An Important Ruling.

Acting land commissioner Stone
has made an important ruling on the
subject of the publication of the
notice of a final proof of register at
Rapid City, Dakota, reported to Stone
that the Butte county Star had noti-
fed him that they should increase
the rates for publishing such notices
from So to so. As the law says
such notices shall be published in
papers nearest to the land indicated,
and as this was the nearest paper the
publishers seemed to be able to die
tate. Stone, however, determined
not to allow such imposition, and he
directed the register to have such
notices published in the nearest pa
per that would do so at reasonable
rates and he Cthe commissioner
would see that the lands were not
kept from patent by technicalities.

A Virginia Editor on Pic-nics.
[Orange (Na.) Observer.1


The picnic season is ready to pull.
Now, let us to the woodlands HE,
where trees their verdure wrap, for
spring no longer fingers in old burly
winters lap. In picnic garb we'll
amble forth, and sit beneath the trees,
and have our hide all chopped and
hacked with stinss of humble bees.
Wen gayly don our linen coats and
thin seersucker pants, and sit beside
the gnrgling stream while DER us crawl
the ants. Wen swallow pic mic lem
onade, to moistcn down our grub,
which people make by soaking one
cheap lemon in tub. The guleless
sandwich we shall eat, devour the
clammy pie, and sit on bowls of Gus
tard while tear bedims our eye.
Well tip the mustard in the jam, the
pepper in the tea, and try with all our
might to show that we are filled with
glce. Then let us to the picnic HE,
our baskets in our hand, and return at
night all tired out and filled with dust
and sand.
