Oc, casionally i man who.'lire* by teaming, will be found, *rho does not wanl any Railroad, and above ail would in ao manner give any aid towards the securing of one. And there are also a few who are

Bat such fogy* ism is too far behind the spirit and re.ison of the day, to occasion other than a contemptuous i.nditferance. And thftse same croakers with all their denunciation and apparent ignoring. of tlie advantages gained by railroad facilities, are the very ones te seeic the best railroad market for the disposition of their products, and then leave their money in the purchase of article's that could be furnished them within their own county. By these acts they only belie their own theorv, pay tribute to strangers, aid in building up men and towns, other than their neighbors, and with, in their own county. It is true, a man

Some also say that companies are rich, they will build when they get ready, they only want to bleed us all they can, force us to give aid to Vich corporations, and then as we would have but one road they would monopolize.matters by putting on a high tarifi for freight and passage.

Jf5f the Territory «s the^flrat day of A|jrifi 187f, and that said property was not in The Territory at that time. ' ' :

On motion the following RetfolnlfcM-jrftiado^tild. ^ •'
Whereas, that Geo. W. Martin by not complied jyitl^a cert«itt|jeoatract entered into at tflf Ragular session of the Board in October,-1877, for the hauling of only first class coal tor the County at 5 Dollata per ton, and i*. .
Whereas, that the said Geo. W. Martin has brought a poor artiole of coal contrary to said contract.
Therefore be it resolved that the Clerk be instructed not to receive any more coal from the said Geo. W. Martin unless it be good coal.
The matter of County Prirititfg taken up, and the following agreement entered into between the editors of the Sioux Valley New* and the Canton ADVOCATB, for the publishing of the proceedings and the County printing for the ensuing year, to-wit:
It is hereby agreed by and between J.
their bonded indebtedness. And as to- ^ raenib«rsi?f lh« Board b«tn« ,

the Pembina road it is no secret that un der the past and present status it is daily bleeding what little reserve the Dakota Southern has from its earnings, and under the depressed state of tke market for rail roads sfceureties, only the best can be sold, or even liyijothiciitetl for any reasonable suin.' It is a literal fact that the managers of this road can n?t with a ay safety what-ever cmbarrais Utems^lves^Cfu.rthur outlay, at least for an fndefinate time, they must have help if the road is to be built within the next two years, and as we haye said before it U the rule and not tha exception, that ro:ids now-a-days will have sub sidies. Why do men refrain from encouraging cr contributing according to their ability. We speak plainly, but is not the principal and main secret of opposition caused by a selfish jealously on the part of individuals who really are envious of the prosperity that would naturaly tollow those whose business'places them within the business towns of a county ? That this foolish bpririt of envy exists to some extent is undeniable. ~ Actions Speak louder than words, and words will often in spite of man's cunning,bubble up from the fullness of the heart.. ; Every man is bonefited proportionately by the development and increase of wealth in a community. In Lincoln county there can be ko other than a community of in tarest, between the farmer and townsman.
The village merchant, mechanic or professional m«n, is dependant upon the farmer, and on the other hand the farmer raises to sell to those who are in other pursuits thaa theirs. It is at present* and for a long time will be purely an agricultural county, hence its advancements must necessarily be slower than that where manufacturing establishments exist. And any pl«n that will tend to better aur condition, and particularly that will occasion no discrimination, should receive a united approval. -•
Local and useless ©Sorts on the part of individuals i9 build up one village to the detriment of another, should cease; let past political,or local differences be by gones, a sluggish inch by 4nch and, unhealthy growth of these localities under the unfortunate spirit that has prevailed, should be of su fflcient warning. A united effort ofthe citizens of Beloit and Canton, and ofthe surrounding country, tributary, will alone secure us a Railroad, and as that is the main desire and need now. we are pleased to learn that a unity of action is promised, and that leading citizens of these localities are now working together tor tLe attainment of that object.
Tho Coal fever als^ia resuming proper tionate prominence. That coal can be found in paying veins in this portion of-^ the Sioux Valley is beieived by those who are conversant with coal indications. Ah effort fs being made to form a company and have an expert prospect and bere for coal. Some have suggested the plan adopted by Cherokee County, la., that of the purchase of the necessary machinery by the county, to be used by any proper persons for experimenting, and if soccess-ful award the discoverer by a reward of |1.000. The Journa\ reports the discovery of a 14 inch vein 3 miles of Cherokee, and that a New York gentleman immediately purchased 200 acres ot lahd surrounding the discovery. Should we discover paying vein, Lincoln Countv would be in a condition to receive Railroads withou 'haying

T . Dayton, D. T.) " Z-.-'J January, 10/1878. f
In the Sioux Valley Newt of the 5th inst, is a commiinication from 1). B: Burke, wherein he characterizes the connty Board as law defying, and accuses' them of ignorance in construing the Statutes. As I was a member of the Board at the time referred to, I desire *? show to |your readers that the statement asade by Burke is false, ud only prompted by malice. He attempts to create the impression that the Commissioners willfuly planned the formation of School District 56, and further that they forced the Comly Superintend-ent to form that district. The facts are as follows: District 56 was formedsby the Superintendent, April 12; 1877. On the 28th Of April, he withdrew from the offi& of Register of Deeds the notice of forma* tion, after having filed it according to law, and at or about the same time he inform, ed Mr. Gould that he had decided not to issue the notices for the first meeting. An appeal was then taken by Mr. Gould to the Board of County Commissioners as provided for in Section 16 of the School law. This appeal brought for the consideration of the Board the question, Whether it was the,dnty of tbe Superintendent to issue the notices as by law required? ;
See. 16, 8. L., says *** The County Superintendent thatt, (making it obltgatory) withiit 15 days after he ha* formed a District issue the notices for tbe first jneeting appointing the place 4c, so you will see that a School district after it is founded has.certain lights, guaranteed it by law) the same as any other person, whether either came into existance Legally or otherwise.
The matter was decided on May 9th, 1877, to-wit: that it was hiodoty to issue the notices and he was so instructed.
Now did this decision form School district 56, or torce the county Superiten-dent to do any act but what the law enjoin-ad upon him. and again did it prejudice, or in any way abridge the rights of Dist 28 and 33, not in the least, for Sec-16 says, any person agrieved by the acts of the county Supt., in forming any School Dist thall haye the right to appeal is tl: of County Commissioners, if said appeal be taken within 60 days from date of change or formation, this gaye districts 28 and 33, until June 12th in which to appeal-Had they done this, the question of formation would have been before the County Board, and had they sustained the Supt. in in doing an illegal act, then this charge of legalizing might have some ioundation.-r-But they wanted their right to appeal, and petitioned lite oounty Supt to destroy Dist. 56, which he succeeded to do, on the 9th day of J une, 1877. O. S. Gilford, attorney for Dist. 56, appealed from the decision of Supt Jacobs, to tho Board of County Commissioners, the Board designated Monday, Sept. 3d, 1877.for a hearing, and the ease
ably argued by O. 8, Gilford for the appelants, and Messrs Jaicobs, Burke, and Faloon in thtf interests of Dist. 28 and 33, and after a careful inyeatigation of the facta in and the Law governing the case. The Board decided that they cannot destroy Dist 56 without the Consent of a majority of the residents of said district, ud in this you will see, that their grievances whether real or imaginary, they had taken a course exactly the opposite ofthe proviso ions of Law to obtain redress.
Next came the appeal from the decision of the Board to tlie district Court, (which this willful deceiver entirely ignores.)— Case was called Oct 18, R. F. Pettigrew appearing for district 28 and 33, Ud O. S. Gifford for 56. Mr. Pettigrew produced the petition on which the. district was founded, read the papers and decision appealed from 4c. Judge Shannon said that it was too We to go back to the formation and gave, as his opinion that School Dist 56 was£a corporation De-tacto, ud could not be dissolved without the .consent of the residents of said district, ud ordered that the decision ofthe Board of Co. Commissioner* bo affirmed.
If they were dissatislfod with this decision, they had.* legal ud adequateromody in an appeal to the &tiprfeme Court of the Twritoiy. Did they accept of this wise provision ofthe la*#t * No Sir! but iu do-ftance of Law the^ say, they have appealed to tho Temtofitf ' 8ut*erintondoiit, although no one in*district 56 knew .anything about it untilaAer the decisionwas had in the matter, and then only by hearsay. I have been reliably informed that on the 15th of Dec. a few persoit» got together, ud(aa John Brown'a iadictaaont read) at the instigation of tho d—1 nod not having few of Gttd before bis eyea wil-frilly planed this1 ^rnrad, coup do ta, ud selected a comtfittee to represent them before Supt Caton on the 17th.
These persons started for Elk Poinland on tbe l^h they had u esparto hearing, ud then and there the Territorial Supt gave die couprde-graoo to district 561, u d now its capet mortaum lies scattered in the Valley of nine mile cradc, yen it ia final, for Butfco saya Hie Law^makes it so.
The Territorial Supt shall hear and decide all appeals duly (t. e. legally) made to him. See. 6,.aow ^e LegisUthre thought proper to ame nd See 16, the sections that allowed an appeal to the Territorial Supt by striking out after the wotd to, (tho wotd Territorial Snpi) and inserting ifi
e thereof tbe. Board of County;, Gam-misaioneis hence, you readers will aes that there ou be no appeal, saado to him. ^ Aa these tMcts are ai'mane^^or tttMMNtj and cannot be controverted JT'ptopose to
