State Auditors Office. st. Paul, June
II, 1S95.-As inquiries are frequently
addressed to this office regarding the
ownership OF beds of meandered lakes
where the waters have receded or have
dried up, the following statement OF the
ruling OF the Secretary of the Interior
and decision OF the United States SUI
preme court, and the supreme court of
this state, relative to this question are
given for the information of all parties
interested
In the case OF Hardin VS.. Jordan GAO
U. S. 371), United States Supreme
Court says: The meander lines run
ming along or near the margin Of such
water are run for the purpose OF ascer-
tanning the exact quantity of the up
land to be charged for, and not for the
purpose Of limiting the title of the gran
tee to such meander lines
In referring to the above decision the
Secretary of the Interior says:
1t follows from said decision that non.
navigable inland lakes and ponds, where
the public survey shows the same mean
dered, and the fact appears that the
contiguous lands or lots haye been dis
posed OF by the government. that the
land covered by such lakes and within
the meandered lands does not belong to
government, but to the adjoining pro-
prietors under the common la right Of
riparian ownership. (XIII L. D. 58S }
The Supreme Court of this state in the
case of Lamprev vs.State (52 MINI ISL
where the ownership of the bed OF an
inland lake was in question, held that;
When the watersI of any OF them have
SO tar receded or dried up as to he nc
longer capable of any beneficial use by
the public, they are no longer public
water. and their former beds, under the
principles already announced. would be
come the private property of the :ripar.
ian owners. Yours Truly,

THE CITYS CREDIT.

The bids of the issue of bonds auth or
lied at the special election tor the pur-
pose of refunding the Little Falls and
Dakota bonds were sold to Lucas Kells
for 1O1, and accrued interest, or a prem
ium on the SIC, 900 Of 500, to draw in
terest from the date OF delivery. There
were several bids in ranging from a dis
count of $425, 20 the premium above
quoted, and several bids of from $50 to
SIS were received.
The bonds were awarded to Mr.. Kells,
and will be delivered as soon as prepared
and their validity finally passed upon.
These bonds draw FIVE per cent. interest
and mature together in ten years.
The total bonded indebtedness of the
city is now $31 800, or just within the
five per cent. limit, on a valuation OF
about $65O.OOO.
The new bond sold at very satisfact-
DRY figure indeed, anu Indicated that the
credit of the city is not strained.
Since the above was put in type the
bonds have been executed and delivered
and the Rumsey judgment for which the
issue was made, has been paid.

\ crop PROSPECTS.

Two weeks ago this immediate vicinity
had such promise OF abundant harvest
as had never been equalled at that
season of the year. 1t was estimated
nd with due conservatism. fully fifty
per cent ahoye the average in wheat,
oats, potatoes and com, with not more
than halt crop of hay On the 5th' OF
July hot wind preyailed-the thermo-
meter registered nearly loon the shade,
followed by a second day not quite so
destructive, but bad enough-and 10,
the face OF the country in this vicinity
had changed its aspect. High hopes
gave way to doubt. and doubt to dis
couragement, and the widest pessimis-
tic reports were circulated. Total de-
struction of wheat and oats throughout
this region was declare with emphasis
by very many farmers during the closing
days Of last week, and from those in
whose judgment great confidence is
placed. They felt it too, but they had
discounted the future little too hea yily.
AS it appeared then it seemed that all
small grains were doomed. Straw
seemed dead and dry. the grain either
wholly wanting or the heads burned
and shrunken, the fields having that
dropping, melancholy look which bodies
no good to the country at large. The
farmer conteplated the inevitable end
toward which his prospects were gal
Looping and could see no way Of checking
The pace.
But relief did come and most unex-
pectedly On Sunday morning refresh
ing shower watercd the face of the earth,
the hot and thirsty soil fairly leaping
upward to meet the grateful drops.
For an hour 1t rained, not hard but
soothingly and refreshingly, and in the
afternoon another shower of about the
same duration contributed it's beni6-
cence, and the work of destruction was
effectively checked. Falling hopes re-
vived, and the fears of failure dispersed.
We shall have crop-not such one as
was promised two or three weeks since
but crop which will not fall more
than 20 or 80 per cent. below normal or
average. And that condition, bad as it
is, is confined to narrow limits. A few
miles north, few miles west and little
way east rain feel copiously during the
time this immediate vicinity was so dry,
and the crops were not injured-and
through the territory affected, where
low ground held moisture, the grains
look as promising as ever.
Corn has pro6ted in direct ratio to
the losses OF wheat and oats, barley has
suffered somewhat, rye is beyond all
danger, potatoes are vigorous, and
with rain will be an abundant crop.
Our farmers may we'll thank God and
take renewed courage.
