(THE FORT DODGE MILITARY' RESER
VATION.
The bill providing for tne opening to
settlement of the Fort Dodge Military
Reservation, has passed both Houses of
Congress. All land sooth of the railroad
track is reserved by the government.
The railroad company is given 160 acres
of land adjoiniug the town site of Dodge
Citv. We presume that the railroad com
pany will shortly commence the erection
of a round house and machine shops
upon the land reserved to them. This
will iuiproie the east end of town, as
many houses will bo built for the accom
modation of the increased number of work
men employed bv the company.
The lands of the reservation thus thrown
into market, can be obtained by pre
emption at $1.2."i per acre.

fPEAREVILLE ITEMS.
Daring our cold weather many people
in this locality suffered for the want of
coal and our coal merchants were com
plained of bitterly for not ordering coal
in time and in sufficient quantities to
supply the demand: Mr. Leidigh sent in
his first order to the Trinidad Coal Co.,
in August last and Mr. Hall sent in his
first older early in September to the same
company; after Mr. Hall had waited about
five weeks, ho wrote the company a letter
wanting te know the cause of the delay
he was Informed in reply from the Supt.
of the Trinidad Company, they bad loaded
a car for him several different times and
tho R. It. company bad taken it and ar-
propiiatcd it to their use. We have no
doubt but Mr. Lridigb. experienced the
same difficulty, which should be a partial
vindication on the part of our merchants
for not having a supply coal.

Reports come op from the Territory to
the effect that a large number of cattle
have drifted down to the Canadian, and
many have been picked op by the Indians,
who exaat tribute for the zeal and energr
they have displayed in looking after the
white mans interests. It is probable that
the cattlo would get along just as welt,
and lie found jastaseasrif the Indians
would let them alone. However, the In
dians are there, and if the cattle are
allowed to drift among them, owners must
expect to pay for having them picked up.
