Land CommI.sioner.s Report.

The report of State Land Commits
sioner French refers at length to tax
titles and homestead laws. He says
that the legislature should, and un-
doubtedly WILL protect homesteaders
whose homes were endangered by the
supreme courts decision in the case of
the Connecticut Mutual Life Insurance
Co. VS.. Eugene Il. Wood, which mate
rally affected the states title to some
of tae tax homestead lands and caused
widespread uneasiness among those
who had in good faith entered upon
the lands and were faithfully carrying
out their part of the contract with the
state. Legislation should promptly
be enacted making it possible for the
state to guarantee every homesteader
upon these lands that at the end of five
years residence a deed will be given
and the home secured to those who so
richly deserve it. There is no other
honorable course for the state to pur-
sue" During the past year there has
been licensed to settlers 81, 107 acres of
tax homestead lands. Last year there
these tax homestead lands.
In reference to the sugar beet indus
try in Michigan, which originated

Office, the report says that for the first

structed near Bay City and will take
care of this years crop of $500 acres OF
beets. Michigan has sufficient beet
sugar land to accommodate dozen
factories and they will be built if
needed. The Bay City factory will
this year manufacture more than
5000, 600 pounds of sugar and will pay
to the growers, the farmers, about
$3.50, 900. The Michigan beets are far
ahead of those of other states and every
indication is that the beet sugar indus
try will soon be "A big factor in Mich

In reference to forestry the commits
foremost of all states in the union in

state. There are many parcels of state
lands not suitable for agriculture that
could be converted into forests.
During the past year there was sold
by the land department earlier acres;

Issues a Note Proposing the Reduction
of Powerful Armaments of Europe.
st. Petersburg; BY order of Emperor
Nicholas, Count Muravieff, the foreign
minister, handed TO the foreign diplo-
mats at st. Petersburg a note declar-
ing that the maintenance of peace and
the reduction of the excessive arma-
ments now crushing all nations are the
ideals for which all governments ought
to strive. The car considers the pres
ent moment favorable for the inaugur-
alton of a movement looking to this
end and invites the powers to take part
in an international conference as a
means of thus insuring real and last
ing peace and terminating the progress
sive increase of armament.
London: The czar's proposition for
an international conference for the
purpose of securing real and lasting
peace among the powers and the ter
mination of the progressive increase in
ornaments, and conveyed in a note
from Count Muravieff, the Russian
foreign minister to the foreign diplo-
mats at st. Petersburg, is likely to
produce sensation throughout
Europe, and coming from such quar-
ter and with such evident sincerity of
purpose, it is likely to have important
effects. There is no doubt that with
Russia taking the lead in such step,
Germany, France and the other nations
will be ready to follow.

Spain, France and Russia Combine.

Madrid newspapers state that a
treaty of alliance has been signed be-
tween Spain, France and Russia with
the object of counteracting the Anglo
German influence. The idea of per-
manent rapprochement between France
and Spain is certainly in the air and
may in time assume considerable prac-
teal Importance. 1t had its origin in
Frances role in the peace negotiations,
and report of friction with England
over Spain in the neighborhood of
Gibraltar. Many patriotic Spaniards
who apprehend further sacrifices dur
ing the forthcoming peace negotia-
tions, regard the suggestion of French
alliance with much favor, especially as
French help would be very useful also
in the great work of financial and
economic reorganization which Spain
must undertake directly peace is con-

to be no hurry about this until the
