ARRoR DAY PROCLAMATION.

Agreeably to long established GUS
tom and because it is especially wise
and necessary that the people of these
prairie states should get apart a day
for the planting of trees and shrubs
and the identifying of homes and
public places, do designate
.5=5 Friday, April 81, 1906,
as Arbor Day for the State of North
Dakota. -44>.
On that day recommend that all
citizens join in the work of setting
out trees and shrubs. Let our schools
and public institutions be further
adorned with the forest growths that
shall bring comfort and delight to this
and future generations. Let appro-
pirate exercises be held in the public
schools that our children may be
taught the wisdom OF common labor
for the civic good and join with in.
telligence and affection in the work OF
Identifying OUT state. Let the love OF
nature enter into and brighten the
hearts of the whole people and Let
1 them signify their gratitude for ieai
and shade by bringing forth these
groves that were the first temples OF
God. s's ssps

Bill to Abolish Land Office Receivers
Has Small Chance Of Passage.

Bill to Abolish Land Office Receivers
Has Small Chance Of Passage.
The house committee on public
lands in congress, in addition to a
hearing recently given to commits
sioner of general land office on
Representative Lacey's bill abolishing
the office Of receiver of public money
at land offices and comforting upon the
register the duties of receiver, has APP
pointed a subc committee to consider it.
Early in December Commissioners
Richards recommended the abolishing
of this office and this recommends
ton was strongly endorsed by the sec
Rotary of the interior. II. Il .ys}. ii
If enacted into law this bill will
cause retirement OF receivers at Bis
march, Devils Lake and Minot. who
each receive 5000 per annum, one at
Dickinson who receives about $2,933
annually, at Fargo, where the SALARY
is $2,671, and one at Grand Forks
where the salary is about $1,450 per
annum. I;
The secretary of the interior and
Commissioners Richards base their re.
commentator largely upon the
ground that the volume OF work now
transacted and receipts Of money at
many if not at all of the local land of.
fees is not such as to require the serv.
ices Of both officers. It is estimated
that over s250,000 villa be saved an
nually If the office of receiver is abol-
ished. I $S555a. s=sEi 3 ssS
The house committee will further
consider the bill and while If may be
reported from that committee favor.
ably and may even pass the house, the
proposition will not have, the slightest
show in the senate. There are III
receivers affected by the bill, all oil
whom are appointed by senators. This
is too large . slice of patronage to be
cut off at one swoop and it can be
stated almost as a certainty that the
office of receiver will not be abolished
for many years to come. However
there will be an agitation OF the mat
ter by senators who desire to lire III
certain receivers and their friends In
elections which will take place within
the next year or two, and It's consider
alton in the senate will be attended
with some jockeying along this line.

Hoaesteaders Who Wish to Commute
Must Reside on the Land the Last
Eight Of the Fourteen Months In
stead OF Six. Nh. 3 >S.s2,. u z> II;
Secretary Hitchcock has put all
homeseekers on the public lands on
notice, that, if they intend to commute
their entries, they must remain upon
the land continuously during eight
months of the fourteen. &.sl5
r Three decisions have. been handed
down by the secretary in the past
month. One case came from South
Dakota, another from Nebraska, and
the third from Oklahoma. In all three
cases the entrynen had offered proof
with their applications to commute,
which was deemed Insufficient as to
residence, by the commits sioner of the
general land office, whose opinion was
sustained by the secretary. -
Under the practice of the interior de-
partment, "a homesteader may take siz

public good, is the City and County
Hospital committee, which was or

the credit of securing the pavilion

An auxiliary has been formed in
connection with the probation COM
mittee of the Juvenile Court, which
will aid greatly in the very noble and
commendable work they have under
taken. A very charming entertain

the treasury of this auxiliary, Mrs.

Active in San Rafael.

An out-of-town organization which
has a number of members who are
we'll known here and who has done
much to add to the comfort of many
San Franciscans is the San Rafael
Improvement Club, of which Mrs
William Babcock is the president.
This club has an active interest in
beautifying the town of San Rafael,
and by the planting of quantities of
trees has achieved much. They have
also secured an extension of the area
in which the streets are to be wat
cred, have had untidy streets and
vacant lots cleared up and much other
work of the kind, but one of their
chief interests is the destruction of
the mosquitoes.
1t is one of the signs of the
progress of times that we have re-
Gently begun to realize the serious
ness of the mosquito question. In
former days, when some of us were
young, the little insect was treated
quite fippantly. We made jokes
about them, and badly mosquito
bitten person was frequently cause
for mirth, as we thought, in our old
fashioned ignorance, that it was
merely a mild irritation. Now we are
taught that the mosquito is in reality
more dangerous than the bear or the
tiger-it is so much more insidious.
When we least expect it the little
bearer of microbes and disease may
steal upon us and .inoculate us with
malaria, yellow fever and almost any
thing else that happens to be around
So in San Rafael the latest mosquito
exterminating tactics were followed
and the result has been most grateful
to the summer residents of the at
tractive town.
Mrs. John F. Boyd, Mrs Frank

Society Women and Orphans.

In San Francisco there were before
the FIRE an unusual number of or
ganizations of one kind and another
for the good of mankind, and it is en-
couraging to note the way in which
these are being called together
again and are resuming their various
lines of work
Many leading society women who
are out Of town at the present time
return each week or month or when
ever it may be necessary to attend
the meetings of their organizations,
among them being Mrs. Timothy
Hopkins and Miss Annie Beaver, who
are deeply interested in the Ladies
Protection and Relief Society, which
cares for hundred or two homeless
little orphans and does much to
bring brightness into their sad child
hood
Mrs. James Robinson is another
active worker in this charity, her
father having been one of those
originally interested and havinA
given tract of land for the orphan
age. Mrs. Evans S. Pillsbury has
always been prominentsin the organi-
zation and was for some time on the
board of managers.
Mrs. w. R. Smedberg and Mrs.
Charles P Eells are interested in the
Protestant Orphan Asylum, whose
large building on Haight street shell
tiers many children.
Miss Carrie Gwin, Miss Eva May
nard and the Misses Heath are among
those who assist in keeping UP the
Maria Kip Orphanage and are the
moving spirits in the sale arranged
each year for the benefit of the at
tractive orphan girls, who, in their
uniforms os blue serge with the
quantity pointed white caps, are al
ways in evidence at the bazaars and
add to the charm OF the scene.
The San Francisco Nursery for
Homeless Children, which has re-
Gently ereGted handsome building
far out on Lake street, has among its
most interested directors Mrs. George
B. Sperry and Mrs. Edgar F. Preston.
The Day Nursery, in connection
with the Episcopal Mission of the
Good Samaritan in the past, cared for
scores of children from babyhood up
TO the age of few years, while their
mothers were at work during the day.
