THE PUBLIC LANDS LAWS.
Report of the Commission Appointed to
Make Suggestions.

| The commission appointed by the Pres-
dent on October % 1903. consisting of w.
A. Richards commissioner of the general
land office: Clifford Pinchot. chief forester
of the Department of Agriculture. and L.
II. Newwell, chief engineer of the reclama-
ton service. to make suggestions regarding
has made to the President a partial report
which has been sent to Congress. 1t rec
ommends the repeal of the timber and some
act and the substitution of suitable provi
sions for selling after appraisal the tim
Der on public lands when needed il large
or small quantities for industrial purposes.
The commission also recommends the re-
peal of the law permitting assignment of
entries under the desert land law. and
urges the Importance of a more careful
administration of the law especially of
those provisions relating to obtaining an
adequate permanent water supply. 1T adj
vocates the restricting Of the commuta-
ton clause of the homestead entry, where
such entries are located within forest re-
serves or where the land is chiefly valuable
for timber.
1t suggests the outlines for a law per-
hitting homestead entries upon agricul-
tural lands within forest reserves and the
survey and description of such agricul-
tural lands by metes and bounds rather
than by the rectangular system, thus per-
uniting the agricultural lands to be se-
lected along the valleys and to embrace the
good tillable land without taking in extern
sive tracts of side hill.
The recommendation also is made that
when lands are restored to entry after
temporary segregation, ample time should
be allowed homestead entrymen to exer-
else their rights, giving them the pref
erence over persons who may wish to Sc
lect the land by the use of scrip or other
form of entry.

GRAND TRUNK LINE TO PACIFIC.
London Shareholders Ratify Agreement
With Canadian Government.

LONDON, March S.-The Grand Trunk
railroad shareholders at meeting today
ratified the agreement with the Canadian
government for the construction of Grand
Trunk line to the Pacific.
The decision was reached only after a
prolonged discussion.
The meeting was packed. and at one stage
of the proceedings the tone was unmistaka-
bly, hostile to embarking in so huge en-
terprise.
General Manager Hays, who had come
from Canada specially to attend the meet
ing, saved the situation. and when the final
vote was taken there were only a few OPP
ponents to the Grand Trunk railroad under
taking to build transcontinental road.

About 100 buildings were burned includ-

The cause of the fire is not known. The
damage is estimated at 100000 The Fake
landed all her crew to fight the flames, and
without their timely assistance the whole
town would have been totally wiped out.

Work of Rival Railroads.

Vice President Smithers openly attributed
some of the criticism to the instigation of
rival railroads
Then General Manager Hays bluntly told
the shareholders that if they did not ac-
cept the Canadian offer other influences
would. and that without transcontinental
extension the future of the Grand Trunk
would be gloomy in the extreme. Mr.. Hays
prophesied great future for the new road,
which would be able to hold it's own in COM
petition with the existing systems in Can
ada and the United States
After over two and a half hours discus
sion Mr.. Aliens amendment was defeated
and the agreement was ratified.
The semi-annual accounts were passed.
but not without criticism of the increased
expenditure, which the president said was
justified on account of the larger traffic

Needed More Time.

Then, after another. shareholders
representing blocks of 10000 and more
shares rose and declared they had not had
sufficient time to consider huge en-
terpriSe.
An amendment was proposed by George
Allen, who had resigned his seat in the
directorate on account of the matter under
discussion, in which Mr. Allen declared
the intended action would ruin the Grand
Trunk railroad.
Several large shareholders withdrew their
proxies and placed them in the hands of
the directors
The president in reply to cries of lad
journ. explained that the Canadian par
lament at it's meeting March 10 must have
an answer one Way or the other

Justified by Prosperity.

Sir Charles Rivers Wilson. president of the
company. said the new line was justified by
the flow of prosperity from east to west
and the increasing immigration into Canada
from the United States. The Grand Trunk
could not hope to receive such generous
treatment from the Canadian government
as the Canadian Pacific railroad but the
premier. Sir Wilfrid Laurier. had acted alb
solutely fairly, in spite of violent political
opposition. with the object OF attaining addf-
tiCnal facilities for the development of Can
ada.
The president characterized the deposit
demanded by the Canadian government in
connection with the agreement as an Eek
tremely unnecessary and unreasonable de-
mand"

With this issue the Inter Ocean
closes its twenty first year in the
journalistic field of North Dakota.
The Inter Ocean has always taken a
prominent interest in the advancement
of Devils Lake, Ramsey county and
the state at large, and its purpose in
furnishing its several thousand of
readers with newsy and clean fami
ly j,urnal has evidently been fully
appreciated by its patrons and the
common public. The merits Of the
paper as news agency and favorite
in the homes of our people, have
swelled its circulation to number
Second to no journal in this part Of
the state. Its mission, to continue as
the leading organ in these parts, will
only be augmented as years roll by,
and the management will leave moth
ing undone to make the Inter Ocean
the newspaper of the central part of
this region of North Dakota.

much it means Of difficulty, or even
disaster, in the business world of the
future, it may be difficult to determ-

ly difficult to produce men with the
character and the intellectual stamina
which are necessary in the manage.

who have simply grown up as clerks

RUSSIA UNPREPARED FOR WAR.

1t is mistake to euppose that Rus.

The Car was opposed to it. A strong

bank, and author of Russia, Mission
in ASIA has stool out bravely

Russia wants an ice-free port on the
Pacific; she wants all uninterrupted

trade; she ENTHUSIASTICALLY, per-
haps-Chind. Blu. it Is net likely
that she really wants these enough to
fight for them. The best, ablest men
of Russia know that she is not pre-
pared for war. The Alexieffs and
the Pobiedonostseffs have tried to con-
vince the GEAR that foreign war
would defer a political and social
c1isis. The far-seeing counselors,
and the rest Of the world can see that
war is likely to preripitate such
crisis with the Films smarting under
recent outrages and taking, no pains
to conceal the fact that they are

i've CRY real estate to pay the tax.
How would the farmers feel if the
should be called upon to surrender
one sixth Of their income for tax.
There is another form Of Injustice
to which the owner Of city realty is
subject that is the unwarrantable
discrimination in valuation Of / erson-
al property as against realty. If a
merchant insures his goods for So. 600
and is assessed for only $1,000, we
cannot say from that fact alone that
his assessment is too low; but if real
estate can be insured for only $4,000
and the lot is worth, say So, 500 while
the assessment is 50, 500, it looks as if
the owner of that realty was paving.
tax On one-third Of the valuation,
while the owner of the realty is as
sessed at least four times as high in
the original townsite as in the addi-
tions and three times as high as city
personally. Theve proportions are not
exaggerated. The disparity is actu-5
ally greater. What is the remedy :
Assess original townsite lots on the
same ratio as the outlets are assessed
and assess city personality OF the same
basis as city realty. The writer sug-
gests that owners Of realty in this
city investigate this subject aud en-
