FACTS ABOUT THE LADRoNEs.

The Ladrones are northeast of the
Caroline islands and directly east OF
the Philippines, not over days jour
ney from either.
Although small and apparently in
consequential, for few people have
ever heard of the Ladrones until now,
these islands have an ancient history,
They were discovered by Magellan in
1921.
A nut which can be eaten shell and
all is one of the islands queer prod
ucts. The shell is brittle like a cracker,
sweet and good. The inside has kerr
mel which can only be bitten when the
fruit is fresh.
There are II Of the Ladrone islands,
but the principal ones are Agrigan,
Saipan, Tinian, Rota and Guam The
others re not regularly inha bited, be-
ing used for special purposes such as
farming by the inhabitants of the La
drones.
A very queer mineral product is a
stone which changes color in the at
mosphere. Cold days it is black, hot
days it is bright red, when rain
threatens it is pinkish and in cloudy
weather it is blue. This stone lies on
the highways and the pedestrian can
forecast the weather.
The queer things in the Ladrones in
clude tree, the fruit of which is so
obnoxious to the nostrils that man
cannot keep his stomach" and smell
it. But once past the nose it is so de-
licious that he will eat until too full
4,
month and is plentiful.
For long time these islands were
regarded as too volcanic to be habit
able by civilized people. They are
thicllly studded with volcanoes. which
are situated in large mountain range
which runs through all the islands.
Along the shore there is rich, ertile
soil in which all things can be grown.
Queen Maria Anne of Austria, widow
of Philip w., king of Spain, received a
present from them of a quantity of
large, rich bread fruit which so pleased
her that she requested that the islands
be named after her. Accordingly in
1868 the Ladrone islands were renamed
Mariana, after the queen of Spain, and
such has been their legal name ever
since, although they are still popular,

The Caroline people and the Ladrone

small, and very shapely, with straight
hair, and, often, blue eyes. The Caro-
lineans are very tall, copper-colored
curly-haired and black-eyed. The
blending of these two races has made
a generation of young people of al
most saffron tint, with wavy hair ant
eyes of brown, hazel and blue; rather
pretty young people, you would say.

?. Y. Christensen introduced the
following resolution:
Whereas: it has heretofore been the
practice in the county clerks Office to
pay to certain individuals or parties
entitled thereto, such sums of money
as were allowed by the county board
on claims for moneys paid to the
county for illegal tax titles, without
receiving in return quit claim deeds
from such parties, where same had
such Illegal tax titles recorded, there
| by unjuStly clOuding the title in the
| lawful owners to such lands, and
thereby perhaps causing them I'M
necessary expenses and damage.
Now be it therefore hereby ordered
and determined that in all cases,
where parties or individuals are to
receive from the county pay for claims
| for return Of moneys paid such county
on illegal tax deeds or quit claim
| deeds, and such deeds are recorded,
| thereby clOuding the title in the law
| full owners, the county clerk is here
| by ordered to obtain from such
! individuals or parties quit claim deeds
to such lands, before paying to them
any amount allowed them by the
county board, the county clerk to
make out and acknowledge such deeds
where practicable, free of charge to
the grantOrS, and such deeds to be
recorded at the expense of the county.
On motion above resolution was
adopted.

Your finance committee would
respectfully state that they feel very
confident that great care has been
taken by their special committee. in
examining and checking up the rec
OrdS. accounts and vouchers of the
outgoing County Clerk and County
Treasurer, and also that part of the
accounts of the outgoing Clerk of
Court under the control and supervis-
ion Of the county board, and that the
facts and conclusions arrived at
by said special committee as shown
and evidenced in their accompany
ing report and schedules, are as
near just, right and equitable as they
can be made. Tax deeds in favor of
Nood county have been issued since
Jan'y 18th 1897 on certificates to the
amount of S445.46. embracing the
largest part Of certificates on which
the county could obtain deeds at the
time. The county clerk in 1897 OBJ

issued tax deeds to Wood county of
NE I of SW4 and SW4 Of SCI section
13 TIP. % r. = Z. on certificates of tax
sale of 1885. but did not have said

which tax certificates of sales of 1891.

other parties and tax deeds issued to
them of same while the county had
number Of previous certificates. 1t
might be well to have the District
attorney commence an action to set
those late tax deeds to other parties
aside, as it is our opinion that they
must be illegally issued. or at least
the tax certificates were wTOngfuliy
assigned. We present to YOUR honor
