AS the wife of vice-president Of the
United States Mrs. Roosevelt will be
obliged to assume prominent position
in the world, and it must be said for
her that she has yielded to the inevi-
table with grace and dignity. The
state of Mrs. McKinley's health pre-
cludes the possibility of her taking
active part in society, which relegates
the responsibilities OF "the first lady

that there might be added to the general
revenues of the state aside from the
suggested matter of gross earnings from
railroads the sum of 1878 O50. Counting
the increase from a gross earnings tax
and from the sale of common school
lands and the grand total of increased
revenues possible is $S45, ,425. >'
1t is suggested that the state board of
university and school lands buy state
funding bonds whenever sold, thus keep
ing the payment of interest by the state
at home.
The committee earnestly urges that
means be adopted to relieve the state of
the present financial stress. There is
ample means to increase the revenues OF
the state and provide for state institu-
tions if it is desired to be done. On the
other hand, the legislative assembly if it
does not provide some increase in reve-
nues, will adjourn leaving a debt OF
$77 900 for it's own expenses added to the
deficit at the first of the year of 1928
600, making total of 100000 deficit to
be provided for in the future.

Wants Damages,

Grand Forks, Feb. 8.-Some time in
1899, John Birch, now living at Bow
bells, in this state, met and became en-
amored of Miss Nellie Tuberson. Soon
aftor meeting her the parents consented
to her going with Mr. Birch to Canada
to live until their child was born. Soon
after the child was born Mr.. Birch and
his sweetheart came back into North
Dakota and located at New Rockford,
where they were married July %, 1899.
A day or two after the wedding Mrs.
Birch went to Minot to visit her father
and mother. Since visiting them she
hrs never returned to her husband and
has refused ever since and does at this
time refuse to return to him. Last fall
she brought suit against her husband,
asking to have their marriage contract
annuled, on the ground that her hus-
band had not told her prior to their mar
riage that he had been married while liy-
ing in Christiana, Norway, and that he
had deserted the wife he married while
there, which suit is now pending.
Peter Lee of Minot married sister of
Mrs. Birch. Now the husband, Mr..
Birch, through his attorney ,Ledru Gutl,-
rie, Of this city, brings suit against Peter
Lee and his wife and Mrs. Birch's father
and mother, to recover damages in the
sum of $4,000 for the alienation of his
wite's affections and the depriving him
Of his wife's society and services. As
MIR. Birchsis at this time prominent
harness merchant of Bowbells and MIR.
Lee prominent merchant and capital
ist OF Minot and his wife society leader
there, the case promises TO be one of the
most sensational and one OF the most bit
terly contested ever brought or heard in
the courts Of Ward county. The com
plant charges conspiracy between the
father, mother, sister and brother in law
OF Mrs. Birch to alienate her affections
from her husband and deprive him Of
the society and services of his wife, and
the summons and complaint were sent
70 tho sheriff Of Ward county yesterday,
TO be served npon the defendants.

TO RAISE REVENUES.
Business Like Report Submitted tt
Senate by Special Committee on
Ways and Means.
Methods Suggested by Which Materia
Increase of the States Revenue
Can be Made.
Figures Submitted by the Committee
to Show Where Additions of
Revenue are Possible.

The report of the special committee on
ways and means. for increasing the re-
venue of the state, consisting of Messrs.
Ames, Sanborn and Cashel, has been
presented to the senate and goes over
the ground suggested when the commit
tee was appointed.
The committee recommends first the
levy of tax of S153,OOO to pay off the
bonds for the state asylum, maturing
May l, 1902. 1t is the opinion of the COM
mittee that this levy be made and it Is
recommended to be made when the state
board Of equalization levies the other
| taxes for the year 1901. New ones can
then be issued for $4,000, and be kept
within the debt limit of the state, the
proceeds to 60 into the general fund of
the state to meet acknowledgements.
This, the committee says, will produce
$4,000 of available funds within the
current biennial period.
There are s150,000 of revenue bonds to
defray extraordinary expenses of the
state due April Is, 1905. The commit
tee recommends levy of $28,175 annu-
ally in 1902-4 to apply toward redeeming
these bonds, when new bonds for S84, ,525
can be issued and the proceeds be put
into the general fund.
The present assessed valuation of the
state, $117,O00, at levy Of 38 mills an
nually will produce about S445,000 annu-
ally. If the valuation amounts to total
of Sl20,0O0 600 in 1901. ten per cent in
crease wonld make the total S132, ,OOO, ,OOO
which at the same rate would produce
S5Ol 900 annually, The committee re-
commends this increase.
On the question of the school and in-
stitution lands the committee makes
strong recommendations for the sale of
at least portion of the lands by the
state that the interest on the amount of
funds may be used to relieve the general
fund of the sta te. The state was endowed
by the general government with $685. ,O8O
acres of land for the educational and
charitable institutions and 2,290 900 acres
for the common schools. OF the COM
mon school lands 10000 acres have been
sold at an averege of s18 an acre. 1t is
recommended that 125OOO acres of the
school lands be appraised and sold be-
tween Sept. l and Oct. l, 1901. These
lands il sold at an average of S15 an acre
would produce s1,s75, 600, which at re-
venue of six per cent annually from
taxes and interest would produce $112-
600 annually or SIPS for every child of
school age in the state.
OF the institution lands the committee
recommends that small portion be sold
to relieve the general fund of the state
| from the entire maintenance of the insti-
tutions, and the following figures are
