirit and amiability Of
disposition that have marked his whole
life tlrougl.-Grand Forks Plaindealer.
The Dakota question has simply re-
solved itself into this: Ifan extra ses-
eion of congress is held South Dakota
can be Immediately admitted under the
adopted constitution and enabling acts
can be passed for North Dakota and the
other territories. Ifan extra session is
not called, it will then be clearly the
duty of the forthcoming territorial legis-
lature to provide for the holding of a
constitutional convention for North Da-
kota next summer. Both sections will
then be ready for statehood as soon as
congress, year from this winter, can set
the machinery in motion. This is the
whole question in nutshell.
Governor Church has elected Mr.. j.
w. Harden to Office by his single vote.
Mr.. Harden is now adj. general of the
Militia of Dakota. Mr.. Harden is an old
soldier and will no doubt perform the
duties of Office with credit.
Peck's Sun suggests that as the whole
election turns OH New York city. it
might be just as we'll to save election
expenses and let them determine the
result.
