The lands which will be filed next
spring and converted by settlers into
farms, were the old hunting grounds
of the Sioux tribe of Indians, and on
them was located the historic home of
their celebrated chieftian, Sitting
Bull. The Sioux were the most pow
erful tribe of Indians in the north
west, and under the leadership of
their war chief, were famed for 200

such, has never been rased. He has

Captain Mudgett of Valley City, Cen
eral Peake says:
I noticed in your issue Of Monday

office with favoritism in the commits
sioning of the senior captain of the
First infantry, Chas. F. Midget, as
major.
AS matter of fact, Captain Chas.
F. Mudgett was senior captain under
either method of figuring. whether
the length of time which Captain
Grafton served as captain prior to
January oath 1895, be included or
not. Under Captain Grafton's first
commission as captain he ranked as
such from December goth, 1892. He
resigned as captain January oath,

The order of the department re-
storing to entry number of town
ships reserved as coal lands will give
settlers an opportunity to file on the
lands, and to make proof Of all cases
where the land is not chiefly valua-
BILE for coal mining purposes. 1t Is
not easy to set this matter of Ignite
coal veins properly before the depart
ment or before congress. 1t is the
fact that the coal deposits on much
of this land in the western part of
the state are incidental, and that the
chief value of the land is for agri-
culture. A good many settlers have
entered this land in good faith and
have exhausted much of their re-
sources in making the required res
idence and Improvements. If at the
end of the time and after having
complied with the law they are not
able to get title, they cannot obtain
necessary funds for further improve
ments and their time and money has
gone for little good to them. The
sending out of special agents to ex-
anime the land. and make prompt re-
ports upon all Of these filings will re-
lieve the difficulties of. many of these
settlers, and this should be done rs
soon as possible. Mr.. Dennet, the
commissioner, is q North Dakota
man and has good understanding
of this matter of coal land filings and
his activity in behalf of these settlers
is commendable.

millions. This gives some idea of
the magnitude of the land depart
ment and the immense fund that is
accruing to the comon schools and
educational institutions of the state.
The supervision of so extensive a de-
parthent requires good sense, appli-
cation and wise discretion, and Mr..
Hegge as land commissioner has
made an excellent record.

mission system of government fol-
lowing the election to be held in
April, and the nature Of the city gov
eminent and the results obtained
will depend to a considerable extent
upon the time, care and earnest ef-
fort that is given details of manage
ment by the commissioners elected.
The people of the city have num-
Der Of nominees to choose from, and
inasmuch as all should be concerned
for the welfare of the city, the choice
of commissioners should be made
with care, the object being to obtain
a board that will give time to the af-
fairs of the city and that is fitted by
experience and business training to
do the work best. There is no neces-
sity for bitter campaign, one that
shall stir up bad feeling and animosi-
ties. There are twice as many can
didates as there are Offices to fill,
and the discretion, knowledge. and
good sense of the voters is to be re-
He'd upon in choosing the five men
who will serve the city in the new
capacity. The people of tne city
have the right to expect fair return
for the money they pay in taxes, a
clean. and wholesome city govern
ment, as good systems of street CROSS
fngs and lightings as is possible, the
drainage of the streets and the
keeping of the streets in good con-
sdition, the maintenance of as good a
system of fire protection. as practic-
able, an end of the loose live stock
nuisance, taxes as low as good gov
eminent and necessary expenses will
permit, the judfcious and economical
expenditure Of public funds, and as
nearly as possible a square deal to all
residents of the city, with special
privileges and favors to none, and
equal opportunity to all. The men
WHO have been nominated are pretty
well known to the voters of the city,
and they should be able to select
those whom they believe will best
meet the requirements. The people
do not expect perfect government.
or an end to all of the things that
are fretful or unpleasant. They ex-'
pect a comon sense administration,
with federation and fairness on the
side both of the commissioners and
the people. All that is desired is
fair expression of the voters on the
subject, without the interjection of
any issues in the campaign except
those that have to do with the real
questions to be solved in the ad-
ministration of city affairs.
