The eastern portian of this section of country has already been partially set. uea, ana uousenus or people are preparing to locate there this spring, reople have been going into this tract the pest winter, and ia order that these counties may be organised and law and order prevail, it ia absolutely indispensable that the land should be opened during this session of congress. The land ia fair tarmiag land for Northern Dakota. Perhaps two-thirds will be available tor agricultural pur-poses. From daUy- KBUMEBATIOB.

Sleeting te Dewta Ways aa. Accerdiag to call a citizen's meeting waa held at the court house last sight, with J. D. Woolley ia the chair, te re ceive from Dolpk Edwards, recently returned from Washington, report aad suggestions on the proposed enu meration. Mr.

Edwards announced that congress very much desired an enumeration so that it could with tome intelligence set, in the question of admission; and further, that West, of Tankten, Mr. Campbell, bf Sioux Falls, and himself had been appointed a committee to devise means of bringing about the proposed enumeration. He further thought that the work was already in progress la the eastera part of the territory. It waa thought to se cure the assistance of clerks of school districts, each to make an enumeration, but the speaker thought this an Im practicable way of doing, as it would take too much time. Judiro Moody thouaht it the wisest hto) secure the services of good, energetic mehvoaes thst could be relied upon, to take the enumeration.

Say two for the larger cities of the Hills, and about the same number lor the outside or farming precincts. The speaker said that while at Weehiacton congressmen had assured him that if we could show a population of 140,000 thai, the admission bill would moot certainly pass. Should the bill pass it would take fully a year before the state government would be ia operation, aad for that reason thought it advisable to secure the enumeration in the tpeedl-est manner possible, aa Congressman Burroughs had told him the enabling bill would certainly be reached by April 1 and will probably not become a law until about the middle of May. After its passage a period of sixty days must elapse before proclamation calling a constitutional convention can be Issued, It will take the convention at least three months to finish it lsbors, alter which an election lor state officers will beheld, so that it Is safe to ssy that It will take nearly If net all Of the time first mentioned before we begin to enjoy the rights and privileges of statehood. He further thought the idea that we have lost la population since the last census fallacious, tor evea have we lost a few voters the lota la mere than made ep by a gain 14 young people "growing up.

The superintendent of schools for Lawrence county had informed him that since the last school enumeration taken in 1880, the number ef school children had increased from 1,408 to 1,280 ia the fall of 1881. Considerable more discussion followed. Upon motion of Mr. Edward a committee of fifteen waa appointed to take charge of the eaumeration. The committee as appointed coosiits of Dolpb Edwards, J.

Setting forth that because of the attempted repudiation of Yankton county of its obligations, that the whole territory ia equally guilty, and hence not aapable of self government. They bring throe counta in their indictment, the first of which that the county ia question did in 1871 issue bonds to the extent of to aid in the construction of a railroad; that the obligations, interest, waa promptly met for a number of years and subsequently aad to this particular portion of this count we plead guilty. The latter portion of the first count and. the whole of the second count, i which is that the territorial legislature did assist Yaaktoa scanty in its repudiation scheme by7 the pas-aage of laws for that purpose and which are at this time upon its statute books we denounce as false and without foundation in fact, and to-which we set up a total denial. The third oount, which is in brief a summary of the first and second, needs no answer which is not nude in the above answer.

The Press and Dakotaian was eminently correct when it expressed itself aa it did in the following: A Deadwood telegram states that there ia no truth In the report that Hoi. Star, late postmaster at Ueaawood, bat been indictee! for complicity ia star reute frauds.

If this be the fact Star should be reinstated. He was removed npoa the represeotatieea of Special Ageht Foray that he waa aiding the swrrooters in illegal transactions, and as there is no guilt upon him, Mr. Star should be vindicated by prompt restoration to the place from which he was summarily ousted. We firmly believe him to be an honest man and a victim of the spleen of enemies. A lat New YorkvSun paid Jamea G.

Blaine a compliment, aad oaiUring the eors rom which-it am bated waa certainly a compliment to that gentleman. It ia aa followa: It is two years tlnce the most potent elements in the republican party were arrayed ia the support of conspiracy to make General Grant president of the United states for a third term, a purpose which involved making him the permanent ruler of the country. Many of the most eminent chiefs ot that great and powerful party were devoted to this conspiracy, many boneat, upright and patriotic men had been led to give it their confidence and support, but in this treat and political emergency Jamea G. Blaine stood like the recks agaiast tuch a scheme. This is a fact that should ever be recorded to his honor, and we recall it with gratitude and admiration.

WEB AT. --Soma time after the holding of the Nebraska state fair of 1881 the Union Facifio Railroad company, which (be it said 'to its credit) al ways throws itself forward when anything ia to be done in the way of advertising Nebraska and her resources, published a partial report of the fair and crop statu-' tics in full.

The wheat mentioned waa from the Spearfish and Red water valleys, and was taken from here by Azro Smith, and placed in the fair and also "the land department of the Union Pa cific railway: A gentleman who was bore a few days ago, came with letters to Secretary-Blaise, from Hungary, la Europe, a great wheat growing region, had oeen north io Dakota, Minnesota and Manitoba, and furnishes informs-tiea in regard to the auality bf wheat, and says that the samples be took tmrn the land department of the Union Pacific are identical with some of those of the north.

Mr, Price thought that an act of unnecessary on the subject, ancPtfiat It could bo arranged with the Indians owning the land by the stock men paying them some stipulated rent annually, and further promised to do everything in his power to bring about the result. Upon motion a committee of fire to draw up suitable resolutions on the subject was appointed, consisting of F.J.

The committee is to report at a mass convention of th pocple of the Blaca Hills, be held at the court house, Wednesday afternoon, March 15th, at two o'clock, at which meeting the feasibility of opening the re serration will be discussed.

Tks following Is the full text of the bill a drawn by the committee select ed fo that purpose, asking of congress authority to vote bonds In sid of the construction of a railroad into the Hills counties.

He was engaged ia the laudable occu-pttlon of sawing wood la his door yard 'When a milk man called for the tenth or twentieth time to collect hit milk bill ot $450. Determined not le be put off again the creditor talked pretty rough, whereat Richard's Judi-cial dignity bristled up aad he threatened to fine bira Tor "eontlmpt of coort" Yu old foal," the milk man ssid, "yen don't think you can fine me for contempt here ia your door yard, do you?" Richard raised himself in bis meet dignified attitude and laid oft bis hat. Said he: "Wherever Richard Glennin is, there the coort is, and when the coort lays off its bat then the coort ia in sessiea. I fine you five dollars for contimpt, and deductin' the bill ye owe me fifty cints." Old Richard's claim was not more absurd taan for a prosecuting attorney to assume judicial functions.
