STATE LAND OFFICE.
A Synopsis Of the Business
Transacted in 1899

The State Land Once in the year
1899 just closed, issued 1893 contracts
for land, beating tho record Of all
former years since the opening Of the
office. These contracts we're issued in
duplicate and sent by registered Eail
to each applicant for approved lands
to DO signed and returned to the Land
Office. Whe dated, signed and reg
istersd duplicate contract is sent to
the applicant for reference.
The new lands applied for under the
2-Million Acre Grant aggregated 81,
l67 81 acres. Tho reverted, or for
feitsd lands applied for during the
year aggregated 2s,251.42 acres,
mostly situated in Lincoln and Elko
Counties. Lands applied for under
claim of preferred right aggregated
l20 acres, making total acre .e ap-
piled for in four hundred and sixty
four applications of 80, $50. 80.
The receipts of the Office amounted
to S1O7, 345 46, which was paid iato the
School Fund for the education of the
youths of the State.
One hundred and eighty nine patents
were issued for %, $685. SO acres, which
is less than the average OF 1897 90.
OF the 2 Million Aero Grant 1893
372. SO acres have been selected, and of
these selections l, 927, 743 Al acres have
been approved to the State by the
General Government, leaving IS, 500. 81
acres unapproved, and 6,627.O7 to be
selected. Though about One-ninth Of
all the contracts entered into by the
State with applicants for lands were
made in 1899, the receipts Of the office
were not as large as in some former
lands for which contracts were entered
into last year were applied for and first
pay ment on the same made under pre-
viols administrations. This year, by
reason OF the many new contracts on
tered into in 1882 the interest pay
ments should exceed those of any
former year.
There is no Trouble whatever eX-
perienced in disposing of the State
lands, and in a few months, at the
usual rate of applications, the 2Million
Acre Grant will be exhausted. There
are, however, several hundred thous
and acres Of reverted land that have
been forfeited for non-paymert Of in.
terest aud other causes, which are sub
ject to entry. These lands have beer
approved to the State by the Genera
Government and are subject to con
tract when applied for.
There are, according to the records
Of the Land Office, about 1900 acre.
Of land due the State under old grants
but selections under thess grants were
suspended years ago by the Genera
Land Office. Correspondence will

DR.. Hylande MacGrath in experiment.
Ing on the result of food, on his own
body, says: After eating four heaping
teaspoons of Grape-Nuts with little
cream. l had occasion to walk about
fourteen miles and was surprised at my
feeling OF strength and buoyancy. On
other occasions, when 1 have taken care
full note of my feelings and sensations,
1 have discovered that intellectual task
are comparatively easy when using
Grape-Nuts at each meal.
''Of course l understand that the theory
regarding Grape-Nuts is practically per-
feet That is, the food contains elements
that are we'll known, and furnished in a
concentrated and quite delicious form it
is reasonable to expect results, but the
physical demonstration of these results is
more satisfactory, always, than the mere
statement of theory.
''Grape-Nuts combined with fruit and
seasonable vegetables I prescribe to all
ing women and delicate men, and have
not had a case yet that has not furnished
gratifying results. A nervous, irritable
man of Y became fat and amiable using
Grape-Nuts food as a regular (but not ex-
clusive) diet.

improved rapidly in health, spirit weight
and looks, on Grape-Nuts food. 1t would
be blessing to thousands of such girls If
this food was used more largely in board
ing schools and seminaries, not to be ad-
ministered as medicine, but as a pure
healthful, and highly nourishing food. y

HAvANA,s CONVENTION.
Some Manipulation of Ill Feeling
Against Fitxhugh Lee.

HAVANA, Nov. 26.-At the opening of
today's session of the Cuban constitu-
tional convention Senior de Quesada
moved the rejection of the resolution in
troduced Saturday by Senores Rivera,
Cisneros and Villuendas, expressing the
sorrow of the convention at the departure
of Gen. FitzIIugh Lee. The resolution
was thereon rejected unanimously.
Senior Rivera said after the session
that some of the delegates intended to
attack Gen. Lee on the ground that he
had not always been a friend of the
Cubans and that in view.o of this Gen.
Lees friends thought it would be bet
ter not to press the resolution of re-
greet.
Senior Gualberto Gomez notified the con-
vention that he would present for con-
sideration motion in answer to Gen.
Woods address to the convention.
Gen. Sanguilly Immediately objected
on tlfe ground that such q proposal
would be entirely out of place rs the
address was in the form of a military
order, which could rot be answered by
the convention. He urged that it would
be wiser to leave the subject alone az
any discussion of it might cause i'll feel
ing between the convention and the mill
tary.
Senior de Quesada moved that in the
judgment of the convention Cen Wood S
address should not, under any consid-
eration,S be answered by the convention,
and it was carried unanimously
Senior Gomez evidently much disap-
pointed, explained that his intention had
been misconstrued, as he had not meant
any discourtesy, but discussion, in his
opinion would have shown the military
authorities. that the convention had no
idea Of Interfering with the present
government and the UnUed States reed
have no fear of any action on the part
of the convention.
Senior Capote, president of the conven-
ton, divided the delegates into commit
tees of five, and appointed Senior Llorente
and Gen. SanguiIly members of the com
mittee Oh phraseology.

CHAMBER CONSIDERS TAXES
Budget of Conference Committee Is
Reviewed at Length.

On the report of the committee on mu-
nlclpal affairs, the Chamber of Com
merce yesterday considered the renort
of the conference committee The com
mittee, of which E. w. Peet is chair.
man, reported:
The property owners of st. Faul will
nave to contribute nearly $500 600 next
year more than they did this for the
support of the municipal government and
| the acquisition of permanent public MIL
| tiles.
The property owner who has home
| stead valued at $,5C0, instead of paying
$53 will have to pay $40.
| The increase of nearly $3.50 OtO in the
| school fund, 100000 for the purchase of
sites and erection of buildings and So.
oVo for repairs, is justified by the com
| mlttee on the grounds that 1.-The enabling
act under which the new charter was
drawn does not permit any increase in
the city's bonded Indebtedness.
AS to the library fund, the committee
holds that it is an open question wheth-
er the $685. 600 included in the estimate
to cover the cost of remodeling the mar
ket house may be legally raised by tax
eS levied for this purpose. A large mum
! Der of citizens contributed to the VEN
ture, and it is now proposed to make
them Contribute again by taxation.
Inc committee, however, states its
properly included in the estimate
| The $4,000 for a market site and SAC, COO
Tor street sprinkling are characterized oy
! the committee as inevitable additions.
The committee recommends that the
| item Of $4,000 for the sinking fund shoui1
| be eliminated
The report continues:
mo bonds will mature in 1901, and ONLY
| $50. 900 in 1902. 1t is to meet these in part
that this $4,000 is designed. The major
ity of your committee believes that these
/ bonds Should not be paid at their ma
turity, but should be funded into new
| bonds, as permitted by the charter
1.-THE present generation is not addine
to the citys bonded debt for future gem
erations. and should not be called unon
TO pay the debts of past generations. M
| better example of the fallacy involved in
i the contrary view need be looked for
than is here affordedS In 1882 the city
issued 600 of bonds to pay part of the
cost of the high school building. It is
! proposed to tax the property-holders OF
the years 1901 and 1902. to pay these bonds
and thus to pay for the high school which
has been in use for twenty years. and al
| the same time to tax them to paw the
! full cost of new school buildings which
will be in use for many years hereafter;
and to pay the full cost of the market
! site, which will probably be a public
kptility as long as the city lasts.
| The committee opposed the 900 for
tie Third street bridge and $25.O0 to re-

coup bank losses. 1t also suggests strik-
ing out the item of $63, los for purchase
If local improvement certificates.
The committee also does not approve Of
the item of $4,000 for the payment Of
street intersections, the charter provid-
ing that this expense be paid out of the
general fund. The item of $4,000 for the
construction of cross-walks might be cut
to $4,000.

MEMBERS OF THE COMMERCIAL
CLUB ON THEIR BALLOT.

The principle of primary elections is In
operation, at the Commercial club TINS
week. A president and vice president
will be chosen.
All the advantages that are urged for
the system of voting as applied to gem
eral elections are apparent at the club.

that SLATE" has been made up and
that this or that or the other person
hasn't ghost of show" Secretary
Slime gives out blank slips on which each
member inscribes his choice for each OF
the three Offices at stake. The ballots
are folded without inspection and drop
ped into a box. Then the name of the
member who cast the vote is checked OF

thoughtless attempt at voting more than
once and preventing outsiders from join

men receiving the highest number Of
votes for each office will be in nomination
