DEADWooD, S. d.. April 12.-The
general manager of the f., f. d NJ. Y.
railroad was i'll town a few days ago,
and his visit revived the periodical rail
road speculations which follow the trips
of these officials. Nothing, however,
was done or made public which would
i'll any way indicate an intention on the
part OF the Eikhorn road or of the
Northwestern to begin work in extern
sion OF their line into Deadwood. After
remaining a few hours the parties left
as quietly as they came. These trips
have become so frequent, and appar-
emily so little results from them, that
the wonder is that any attention is paid
to them at all. The Omaha papers
have asserted positively that it is the
intention of the ElkhOrn road to
BUILD INTO DEADWoOD
thus spring and everywhere on the out
side this impression seems to be spread
ing. but as yet we have nothing more to
substantiate the belief than we had
when the same reports were published
last year or the year before. Unless the
engineers at work between here and
'NlulS are Ill ltC tiLploA VI illt T-lh-
horn road, there are no indications
whatever of any movement on their
part to locate a route into this city this
spring. But these engineers are said to
be locating all independent route. and
contemplate nothing more than mar
row gauge. Engineer Andrews, who
has charge of the force, was employed
by the Elkhorn road last year.
1t is not believed that the Elkhorn
would build in by way of Sturgis at any
rate, their terminus being at Whitewood
at present, and the route from White
wood there being more feasible ami
shorter.
There is one thing certain, whatever
the purposes and plans of the ElkhOrn
road may be, and that is that Deadwood
will have road inside Of a year If the
Indian reservation is thrown open there
will be competition enough for the trade
of this section TO compel any road de-
string to get in here at ali to go to work
at once. And it is tolerably certain that
the Indians will sign the bill and their
lands be thrown open. This is about
the way the matter stands, and hence
the people Of this section feel certain
that they will get a road from some
source in the near future. W. 5. L.

GOOD LANDS OPEN.

The sloWnesS in getting the machin-
cry OF the Sioux reservation opening
into operation does lot promise that
there will be much chance for the new
settlers on those lands this season-at
alleyentS. not till late in the season. 1t
is very desirable that they shall be set
tied as soon as possible in order to open
up the short routes by rail between the
sections of the South. 1t is to be hoped
the roads will be put under way this
year The lands on the reservation are
no better than are to be had both east
and west of it. In fact, it is believed
they do not average quite as well.
There is a good deal of rough and
broken country there. The newcomers
will do wisely not to delay on account
of reservation lands. Unless they come
in colonies to found settlements and re-
produce all the advantages of the civil
jzation they have left, they will escape
q great deal of hardship and waiting by
locating in the partially settled regions
east of the Missouri. if in South Da-
kota. or in the Black Hills,

THOSE SEEKING HOMES
in the West can find no better place than
at Parker or in farming the fertile lands
i'll its vicinity. Turner county is in the
corn belt, and hog and hOminy are lead
ing staples of commerce here. Corn
yields from forty to eighty bushels per
acre. Grass grows spontaneously. Oats,
wheat, barley, fax. potatoes. vegetables
and fruits grow abundantly and profit
ably. Grapes and all other kinds of
fruits grown i'll the Northwest do we'll
here. We are close to the Sioux City
live stock market and stock-ralsing is
sure and safe. The soil of our prarieS
round about Parker is deep and amply
repayS cultivation. Improved farms
can be bought for from $40 to $50 per
acre, close to schools. churches. and
markets, which is cheaper than locating
on government land away from these
conveniences. Many of our early set
tiers secured two OF three quarter sec

ers are wanted to buy these lands and
cultivate them. hence the cheapneSS of
these lands.

SLIGHTLY SECTIONAL.

If the term of Gov. MELLETTE were
not brief farewell engagement. and
there were not so general a disposition to
keep in good humor while the divorce
ment was going on. there would be
kicking over the selection of all the of
1icers of general jurisdiction from the
South. None have been chosen from
the North. and 1t is not presumed that
any will be. The governor is probably
making hay for his own barn in this
matter No special interests in the
North will suffer, probably, although
it is not an easy presumption that in
official quarters there will be very act

will be no great results observable of a

To the surface observer, and, per-
hapS, 10 any not yersed in political mys-
terics, it is worse than pig in the
clover puzzle to comprehend why peo-
pie in South Dakota should become
such extreme partisans of the Sioux

nirers of that instrument; why they
should feel called upon 10 eXpend effort,

There does not appear TO be any or

with The people who, for a series of
years. were in the habit Of converting i'll
the South in the interest of statehood
as a sequel of division. All they
have to show for their pr0tracted and
