DUST HOMESrEADERS.
Auditor Dunn Declines to Cover Up Mis-
takes OF Federal Onicers.

taxes OF ceuerAi oncerS.
ST. PAUL, Aug. 16.-Nearly month
ago it was announced that the secre-
rary of the interior had decided to al.
low the State of Minnesota to select in
demnity lands i'll the place of certain
university lands which had been er.
roneously patented by the general land
Office to homesteaders some years after
they were certified to the state for
university purposes. This decision was
conditional on the state relinquishing
its claims r. the lands filed upon by the
honesteaders.
When this decision was received
State Land Commissioner Dunn was OF
the opinion that the best course to pur-
sue would be to accept indemnity and
relinquish the lands in question. But
since that time it has developed that a
number of real estate men and land
sharks, in several counties where there
are university lands, have taken ad-
vantage of the circumstances to
Circulate a False Report
that the state has no title to its uni.
versity lands, and that it intends to re-
linquish them all in these counties.
This report has had the effect of Great
ing great anxiety in the minds of per-
sons who have bought university lands
from the state, and they have been
afraid of losing their homesteads. Au'
ditor Dunn said:
There is not the slightest cause for
these people to be anxious about their
homesteads. Ii the title of the state to
its university lands is not good then the
state has no title to its school lands OF
kind. | had intended to relinquish the
tracts Of land referred to in the decl.
sion of the secretary of the interior,
because thought it would let the gen.
eral land Office officials
Out of a had Hole
caused by their error in patenting these
lands to homesteaders after they had
been certified to the state, but now
am of the opinion that it would be eX
tremel Y unwise to do SO, and unjust tC
citizens who have bought university
lands from the state. And i: would
no doubt interfere with the future sale
of these lands to allow the idea to &C
abroad that the state would relinquish
any OF them in favor of any person
who may be allowed an entry at loca
land offices. l will, therefore, take
steps to oust those persons who have
been allowed to settle upon these lands
by the error of land Office officials in
permitting them to make homestead
entries. Proceedings will be shortly
instituted in the courts to remove al
occupants Of these lands who are no
justly entitled to them by reason o.
purchase from the state"

nIlAlIIY VS.. QUANTITY.

The following we clip from The
Haymakcr, published mt Kansas
City:
"The great quantity of poor hay
sent TO the market daily shows the
imperative necessity of continually
impressing upon the country hay
men that it is quality that is
wanted, a;her than quantity. Men
go into immense fields and cut all
the grass in sight without refer
ence to it's quality, and cure itwith-
out much regard TO what kind of
hay they are making. instead OF
working solely with the view to Sc
cure the best. The result is that
arge quantities of stuff are shipped
to market only to prove a detri-
ment to 1t, as poor hay does not
pay the producer. but Injuries the
market immensely. II hay grow
ers would ship choice hay, and
choice hay only, prices would go
way up, and the money received
for il would be in excess OF the re-
turns for the larger quantity OF hay
that now comes to the market in
the poor condition and of the in
ierior quality it so frequently is

ALI. ARE INVITED.

a few days since we heard Pops
and Democrats talking about 1.-THE
Republican meeting at Baxter" as
they saw fit 10 designate the Re
union, which i'll be held there
commencing on the Goth.
Republicans go there and say
politically, just what they feel like
saying, and are not ashamed To say
it. A Republican is not ashamed
of his politics or the action of his
party, and does not have to make
excuses for anything done by the
party.
If there is an old Pop soldier
who is proud of the course of his
party, and is willing to stand up
and face intelligent men and
women aud endorse the wild va
carries of that party and it's leaders,
let him do so, and he will be ac-
corded a patient hearing.
II there is a Democrat in all the
land who endorses the action of
his party, he SHOULD go to Baxter
Springs and there, in the presence
of hundreds who have been robbed
for the benefit of tariff reform, let
il be known.
All have an equal showing a
Baxter as far as the freedom of
speech is concerned. You, Mr.. Pop
Soldier, and you, Mr.. Democrat
Soldier, load up and go to Baxter
and shoot off your mouth just like
the other fellows do. Either do
this or shut up about the reunion
being n Republican meeting; but
if you do go loaded be careful II is
with facts or you will get terribly
guyed by those who know the facts.

SUBMARINE MINING.
An Enterprise with Some Novel Fcatur'
In New South Wales.

An Enterprise with Some Novel Features
In New South Wales.
II Is proposed to carry into effect q
project which aims at bringing from
far below the lowest depths of Sydney
harbor, New South Wales, the coal
which biologists had predicted would
be found there, and which has actually
been tested by diamond-drill borings.
Transport, In recent issue, contains q
very finttering account of the scheme
now being foated on the London mar.
ket from which the following par
ticulars are obtained:
Important coal fields have been de-
velopcd both north md south of
Sydney-at Newcastle and Bulli-but
up TO the present the intervening area
has been left practically untouched,
although plainly shown on the govern
mcnt geological maps OF forty years
ago. The unQuestionable advantages
which would follow the opening Of
coal mines In the very heart of the
capital of the colony have I'd to the
formation Of q con-" my. anl i"luce our
contemporary to ta,;& q mos. .,aag1inc
view OF the outlook. Sydney is IN inn
portant shipping port, where the lines
OF many steamship companies con-
verge. and the coal Of the bed In qucs-
tion is In demand for bunker use and
export.
The borings were made under the
superintendent Of the miners depart
ment of New South Wales, partly on
account Of geological interests and
partly with the very practical Interior
view of raising revenue. The seam
was found within 80 feet Of the depth
predicted by the biologists, in u bore
hole 2.7oO feet deep. For 1900 feet the
borings passed through compact
sandstone, claimed to be impcrmcable
to water. The seam itself is,l0 feet 3
inches thick, of which o feet is clean
coal free from sand The shafts to be
sunk will be within 200 feet OF deep
water. 50 that the situation will be
unique. the saving on cost OF transpor-
tation from the nearest mines now
working bcinr about IS cents to 81 n
ton. The parent company has secured
surface site OF small extent, but has
concessions over l,i00 acres below
ground land wa.cr). and II Is expected
that several other collicrics will be
started, for which there is said to be
room.
There Is nothing extraordinary in
mining und,r water. us implied in the
statements This hns been done on the
Cornish coast and in the copper and
iron mines Of Michigan at Silver islet,
Lake Superior, bat the opening of
great collicrics in large shipping port,
with delivery from the shaft mouth
directly into vessels alongside, is some
thing which only the mines of Wash
ington and British Columbia can rival.
1t is also proposed to utilize the smaller
coal. screened from the bunker coal.
for n large electric installation and also
TO make coke and establish local smelt-
ing works.
