About Settled at Last.

The apparently lnterminable QueS-
tiOn OF swamp lands, which for years
has been the subject of Il vOluminOuS
correspondence between the interior
department and the state auditors
and attorney generals, according to Il
| Washington dispatch, is about TO be
adjusted.
For twenty years Minnesota officials
and the states representatives in con-
gress have been urging the interior
| department to complete the survey
and patent the swamp lands granted
by congress to the state. Commits
sioner Herman yesterday is reported
to have announced that the last of
these tracts will be examined this
summer and the patents issued for
them next winter.
The lands were granted to the state
by congress in 1861. under Stipulat-
ion that the proceeds were to be used
for drainage purposes. The state.
however, followed the lead of Iowa
and other states and diverted them to
different ends. Much of the land was
granted to railroads, some was partit-
Toned off for public institutions and
what was left by Il constitutional
amendments in 1881 was turned over
to the schools.
Nearly all of the land granted to
the rai1roadS has now been selected
except about 100000 acres in Cook,
Lake 9nd St. Louis counties, which
was given the Duluth & Iron Range
railroad! After this and several other
lesser claims against the lands are ad-
iusted the remainder will become
state school land.
The state has lost some very valu-
able tracts through claim jumpers,
who filed adverse claims. setting forth
that the land was not swamp land.
Wherever it was shown that less than
half of quarter-section is really
swamp the interior department held
that the land was not included in the
swamp land grant and was open for
homestead.
The claims to be about adjusted by
the interior department consist of
about 3, 800 tracts upon which select
ions have been filed by state officials.
There are in the state about thirty
unsurveyed townships, the survey and
patentng of which will close the sub
ject of swamp lands.

The Hunting Season.

The trout season ends with this
month, and the duck, geese and chick
ell season opens with the next month.
Partridges are not due for another
month, the partride season begin
ming Oct. l. After August 81 no more
trout may be caught until March /.
No trout or bass may be sold, as usual.
There is u provision of the law
about which few people know, though
there have been rumOrS that shch Il
provision existed. That is that no
one person may kill more than TWEEN
ty-five birds or catch more than fifty
fish in one day. The average hunter
or fishermen need have no fear OF
going beyond this limit, however.
Later i'm the fall the big game sea-
son opens, the deer season being open
from Nov. 10 to 30, and the moose and
caribou season continuing from Nov.
Is to Nov. 20.
Licenses are required to hunt deel
and other big game, for which resi-
dents of the state must pay 20 cents
and non-residents S25. No one per-
son is allowed more than three deer,
one moose and one caribou in season
but if each hunter fills out his allow
ance there will be great rejoicing and
great slaughter.

Not in Love With Africa.

The friends of tile boys who left
Ely for South Africa, where Chey are
employed with the Sullivan Drill Co.,
will be pleased to read the following
sent to s. H. Owens at Tower. 1t
furnishes some news of the boys
among which are Burt Croze, Val
Crockett, Fred Johnson, Dan Nc

here. The letter says:
Having a half hour at my disposal
1 will endeavor to give you a short
account of our trip since leaving

we remained a short time and left
there March 14th arriving in New
York on the evening of the 18th and
took the S. S. Urbania, of the Cunard
line, next morning for Liverpool
where we arrived the Oath and stayed
four days before starting on our
journey for West Africa. The time
for our trip from Liverpool to our

way. We stopped with Goodman and
his crew the first night and found
them fairly we'll, most of them hav-
ing already had the fever, Goodman
was sick with the fever the day we
got there, but he got over it just as
soon as we arrived. Well, as regard
ing the climate, it is rather hot from
Ii o'clock until in the afternoons
and the nights are cool and you can
sleep under blankets at night. 1t is
just starting in the rainy season, 1t
rains every afternoon. The woods is
very thick mostly mahogany, the
underground is very thick and Il man
has a hard time to crawl through 1t.
The only white people are the mining
officials There is one white lady out
here and the Government r. II. men
which are putting the road through
to the mines. 1t is hard to get
machinery up because it has to be
packed in on mems heads and it is
hard to get packers. Goodman and
his crew haven't got their drills up
vet, and ours won't be up for another
month yet. They were left off at
AKIN and will ccme up the Boncovia
river. 1t will have to be packed up
by natives. The boys are all well and
Tanzic is getting fat, Odgers is well
but anxious to get back to Soudan for
some reason or another. Goodman's
camp is miles away from ours. The
mosquitoes are very bad. We will be
glad when our year is up and we can
90 home. Give our regards to all the
bows and girls. Yours Truly,

Did You Bite,

About two weeks ago a woman
made the rounds Of the Virginia BUSH

ren'S Home. To those who permitted
their finer feelings and general inn
pulses TO be touched, and they were
many, the following press notice sent
out by Rev. E. L. Savage, superinten-
dent of the Children's A id Society of
Minneapolis. will prove interesting if
not pleasant reading.

Letting money, as she says, for Il
Children'S Home in Minneapolis:
sometimes she calls it Il German

it is Il Well-knOWn fact that she does
not represent any Children's Home or
anything that is in any way charity.
She has private lying in place where
girls 60 in times of confinement. pay

There is no board responsible per-
sons or organization in charge OF the
affair: it is wholly Il private matter
and whatever money she obtains she
uses as she pleases.
We repeatedly find that persons
who have not taken the pains to look
into the matter have given her money
supposing that they were giving to
the work of the Children's Home
Society of Minnesota. 1t has been
stated by some persons that she has
had our literature in her possession
and has given them the impression
that she has come in the place Of our
Rev. d. B. Jackson, who died awhile
ago, so that they were the more
easily misled.
All the authorized representative
of the society have credentials
and its friends are earnestly request
ed TO see to it that they give money
for the work only to such authorized
representatives. Virginia Enter

At the request of the defendant,
Judge Cant has signed an order vacat-
ing the decree of divorce entered last
fall in the case of Bertha Uthgenant
against Wilhelm Uthgenant. The
ground for the action is that the
court had no jurisdiction to make an
order for the publication of the sum-
mons in the case, or to hear and try
it. A sale of some of Uthgenant's
lots in Ely under the judgment is also
vacated and set aside.

Memorial Day.

At this time, when beautiful
flowers are greeting us, and waving
their bewitching colors in the
breeze as If tempting willing hands
to strew them in loving remem-
brance, comes Memorial Day which
calls pause in the midst of bust
ness strife, to give honor to the
memory of those who made it
possible for us to enjoy the united
bonds of liberty and hope. 1t is
only occasionally, and too seldom,
that we take time to be patriots
to remember those who gave up
their lives that we might enjoy
peace. Our great nation set apart
Thursday of last week to the men,
ory of our fallen fathers, Alas,
too many look upon 1t as holiday,
in which to spend the time in
rollick and fun. One day in the
year is not too much for every
citizen to honor. the dead who died
for us.
But all honor due to Logan that
she comes up with more interest
each year in favor of the perpetuity
of the memory of our fallen fathers.
On Thursday large concourse of
people and children, marched to
the cemetery to strew flowers, and
returning filled the Opera House to
hear the able address of Senator
Bright. The memory shall never
wane in old Logan for we love the
living heroes and we revere the
memory of the dead.
