acres allotted North Dakota under the ep

acreage selected from the choice lands Of
this section, will necessarily absorb a
big portion OF the vacant available lands.
Settlers who are sleeping on their

who have friends who are thinking OF
taking land should advise them to make
their selections ut an early date.

Effect Of the Decision.

1t Is said that the decision of Judge
Caldwell in the Northern Pacific tax
case Thursday, IS worth from fifteen to
twenty million dollars to the railroad, al
though on the main issue as to the taxa
tion of lands the decision is against the
company. The decision gives them a
clear title to all lands within their
grant not known to contain mineral at
the time of filing the map of definite To-
cation Of the road. The interior depart
ment has hitherto refused to patent these
lands until the railroad should produce
proof that the lands did not contain min

which has been safely harvested Be-
sides the other stock already there the

on the farm this fall. He is much inter-

Senator Saunders sneeringly referred to
his religion in his address to the jury OF

I am not like the other gentleman who
thanked God that he was not like other

common to the human race, but in spite
of being sinner strive to be at least a
good natured one, and I am such sinner
that if there is any good in any other

Asylum Notes.

In the last issue of the Hope Pioneer
is found quite an interesting commune
cation from patient in the jamestown
asylum, from which the following ex-
tracts are taken:
The crop on the farm connected with
the institution was good. 1000 bushels
of barley, 1920 bushels of oats, besides
lot of rye. we're threshed. No wheat was
raised. Twenty acres of potatoes we're
planted, yielding more than 5000 bushels.
It is estimated that 1900 bushels will be
sufficient for Que years consumption.
The garden, too, was success. OF onions
and cabbage and other vegetables there
is very great store.
There are 131 male patients and lob
females disposed of in ten wards.
All the buildings are lighted by cleo
tricity. The laundry work is done by
machinery, but work in the bakery is all
done by hand. My work for more than a
month has been helping the baker. We
often mould into loaves of bread barrel
of -four a day.
A conservatory 20x50 feet is now in
progress of erection.
