DIOCESAN CONVENTION.
Episcopaiians Holding Their 116th Annual
Session at New Castle.

Session at New Castle.
The 10th annual session of the Episcopal
Diocese of Delaware was opened in I'm
manuel Episcopal Church at New Castle,
yesterday at $ o'clock. The convention
was called to order by Bishop Coleman.

annual report was read, showing 275 con-
tirmntions during the year In this State
eight ordinations and total of 1889 con-
firmations. In the report he spoke on holy
matrmony and stated that 1t is no mere
natural and civil contract. He held that the
State has no right to limit the term of II
contract nor extend the class of persons be-
tween whom the contract may be made.
Yet he felt that it might properly enough
narrow that class TO make individual safe
guards and do away with the great number
OF divorces.

Hulburt, vice president. The stockhold-
ers IN this company also include the
stockholders who are interested in the
Lyon Land company, the Felt-Hulburt
Land Colony company, the La Moure
Syndicate and the Manitoba Syndicate.
Altogether the Burchard- Hulburt Invest
ment company represents cash capital
OF between $500, 900 and 100000.
All OF the company's lands are carefully
selected, most of them having been chosen
two years ago. Their holdings comprise
over 200, 900 acres including the finest i'm
proved land in the Red River Valley and
southern Minnesota to prairie lands in
North Dakota and timber lands in Mime
sofa and Wisconsin. With so much capi-
tai the company is prepared to hold its
lduuS II necessary, IS Wiling to buy as
well as to sell, and is in position to sell
lands to actual settlers at most reasona-
bic terms. with very small payment
down and reasonable rate Of interest on
the balance. s
The company is essentially not specu-
lat1ve company. 1t includes the leading
bankers Of certain Minnesota and Iowa To-
caIties, the business connections are the
very best, and they intend to continue
permanently in the business of buying
and selling lands and lending money on
farm mortgages and other securities
At present their holdings include forty

this land includes some of the most fer
tile acres in the 100000 Of the whole
states area. The state auditor is au-
thor1zed by law to dispose Of the agricul-
tural lands at a rate of not to exceed
900 acres per year, and at a price not
higher than privately owned land adjoin-
ing can be had for, but the terms of the
sale are very attractive.
Details of Sales.
After the lands have been appraised and
due notice given Of the sale, an auction
is held at the county seat and the lands
offered are sold to the highest bidder,
but no sales are made under the appraised
value, which cannot be less than S.. The
initial payment, made at the time Of pur-
chase, is only Is per cent of the price,
together with interest on the remainder
of the sum from the date of the sale to
the following June I. Forty years time
is allowed at the rate of per cent per
annum, payable in advance on the first
day of June in each year. The principal
may, however, be paid at any time. The
state issues certificates of purchase to the
purchasers of state lands, which are as
signable and should be recorded in the
county, together with all assignments
thereof. All payments on principal or in
tere st are made to the county treasurer.
Further particulars regarding state agri-
cultural lands may be had upon applica-
ton to State Auditor R. G. Dunn, st. Paul,
MINI.
There will be no sales this year until
fall.
The state is shreWd land merchant and
fully understands how valuable must soon
be the vacant lands in a state that already
has population exceeding 1,800,0 900, and
will have at least 2,250,000 in 1910. It
does not propose to throw its lands away.
Many settlers like to buy piece Of pri-
vate land adjoining state land and then
bid the latter in whenever it is Offered
The state auditor always gives prefer
ence to the bids of such persons ovsl
spectators.
The bulk of the state lands now remain
ing are situated in the wooded portion OF
the state-chiefly north Of a line from
Duluth to Moorhead and east Of the
prairies Of the Red River Valley. But
there are still some very good prairie
lands remaining to the state in that great
valley. More than 100, 900 acres were sold
there last fall at price averaging $40
per acre.
Information about the states mineral
and timber lands will be found under
other captions in this edition.

THE BONANZA FARMS
Demand for Land Causing Them I
He Cut I'm.

The big demands for northwestern farm
lands is resulting in division into smaller
tracts Of many OF the big bonanza farms
OF the Dakotas and northern Minnesota.
Most of these big farms were located in
the Red River valley whore the fertility
OF the soil and the general character OF
the country made farming by improved
methods practicable. Among the earliest
enterprises Of this character were the
Oliver Dalrymple farm Of Casselton, N. D.,
the Armenia & Sharon Land company at
Armenia, N. D.; the Dwight Farm and Land
company at Dwight, N. D.; the Grandin
farm at Mayville, and the Elk Valley farm
at Larimore. On the Minnesota side Of the
Red River were located the Keystone farm,
the Burlington farm and the big farm OF
James j. Hill near Northcote. These
farms ranged from 10, 900 to $4,000 acres
In extent. Several OF them still remain
intact but others have been reduced In
size and the lands disposed Of to small
farmers as land prices have advanced.
There are many farms In the northwest
ranging from 1000 TO 5000 acres In ex-
tent, but In many instances these are be-
