tory OF Dakota was predicated upon
the location of the territorial capital.
and there has been scarcely year
since that time that the subject has
not been one of vital interest to the in
habitants of the TERRITORY and state.
When in the winter Of 1857 the Da
kota Land company was organized at
st. Paul by one of The, shrewdest ca
balls of DcE1s,cratic politicians the north
west has known its primary object
was to secure the site of the capital Of
the territory of Dakota. which it was
believed would be established immedi-
ately upon the admission of the state
of Minnesota to the Union, an event
which at that time was believed to he
imminent. Governor Samuel Medary
of Minnesota was the leading spirit in
the enterprise. though he, of course.
intrusted the execution of 1t to other
men. Major Franklin Dewitt and BY
ron Smith were the ostensible heads Of
the enterprise. and .they executed the
work with promptness and great abili-
ty. While the main plan was to locate
the capital at Sioux Falls. the adroit
managers determined to seize upon
every other available town site within
the new territory and so be able to
