TT WILL PROPOSE REBATE TO IN.
DUSTRIOUS SETTLERS.
Representative Asher Murray Has Been
Advised that His Method of Encour-
aging Cultivation of Newly Acquired
Lands Is Valid-Provisions Of the
Bill He Will Introduce.

Representative Asher Murray of Wa
dena, who introduced bill yesterday
making Sc the minimum price Of state
land, has another measure he intends
to introduce, which will bring in the
feature of rebate or bounty to actual
settlers and improvers Of land bought
from the state.
The bill will require the state land
commissioner to remit the interest on
first i've, upon proof by the contract
holder, certified by two witnesses, that
he. has erected habitable. buildings on
T the land and is actually residing there
with his family. One years interest
may also be rebated for proof that 10
per cent of the acreage has been cleared
and drained and is being used for field
or meadow, but no contract can be
related for more than three years. All
years, and the land commissioner, on
proof that rebate has not been earned,
may charge it to the land again any
time before six years.
| Mr.. Murray has been advised that
this plan is valid. He had intended
introducing a bill to allow part of the
principal related on account Of i'm
provements, but concluded that this fea-
lure WOuld CLASH WIN Inc stdIe conStA'

The bill introduced yesterday intro
| duces several new features in the law
governing state land sales, beside the
| Sc minimum. It requires that one of
the three appraisers of state land, ap,
pointed by the state auditor, shall not
| be resident of the county where the
land is situated. It is definitely pro-
vided that the squatter who has made
improvements shall not be compelled
to pay for the price Of them, and he
shall also be given preference over 9th,
er bidders in case Of an equal bid. The
compensation Of appraisers is raised
from So to 81 day.
Another section Of the bill makes it
possible to sell small bodies Of timber
with the land, the purchaser to pay
for the timber in full at the time OF
the sale. The present law requires the
timber to be sold first and separately

EMINENT DOMAIN OF RAILWAYS
Judge Fish Discusses Provision Of the
Revised Statutes.

Tho the revised statutes contemplate
giving the street railway companies the
right of eminent domain, as previously
cited in The Journal, this right
is subject to control in cities thru the
franchises granted such companies, &C
cording to an explanation made by
Judge Daniel Fish, chairman Of the stat
utes revision commission. In an inter
view Judge Fish said: ......

the right of eminent domain to the street

ice corporations should have these rights
The rights conferred by the code on the
street railway companies are subject to

Texas Guards Against Infection.

Austin, Tex, Aug. State Health
Officer Tabor has submitted report
to Governor Lanham concerning the
yellow fever situation in the South,
in which he says:
"Yeilow fever exists now in Louisi-
ana, Mississippi, Alabama, Florida and
the Republic of Mexico. Texas is
sandwiched between the infected dis
tricts, with very little hope of escap-
ing invasion by the scourge with the
long summer before us. We are guard
ed as closely as possible, but it is
very hard to maintain a successful
quarantine. would most certainly
insist that there be no mobilization OF
citizens or soldiers at this time, as any
excitement might cause general stam-
pede and a general quarantine that
could tie up the entire railroad service
of the state"
The officer has also called upon the
governor to hold the entire state ranger
force in reserve subject to his orders,
as he may need them at any time to
control the quarantine situation.

Russian ENJOYS viii Not Consider

NOR WILL THEY YIELD SAEAHALIN
Peace Prospect Is Black - wl,te De-
livers Reply to Japanese
Both Sides Firm,

Portsmouth, N, H., Aug, l2.-Rus-
sia's reply TO the Japanese terms Of
peace were delivered by NJ, Witte to
Baron Komura at 9:S0 o'clock today.
The reply is written, there being two
texts, one in French, the other in Eng
lish. Upon the two crucial points, IN
demnity and the cession Of the island
of Sakhalin, the reply is an absolute
nonpossumus. other points are ac-
cepted rs basis for discussion, while
others are accepted conditionally,
The reply is rather long, because, in
enumerating the conditions on which
discussion is admitted and those on
which consideration is declined, rea-
sons and arguments are given. The
Japanese plenipotentiaries asked for an
immediate adjournment to examine
and prepare their reply. NJ. Witte
intimated that the Russian plenipoten-
tiaries expect the Japanese to display
as much expedition as they, "the Rus
SLAMS, have shown in the preparation
OF their response" Monday, there
fore is expected to be the day on which
the real discussion of the negotiations
will begin. Neither side wants to in.
dulge in diplomatic sparring. The
time for fencing is over and less than
week must decide whether basis OF
peace is possible.
The tactics OF the Japanese are in
scrutable. They have shown through.
out the war their ability to guard their
secrets, military, naval and diplomatic,
and now not the remotest clue comes
from behind their closed doors as to
whether they are prepared to make
substantial concessions, Silence and
secrecy are their watchwords. But,
should the conditions as submitted con.
stitute their last word, hope OF peace
may be regarded as having disappeared,
il the feeling reflected in Russian cir
cles is true criterion. And that no
substantial concessions on the nam
issues will be made is the belief both in
Russian and Japanese. circles. NJ.
Witte, it is positively known, believes
the prospects of an agreeent are so re-
mote as to be practically nil He has
no desire to prolong the agony, and in
stead of fencing when the ENJOYS come
together after the japanese have had
the opportunity to examine the reply,
there is strong reason to believe he will
not only welcome but will insist upon
an immediate discussion OF all the
proposed bases, So pessimistic is he
that he has already been talking to
his colleagues OF his plans when the
rupture comes. Before sailing for home
he contemplates a visit to Chicago.

Christiana, Norway, Aug. IL. - An

he'd on board Anthony Fiala and his
party. One Norwegian seaman in the
party died of natural causes.
The party reached latitude Of SO
degrees 82 minutes north latitude.
William Ziegler, the late baking
powder millionaire, sent out Anthony
Fiala in 1908 to discover the north
pole. The party sailed in the steam
ship America. They penetrated to the
latitude given when their ship became
locked in as the ice grew solid in the
Arctic winter. There was nothing to
do but to battle with the ice, cutting
away that nearest the boat that the
upheaval of the great blocks of ice
might not crush the vessel. These
efforts, however, were vain, and early
in the winter the America was ground
to pieces in the polar pack.

there were many expressions OF regret
from those who knew him. For more
than I6 years he had worked at the print
ing trade and was an excellent mechanic.
1t may truly be said that work entrusted
to him was done accurately and well.
When the Spanish-American war broke
out, he was the first patriot Of old St.
Georges Hundred to respond to his coun-
try's call, and enlisted in Company l., lst
Delaware Regiment, and was soon pro-
NOTED to Quarter-master Sergeant, which
position he held until the close of the
war.
He was the eldest son Of the late An

31st year of his age and unmarried. lie
