Section 8 of the school law required the superintendent of public instruction to furnish copies of his annual report to the members of the board of education and the members of the Legislature. From the performance of this task I most respectfully ask to be excused, unless there is some means of printing the same, in which case I would cheerfully comply with the requirements of the statute.
One great hindrance in the work of organizing the public schools of the territory is the non-performance of the duties of school officers who get no remuneration for the time spent in the performance of their official duties. School officers should be willing to devote the necessary time required to promote the interests of schools in the territory without pay, but if territorial and county orders should be promptly issued in payment for their

services, I think it would have a tendency to insure greater promptness on the part of school officers than will be likely to exist otherwise.
I have further to ask that this board take such measures as it shall deem proper to provide the necessary books, papers, stamps, and stationery for conducting the official busi- ness of the "office of the board of education."
In conclusion let me express the hope that ere another year has passed away the machinery of our school system will be harmoniously at work and that every neighborhood in this valley will have a public school in which to instruct their children and prepare them for future usefulness.
JAMES S. FOSTER.
AUDITOR'S REPORT
At the election in 1862 a territorial auditor and a territorial treasurer had been elected as provided by law. These were Justus Townsend, auditor and P. II. Jewell, treasurer. Subsequently it was discovered that this procedure was not law- ful, the Organic Act providing that the governor should appoint all territorial officers created by the Legislature. In compliance with this requirement Gov- ernor Edmunds, appointed J. R. Hanson, of Yankton, auditor, and J. O. Taylor, of Union, treasurer, in the winter of '63-4. Up to this time no attempt had been made to put the territorial machinery in motion, as no assessment of property had been made and no tax collected.
The Indian troubles of 1862 and the consequent calling out of the militia, and the confiscation of large amounts of private property for the general defense and welfare, made it incumbent on the Legislature to devise some means of liquidat- ing the indebtedness created, and as the territory had nothing to pay with and because the indebtedness had been created in defending the settlements of the territory from Indian invasions, it was properly held that the general govern- ment should foot the bill, and acting upon this view of the matter the Legislature of 1862-3, the first session that was held after the troubles, took the matter into consideration, and enacted a law, as follows :
An act appointing and authorizing a commissioner to andit the military accounts against the Territory of Dakota :
Section 1. That James Tufts is hereby appointed and constituted a commissioner to andit all the military accounts outstanding against the Territory of Dakota.
Sec. 2. That all persons having military claims against the territory are hereby required to present them to the said James Tufts on or before the ist day of March, 1863, and he, the said James Tufts, shall have the same audited and presented to the auditor by the 18th of March, 1863.
Sec. 3. When the claims audited and certified to by the said James Tufts shall be presented by him to the auditor, the auditor shall forthwith issue territorial warrants to the person entitled to the same as per amount designated by said commissioner, said warrants to be redeemable when the general Government appropriates and furnishes the funds for the redemption of the same.
Sec. 4. That the deputy auditor is hereby empowered to perform all the duties herein given to the anditor.
Sec. 5. All persons having claims andited by the commissioner herein designated shall pay the said commissioner 11/2 per cent for auditing the same.
Sec. 6. This act shall he in force from and after its passage. Approved January 9, 1863.
Under this law James Tufts performed the duties of commissioner that were imposed upon him, and there is no doubt that he performed them conscientiously and faithfully. He was a competent man to discharge an important duty of that nature in a satisfactory manner, but he must have been crowded with the work for the time given him was not sufficient to permit of such care as many of the claims demanded. Mr. Tufts, however, as well as Mr. Hagaman, the deputy audi- tor, had both arranged to leave for Montana as early in the spring as they could get a steamboat passage. The territorial auditor-elect, Justus Townsend, was
IHISTORY OF DAKOTA TERRITORY
now a surgeon in the army and stationed at Fort Pierre, and there seemed to be a necessity that the claims should be examined and audited at this time, as many claimants were leaving the country, others were in debt and could use their claims to pay okl scores and it was generally thought best that the claims should be put in shape as early as possible, as they would then have greater weight with Con- gress than would be the case if the process of adjustment was delayed. Under this state of affairs Mr. Tufts audited the claims and Mr. Hagaman issued the warrants amounting in the aggregate to $28,137.17. A few weeks later both these gentlemen, carrying out a year okl plan, left for Montana to take up a new residence.
A great deal of dissatisfaction and acrimonious criticism grew out of the adjustment and audit of these accounts most unjustly so far as Tufts and Haga- man were concerned, but that fact was not known at the time and could not be readily substantiated.
To such an extent was this unfriendly criticism carried that the Legislature of 1803-4 declared that all that had been done under the first enactment to be null and void, and passed a new law, appointing a new commission to do the same work over again. But the same work could not be done over again. Scores of claimants who had their claims adjusted by Tufts knew nothing of the second commission, hence did not file a claim. Others sold their warrants or had paid debts with them. Many had left the territory ; and the brief time allowed this second commission for their work was insufficient in which to ascertain the where- abouts of these claimants. However, it is presumed the new commissioners did their duty so far as they were able to reach the claimants, and the result of their work cut down the aggregate allowance to $19,325.05, or about $10,000 less than the aggregate of the Tufts findings. With the submission of this second report to the Legislature of 1864-5, the matter rested for ten years, when Mr. Arm- strong being the delegate in Congress, procured the authority from Congress to have the claims adjusted and paid, and this was done through an army officer, General Ilardie, who visited the territory, made an investigation and adopted substantially the awards made by Commissioner Tufts.
It is now proper to give the findings of the Tufts commission, because that was finally accepted as the most reliable by the Government although 30 per cent greater in amount than the second audit. And that there would be nothing learned by the reader from perusing the second finding because it is nearly all contained in the first, the difference being caused by the second commission failing to audit many of the claims audited by the first ; not refusing or neglecting to audit, but as it was afterwards learned the claims were not presented to the second commis- sion, and in explanation of this it was shown to the satisfaction of all, that the claimants knew nothing about the second commission. They had appeared be- fore the first commission, had their claims audited, and knowing that they must wait until Congress appropriated money to pay the claims, they had supposed the auditing and examining closed and had gone about their business, which possibly had led them to the various forts and Indian agencies in the upper coun- try, and as afterwards proved to be the case some of them had never known of a second commission and a second audit until ten years later. Delegate Arm- strong, in 1872, succeeded in procuring an appropriation to pay the claims, after the war department had made a most rigid investigation and virtually endorsed the first steps taken and the first findings made under the authority of the ter- ritory.
By an act of the Legislature entitled ".An act appointing and authorizing a commission 10 andit the military accounts against the Territory of Dakota," approved January 9. 1863. James Tufts, Esq., was appointed such commissioner, whose duty it was to receive, examine and audit the military accounts of the territory. And said act further provides that "when the claims audited and certified to by the said James Tufts shall be presented by him to the auditor, the auditor shall forthwith issue territorial warrants to the person entitled to the

same, as per amount designated by said commissioner. On the 18th day of March, 1863, the said commissioner presented the following report :
COMMISSIONER'S REPORT
Office of Commissioner of Military Accounts, Yankton, Dakota Territory, March 18, 1863.
To Justus Townsend, Auditor, Dakota Territory.
Sir: In compliance with an act of the Legislature entitled "An act appointing and authorizing a commissioner to audit the military accounts of the Territory of Dakota," approved January 9, 1863, 1 submit the following report :
Section 1. That James Tufts is hereby appointed and constituted a commissioner to audit all the military accounts outstanding against the Territory of Dakota.
Sec. 2. That all persons having military claims against the territory are hereby required to present them to the said James Tufts on or before the ist day of March, 1863, and he, the said James Tufts, shall have the same audited and presented to the auditor by the 18th day of March, 1863.
ADJUTANT GENERAL'S ORDER NO. 12
To Captains F. M. Zeibach, A. W. Puett, Daniel Gifford, A. J. Bell and Mahlon Gore, Dakota Militia :
By order of the commander-in-chief, I am directed to instruct all captains of militia companies raised in the territory under the proclamation of the governor issued August 30, 1862, for protection against Indians, to report themselves without delay to the llon. James Tufts at Yankton, who, by an act of the Territorial Legislature, approved Jannary 9. 1863. has been appointed a commissioner to audit the military accounts of the territory, and you will then and there present for adjustment the properly authenticated accounts and claims of your respective companies for services and material furnished for the public defense. By order of the commander-in-chief.
C. P. BOOGE, Adjutant General.
In pursuance of said act and in conformity to the above order, I entered upon the dis- charge of the duties of the responsible trust confided to me. It will be observed that the enactment conferred plenipotentiary powers upon the commissioner in discharge of the duties imposed, without enjoining any special directions, or providing for the defrayment of such expenses that might be incurred in obtaining evidence, or examining witnesses necessary to a just and equitable adjustment of the claims presented. In the absence of all directionary provisions, the commissioner established as a rule that all claims presented, whether for material furnished, labor performed, or service rendered, should be authenti- cated and duly certified to by the commander-in-chief of the militia, or by the captains or some commissioned officer in command of the county or district where the expense was incurred. Under this rule the commissioner has acted, and in auditing the claims herewith presented he has in no instance sought to obtain testimony beyond the authentication of the commanding officer.
The few claims that have been presented for material and labor have in nearly every case, in the opinion of the commissioner, been marked by moderation and justice, and this class of accounts have, with perhaps an exception or two, been allowed in full. The accounts of militia companies for military services rendered were in most cases unavoidably conflicting and irregular. The names of the same individuals, in several instances, appeared on different rolls, but in all cases duly certified by the proper officer. This clashing in the returns of the various commanders is attributed to the unfitness and incongruity of our own present militia law, together with those conspiring circumstances incident to an unsettled and alarmed state of the public at the time the several companies were ordered into service, and in the opinion of the commissioner such collisions were inevitable and therefore excusable.
The proclamation under which the militia of the Territory was organized and called into active service was issued on the 30th day of August, 1862. The order has not been revoked at the present writing, nor has the militia been discharged from service by any official order or otherwise. Under these circumstances the captains could not do otherwise than present their claims for pay from the time they entered the service to the first day of the present month. Though not in constant service they were obliged, under the law, to hold themselves in readiness, subject to the orders of the commander-in-chief. and by virtue of the existing orders they are entitled to the presumption of uninterrupted active service. While the commissioner, therefore, deems the accounts of the militia men for four months' pay as reasonable and justifiable by the outstanding orders of the executive of the territory, he is quite aware that the term of actual service would fall considerably short of the period named above, and the commissioner has therefore endeavored to approximate, in auditing these pay accounts, as nearly as in his power, to such time as would be warranted by facts, paying due regard to the interest of claimants, and according these the benefit of any uncer-
390

tainty or margin of doubt existing. The commissioner believes that some companies have performed more actual service than others, but as there was no evidence before him to show the length of time which any of them had been in actual service, other than the muster rolls, he resorted to a uniform rule of allowance, as may be seen by the schedule hereto appended. In conforming to this rule it may be that slight injustice has been done in some cases, but the commissioner is confident that no other rule could have been pursued whereby more exact justice could have been accorded.
The commissioner trusts that the incompleteness of our territorial militia system, and the complications and embarrassments consequent thereto, together with the meager provisions of the law creating this commission, and a desire to award to the yeoman militia of Dakota their full and just deserts will furnish a plenary excuse for his shortcomings and pardon to him those errors into which he may have unconsciously fallen.
All of which is respectfully submitted.
JAMES TUFTS, Commissioner.
