CURED In the village of Moretown.
VT, in which considerable property
was destroyed and the surrounding
forests We're set burning. The cause
of the fire was an Over-heated journal
box in a large mill. 1t soon spread I"
other buildings with the result stated.
Had the bearings in the mill been pro
vided with some reliable sort of cleo
trio heat alarm no serious damage
could ave occurred. 1t would seem
to be a good thing for the factory
mutual insurance companies to insist
upon an electric alarm Seing used on
all bearings in mills and shops where
there is danger Of fire. A slight re-
duction in the premium as an incen-
tive would undoubtedly result in de
creased losses to the insurance compa-
MES and at the same time make II
easy for the policy-holder to adopt the
alarms.

Public school Lands,

A visit to the Office OF the commits
sioner of school and public lands,
Gays a recent special telegram from
Pierre, shows that Commissioner
Lockhart is looking after the inter.
ests Of the state in a practical man.
ner. He and his assistants have been
busy for some time on leases of which
there are thousands, which show
that the farmers of South Dakota
are finding use FOR more land than
they own, and the number OF deferred
payments being made shows that
they prefer to put up cash payments
rather than continue in debt, even at
only seven per cent interest.
The commissioner in discussing the
affairs Of the Office gave the following
data: For the present season there
has been leased 100000 acres OF land
at an average price of five cents per
acre, and there has been collected
through the department since the
Sth day OF January, 1895, Sll3,0 900.
All OF this coming in the way OF pay
mcnt on leases and deferred pay
ments on lands, the sale OF lands for
the year coming later.
This amount together with $685.
900 secured by sale of bonds to re-
place money lost by Taylor defalca-
ton will be distributed among sever
al counties and school corporations,
of the state on July L. This will
make a grand total OF $211,O L0 for
distribution, OF which $155,OO0 goes
to school corporations, and appor-
toned on the school population.
The balance of $4,000 is distributed
among the counties to be loaned at
seven per cent, the apportionment be-
ing made IN the voting population OF
the county. The school apportion n
ment will be made on the school CEN
sus OF 1894, as it will be impossible
to secure full returns OF the '95 cen
sus in time to make the distribution.
The number OF school children under
that census was 1C3,4S6 and the
$155, 600 apportionment will give a
bout $3.50 per capita for the first
half Of this year.
