Known 800 Years Ago-Yet Poorly Known
Fifty Years Ago-slow Growth Tor Twenty
Years, Then Amazing Growth-eoo. 900
People with $500. .000. 900 Of Wealth.
Two hundred years ago the romancing
traveller and explorer, Baron La Hontan, was
on the upper Mississippi, and met some In.
dians whom he calls Outagamis. who told
him that in their territory, many leagues
away, was 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 Mime waukan, ''devils' OF ''spirits'
lake" of Dakota. A hundred years later but
little more was known, and the few French
who traversed the region thought It unfit for
civilized occupations land for game and
Indians. Down to 1850 1t was included on
the maps in that ''Great American Desert"
which has proved so hard to locate and de-
fine.
Fifty years ago it was mapped as Missouri
Territory, a little later as the Mandan dis
trict. and in l849 congress included most of it
In the territory Of Minnesota, organized that
year In 1854 Nebraska was made terri
tory, including nearly all of Dakota. In
1861 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 1863
congress cut off the territory Of Idaho; in
1854 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
1,5OO 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-
enal, even in this land Of rapidly growing
states. In 1860 the present area of Dakota
contained but 2,40O white people; in 1870
there were but IA, 1S1, 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 $4,000 immigrants. Census takers
could not keep up with the increase. In 1880
the national census put the population at
135, III; in eighteen months it had doubled;
in 1885, in June, a territorial census put it
at AS 1858; but the railroad and land office
returns showed it to be increasing at a rate
exceeding 1000 week. In 1885 the total
vote exceeded l00, 600. and the present popu-
lation cannot be below 100000, and may
greatly exceed that. The total assessment Of
property in 1887 was $157, ,O84 1866; the real

The Postage on Newspapers.

- 41ho = osts3s0 OH NeWSp8peEBs
Some people are under the impression that
newspapers, no matter what their weight is,
go for one cent each. This is not correct,
The rate on newspapers and other publica-
tions regularly entered as second class matter,
when mailed as transient, is one cent for
every four ounces or fraction thereof. Others
will wrap the paper SO tightly that it will not
slide out. Some fasten the wrapper to the
paper with mucilage SO it can not slide out.
All matter except first class must be pre-
pared to admit Of easy and thorough exam
ination. Stamp Clerk in Globe Democrat.

Curiosities Of Plant Life,

It has been shown by Professor shubeler,
q Norwegian plant geographer, that most
plants in high ATTITUDES produce much
larger and heavier seeds than in warmer re-
gions near the equator. This effect he attri-
butes to the prolonged influence of sunlight
during the long summer days of high lati-
tudes. The difference in seed development
was very remarkable in some cases. Dwarf
beans taken from Christiana to Drontheim,
less than four degrees further north, gained
more than 60 per cent. in weight, and thyme
from Lyons, when planted at Drontheim,
showed a gain of n per cent. The grain of
northern fields is heavier than when it grows
in more southern localities, and seed from
Norway planted in Breslau decreased greatly
in the first year. The leaves, also, Of most
plants are larger and more deeply colored in
higher latitudes, as was first noticed by
Griesbach and Martins This is true of flow-
ers, many of which, white in southern eli
mates, become violet in the far north. h.-Bos-

Groulps of Cities.

One of the curiosities of New York city is
the growing tendency to form group of
cities instead of one, for as one moves about
the eastern streets he goes distinctly from
one nationality to another On one street,
OF. group of blocks, one language is spoken,
and on contiguous blocks, another. Null
berry street and vicinity is wholly Italian in
spirit, in speech, in sports and employment.
Mott street, a little further on, is the Chinese
home. a hive of Celestials. There is also a
Bohemia, a Poland, a Hungary, Palestine,
everywhere This grouping of nationalities
is seen also in marked degree in Chicago, and
in lesser degree elsewhere. It is not easily
avoided, but it is attended with evils and
dangers. It is slow work assimilating such
people into our common nationality. The
Irish and Germans most easily fuse with our
native Saxon stock. Globe Democrat.
