The population of Dakota is
now about 600,000, against 135,
in 1880. This rate of growth is
without precedent. The growth
of values has kept pace with the
increase in population, and the
notion that Dakota is filled with
poverty-stricken settlers is over
turned by the result of the inqui
ries made by Bradstreet's. The-
actual .value of property . in the
territory is carefully estimated at
$320,000,000, or 533 per capita.
This is far in excess of the per
the Southwest.-!
IS
FalksV Schlitz' and
. Anheuser.
capita value in most of the South
ern states according to the returns
just collected by the Tradesman,of
Chattanooga. For example, the -per
capita value of all. property in
Alabama, including railroads, is
only $41S. The state debt of Ala- ;
bama is over 510,000,000, while the '
bonded debt of Dakota' is little
more than $1,000,000, bearing in- '
terest at from four to six per
cent. ...
The total railway mileage of '
Dakota is 4333 miles. This is ex-
ceeded in only 11 states in the
Union. Its railroad mileage is
greater, even in proportion, than ","
Kentucky, and as great as that of '
Iowa. In 1887 Dakota raised 63,-'
000,000 bushels of wheat, which is .
more than the production of wheat ,
in any state. The admission of '
the territory into the Union as .
two states will give an impetus to
the growth, and what is now Da
kota will become on all accounts a
most important section of the
United States. Milwaukee -Sentinel.
The Arid Region.
In his letter to the secretary,
Prof. Powell says thatit is proper
to consider that two-fifths of thf
whole area of the United States
inclusive of Alaska, is dependenijj-;
upon irrigation for its agricultn-
ral operations; .that it is in the
main upon these lands that settlers
upon the public domain are to
make their homes, and that there
are already many people in the
region of arid lands engaged in
mining and other enterprises
anxious for opportunities to settle
down upon public lands. He rec
ommends the insertion of the fol
lowing clause in the sundry civil
appropriation bill: "For the pur
pose of investigating the extent to
which the arid regions of the
United States can be redeemed by
irrigation and the segregation of
the irrigable lands in such arid
regions and for the selection of
sites for reservoirs and other hy
draulic works necessary for the
storage and utilization of the wa
ter for irrigation, and the preven
tion of floods and overflows and
to make the necessary maps, ' in
cluding the pay of employes in
field or office, the cost of all in
struments, apparatus and material
and all other necessary expenses
connected therewith, the work to
be performed by the Geological
Survey under the direction of the
Secretary of the Interior, the Bum
of 350,000, or so much thereof as
may be necessary, to be immedi
ately available."
The report which accompanies
this letter shows that investiga
tions Jiave been prosecuted in
Nevada, Montana, Colorado and
New Mexico. These investigations
are described at great length.
Several recommendations for leg
islation are made. Among other
things, Prof. Powell suggests that
it may be wise to cede the lands
reserved for reservoir sites to the
states and territories, under cer- -tain
conditions and restrictions,
which will effectually prevent
their ever becoming ,the property
of individuals. He also suggests
that the proposition to reserve ir
rigable lands for sale, settlement
and occupation until it shall have
been restored under the homestead
laws, by proclamation of the Pres
ident, is worthy of consideration.
Read the advertisement of the
San Francisco Examiner published
in another column. It is the lead
ing Democratic paper of the coast
and under the management of W.
R.Hearst has assumed a prominent
place among the dailies of the
West. Its telegraphic reports are
unsurpassed, its editorials full of
pith and point, and its resume of
coast news full and complete.
