their simplicity and perfection of
operation. A cut of the Fraser COM
posing machine appears in tbs arti-
Gle, from which it will be seen that
there is little or no similarity be-
tween the two, either in arrange
ment of keys, channel board or dis
tributor. Great as is the difference
between this old-time English ma
chine and the Linotypes in the
GLOBE office, it is hardly more pro-
nounced than the difference be-
tween the earlier and the later
MergenthalerS.
One Of the most humanlike move
ments ever seen on a piece of mech
anism is the distributor on the
GLOBE machines The operator
touches the. keys necessary to form
any given line of matter; then he
pulls little lever that sends the line
out of his way and begins on a new
one. AT the proper moment, when
the finished line has been moulded
and trimmed, an iron arm, with
sure but delicate fingers, reaches
down and clasps the group of mat
rices. But it doesn't take the
spaces" it has no use for them.
They are hypnotized, dropped out
and sent to neat little receptacle
just. above and in front of the oper-
ator's eyes. The educated iron arm
withdraws with the precious little
matrices in its fingers, and then
deftly sends them into the midst of
a combination of wheels, springs
and openings. They are separated
quickly by an arrangement that
never makes mistake. Each mat
rice must of necessity take its posi-
ton, like Well-drilled soldier of the
press that it is; and it will only
come forth again at the command
of the handsome and scholarly gen

RANSOM WANTS 1T.
North Carolina Senator After the
Mexican Ministry.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 16. = Senator
Gray is engaged in circulating in the
senate a recommendation to the pres
ident that Senator Ransom, of North
Carolina, be appointed minister to
Mexico to succeed Hon. I. P. Gray.
He has so far presented it only to
Democrats. All of them to whom it
has been shown have signed except
Senator Hill, and he has asked to be
excused not on the ground of opposi-
tion. to Mr.. Ransom, but because he
says he is not making any recon-
mendations to the president. Many of
the Republicans have expressed de-
sire to sign the document. and it will
be presented to them when the Demo-
Gratis shall have been canvassed COM
pletely.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 16.-Mgr. sa-

from Rome. that he would become
nuncio at Lisbon prior to his elevation
to the cardinalate. There is no evil

regarded as general speculation. It is
said that there is no vacancy in the

DREAMS CONF! TRUE.
Development Of the Perfect Type
Setting Machine.

1t is many years since the first at
tempts were made to construct a
machine that should set type. From
the very inception Of the idea am
bilious inventors who attempted the
feat were laughed at as dreamers.
Even so late as 1890 it was held to
be open to grave doubt whether
the nirlbIe fingers of a good compos-
itor, aided by the brains which no
machinery can supply, do not fa-
vorably compare, on the ground of
economy. with any possible mcchan-
teal arrangement"
Today even the good compositor
realizes that the doubt is dispelled.
The so-called wild dreams Of other
days have been mere than realized.

The land office created at Vermillion
in 1861 was not opened till 1862, when
J. M. Allen appears as register and M.
Wilkinson as receiver. The first pre-
emption claim in the two Dakotas was
made by Thomas McLeese, two miles
west of Yankton; the first homestead
by Mahlon Gore, but it was forfeited
by reason Of the Indian troubles.
Charles Cavalier made the first pre-
emption entry in North Dakota and
Nelson E. Nelson the first homestead
entry. These entries were completed
on the opening of the Land Office at
Pembina in December, 1870.
Enos Stutsman was president Of the
council in 1862 and Moses K. Arm
strong, afterward delegate to congress,
was speaker of the house. James Nc
Fetridge of Pembina was member of
the council and Capt. II. S. Donaldson
and j. Y. Buchanan We're members Of
the house. About the time of the Min
nesota massacre, in which about 1000
settlers were murdered, a settler
named Amidon and son were killed by
the Indians near Sioux Falls and the
settlers in South Dakota who did not
leave tn eterritory moved to Yank-
ton, where they fortified the town and
remained month or more. In 1868
other settlers were killed in the Sioux
valley, among them Thomas Thomp-
son, returning from Fort Randall to
Yanllton, and the family of Mr.. Wise
man, who was soldier in Gen. Sully's
expedition. On returning from 1ank-
ton Mrs. Wiseman found her son, six
teen years old, dead in the yard, a
thirteen-year-old son dead near him, a
dead Indian lying on the floor, the old

II. 1867. John e. Harrison was ap-

judge Of probate; and John Dease, SUI
perntendent of public instruction.
This appears to have been the first
civil organization i'll North Dakota, eX-
cepting the old Pemhina county Of Min
neSota. which ended, so far as North
Dakota was concerned, in 1858. Vot-
ing precincts were established at this
time at st. Joseph, Pembina, Park Riv-
or. Dead Island Cavalier county, Pop

Now Cass and Richland counties). Tho

resentatives from the Red River dis
trict.
w. r. Goodfellow, afterward prom1-
nent in North Dakota affairs, was en-
rolling clerk at the first session OF the
legislature in 1862. and Enos StutSman
was a member of the council from the
Yankton district. The Big Sioux and
Red River district was represented by
Austin Cole and w. w. Bookings In
the. council and G. Mallory, ]. G. Nc
Bride. II. s. Donaldson of Pembina
and G. p. Waldron in the house. At
this session of the legislature the fol-
lowing counties were created in North
Dakota. viz: Sheyenne. Stevens, Chip
pewa and INittson. The county seat OF
Kittson county was at st. Joseph, now
Walhalla. Under the old Minnesota
organization this county was known
as Pembina, and it was properly or
ganized as such. 1t remained as Kilt
son county until 1867, when it was or
ganized as Pembina and then en-
braced all of North Dakota in the Red
River valley. Chippewa county, ere
ated in 1862, embraced the Grand
Forks region, Stevens county the
Fargo region and Sheyenne the Rich
land county country extending south,
however, to Duel county in South Da-
kota.
In 1864 Enos Stutsman was again
president Of the council and the North
Dakota district was still unrepresent-
ed. James B. Clayton, however, the
first white settler in Emmons county,
was an otticer-assistant secretary OF
the council; and George l. Poster, the
first clerk Of the court in North Dako-
tn. was chief clerk Of the house. AT
this time there We're no public schools
in all North Dakota, but Newton Nd-
munds having been appointed govern

tendent Of public instruction. Foster
made an interesting report to the leg

The expedition was under the COM
mand of Captains Lewis and Clarke,
of the United States army. They left
the mouth of Wood river, Mo-, May
IA, 1904. The party consisted of the
two officers named, nine young men
from Kentucky, twenty-one United
States soldiers, a colored man named
Yorke, belonging to Capt. Clarke, an
interpreter and hunter. After they
had passed through the Mandan
country a corporal and SIX
men returned. The exploring party
wintered at Fort Clarke, opposite the
mouth of Knife river, in North Dako-
ia. The fort, however, was not estab-
lished until 1908. The excellence of
the country and the abundance of the
game in the country reported by this
expedition, led to it's occupation by
the several fur companies, and later,
for agricultural purposes. The reports
of Capt Clarke are as interesting as IL
fairy tale, and are much sought after,
even to this day. The buffalo were so
thick they often had to drive them
out of the way to get through. Goats
were reported in great abundance;
also, antelope, deer and bear. In North
Dakota the NIandans, eros Ventres
and Arricakees were found to have an
abundance of corn, which they were
eager to trade for trinkets or supplies
of any kind. But their greatest ad-
miration was bestowed on the iron ar
row heads made by the expedition
blacksmiths by the use of North Da-
kota coal, found in the greatest abund-
ance about Knife River.
The Astor Fur company was the
first to occupy the Missouri river. but
owing to the complications incident to

Fremont visited North Dakota Devils
Lake and the Moose river in 1929.
The first land coded by the Indians
in Dakota was in 1851 and was that
portion of Dakota lying between the
Big Sioux river and the Minnesota
line Sioux Falls, Elandreau, Brook
ings and other towns in South Dakota
are situated in this tract.
The first settlement attempted In
South Dakota was at Sioux Falls in
1856 by a town site company organ
lied in Dubuque, Iowa, but they were
driven off by the Indians but returned
in 1857. The same year settlement
was made by a st. Paul company at
Flandreau and Sioux Falls. But all
were driven out in 1858 and again by
the uprising of the Sioux in 1862, ex-
cepting the settlement at Yankton,
which had gained a foothold under the
treaty of 1858 with the Yanktons, UNI
der which all Of the lands east of the
Missouri river was coded to the whites,
not including the Chippewa country, of
course, in the Red river country. All
of the settlers in South Dakota fled to
Yankton, where there We're two COM
panies of soldiers authorized by the
war department commanded by Capt.
Nelson Miner, organized in SG1-2. and
Capt. William Trip, organized in
1862.
In 1864 a colony was organized at
Syracuse, N. v, by James S. Foster,
brother of George l. Foster of Fargo,
who was Il member of the colony and
settled at various points on the Big
Sioux. The drollth and grasshoppers
of that year caused many to leave for
other parts. The colony numbered 100
families. They chartered special
train from Syracuse to Marshalltown,
Iowa, the nearest railroad point. Gid
con g. Moody, since senator from
South Dakota. was Il member OF this
colony. Gen. Sully's expedition was
accompanied by the two companies Of
Dakota cavalry, and while South Da-
kota ana Minnesota suffered from eX-
treme drouth the Indian corn crops on

ported good. Other settlements COM
menced coming In until In 1865 the

was $l5S,0ts1. Settlements increased In
the southern part OF the then Territory
of Dakota, and by 1868 the population
had reached 1000.

in North Dakota the Delorme family
was killed by the Sioux at Pembina,
as late as 1873; Farmer Henry, at
Mandan, as late as 1875; and the same
year a herder, named Wright, about
two miles north Of Bismarck. A mail
carrier was also killed between Bis

The first session Of the supreme
court for Dakota was held at Ya1k-
ton in July. 1895. That year treaties
were made with the Brules and other
upper Missouri Indians, and $4,000 in
presents were distributed among
them. Ex-Gov Edmunds was the head
