OFFICIAL PAPER OF MCLEAN co.


Sioux Falls Press: The national govern
for bids for the delivery of stone monu-
ments to establish the permanent bound
airy line between North and South Dakota.
Congress Mt it's last session appropriated
$4,000 for this work, and those Compel
ent to Judge assert that the $4,000 will
scarcely pay for the monuments which are
to be of Sioux Falls stone. The boundary
line begins at the intersection of the
seventh standard parallel, north of the fifth
principal meridian, with the main channel
of the Bots des Sioux river. From the in
surveyed to the Sisseton and Wahpeton
reservation, n distance of 1111a miles. An
original survey will then be run across the
reservation a distance of abou 3lA miles.
From the reservation to the Missouri river
an original survey has been made which
covers 145l2 miles. And from the Missouri
river to the eastern Montana boundary a
new survey will have to be made-the dis
lance being 1714 miles. The northern
boundary line of the state is therefore just
3G1 miles in length, of which 157 have al
ready been surveyed and are to be gone
over under the provisions of the bill passed
by congress and 2O41. of which will re-
quire an original survey.
The line is to be defined and perpetuated
by the stone-m0numents mentioned above,
which are placed at intervals of every half
mile beginning at the initial point. These
monuments are to be Sioux Falls stone, 10
inches square and 7 feet in length, each
weighing about loo pounds. On each are
to be chiselled letters 211a inches In size, of
the style known as Egyptian. The signs
are as follows:
On the east side of every one-half mile
post the fraction * and the letter NJ.
On the east side of all mile posts the let
ter NJ and above it the number of miles
from the initial monument on the eastern
boundary.
All posts. both mile and half mile, are to
have on the north side the letters N. D.,
AND on the south side the letters S. d.
walton and west of the Missouri river every
sixth mile craftsmanship line-the north
face will have the letters S. C.. just below
N. ID. and T.. 1879. Two and a half inches
below S. c.. on the east and west side the
letter r. for range. and the range number
to be marked.

An excellent and simple wash to keep
the hands white and smooth after the DC
casional DISTINGUISHING which comes to al
most all housekeepers is equal parts of
vinegar and water. It is a good plan to
keep a bottle of it prepared and standing
in the kitchen closet. Wash the hands
first thoroughly in warm water, wipe them
dry and rinse thoroughly in the mixture.
The same preparation is good to remove
stains from the hands.

The Tariff on z

The tariff organs continue to impress
upon their Protectionist readers a beauti-
full lesson in political economy in the re-
peal of the sugar duties. This remission
of taxation, they declare, will be felt by
every family in the land; altogether forget
ting, in their newborn zeal for free trade
in sugar, their own assiduous teachings
that the tariff is paid by the foreign manu-
facturer or producer, and not by the Amer
lean consumer. The sugar duty, amount.
ing to about one dollar yearly upon each
head of population, the Protectionist 10Y
admits, was paid by the consumer, and
every cent of it, except the small cost of
collection, went into the Treasury to help
pay PENSIONS, as we'll as principal and in
terest of the public debt. Since taxes must
be raised in large amounts for such objects
they could not fall more lightly than upon
the consumption of sugar. But how much
revenue for the support of the government
is raised from the enormous taxes upon
WOOL, clothing, blankets, drugs, medicines,
salt, coal, lumber, fish, glassware, hard
ware, cutlery and numerous other necessa-
ries of living? Let the taxes upon these
commodities be repealed, or reduced with
in reasonable rates, and the tariff organs
would have an occasion for singing a new
er and a better song of free trade than that
which has been inspired in them by this
removal of the sugar duties. They would
have another and more favorable opportu-
nifty for intoxicating the lesson that home
consumers, and not foreign producers, pay
the duties on imports, whether the money
be paid into the Treasury or diverted by
cunning legislation into the Golfers of mo-
nopoly.-Philadelphia Record.

Mandan Pioneer: Most people who use
Ignite coal in Mandan, use the Morton
county article, md are likely to keep on
using it, in preference to the Stark county
coal, especially now that the Northern Pa
cific has added % cents a ton to the freight
: to be charged ON the coal from Dickinson.
But the fact is worth noting here that the
Dickinson people claim that their coal is
far superior to that mined in Morton, and
this claim was made at the recent letting
of Il contract at the jamestown asylum.
The claim for superiority ON the part Of
tho Stark county people was resented,
OF writing of some sort, was presented
from some miller to the effect that the
Morton county article is the better of the
two
The Pioneer is not now or at any other
time, going to discuss the question as to
the relative merits of the two kinds of coal.
Both of them are very excellent-both of
them are far superior, when the price is
considered, to the pauper mined coal of
the eastern states. Now that the Northern
Pacific is giving us good rates and doing
all it can be expected to do to enable the
coal miners west of the Missouri to get
their coal to the eastern part of the state.
the Morton and Stark county miners can
work together to secure a market for their
Sscbal. The people need to be educated in
@@lthe eastern part of the state to its use, and
~.
when they are SO educated, this part of the
state will be a regular Pennsylvania for
wealth.
