Cutting of Government Timber.


The local land Office has received a
circular from the commissioner of the
general land Office, prescribing the
privileges of settlers who have not
enough timber on their own lands for
domestic purposes who may cut what
they need from unoccupied and unre-
served government lands, to a stumpage
value of not to exceed 500 a year. It is
also provided that any one who may not
be in position to cut timber himself may
arrange with some one else to cut it for
him, providing the parties so cutting it
shall act as agents direct, and make no
charge for the timber. The circular
also provides that in order that sufficient
public timber may be placed on the
market, the department may order the
sale of public timber from time
to time. The department will also re-
ceive and consider the applications of
reliable persons for the sale of public
timber. The petition for the sale must
describe the land, if surveyed, or as
definitely Is possible by natural land
marks, if not surveyed. The petition

The women Of to-day are not as strong

They are bearing a burden in silence
that grows heavier day by day; that is

Mrs. Alexander B. Clark, Of At Michi-

only a loving wife can have. But the

More Time Granted.

Fargo Forum: The order on Attorney
General Cowan to show cause why the
railroads should not be allowed until
May S to take testimony in the rate
cases was returnable before Judge
Amidon in the United States court this
morning. The application was made on
an affidavit of General Counsel Bum Of
the Northern Pacific, the other roads
concurring. Judge Amidon heard the
arguments of the attorney general
against the application, and those of
Ball, Watson g. Maclay for, and made
an order granting the time asked.
There was an implied notice that the
evidence should be concluded by that
time. Judge Amidon referred to a
number of authorities on the matter.
1t is the general custom of the courts to
grant an extension of time in equity
cases of this kind. The order in the
foreclosure proceedings of the Northern
Pacific was for the conclusion of the
testimony in ninety days and the matter
ran about three years. The courts rarely
take radical action on the failure of one
party to conclude testimony in the
prescribed time, and would not dismiss
a case from the records on such failure.
Some people, who are inclined to roar at
the time granted the roads, would put
up a bigger one if the state needed more
time and Judge Amidon would refuse to
grant it. There seems to be a DISPOSE
ton to give everybody an aver break
all around.

must also state the character of the
timber, and the amount desired. The
timber in question will then be examined
and appraised by an agent of the de-
partment, and if ordered sold, bids will
be asked and the successful bidder must
pay in thirty days from the time he is
notified. Notice must be given to the
land office as to the time the cutting of
the timber will begin, so that an agent
of the department may oversee the cut
ting.
The regulations prescribed by the
circular took effect April 1. Persons
desiring complete copies of the circular
may obtain them at the land Office.

One WAY to Get Geese.

A farmer down on the Fort Rice res
%ervation prepared to play it low down on
a flock of geese Saturday night. The
fight of geese has begun and a large
number of them have been feeding near
his place. They travel from his fields
to a sand bar near by where they pass
part of the day and then fly back again.
he has regularly placed corn on the
sand bar for them to feed upon and they
have as regularly devoured the corn.
This has been done with an object.
Saturday night the farmer came to
town after a quart of alcohol, with the
object of soaking a peck Of corn therein
and placing it on the bar for the geese.
The voracity of the geese leads them to
devour the corn which they have come
to expect, and the alcohol has the same
effect on geese as on the human kind
it makes them roaring drunk. In this
condition they are unable to fly, but
stagger about like drunks and disorder
lies. and are easy prey for the hunter
who happens about. The may be even
knocked in the heads with clubs or cap
tured alive.
The farmer in question proposed to
set out the soaked corr for the geese,
hide in the vicinity and when the alco.
hol had begun to take effect wade into
the dissipated animals and kill and cap
ture enough to last him for q time. He
says the same thing has been done fire.
quently, and the geese are laughable
sights as they stagger and waddle about
under the influence of the intoxicants.
It effects them in the same manner as
some human beings, in that it makes
them extraordinarily pugnacious, and
they do not hesitate to attack any man
who may come near. What has been
the success of the scheme is not known
yet, but the farmer wal hopeful of a

School Children to Build q Battleship.
A circular to the TRIBUNE from the
committee which has in charge the idea
of building a battleship to commemor-
ate the Inflated Maine, the funds to be
contributed by the school children of
the United States, asks the children and
pupils of the local schools to help. The
idea was originated with w. Rankin
Good, a Cincinnati high school boy, and
the circular says:
"You may form a committee in your
school, and then collect all voluntary
contributions from all the citizens and
school children in your town who wish
to see a floating monument placed upon
the bosom Of old ocean to commemorate
the brave sailors of the Inflated Maine.
By building such a vessel the boys and
girls of the United States would show
the world that not only are the men of
our country patriotic, but that patriot
ism is .'born in the flesh and bred in the
bone" Of every American youth. Our
committee has met with much encour-
agement, and I think by patient labor
we can prove to all foreign nations that
the oncoming generation will be loyal
and true to the flag, for which their
prandfathers died.
ut is particularly impressed upon
each boy and girl who contributes, that
they should induce two others to do the
same; each new contributor to carry out
the same process with two others. and
80 on until every American boy or girl
has learned of u project and been
given 9 n opportunity to aid it."

Relief a Farce.

Rev. Eugene May, formerly a resident
of Fargo, and now living at Washington,
has returned from a trip to Cuba. His
report of the conditions in the island
differs in no essential from that of
Senators Proctor, Thurston, Gallinger
and others who have recently spoken
and written on the subject. DR.. May
says in addition:
"The recent revocation of the recon
centrado order is a farce, as the people
to whom it applies are too ill to work,
and have nothing with which to start,
and no strength. Blanks have issued
which are to be filled out with requisi-
tions for whateversthey need and sent
to Havana. The mockery of it is that
the farce ends with sending the blanks.
Nothing more is ever heard of them.
The relief work is going forward rapidly
in 21O towns, but there are between So
QUO and 100000 reconcentradoes who
must die, however generous the relief,
for they are beyond help"
