Official County and City Paper
SIS PER YEAR
The Constitutional Amend
mentS.
There are three proposed
to the constitu ton
of the state of Minnesota which
will be submitted to the voters
Of the state at the general cleo
ton NOV. 8.
The first of these raises the
gross earnings tax on railroads
from three to four per cent. the
second makes it possiblefor loans
to be made from the state school
fund where the total indebted.
ness of the district to which the
loan is made does not exceed
fifteen per cent of the assessed
valuation of the real estate of the
district the constitu ton at pres
ent setting the limit at seven per
cent, and the third amendment
makes possible change in the
grand jury system Of the state.
The constitution now provides
that the railroads of the state
shall pay tax of three per cent
upon their gross earnings in lieu
of all other taxes. The proposed
amendment simply raises the
rate to four per cent. If it
carries, the state will be the
gamer by many hundreds of
thousands of dollars. The sec
ond proposed amendment con-
Germs the loaning of the state
school funds. These funds now
amount to about fifteen million
dollars and the interest derived
from them goes to the support of
all of the schools of the state.
At present these moneys cannot
be loaned at a lesser rate than
three per cent and then only in
case the total debt of the school
district applying for the loan will
not be thereby increased to more
than seven per cent of the
assessed real estate valuation of
the district. The amendment,
if carried, will make it possible
to loan up to fifteen per cent of
the assessed real estate valua-
ton. The third amendment
touches the manner in which
criminal prosecutions shall be
begun The constitution now
provides that ''no person shall
be held TIC answer for a criminal
off ense unless upon the present
ment or Indictment of a grand
jury" The effect of the pro.
posed amendment will be. to al
low the legislature to decide how
actions shall be begun
by informotion of the county at
torney, by Indictment by grand
jury, or by both or either as the
legislature may see fit.
No amendments but these
three will be submitted this year.
All three were submitted two
years ago and failed to be adopt
ed because thousands of voters
failed to vote upon them. The
provides that no
amendment can carry unless it
receives a majority Of all the
votes cast at the election. Simp-
lp majority of the votes cast on
the amendment is not sufficient.
The amendments are each of
great Importance to the state and

 London, Dec. 2l.-For the past two months Japan and Russia have been moving troops more or less quietly to Korea and China. Barracks have been built at Port Arthur for 10000 addi- tional Russian troops, and feverish haste is being displayed in railway con- struction. The dispatch of Japanese troops to Korea is looked on as a grave move un the part of Japan. The troops are intended to guard telegraph lines, but it means the occupation of Korea, which Japan will probably refuse to evacuate until Russia evacuates Man churia. In addition to all this the war fleets of both Russia and Japan are practically stripped for war. The British war office, it is stated, will not be surprised to hear of hostilities break ing out at any time. Russia's finances are not at all in a healthy condition, and the imperial government is seeking to negotiate loan of $l00, ,000,00

It is l30 feet wide, and how many feet more they do not know. In depth the paystreak is about three feet. The ground Is not frozen, neither does it require much timbering. It is 6S feet to bedrock. The claim is being worked in systematic manner, only pay dirt being hosted to the surface by means of whim. It IS expected that between S30, 900 and $40, 900 will be cleaned up next spring.

.CLEANLY HABITS
Natives are Learning the Use of Soap and Water and Health
 is Improving.

A change has been made in the superintendency of the Quartz creek native colony, Capt. Peter Bayne sue ceeding William Mcknight as super intendent and teacher. Capt. Bayne is well known old timer who under. stands the native character thoroughly.
 Rev. C. E. Ryber. visited the colony last week. With him were !. H. Brand. Sam F. Taylor, Mr. Peterson, J. E. Todd, Miss Rybers and Miss Whaite. The party enjoyed the trip thoroughly and were much interested in the progress of the colony and the school.
 Alr. Ryberg states that the natives are in good condition; they are acquir- ing cleanly habits and are learning to use soap and water plentifully. Then physical welfare is therefore being inn proved.
 The natives got the idea that the provisions recently secured for them were to be at once distributed, but they were quickly disabused of the notion. Each is compelled to do something for what he gets, and they are thus taught that they cannot receive provisions and sit down and eat them. and await another supply. They now understand the situation and take it kindly.
