More about State Lands.

J. D. Nipple in his Pierre Regis
ter of April 1st, devotes over three
columns of valuable space to a re-
ply to our article of March 18th,
on the effect Of the capital location
on the price of our state lands.
He compliments us by attributing
the article to the pen of G. r. III
nan of the Mitchell press bureau
and then deyotes the greater part Of
bis ''reply" to personal abuse of
Mr.. Tinan. With due apologies
to Mr. Tinan for the ISLANDERS that
our article has brought upon him,
we will T'pass up" that part Of the
''reply," as we believe Mr.. Tinan's
character is not the question to be
voted on next November, and will
refer only to that portion affecting
the capital location.
In our former article we attempt
ed to show the fallacy Of the argu-
ment that by leaving the capital
at Pierre the sale of the state lands
in that part of the state would be
hastened, or that the price would
be enhanced, and as evidence we
called attention to the fact that
during the IA years that the capi-
tai has been located in Hughes
county less than a section of the
state lands in that county have
been sold. In reply the State Reg
lister says:
This same deceiving article fail.
ed also to say that while $40 acres
of school land had been sold in
Hughes county in 1891 at an aver
age of $25.39 an acre only 40 acres
had been sold in Dawson county
up to 1902, and that at the mini
mum price of $40 an acre.
Our purpose was not to 'knock'
Hughes county, hence we said
nothing in regard to the price al
which this land was sold, but since
the Register invites further discus
sion of the facts we do not hesitate
to give them. This $40 acres was
purchased in 1891, right after the
capital was located at Pierre, anc
is located at the suburbs of the
city, most of it having been laic
out in town lots. OF the $40 acres
sold all except so acres has beer
forfeited for non payment and Is
now owned by the state. Assuming
that the land was worth what i
was sold for this forfeiture has oc
casioned loss of over $4,000 tc

was purchased by G. u. Hyde.
who neglected payment for severa
years, and payment was finally
made only when the commissions
of public lands was about to begir
action against him. The other a
acres, the only portion that was
| paid for cheerfully, was bought b.
a man living down east who neye!

/ Ia stating these facts we ar
aware that we, Cor perhaps Mr.
Tinan, will be charged with knock

ern portions of the state, but s.

the assertion that there is not an

DR. Pc. D. Malcolm, who has been

strong vocal chords, would all assist

German teacher of singing OF the last
century, when she elucidated the phys

said:
suppose that the voice tone of
singers lowest note gives 200 vibra-
tions in a second, then its octave has
400 IN the same time e. twice as
many. The octave above this has 500
vibrations and the next one no less
than 1000. The A from which all
instruments are tuned has usually 40
to $50 vibrations to the second
At a rough calculation, therefore,
Nina David's high G must demand a
vibration of her vocal chords of about
1900 to the second. Does not her
ability to sing the note argue that
her vocal chords are almost phenom-
enally powerful? The strain put upon
them must be enormous. This seems
to be the only solution of a very in
teresting problem.

the opera should be given for the first

Not so long ago if we were sponsor for
an infant and wanted to give it a hand
some present other than christening
mug, we might spend a small fortune
on an elegant silver or gold powder
box, with it's puff to match. But the
heightened baby. if we offer it such a
gift today, would regard us as dis
tinctly behind the times. And do you
know what is taking the place Of the
discarded box? Why, nothing but a
bag. OF course, it is made of the
daintiest and most beautiful material,
but even at that, owing to its limited
size, it cannot be made very ex-

we have been making for several
years out of two squares of china silk
and two squares of silkoline in the
same, or a contrasting color, for lin
ing. The middle of the square is cut
out in a small round.
And that is the general style oi the
powder bag. 1t is, however, less than
half as large as the buster bag used
to be. 1t is perforce made of material
through which the powder will not
sift, but this can be as handsome as
can be bought. The hole which forms
the mouth of the bag is just as big
as the top of the powder puff. The
bag hangs up, and you who have been

black gown, will bless the new de-
parture, because the powder does not
all fall out, even when the bag is
overturned. The puff which accom-
panies this bag may be of silver or
gold-mounted. and may be as costly
and elaborate as you please. The
material of which the bag is made
some delicate shade of pink or blue,
or it may be made of one of the
dainty Dresden brocades with a tiny
floral design. OF course, the large
