The iand Sale.

Inc sEeu0 S0le4s
During the past year the state
land commissioner sold lands
(which brought in cash payments
Of 1882, 600 and which represent.
led a total cash value Of nearly
i 81, 500, 600. The balance which is
unpaid becomes q lien on the
land. and the interest will be
paid each year. Of the total
amount the common SCHOOL, fund
receives about 5000, 600 in cash
and this fund will receive inter.
est on three quarters of mil
lion dollars annually until the
principal is diminished by the
/ payment five years hence. The
balance of the money is dis
tributed among the various state
institutions.
i The sales have done more than
put IL little money in the treas.
Jury. They have rendered u vast
extent Of land productive, or at
least they have put in it such
condition that it will become pro-
ductive in the near future.
A glance at the table which was
published in The Herald yester.
day morning will show that the
bulk of the land sold is in a few
counties in. the central and
northern part of the state. The
sale of lands in this section was
not an arbitrary act, but WIS
due to the fact that most of the
lands held for educational and
state purposes were in this par
ticular locality. The fact that
such a large quantity of land was
ownedin one section by thestate,
and was kept out. Of the market
mad tendency to- discourage
settlement, as men who came to-
make homes in the state desire
not only good landk,, but the
prospects of having good neigh
oors in the near future. In
some cases whole townships
were out of the market and i'm
BthOseca settlers would shun
Ethe localities. The pla.ing on
the market of these lands will
have a tendency to increase the
value Of all other lands. in. the
vicinity, and in addition to.the in.
crease of the revenue of the
schools and other institutions
from the payment of the pur-
chased price of the lands the
state at large will be benefited
by having the newly sold. lands
become taxable, and by the in
crease of the assessable value of
the other lands In the vicinity:
The sale will be regarded: as, a.
good thing. But we should not
on that account push this new
plan of disposing of our public
lands to the extreme. Because
it is good policy for the state to
sell a portion Of it's public lands
it does not follow that it is policy
to sell them all. The sale of the
lands thus far disposed of i'm
creases the value, not only of
the lands held by private in
dividuals but of the remaining
lands held by the state as WE'LL
This value will increase as
the country settlas up, and by
retaining the lands unsold for q
time the state will be- able to resp
la portion of the profit from this
increase. It is possible that it
may be policy to sell still more
Hands. but there should be no
rush to dispose Of all OF the
greater part of the holdingof the

SEVENTEEN=YEAR LOCUST
Some PecuIiarities of This Queer
Insect.

The so-called seventeen-year locust Is
remarkable for being the longest lived
of all the insect world, the eggs which
will be laid by those now appearing
among the trees will hatch before Sep
tember. They viii Immediately bur-
row into the ground, going to a depth
OF two feet and more, where they will
remain until 1919 l9-seventeen years
hence. Each pupa will then come to
the surface, climb q tree or bush. The
thorax splits open down the back and
the winged insect energies.
This change begins the closing scene
in the cicada's life. Its sole purpose is
to reproduce the species. The females
deposit their eggs in the twigs Of this
years growth. Then the insects, male
and female, all die, having lived seven
teen years, of which but four or five
weeks were spent In the air and sun
shine.
The only damage they do is through
the female depositing her eggs in twigs.
This causes the latter to die and drop
off. With ordinary forest trees.
this does not matter, but with young
fruit trees the injury may be consider
able.
However, the fruit grower has this
consolation-that the clearing of the
forests and the cultivation OF the soil is
diminishing their numbers. The time
will come when the periodical cicsda
will be rarity where now 1t IL remark.
able for its enormous numbers.

The action Of the late Legislature in
assessing tax upon the capital stock
of all incorporated companies In this
State, will bring many thousands Of
dollars into the State treasury, and
decrease the taxes Of
the small taxpayers. A Columbus dis
patch tells how it is working:
The American Oak Leather Com
pany of Cincinnati, and the Goodrich
Rubber Company Of Akron were the
heaviest Willis act taxpayers yester-
day, each paying $1,000. Secretary
Laylin said he knew, of one 80, 600 check
still to come in from a single company,
the Lorain Steel Company. Mr.. Lay
lin said this morning that he estimated
that the domestic corporation taxes
would reach $4,000 and the foreign
corporations which pay in September
would easily double it. 'The checks
have been coming in 80 fast In the last
few. days." said he, shat we have sim
ply lost all track of the total sum, and
will not get up with the receipts for
some days"

A Square Man.

The Kansas City Star, commenting
upon the relations OF President ROOse-
velt with the politicians, says there
never was President with better mo-
tives than he has. Everybody who
comes in contact with Theodore Roose-
welt, it says, freely admits that he is
square"
This is q simple thing to say OF q
President, but it Is great thing, new
erthless. Men who make politics their
business cannot always appreciate
''squareness" in President, because
they have found it necessary to twist
around corners, and to make themselves
round, Oblong, OctagOnal, or any other
shape to fit situations as they arise, and
a man that is square" all the time is
a puzzle to them on that account.
Because Theodore Roosevelt is a
square" man the results OF his admin
istration will be awaited with interest.
He is bound to insist upon doing what
he believes to be right, in his own way,
no matter what the consequences, and
he is likely to demand, also, that men
with whom he comes in contact shall
live up to his standard II they desire
his favor.
Already his bluntness and his ad-
herence to high standards have won
him the opposition not only of Demo.
Gratis, but of some Republicans. He
has not been harmed by that Opposi.
ton, however. The people like a
"square" man and they are likely tc
stand by President Roosevelt so long a:
he remains square.--Cleveland Leader

MormOns on Increase.

While it is commonly believed that
polygamy has been stamped out in this
country, that fact should not lead peo-
pie to believe that the Mormons are be-
coming fewer. Quite the contrary is
the case. In the last ten years, accord
ing to late census report, the number
of Mormons in this country has more
than doubled, something that cannot be
said of any OF the orthodox churches OF
the lsnd.-SpOkesman Review.
