Milwaukee and Dakota rail routes approved amid thefts and trials
The Interior approves the Milwaukee and St. Paul branch line from Scotland to Mitchell and a spur to Armour and Kipp. Reports note farm losses by fire near Fargo, a death in Spink County, and a missing man found delirious in Miller. Court cases include Chute's conviction and an expected appeal. Territorial finances anticipate higher railroad taxes and a flour mill project in Groton. The YMC A opens in Fargo and Mitchell wins the territorial fair with bids from Twin Brooks and Redfield. The Watertown streetcar franchise moves forward with Joscelyn. Poetry and literary reviews close the period with Browning praised and criticized in London.

Value of London land for government offices debated
The Imperial Institute site valued at about £820,000 for five acres. Adjacent lots near the India Office and Charing Cross priced high, with estimates ranging from £125,000 to £600,000 for various parcels. A single acre near Charing Cross could cost £224,000, and two and a half acres on the Thames Embankment offered for £400,000. Overall, central sites command prices well above £1 million, prompting consideration of the 1861 Exhibition Commissioners’ estate.
