RELATING To
NEW DIOCESE
Bishop Restarick Tells
of Creation of See
of MeIanesea.

The item in this paper yesterday ref
ative to the creation of a new See
to comprise Fijian, Tongan and Sa-
moan groups was rather confusing to
the attendants of the Episcopal church
here but is made clear by Bishop
Restarick Of Saint Andrews, who yes
terday said to a reporter for the Ad-
vertiser:
Some months ago the Right Rev.
Samuel T. Nevill. DID,, Bishop of
passed through here on his way to
England. He spent the day with me
and desired to ascertain my views as
to the formation of a new diocese In
! the Pacific.
When the first Bishop was sent to
| New Zealand in 1S41 the Letters Pa
tent issued him gave him spiritual
charge in English Territory from the
| 50th degree S. Lat. to the 34th degree
North This last however was Curl
Gus mistake as it was the intention to
| take gave him charge of IS deg. of
| latitude more than was intended to be
assigned to him. Bishop Selwyn took,
with amused gravity, the error and in
1s4S, in small yacht of 81 tons became
| the pioneer and apostle Of Melanesea.
Previous to this he had in 1S47 on H.
NJ. S. Dido visited Tonga and other is
lands.
Owing to this mistake in the Let
ters Patent the work of the church in
the Pacific, unless otherwise agreed
upon, has been considered as under the
Primate of New Zealand so that when
Bishop Willis went to Tonga in 1902
with the consent of the church author
tiles in England, the church in New
Zealand considered that the appoint
ment was irregular, was an intrusion,
in fact, in the province of New Zea-
tied. The church of England has work
in Fiji which islands have belonged to
Great Britain since 1874
1.-The idea of the Primate of New
Zealand is to take the three groups of
islands which lie at the three angles
of the triangle and form a diocese. AS
Bishop Willis is already in one of the
groups it is presumed that he would
be the first Bishop. The Primate told
me 1 was consulted because the last
general convention assigned to my care
the American islands in the Samoan
group 1 have not visited them because
we have no work there nor is there
any likelihood of our having work and
as the Primate of New Zealand had
ditions and there was no need for me
to go.
THE Primate was anxious to get the
American church to consent to the
placing of the islands under American
jurisdiction in Samoa in the proposed
new diocese and was anxious to know
what 1 thought. 1 told him I was
heartily in favor of it and should ad-
vocate it with the House of Bishops
if he carried out his plans in England.
Melanesea was made a diocese in 1861
secrated the first Bishop. He had
, worked in these islands for some years.
Bishop Pattison met a martyrs death
in 1873. The See of Melanesea is on
Norfolk Island and the diocese is in
the province of New Zealand.

4 Great Hay Country.

While looking for rabbit tracks
and trout trails along the Goose
berry, short distance north of
Two Harbors few days ago,
Attorney Poirier and ye scribe ran
onto hay meadow which would
make southern Minnesotan wou-
der: why he had wasted his lifetime
in a barren desert. The field in
question comprised some 10 or IL
acres adjoining deserted lumber
camp, and had evidently been
cleared and first sown several years
ago: It stood extremely heavy,
waa7 we'll headed. and the thrift of
it's growth may be figured from the
statement that a six-footer would
have to climb a stump to look over
the tops.
There are thousands upon thous-
ands of acres of similar soil laying
waste in Northern Minnesota today,
while the southern Minnesota
farmer casts longing eyes towards
the much advertised Canadian
Northwest and invests his earnings
in foreign lands at high prices.
Northern Minnesota has the land,
lots of it, but like the business man
who has the goods-will keep it un-
less an advertising campaign of
education is started, that others may
be iapprised of the natural advan.
tages of the section.

its Up to the Eveleth SPORTS,

Since the Cass Lake tournament,
in which one Harri took down the
money in the hundred yard dash,
the Eveleth sports guess that's
what they call themselves) have
been letting 60 of heap of hot air
over an alleged attempt to arrange
a race between Harri and Stewart
Smith, of this city.
Mr.. Harri, accompanied by a man
named Holm, was over from Eveleth
Sunday to see what arrangements
could be made, but when the
stipulation was made that it was to
be hundred yard dash after thirty.
days notice the Eveleth visitors got
cold feet; they were here for 220
yard go and wanted it run within
twenty-four hours. The original
proposition for hundred yard
dash is up to the Eveleth gang,
however, and while Mr.. Smith will
not put up any personal. purse on
the outcome the gang is cordially
invited to bring all the long green
and the yellow boys obtainable
with them, as all will be covered
with rapidity. +,
However, if the Eveleth runner
wants. TO 60 50 yards or 22o yards,
there are others in Virginia whom
we believe will accommodate him
and show. him dust for the entire
length of the trail. >a.< II -.

Gentlemen:
You will please take notice that

passed by you at your last regular
council meeting, for the following
reasons:
II. That there ought to have been
a time stated in such ordinance in
which the COWS might be allowed
to run at large within our city, that
the poor man with a small garden
on one side of the street ought to be
allowed the same privileges under
our city regulations that another
man on the opposite side of the
street with 2x4 lawn, a. part of
which is in the public highway, en-
joys without being molested.
"2. That the great majority of the
people in a municipality such as
Virginia ought to enjoy a few priv.
ileges as we'll as the minority enioy
protection"

do you like it?

ACTIVITY
IN REALTY
CIRCLES AT MUsKoGEE RESULTS
FROM THE PASSAGE OF THE
CURTIS BILL
DEAD CLAIMS ON The MARKET
But Will not be Handled Till
Courts Administer

Muskogee, /. T., April 2o-
Greet activity in real estate circles
followed the announcement here
that the Curtis bill had been signed
by the president. One real estate
man declared that the signing Of
the bill meant 100000 profits to
him within dav. This real estate
dealer holds deeds taken to lot Of
land before the restrictions were
removed. As the Curtis bill de-
clares such deeds legal, companies
holding the instruments are now
in clover.
The Curtis bill, while it shuts
off the sale IF fullblood land where
the alottees are living it throws on
the marketall land of dead alottees.
1t is estimated that one-fourth Of
the allotted land in Indian Territory
will come under this class. Real
estate men, however, do not expect
to handle much Of this inherited
land at present. as it is a very
difficult matter to locate all heirs,
unaccounted for when the land was
sold, coming up years later and
claiming share in the property.
1t is probable, therefore. that dead
claims will be administered upon
by the courts before the land buy
ers will purchash it. This will
make a large amount of business
for the courts.
The passage Of the bill. however
has done great deal for Indian
Territory, and will greatly stimu-
late business. Muskogee can, un-
der its provisions, force property
owners to build sidewalks and pave
the streets in front Of their pro-
perty. several water power com
panies will begin work a once on
the construction cf power plants
to furnish power 10 manufactries,
and there will be rapid growth
from now on in the industrial life
Of Indian Territory. Manv look
upon the passage Of the Curtis act
as the most important piece Of
legislation ever passed relative to
Iudian Territory.

RACE TROUBLE AT COMANCHE
Negro Dynamited. Officers .SteF
in and Take Hand

Saturday night an explosion oc-
Cured in Comanche that brought
out several Of our citizens to see
what was ltne matter, whether it
was full grown earthquake or the
crack of doom.
The night watch and several cit
izens made the rounds of the banks
and post-ofice, thinking perhaps
burglars were at work, but they
found everything safe and sound.
Capt. Brown, of the Bank Of
Comanche, was telephoned for, and
came down to see if the bank vaults
were still intact, Everything was
found to be all right, and the crowd
dispersed wondering what and
where II was.
Sunday morning it was learned
that some person or persons had
exploded some dynamite in close
proximity to the residence Of some
negros, who are employed by R. w.
King. They failed to get the dy-
Mantle under the house and no
damage was done, save the blowing
of good sized hole in the ground.
We are told that this negro had
been told to leave town, and did
not act on the warning.
AS an echo Of the negro dyna-
miting Deputies Lilly and
Smith came up from Ryan Wed

citizens and carried them the Com

placed under So, 900 bond for their
appearance Monday.
