No More S1.25 Lands.

In a recent decision by the Hon.
orable Secretary of the Interior
mot yet published in land Office
decisions) it is held that lands Of
fered for sale as isolated or dis
connected tracts-fraction of sec
tions around which all public land
has been filed on under the public
land laws-cannot hereafter be
sold for less than $3.50 per acre
within the Northern Pacific rail.
road limits double minimum land
Heretofore the minimum price
has always been an open question
with no official or authoritative de-
cision. As a rule these isolate,1
tracts have been sold at auction al
a much higher price than $3.50 but
in some cases, thorough combina-
ton of buyers or otherwise, the
the price has been kept down tc
the minimum of $1.25. However
homesteaders and speculators and
land hunters will be glad to pay
$3.50 per acre and over.

The members Of the board are
each strong, capable business men
who show an ernest intention tc

Launsberry viii Return.

The friends of Col. G.. A. Louns-
berry will be pleased to know that
he will spend the summer in Nor
Ith Dakota after an absence OF
nearly two years during which he
has been in charge Of one of the
departments OF the general land
Offices at Washington.
The colonel has been detailed by
direction Of Secretary of, the In
TERROR Garfield for special duty in
North Dakota in the examination
of land entries. It is expected he
will reach the state within a week
or ten days.
Colonel Lousberry has had fif-
teen years experience in this work
and after his work in the general
hndoffice, returns to Moth Dako-
ia better equipped than ever for
his duties:
The colonel always pursued a
line Of policy in his examination
of entries in the state to assist the
honest homesteader in adjusting
his difficulties rather than creating
additional trouble. The dishonest
entrymen, who made little or NO
pretense at complying with the
land laws, were exposed, of course
and their causes resorted to the
department.

Hellstrom to Succeed Boucher.

From reliable sources it has been
learned that when the new state
penitentiary board holds its first
meeting at Bismarck, next We'd
nesday, N. O. Hellstrom Of this
city will be chosen to succeed N.
F. Boucher as warden of the state
penitentiary At the same time
Thomas Gray of Grand Forks will
be made deputy warden.
For sometime it has been known
that a new warden for the big
prison would be elected by the new
democratic board and there have
been various rumors regarding who
it would be. Treadwell Twichell
having been mentioned among
others for the place. 1t seems
certain now that Hellstrom is the
man, though when seen this morn
ing he refused to either confirm or
deny the rumor.
While Mr.. Hellstrom has never
before held any public office he is
one of the most prominent demo-
Gratis in this part of the state. In
the campain of 1896 he stumped
the northern part Of the state in
behalf Of Bryan and in the cam
pain last fall ne was state COM
mitteeman from Cass county, and
made several speeches in Foster
and Griggs counties.
It is understood that G.. w.
Wilkinson, who has been the
travelling representative of the
Northwest Thresher Co. in the
southern part of the state, will sue
ceed Mr.. Hellstrom as manager of
the company's North Dakota ter
ritory.-Forum.

Charles A. White Dead.

Charles A. White, was born at
Muskegan, Michigan Feb. 10, 1870.
Died April 29th. 1907. He leaves
a wife and two children living
near Washburn, and an aged
father and mother, two sisters and
one brother living at Muskegan,
Mich, to mourn the loss Of a
loving husband and father, a duti-
full son, and an affectionate broth
er. The cause of his death was
from the effect of inhailing smoke
and fire from a prairie fire he was
helping to to fight on the 23d of
April, 1907. and had not been we'll
since. His wife had been and got
medicine for him and as it had no
effect on him he thot he would go
and see the doctor, he had
gone about five miles and fell out
of the buggy just in front of Mr..
Wiese house, Mr.. Wiese seen him
fall and went to him, he never
spoke, was unconscious and never
rallied, and lived about ten
minutes after they got him in the
house. His remains were taken to
his wife's fathers Mr.. w. L. Pope
and funeral services were held
there at ten o'clock May. 1. His
remains were laid to rest in the
Svedrup cemetery followed by a
large concours of friends. The
funeral sermon was preached by
Rev. Ehlers of the M. E. Church

Irrigation Project Withdrawn.

BY executive order Of January
20, 1905, large quantity of land
was withdrawn from entry in the
vicinity Of Bismarck in connection
with what was known as the CHS
marck irrigation project In
1906 considerable portion of this
reservation was restored for settle
ment under the public land laws as
not being required for the irriga-
tion proposition.
The citizens of Bismarck and
vicinity not having warmed up to
the irrigation proposition and not
having organized under the irriga-
ton act, a large portion Of what
was left has now has been restored
and unless some action is taken in
the near future it is likely the
Bismarck project will be entirely
abandoned. which is greatly to be
regretted, as undoubtedly the
carrying forward Of this project
would result in the establishment
of million dollar beet sugar plant
similar to the one at Billings and
add hundreds of small truck
farmers to our population.
The area now left in the Bis
marck project comprises the land
along Apple creek south and east
of Bismarck and the bottom lands
along the Missouri river south Of
Bismarck-by descriptions, sect
tions 81 to 36, township l39, range
so; all Of township 1880, south
Of Bismarck on the. east side Of
the river, which includes all ex7
cept sections 30, 81 and 80; and
sections 6, Z, Is, -, 30 and 81,
