STATE BONDS.
The Law Which Seems to Apply to &
Portion of the Recent Bond Issue.

The Law Which Seems to Apply to a
Portion of the Recent Bond Issue.
In regard to the ability of the state
treasurer to take up the bonds of the
warrior institutions with the money
in the permanent school fund, a
prominent attorney yesterday called
the attention of the Forum to.the fol-
lowing: -.
In 1901, chapter SO, is entitled an
act to define the system Of free public
schools in the state and reads as sol-
lows.
1.-THE state university and school of
mines at Grand Forks, the agricul-
tural college at. Fargo, the state nor
NAL schools at Valley City and May
vile, the deaf and dumb asylumsat
Devils Lake, the industrial school
and school of manual training at Ell
lendale. a scientific school at Wahpe-
ton. the school of forestry of Bot
~tineau, and all other schools hereto
fore established by law and main-
tanned by taxation constitute the
system of free public schools of the
state.
This gentleman declares that this
makes them school corporations, and
they come within the meaning of Sec
ton 1862 of the constitution which
reads: "The moneys of the per-
manent school fund and other edrca-
tional funds shall be invested only in
bonds of school corporations within
the state" etc.
No one doubts the security behind
the proposed bonds, and the folego-
ing seems to furn ish a legal method
of securing from the state the funds
to make the. necessary improvements
in these institutions. This is especi-
ally true of the educational institu-
tions mentioned above. Some of the
other bonds may be in different
shape.

Students Costly Kisses.

A young student at Oberlin COZ
lege has paid at the rate of $3.50
apiece for two kisses which he stole
from a fair coed. The studentvh had
accompanied the girl to a college en-.

safely to the door of her boarding
house he asked her to kiss him good
night. She refused. but he thought
her mo" meant eyes," and he kissed
her twice. The young woman re.

BIG LAND DEAL.
Three Million Acres Of Territory in the
Il Northwest Comes Under Control of
St. Paul People. /,

For $12, 900, 900 Minnesota capita
lists yesterday purchased 5000, 900
acres of land in the Canadian North
west.
The transaction which is one of the
largest land sales aver cansummated
in the United States or in the Canadas,
includes the entire grant of the Cana
dian Northern Railway company.
Not an acre is excepted.
The completion of, the transfer,
word of which was received by inter
ested parties in st. Paul late last
night, was accomplished in Toronto
yesterday afternoon by ca. A. D..
Davidson, of Duluth. Associated
with him in the purchase are A. D.
McRae and George e. Howe, also of
Duluth; A. h. Davidson, of Little
Falls, Mimi. D. H. Mcdonald, Of
Fort Q'Appelle, and A. j. Adamson,
of Rostern, N. w. T., and George F..
Pipier, F. E. Kenston. and. w. D..
Douglas, all of Minneapolis.
st. Paul will be made the distrib-
uting point of this unprecedented
transaction, and as soon as the re-
quired formalities can be completed a
new company with a paid-up capital
Of .$55, 600, 600, to be known as the
Manitoba & Saskatchewan Valley
Land company, limited, will be or
gained.
Offices will be maintained in Eng

colonization, and settlement on the
new lands.
The lands which Col. NJ. Davidson

way, which is the Canadian extension
of the,N 4SsPaeifc'railroSd The
road extends from the boundary line
to Winnipeg, and ats branches tap
much of the Northwest territory.
The only railroad lands now intact in
the Canadas are those controlled by
the Canadian Pacific Railway com
pany. /.
Canada is just now the Mecca Of
the land seeker and immigrant, and
the contamination of this immense
deal puts Minnesota capital in direct
control of the movement. Many
thousands of strangers are pouring
into the country, and the land pur-
chased is directly in their path. As
much of this influx is from England,
/ it is. for this reason that English
Offices have been decided upon. They
will be controlled from the central
Office in St. Paul, the same as all the
other agencies that are to be estab-
lished.
The head Offices are to be opened in
St. Paul at once, and branches, with
thousands of agents, will be establish
ed all over the United States. In
land circles, st. Paul is considered as
receiving unusual prestige from the
deal.

AN AMERICAN PACIFIC CABLE.

There was much propriety in SO timing the
completion Of the last link in the Philippines
submarine cable that the first formal message
might be sent over it on the Fourth Of July.
Although it is not the first submarine tele-
graph line to span the Paciffc-its completion
having been anticipated eight months by the
Vancouver Brisbane cable-it has a special sig
nif1cance for the United States. Two impor-
tant acquisitions to American territory, re-
Gently made, are now brought into direct COM
munication with the country to which they be-
long. With Hawaii there was no connection at
all before, and the Philippines could only be
reached by route more than twice as long,
exceedingly circuitous, and in the control Of
other governments In the new cable the peo-
pie and the government Of the United States
have rare privileges. The rates for messages
will be materially reduced, the Washington au-
thorities have the right Of way over all COM
mercial business. an option on the whole prop
erty has been secured, and temporary con-
troll is permissible in any great national emer-
gency. Thus in entirely new sense Amer
Tea now achieves independence.
For what it received the United States Gov
eminent paid handsomely. In the first place
it gave to the Commercial Gable Company
the coveted chance to utilize Hawaii, the Mid
way Islands, Guam and Luzon for termini 1t

surveys Of the ocean bed west OF Honolulu
made under Admiral Bradford's direction years
before, when the idea OF government cable
was under consideration The soundings thus
made proved of immense practical value to the
company. Those surveys involved both large
pecuniary outlay and the expenditure Of much
time. By possessing their fruits the cable
company was able to finish its own work much
sooner than would otherwise have been pos
sible. It's contract with the American Govern
ment gave it till January 1, 1905 That such
rapid progress has been made is due, in some
measure, to this bargain.
Not one of the four sections Of the cable now
completed is more than about twenty-five hun
dred miles long, while the Hawaiian Midway
portion is scarcely fifteen hundred miles in
length So far engineering difficulties are
concerned, therefore, the task is not especially
remarkable, aside from the great depth and r.
regularity OF the bottom Of the Pacific To
take care of eight thousand miles of cable.
however. is a serious task. Theoretically, the
necessity for repair Will be increased in pro-
portion TO its length, and the labor and expense
will be greater than in the Atlantic service.
But the art of construction has so improved
that little interruption from this source is to be
anticipated. Though about four times as long
the first Atlantic cable, this new one across

THE ,TANITOR

When the janitress of a metropolitan apart
ment house committed suicide few days ago
because the tenants would not comply with GER
tain regulations which she in the line OF her
duties was paid to enforce, The Tribune called
attention TO the fact that the janitors life is
not always a happy one Even if the janitor
is at times less polite than the tenant wishes
him to be; if his demands as TO the use OF
water, the disposal Of ashes and the reception
of parcels seem tyrannical, he is always the
guardian of the house. and does the faulthnding
tenant many favors for which he never re-
ceives credit He has been the accomplishing
butt of the joker and the cartOonist so long that
it is refreshing to note that there are some peo-
pie who appreciate his worth and are willing
to reward him for It, Many of these were
present last night when prizes were awarded
to the janitors whose work was the most salts
factory in the contest which covered period of
six weeks.
The men who were instrumental in bringing
about the contest deserve credit for calling at
tention in that way to a large number Of men
whose honest work is usually underestimated.
The janitor lives in small. cramped and often
unsanitary quarters; he is responsible for the
condition of the house; he stands between the
tenant and the unwelcome visitor; he is at times
expected to see everything, and again is ask ed
to be accommodatingly blind. He repairs the
water pipe or the electric wires, fixes the radi-
ator or finds the lost baby. and his wife, in
emergencies, repairs a garment or takes the
place of a waitress. He is on duty before the
tenants arise and works long after others have
retired, and still the threat of the dissatisfied
tenant, "I'll report you," hangs over him con-
stantly.
Gatherings like the one which took place last
night are conducive not only to improved con-
ditions in the tenement house district, but to a
better standing in the eyes of the community
of the janitor.
