HONORS FOR HENRI


Prince Henry Of Prussia is to be gtv.s
en- q reception betting the high sta
ton he occupies and the representa-
tive of such a great nation as Germany.
The programme for. his welcome,
which will be Immediately prepared, is
almost as interesting subject Of spec
ulation in diplomatic circles as are the
reasons which induced Emperor Will
liam to send him here.
Prince Henry will be treated with
the most distinguished courtesy. Up
on his arrival-at New York he will be
received by representatives of the
president and of the army and navy
and by a military escort. Before he
lands salute of 81 guns, the number
given to the president, will be fired.
At the launching of the imperial yacht,
which will be christened by Miss Roose-
welt, his address will be answered by
the president in terms as cordial as he
himself will employ.
When he reaches Washington he will
be received by the president and will
be invited to be the guest of the nation.
He may prefer to stop at the German
embassy. Following his call upon the
president Mr.. Roosevelt will return the
courtesy and will subsequently invite
him to dinner, which-will be attended
by the most prominent men of the
country. Everything will be done to
make Prince Henry's visit pleasant
memory.
The imperial yacht Hohenzollern
will also be given cordial reception.
It is possible that the North Atlantic
squadron may find its itinerary cut
short. and that it will be ordered to
receive the yacht at sea, accompanying
it to port, and take its share in doing
honor to the prince of Prussia. Such
action will give Prince Henry, who is
an officer of the Germany navy. an OPP
portunity to see the latest American
battleships.
In diplomatic circles there is dispo-
sition to regard Emperor Williams

miner in all of Alaska,is in Chicago
after an absence of four years at
Cape Nome, Dawson City and other
points Of the great Eldorado within
the arctic circle. She came to the
state to buy machinery for hy-
dranlic mining and a ten-room porta-
BILE house, which she will have shipped
in sections to Cape Nome. The bar
oness is only 80 years old and is un-
married, having taken her title from
her father, Baron Kari von Tilse of
Leipsig, Germany, who came to the
United States about 20, years ago and
resided both in Cincinnati and st.
Louis.
She went to the Klondike not be-
cause it was necessary for her, to
make her own living, but because a
love for adventure led her to seek the
gold fields. A fortune was left her
by her father, and the first business
in which she engaged in was wheat
speculation in Los Angeles. She made
money for time, but finally lost q
great deal, and then it was that she
determined TO goeto the Klondike.
She left Seattle early in the spring
of 1898 alone, and she has been alone
In her adventures ever since. She
travelled without aid, did her own
shedding with her own reindeer, shot
the swiftest rapids of the Yukon and
other rivers in. Indian canoes, did her
own prospecting, staked out her own
claims and then guarded them.
It being necessary to do a certain
amount of work on each claim in or
der to hold it, she called to her aid

friendly overtures to the United States
with especial interest in view of the
growing enmity Between his country
and Great Britain. Diplomats say that
there is now apparently rivalry be-
tween Germany and Great Britain for
American friendship.
President Roosevelt is naturally
pleased at the persistence of Emperor
William in endeavoring to promote
friendly relations with this govern
ment.. During the four months of his
administration Emperor William has
given positive assurances that he has
no intcntionof occupying territory on
this continents; has shown desire to
consult the United States with respect
to the collection of claims from VeneZ-
uela; has asked that the presidents
daughter christen his new yacht, and
has finally announced that his brother
and his imperial yacht will pay visit
to this country. The desire for Ameri-
can friendship is so obvious that it has
impressed the officials.
Tn connection with the proposed trip
of the Hohenzollern to New York En-
peror William telegraphed as follows
in English TO President Roosevelt:
81 am most gratifled by your kind per-
mission for Miss Roosevet's performing
the christening ceremony Of my yacht. 1t
gives me great pleasure to aRnounce to you
that l have ordered my yacht. the Hohen-
zollern. to cross over and be present at the
ceremony. My brother, Admiral Prince
Henry of Prussia. will appear as my rep
resentative and will be able to express to
you once more my sincere feelings and
friendship for the United States and their
illustrious head.
President Roosevelt replied as fol-
lows in German:
''Your majesty's intention to send over
your yacht. the Hohenzollern. to attend
the christening by my daughter of your
new yacht is the source of great pleasure
and satisfaction to me. / can assure you
a hearty welcome for your brother, Adj
miral Prince Henry. to whom shall per-
sonally express my sincere feelings of es-

she began to pan and to dig she
struck gold in enormous quantities,
and when she left Cape Nome she
brought with her nearly 100000 in
gold, which she either panned or Sc
cured from digging. She left behind
her four claims. and has been offered
while here 100000 for half interest
in one of them.

IL srnl- annunl reroft of Geass
Treasurer Mcllillan haa BEEN 1led
With Governor White, allowing the r.
scelpta and disbursements Of tho state
for the six months ending January !.
The statement shows balances in the
various funds Of the state June 80,
1901, Of $s47, 9s5.S7. The receipts dur
ing the six months have been $685.
348.39 from miscellaneous sources,
$117,095.47 from taxes from counties
to the general fund of the state, ST.
663.S3 for the payment of the asylum
bond which are to be taken up this
year, $15, 304.55 for the bond interest
fund of the state. The receipts Of
state funds are differently noted now
than in former years, owing to the
changes that have been made in the
method of levying tax. Taxes for the
educational institutions of the state
are now levied in special fund, and
the expenses of these institutions are
not now paid out of the general fund,
but out of this special tax fund,
which is levied at the rate of one mill
on the dollar of taxable property in
the state. The semi annual report
shows the first receipts to this fund
from the tax levied by the State
Board of Equalization, and the re-
ceipts credited to the various institu-
tions are as follows:
State University, Grand Forks. s. s51 90
Agricultural College ................ 1,175.59
Normal School, Valley City....... 1854
Normal School, Mayville. .......... 1854
Deaf School. Devils Lake. ......... 764.08
School of Forestry ................. 1865
The receipts to the general fund
and to the educational institution
funds are small, for the reason that
they are from the taxes of 1901,
which were not due until Nov. /, and
do not become delinquent until Feb.
/, and many taxpayers are holding off
until the date for taxes to become
delinquent. The greatest portion of
the state taxes will be received in
February and March.
Receipts to the wolf bounty fund
are $5,969.9S, and this amount of OUT
standing wolf bounty certificates has
been taken up by the state auditors
Office.
There are still about $4,000 of these
certificates outstanding to be paid be-
fore the wolf bounty slate will be
clean. Receipts of fines, penalties and
forfeitures. for the six months were
$1,271. The interest and income fund
of the state schools yielded $39,624.s6
during the semi-annual period. From
the sale of lands of the state school
endowment the following receipts are
