for the land department has been $4,000,
which is IN too much if the state is to
promptly select all the land it is entitled
to; but at the last session of the legisla-
ture this appropriation was reduced to
$4,000, which leaves no funds to adver.
tise the lands for lease next year, pay
travelling expenses, or pay the filing fees
at United States land offices for any Sc
lectioDs which may be made after the
new code goes into effect. For the sake
of economizing to the extent of $4,000
the state will be crippled in the sum of
about $25,000, the average amount an
nually received for lands leased, and for
hay permits. Should no means be pro-
vlded Tor leasing the school land next
year the state will not only lose the
rental, but will be a great sufferer from
the growing up to weeds of many tLous-
and acres which we're broken on school
sections prior to statehood. The most
niggardly capitalist would not be guilty
of such economy.
A large amount of money has hereto
fore been lost to the state through the
failure OF leseees to pay more than one-
half their rental. This came about
through interpreting the law so as to
permit the lessee to pay one-half his rent
when the land was knocked down. to
him at the leasing, and the balance when
he received his lease. Under this prac-
tice lessees have cropped the land, failed
to make the second payment, and, in
some cases, even failed to execute their
lease. In the future this practice will
be changed, and every lessee will be re-
CURED to sign blank leases and pay the
full amount of his rent at the leasing,
failing which the land will be offered for
lease again. The law contemplates that
all sums due the state for the use of
land shall be paid in advance, and the
law will be enforced.
In several counties the scond payment
on the first lands sold will fall due Jan.
uary l, 1896. This money goes into the
permanent fund and can be used for the
purchase Of school and state bonds. The
amounts due in the several counties for
this are "a fol1owo.

No Need for Alarm.

There need be no alarm over the de-
crease of water in the Missouri river,
said a we'll known Yankton steamboat
captain in reply to a question of his
opinion Oh the subject. "The average
depth of water in the Missouri is just
as great today as it has been any time
during the past forty or fifty years. l
remember when we were obliged to
abandon our trips and land our freight
a hundred miles this side of Fort Benton
because the water was too low to float
the boat in the channel. There is a long
record of steamboats, that were wrecked
up the Missouri river becaus the high
water of the spring receded and left
them high and dry to break up under a
scorching sun. Among these was the
Assinaboine in 1886, and the Chippewa
il 1859, the Rankin in 1876, and a score
of others which I have forgotten. Steam
boats can navigate the Missouri river
today as we'll as they could twenty years
ago, SO far as the depth of water Is con-
cerned. In some places the river has
been widened during the past few years
by washing away the soft embankment.
This has caused the formation of many
sand bars and has led to the belief that
the river is drying up"

a receiver be appointed to dispose of the
property and divide the proceeds equally
between the parties to the suit. There
are about l,400 sheep in the property to-
gether with tools and ranch appliances,
the total value of all the property being,
it is said, in the neighbcrhood of $1,000.
This will be disposed of by the receiver

Grand Forks Herald: Thursday j.
M. Cochrane, as attorney for the re-
ceivers of the North Dakota Milling as
%sociation, filed with the clerk of the fed
eral court an order to show cause why
the attachments of the Mandan Roller
mill company, amounting to s137, 900,
should not be dissolved. The facts re-
garding the matter will probably be
heard by a master, and his report made
to Judge Thomas, at Fargo, early in o.
tober. The master will probably be E.
W. Camp, of jamestown. If,this matter
is decided in favor of the receiver an
order to sell the property of the associ-
alton will Q asked from the court. Two
similar cases in which Rice & Quinby SILL
0OO,and Pillman, of Scotland SO, 500, served
attachments, have been settled in favor
of the receiver, and the money has been
turned over to him. Combs & Leonard
will appear for the Mandan Roller Mill
company, of Boston, in this case. There
seem to be a general impression that the
receiver will win the case and if he
should, me of the most valuable milling
properties in the northwest will thus be
thrown upon the market,

Death After a Long Illness.

died shortly before noon Friday, after a
lingering illness which las lasted nearly
three months.
Mr.. Lewis was formerly a resident of
New Rockford, from which place he
came here last winter to take a position
under Surveyor General Blewett. A
comparatively young man, he had been
a close student, and was an efficient
draughtsman and civil engineer. On
July 4 last he was taken with an attack
of intermittent fever, complicated with
intestinal troubles. From that time he
has been confined to his bed, and his
sufferings from the first have been acute
and prolonged. His illness has been re-.
markable, in that he has fought the de-

THIRTY DAYS FOR M'IADE.
The December Shift at the Weather
Bureau Came Last Night.

The December Shift at the Weather
Bureau Came Last Night.
San Francisco will have Forecast Official
Hammon's weather now for thirty-one
days, while Associate Forecaster Alexan-
der McAdie does other work at the weather
bureau and studies Pacific Coast January
weather in preparation for taking the jan
uary shift at the weather charts.
Mr.. McAdie will undoubtedly do a great
deal better after New Years, when for a
month his name will again follow the
weather forecasts. McAdie is an exceed
ingly promising weather prophet and a
meteorologist of great ability as well as
fame, and IL is quite shameful the way he
has been abused lately by lot of news
papers. Editors all over the State have
been taking shots at him for two weeks
and people have been saying mean little
things after leaving um brellas at home on
his authority, three or four times lately.
When McAdie was sent out here from
Washington recently to be an assistant
and alternate in the office here. it was ar
ranged between himself and Forecast Off
cial W. H. Harmon that they should al
ternate month by month at the forecasters S
desk and at other work. That is the rea-
son that McAdie has been the prophet
lately, and that Mr.. Harmon will take a
whack at it again now.
AS soon as Mr.. McAdie "gets onto" the
peculiar curves of Pacific Coast weather
he will be all right. He is one of the
brightest and best-known meteorologists
OF the country, but he has found that win
ming medal in competition with the
greatest meteoroiogists of the world, dis
covering new things for science and writ
ing notable papers, are one thing, and
coming out here from the East and trying
right off to tell what one Of those pesky
flows" that shoot in from the ocean is GO
ing to do for the next thirty-six hours is
another. But he is simply having the ex-
periences that every other fine Eastern
forecaster has had in the first round with
a kind of weather that doesn't work that
way anywhere else on earth.

LUCIA AT THE BALDWIN.

The italian Philharmonic Society Sings
for the Free School.
A satisfactory performance OF Donizet-
it's "Lucia di Lammermoor" was given at
the Baldwin Theater last night for the
benefit of the Italian Free School. The
attendance was good.
The company consisted of the italian
Philharmonic Society, assisted by Sig
norma Beschieri, an Italian prima donna
who has recently returned from touring in
Mexico. The Philharmonic Society is al
ready well known in this City through a
series of opera productions which have
raised it above the sphere of mere dilet-
antism. Last nights performance was, if
anything, little in advance of anything
the society has previously done. judged
from the all-round cast. The large chorus,
which is always a feature of the Philhar-
monic Society's productions, was excellent
in the ensemble work, though the male
chorus in the opening scene was not so
sure of itself as it might have been. In
the second and third acts, however. the
women proved the stronger vessels, and
encouraged by their example the men put
forth effort that resulted in the choruses
being very satisfactorily sung.

good deal CT brio, became tinged with an
almost funereal solemnity. .Artistically
speaking G. PaniZza was the bright par

voice shows wear and tear, but it was
good voice in its day, and Signor Panizza
still uses it with the skill Of thorous h
artist. He took the barytone role OF

and acting brought him much applause.

perlence, and at times she seemed to have
an appreciation of the requirements of her
role, but she erred on the side Of exagger-
alton. Instead OF singing simply, nat
uraliy and with restraint she tried to pro-
duce too much effect and too often sue

almost exaggerated piano and rallentando

have been cultivating nasal production
since he sang here last in La Traviata." :"
The defect was noticeable then, but it was
much more distinguishable last night.
Many students who have half imbibed the
Italian method fall into this error, but it
is pity that Mr.. Hodghead should do it,
for he has otherwise pleasant, even
voice. D. Valerga was effective as the
second tenor, Miss Gleason made a grace

good hands.
