Large Sales of Lands Forthcoming
Belonging to n. D. Insti-
tutions.
Thousands of Acres of Fine Land
Will be Placed on
Sale.
indications Are That There Will Be
Lively Bidding at the
Sale.

WlUQlQ UQe ucXU lew WcchS uuclS
will be offered for sale in the state OF
North Dakota thousands of acres OF
the finest land in the state which has
never before been put on the market.
When the state was organized there
was reserved a large quantity of
public land, the best to be selected for
each of the state institutions. This
land has since been held for the bene-
tit of these institutions. At the last
session of the state legislature the
commissioner of state lands was au-
thorized to sell portions of this land
a few thousand acres from the lands
of each institution, and this is to be
done this fall.
One reason why it was desired to
dispose of land in this manner was
that while it formed part Of the
assets of the institutions, it was un-
productive of revenue, and the care of
schools, hospitals, ETC., was heavy
burden on the revenues of the state.
1t was therefore considered to be wise
policy to sell a portion Of the land, and
with the interest on the funds thus
created prepare to pay of some Of the
bonds of the state which were issued
for the purpose Of erecting buildings
and in other ways making improve
ments at the various state institu-
tions.
Another reason was the fact that
the holding of these lands from settle
ment was retarding the development
of the state. In some of the counties
there are thousands Of acres Of land in
almost solid blocks which we're Sc
lected in the above manner, from
which neither state nor county de-
rives any revenue, but which will be-
come productive of revenue the mo-
ment that it was sold to private per-
sons. Then where whole townships
are taken up in this manner there is
less demand for the other land in the
vicinity, as it is impossible to make
compact settlements.
These lands were selected in the
northern, southern and western coun-
ties, but the greater quantity, and
the best land, is in the counties to the
north, from Ramsey and Cavalier
west. At the sale in Ramsey county
next month there will be offered 40,-
600 acres, most Of which is appraised
at $40 per acre, and in the other coun-
ties in that district there are large
areas which are offered at about the
same prices. The terms on which
these lands are sold are the same as
Tor the common school lands -one-tifth
down and the balance in four equal
installments at intervals of five years
interest at per cent. The indica-
tions are that there will be lively bid
ding at these sales, as the attention of
eastern men has been turned in this
direction and North Dakota is now
recognized as one of the most profit
able fields for the investment of money
in land.-Bismarck Tribune.

Brain Food Nonsense.

Another ridiculous food fad has
been branded by the most competent
authorities. They have dispelled
the silly notion that one kind of
food is needed for brain, another for
muscles, and still another for bones.
A correct diet will not only nurish
a particular part of the body, but it
will sustain every other part. Yet,
however good your food may be, it's
nutriment is destroyed by indiges-
ton or dyspepsia. You must pre-
pare for their appearance or pre-
vent their coming by taking regular
doses of Green's August Flower, the
favorite medicine of the healthy
millions. A few doses aids diges-
ton, stimulates the liver to healthy
action, purifies the blood, and makes
you feel bouyant and vigorous. You

remedies at Fox Bros. Get Green's

A WhalebaCk Ashore.

Sturgeon Bay, Oct. 9.-The
whaleback steamer Thomas Will
son went on the reef at Bailey s
Harbor about nine O'Clock last
night, during a heavy storm and
dense fog, and will prove total
loss. The Wilson was light and
bound for Escanaba for an ore
cargo. Losing her bearings she
struck the reef while going at a
pretty high rate of speed and
was driven far out. The twenty
men on board were taken off by
the Bailey's Harbor lifesaving
crew. She sprung leak during
the night and this morning she
was half full of water and faring
badly in the seas running. Word
was received at 10 o'clock that
the steamer had become a total
loss. This means that she has
broken in two.

The general impression one derives
from the accounts given Is certainly
that savage tribes are not victims of a
sullen despair. but. on the contrary,
have a large and abundant mirth.
Their laughter and other signs of good
spirits are OF the most energetic kind.
Darwin and number of travellers as
sure us on this point. The Tasma-
mans, Ling Roth tells us, accompanied
their loud bursts of laughter with
movements of the hands to the head
and quick tapping movements Of the
feet. The loud. deep chested character
Of the mems laughter is sometimes
specially noted. A recent visitor to
central Africa regrets that under Eu-
ropean influence the deep chested,
hearty laughter of the men is being re-
placed by what is known as the mis-
sion giggle'' in the younger folk.-In-

Senator O'Neil's Report.

At last there is prospect of see
ing the ED of the scandals that have
kept Minnesota political and lumber
circles in state of chronic fermen-
tation for number of years. Adj
vices fir I'm Washington are to the
effect that. while the interior de-
partment has not yet made puolic
the facts contained in the report of
State Senator William O'Neil of
Washburn. who was sent to north
ern Minnesota to scale the trespass
committed ON the Indian reserva-
tions, enough information has leaked
out to justify the belief that the
charges made by Logging Superin-
tendent Farr are sustained.
If this should prove to be the case,
1t is hoped that the practice of let
ting con tracts for cutting dead and
down pine on the Indian reservation
will be discontinued. Since these
contracts were first awarded COM
plants have come from the Indians
year after year that they were being
robbed of their best timber. One
after another, agents have been sent
to the territory involved, with in.
structions to make thorough investi-
gation, and, in each case, the log
ging companies either secured re-
port that satisfied them, or the
agent was dlscredited. 1t may be
remarked that facilities for getting
into trouble are not wanting in that
country, as more than one agent of
the government knows to his sor-
row Milwaukee Sentinel.

President Adams Resigns.

Madison, Oct. 12.-President
Adams letter of resignation,
addressed to the board of regents
under date of October II, is as
follows:
cit is with a painful sense of
duty to the university and my
self that I feel compelled to place
in your hands at this meeting my
resignation as president of the
university of Wisconsin. In
doing so I am actuated both by
the state of my wife's health
and my own, which in the opinion
of our physician will necessitate
our leaving Madison as soon as
possible for a greater altitude
and a mllder climate. Before
my return from Europe I felt
that [ had so fully recovered my
health and strength as to enable
me to take up the work of the
university with the renewewed
vigor and energy which is so
necessary for complete success.
With this full confidence I enter
ed upon the work of the year, as
I announced at your meeting in
September. Some ten days ago,
however, I contracted a severe
cold from which [ have not fully
recovered, and my physicians, in
view of my present condition and
the anxieties growing out of the
ili-health of my wife, warn me
against assuming the active and
arduous duties, incumbent upon
the head of the university. It
therefore seems imperative that
I ask your honorable body to re-
.lieve me of these duties.
In relinquishing the great re-
sponsibilities that have develop
ed upon me as president for a
period of nine years, I do so
with deep sense of gratitude to
the regents for that cordially
and unbroken harmony with
which we have been able to work
together for the advancement of
the university, and with warm
appreciation of the constant
unity of purpose, care in deliber-
alton, and our relations during
administration"
