From statistics gathered by the post
Office department it seems that certain
crimes against the postal laws are on
the increase. There were more rob-
bel+s of post offices in the last fiscal
year than in the year before, and the
rcbberies of street and rural free de-
livery letter boxes were almost three
times as numerous. The large in
crease in the number of the latter class
of offenses is attributed to the growth
of the rural free delivery service. The
bulk of the persons ARRESTED for these
and other offenses we're, persons un-
connected with the postal service, but
there were enough connected with the
system arrested to suggest to the postal
authorities the enactment of a law re-
q1uiring employees ito give bonds to post
masters direct, and holding postmas-
tiers responsible under their own bonds
for all acts and defaults occurring at
their respective offices. The regis
tered mail seems to be pretty we'll safe
guarded. The registered mail handled
during the year comprised 22.S31,4OC
lrieces, and actual loss was sustained
in only I'll cases, so that the average
loss was only one out of every S6,156
pieces.

The sentiment is growing stronger
that good roads is certainly as worthy
a cause as good harbors. Part.o the
traffic of the country has to pass in
and out of the harbors, but all the
traffic all that is produced-has to
pass over the roads. Harbors are
necessary and Of benefit to the coun-
try. Good roads will benefit the whole
country and more Immediately. The
benefit will be direct. something tang
ible. While providing better facili-
ties for the export and import of ma
t~erials,. why not add to the welfare OF
the farmer, the small owners, by in
augurating a system of good roads.
Such a policy, by bringing the pro-
Queer closer to the market, enhances
the value not only of produce. but OF
the farms on which produced. Tt will
add to the wealth of the country.

Mandan Pioneer: Our esteemed
contemporaries so near the new north
west as those in Minneapolis, are sadly
ignorant as to the conditions that pre-
vail ON the Indian ~eservations. Here
is the Minneapolis Tribune saying that
the general experience is that. the
educated youth soon throws off his
store clothes, dons a blanket and re-
verts to his original savagery." This
certainly is not the experience on any
of the reservations in this state; and
we do not believe that a lower grade
OF civilization prevails ON the r~eserva-
rions in Minnesota. There are in this
state today practically no blanket In
dians, neither among those who have
attended eastern schools ncr among
those who have never been beyond the
boundaries of the state. The Re-
turned Students Association on the
Standing Rock reservation is striving,
us an institution. and its members are
striving individually. to bring the tribe
nearer an appreciation of white mems
civilization. and nc returned student
ever dons a blanket. 1t lis the excep-
tion that makes itself talk d of, to see

e~oyTRSMEaT IRRIGATION
a Greet Th'as for the ststs Of
North Dakota.

The Justice of the claims of the states
that have arid or semi-arid lands within
their borders, to some government aid.
in the reclamation Of the lands BY irri-
CATION, is well set forth by the Seattle
Post-lntelligencer, which sect both in
common sense and precedent justi6ca-
tion for action by congress. The bill is
simple and general in its terms. 1t pro-
vidcs merely that all of the proceeds Of
the salesof public lands within the bord.
ers OF those states be hereafter devoted
to the creation of a system of irrigation
within these states. All details Of the sys-
tenn are left entirely to the secretary of
the interior, as are also all questions re-
lating to the disposition OF the public
lands in the irrigated districts, and the
sale of water for use on lands the title TO
which has already passed from the gov
eminent. The sole limitation on this
power of disposition and regulation is in
a provision limiting the amount which
may be sold to any individual to 100
acres.
Attacks on the general principle Of
this bill may be expected, but the west
ern states are amply prepared to meet
them. The bill car be defended both on
principle and lby precedent. 1t has
been recognized, in the disposition of the
public domain, that a certain portion of
such lands should be devoted t o public
or quasi public purposes within the
limits of the states in which the lands lie.

It is announced that the state of North
Dakota will dispose gilmore Of its school
lands thistyear. The sales will uudoubt-
,edly add : generous, sum to the. school
lands. The wisdom has consistedIin the
constitutional minimum price Of SO an
acre and in holding most Of the land for
high prices. There were no sales of
North Dakota school lands between iao3
and iool. In 1891. l8o1 and 1893 the
state sold 10000 acres Of Red Riyor
valley lands at.gsn average price Of
$I7.5o ar acre. Last fall 10000 acres
were sold, some Of the land bringing
$3o.75 an acre, andslarge quantities going
at from SI8 to $7S. These land sales have
Slready yielded the, state eeI,73oyooo and
not o~pe-eleyenth of the states original
holdings have yet beensdisposed Of.
