Somebody has been deluding a good
many innocent people by the tale that
silver dollars coined in 1894 are at a
high premium, and will, il sent to the
proper officials, be exchanged for rail-
way tickets to st. Louis and admission
to the Worlds Fair. Letters concern
ing these coins, says the Globe Demo-
crat, come from all over the country.
The story, of course, is a hoax. There
is no premium on the silver dollar Of
1894. Neither the Worlds Fair people
nor anybody else is offering tickets to
st. Louis in exchange for a silver dol
lar of 1894 OF of any other year, unless
the person is within the dollar fare
limit of distance from the city. and
even then he would be compelled to
pay his way into the fair grounds ex-
ira if he wanted to get in.

New Land Office Order.

The commissioner of the general
land Office has sent out an order that
will be widespread in its effect among
settlers on land lying near the bound
aries of each land district.
In the order the commissioner holds
that all afidavits. proofs or oaths of
any kind required to be made by appli-
cants and entrymen under the home
stead laws must be made before a
United States commissioner or before
a judge or clerk of any court of record
in the land district in which the land
is located. Heretofore it has been
possible for entrymen fling on land in
n district, but nearer to another, to
make the necessary afidavits in the
latter. Under the new order such
affidavits will have to be made in the
land district in which the land is To-
Gated.

APPROVES sPALp,Mo's PLAN.

Grand Forks Herald Sees Wisdom In
the Suggested Plan Of Congressman
spaIdine.
Grand Forks Herald: In a dispatch
from Bismarck it is stated that Con-
gresham Spalding has in view certain
amendments to the irrigation bill
which are of the utmost Importance
to this state. The irrigation bill as at
present in force provides that FIVE per
cent of all the money received from the
sale Of public lands shall be set aside
for the reclamation of arid lands. the
money to be expended in the states
where's the lands sold are situated.
This law has been in operation for
only about a year, and yet In that short
time there has been accumulated to
the credit of the state of North Dakota
nearly So, 900. 900. This fund will on
tinue to grow for many years. There
is at present no large area of land sur
veyed where irrigation can be profit
ably undertaken. Under the law. when
there is no demand for the money for
irrigation purposes in n state it may
be used in another state temporarily.
The plan of Congressman Spalding is
to amend the bill SO as to permit the
use of this money for the drainage of
flooded lands as we'll as for the flood
ing of arid lands.
1t is difficult to see what rational
objection can be raised to this plan.
The principle at the bottom Of the
present bill is that it is within the pro-
vince of the government to use a por-
ton Of the money received from the
sale of its lands for the reclamation of
lands which are not at present in con-
dition to be proftably used. The bill
provides for the flooding of dry lands.
Would it not be equally proper to pro-
vide for the drying Of flooded lands.
or those which are liable to be flooded?
The idea is simply to improve the pub
lie domain in the readiest and most
available manner. The Spalding plan
seems to be an excellent one.

from the vicinity of Glen Ullin made
a trip to Chicago recently, not being
acquainted with city life. he did not
notice the name of the street or the
number where he was stopping before
going out to take in the sights, con-
sequently he got lost and to cap the
climax he paid a conductor % cents
to let him ride all night on the "Afri-
can Central street car line and at the
first peep of dawn paid a drayman
$1.OO to haul him to the depot, where
some of his Glen Ullin friends were
anxiously awaiting him, ready to take
the train for home.
