Taking Land Under the Reser.
vOir Act.

Few farmers and ranchers seem TO be
aware of the fact that there is a law en-
acted by Congress which gives any set
tier the privilege of selecting one quar-
ter section of land in as many sections as
is desired providing the party so filing
will declare intention to construct a dam
that will contain one million gallons of
water on each section SO selected. This
is a fact nevertheless, and several ranch
men have already selected and filed on
land underathe provisions of the Reser-
voir Act, which gives them a 5o-year
franchise on the land. John Hartinger
recently filed on II quarter sections un-
der this provision. The land so taken
cannot be fenced but it can be grazed,
used as hay land or cultivated.
The theory Of those who made the
Reservoir law was that the storing OF
water on the public domain would in
crease the moisture and thereby greatly
enhance the value of land.
The filing fee is nominal. Clerk Of
court Saunders has the necessary blank
and is fully prepared to give information
and take filings.

Gen. Otis Campaign Not a Failure.

The Jews refused to accept Jesus as
the Christ because he did not come in
the n they expected. The people
of the south rcbelled because Lincoln
proclaimed a policy that "a house divid-
ed" etc. lngersoll rejected the Bible
because he imagined he had discovered
some mistakes of Moses. Editor Short
of the Devils Lake Free Press declared
that Gen. Otis was no entitled to the
credit for the management of the Philip
pine campaign because he did "some
fool things" Jesus has been universally
accepted as Christ; the rebellious states
were whipped into submission; Lincoln
is known as the martyred president;
Moses is immortal; Ingersoll is dead;
Otis management of the Philippine cam
paign has been a success; while Editor
Shortt is simply Shortt.-Mandan

The presidents message is a
strong one, and no chapter of it
is of more interest to the Amcri-
a people than its relating to our
occupation of the Philippines. The
president declines to recommend
a specific and final form of gov
eminent for these islands, holding
it to be the duty of congress, but
clearly indicating what he has
done and purposes to do until
congress makes known its will
mo effort he says, will be
spared to build up the waste places
desolated by the war and by long
years of misgovernment."

LAST week Treasurer J. S.
White spent a day in Richardton
as per advertised notice for the
purpose of receiving county taxes,
and he put in a busy day. He
found that the farmers of Rich
ardton all had money in their
pockets and they kept him issu-
ing receipts from 7 o'clock in the
morning until 2 o'clock in the
afternoon, when he left on the
passenger. Mr.. White is pretty
good at figures and making
change, but he was utterly unable
to accommodate all who wanted to
pay taxes that day. The time
was too short. AS it was he
brought away about $1,000 of the
county's money.

THISTLES AND DANDRUFF.
An Interesting Parallel and q Valuable
Deduction TherefrOm.

Cutting down thistles no more relieves
the land of thistles than does securing
the scalp cure dandruff. In each case
permanent relief can only come from
eradicating permanently the cause. A
germ that plows up the scalp in search
ing for the hair root where it saps the
vitality, causes dandruff, fallinghair, and
badness. If you kill that germ, you'll
have no dandruff but a luxuriant suit of
hair. Newbro's Herpicide is the only
hair preparation in the world that cures
dandruff, falling hair and badness by
killing the germ. "Destroy the cause,
you remove the effect"

ADMIRAL DEWEY
WILL SOON SAIL
VIA SUEz CANAL

NEW YORK, May 1.-THE Washing
ton correspondent of the Herald tele-
graphs: Secretary Long cabled to Ad-
miral Dewey to-day authorizing him
to come home whenever he deemed it
wise TO do so. and to return by such
route as he desired. This means that
Admiral Dewey will take the Suez
canal route, and will arrive at New
York about July 15 on board his flag
ship, the Olympia.
The confidence of the officials that
the admiral will not cross the Pacific,
but will come to New York, is based on
dispatches which have been received
from him In fact, the authority sent
TO Admiral Dewey. to start on his re-
turn voyage in his discretion is based
on advices received from him to-day by
Secretary Long. These advices are pri-
vate, but the Secretary acted promptly
upon them, and it is apparent from the
cablegram sent to the admiral that the
situation admits of his departure at
this time.
1t was said by an official with whom
I talked this afternoon that it was his
expectation that the admiral will start
for home in a very few days. Though
ordered home Admiral Dewey viii re-
main a member Of the Philippine Com
( mission until its dissolution and will
( act in an advisory capacity to the
President upon his arrival.

HEAVY LOSS
BY FIRE At
SAN PEDRO

SAN PEDRO. May 1.-THE most ex-
tensive fire that San Pedro has expert
enced in years occurred here early this
morning. half-square of buildings
was laid waste and two or more per-
sons narrowly escaped with their lives.
The burned district lies west of Beacon
street and north of Sixth street. 1t
extends from the corner of those two
thOroughfares but does not cross either.
The confiagration started at about 2
o'clock this morning. How it began
does not appear to be definitely known,
but according to several accounts there
was an explosion, which probably Oc-
CURED on the lower floor of the Herald
building which stood on Sixth street, a
short distance from Beacon. As soon
as the persons who heard the explosion
could reach the place it was all af1ame
and beyond saving. There was a high
wind from the northeast, which aided
in the spread of the flames.
The Fire Department. a volunteer CT
ganizatiOn, turned out and fought the
fire. but the water supply was soon re-
duced to an alarmingly low pressure
and it was apparent that the district
was doomed The flames communicated
to the two-story CrOcker building on
Sixth street and the Crocker building
on Beacon street. The twO-stOry build
ing owned by Benjamin Weston went
next. Two. small residences were con-
sumed.
The losses are estimated at $4,000,
with about $4,000 insurance. The two
story building owned by James Herald
was insured for S2750 The ground floor
of the building was occupied by NJ
Mayors saloon. He carried no insur
ance The upper floor was occupied by
Drs. Sylvester and J. S. G. Waltney.
Their loss is $1,000; insurance $400. Dr.
Wilson. on the same floor, lost $500; in
surance, $400. Another two-story
building owned by Mr.. Herald was
occupied by ]. NJ. Brysen as a saloon
He carried $1,000 and saved nothing.
Herald's Cne-story building was occu-
pied by Putney's hardware shop. Part
of the stock was saved. The loss on
H A Crocker's two-story building is
$4,000: insurance, $3.50. 1t was occupied
by Prochs restaurant His loss is $40;
no insurance. Beal & Jones, grocers,
lost $1200: insurance, $500 Ben Weston S
building was valued at $1,000; no insur-
ance. 1t was occupied by Hixson' S
hardware store. His loss was $500; in
surance, $1,000.
