says the reports received there from
Ladysmith, said heavy cannonading
started at daybreak; that some of the
Boer forces were within 1900 yards of
the British, when the cannonadin2
ceased. and rifle fire had commenced.
The Pretoria dispatch also an

rect, and there is every reason to be-
heve 1t is accurate. as the Boer dis
patches have almost invariably. hither-
to- rendered fairly accurate accounts.
II is claimed here that Il implies that a
general assault on Ladysmith was
pending when Gen. Joubert's report
was sent off.
Logical Assumption.
1t is claimed that if the Beers got
their fcrces within 1,500 yards of the
British position il shows they fully
realized the necessity of utilizing the
brief interval before the arrival of the
British achievements to make a de-
termincd attempt to storm Gen.
Whites position.

Mr.. CURTISS' EXPERIENCE.
During Ten Months Service for
Uncle Sam at Manila. a@

Engineer Curtiss,. who has been
doing the engineering work for the
Gulf & Manitoba railroad between
this point and Beaver Falls for the
past month or two, was member of
the Utah Light Artillery company,
which served for nearly year in
the Philippines. That artillery
company, it will be remembered,
sailed from Manila on March 10th,
1898, and returning. landed at San
Francisco on July Sd, 1899.
Mr.. Curtiss is man Of great
deal Of experience in western life,
where he has resided a number of
years, and where he has done en-
cheering, both railroad and min
ing. One OF the lines which he run
was for the Colorado Midland rail
road, which, in some places, is more
than three per cent. grade, equi-

mile.
When the war between the Unit
led States and Spain broke out he
was with large number of miners
and engineers, and they were all
anxious to 90 into the service to-
gether and enlisted in the Utah
Light Artillery, having a large
number of guns. Shortly after
their enlistment and Dewey's vic.
tory in the harbor OF Manila they
were notified that they would be
sent to the Philippines, which
pleased the boys nightly, and they
set sail on the day mentioned above
arriving there month or SO later
Shortly after arriving at camp Dew

STATE LAND SALE.
Something About the One to Be
Held Here Nov. LIST.

State Auditor Dunn will be here
next Wednesday for the purpose of
conducting sale of State lands in
this county-unsold and delinq
tracts. He will be at Beaver Falls
on the preceding day for the same
purpose.
Mr.. Dunn has already sent to
Auditor Tompkins the corrected
book containing the lands which
will be offered for sale, as well as
blanks, ETC., necessary during the
day Of sale. According to the terms
laid down by law fifteen per cent.
of the purchase price and interest
on the unpaid balance from the date
Of sale on Jan. lst, 1900, must be
paid at the time of the sale. The
balance of the purchase money can
be paid at any time within forty
years of the time of the sale; the
rate of interert on the unpaid bal
ance Of the purchase money will be
five per cent. per annum, payable
in advance on June 1st of each year.
Holders Of certificates on which
the interest payments are in default
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1899-10-25

can have their certificates reinstat-
ed on payment before the sale Of
the interest in full to date and the
penalties thereon. when the lands
covered thereby will be withdrawn
from sale.
AS result of the auditors an
nouncement that all delinquent
lands would be put up for sale in
conjunction with the unsold lands
there has been quite anumber of the
holders Of certificates to the delin-
quent lands calling at the county
treasurer Office during the past
two or three weeks and paying up
the amount delinquent. That there
will be more between to-day and
the date of the sale one week hence
there is no doubt, and the probable
ties are that Mr.. Dunn will offer
very few tracts of land for sale
when he arrives here.
AS will be seen by looking at the
lists published elsewhere in this
paper there were 4,OO4. 43 acres of
land advertised to be sold when the
State auditor made up his list. Ten
years ago there were probably 40, 900
acres offered at a land sale, while
10 or 20 years ago it will be remem-
bered that the State offered 20, 600
acres at one sale, and most of this
was at So per acre. To-day it can
not be bought at much less than $40
per acre, while some tracts will
command a much larger.s amount.
At the last session of the legisla-
ture State Auditor Dunn attempted
to make it easier on the purchaser
by having the interest reducedfrom
8 to 4 per cent, and also to keep
the money of the State out at inter-
est, as far as possible. But a ma
jority of the members of the legisla-
ture thought the money worth five
per cent. and Mr.. Dunn's efforts
availed naught.
