OFFICE Will BE
CLOSED TODAY
OFFICE OF. SURVEYOR GENERAL
WILL BE CLOSED TODAY AND
THE RECORDS HAVE BEEN
TURNED OVER TO THE AR.
4 cHiVES OF THE STATE. /.

The matters pertaining to the af
fairs of the office of surveyor gen
eral have been closed up and the Of
flee will be officially discontinued to-
day.
General 3. A. Williams of this city
has officiated in that capacity ever
since statehood, except during the
Cleveland administration, and has &C.
Quilted himself with credit, so much
SO that his numerous friends here
and everywhere over the state regret
that the time has come when he must
step down and out from such an en-.
viable position
About a year ago the department OF
the interior recommended that as the
surveyor generals office had so near.
ly completed the survey of govern.
ment lands in this state that the Of
ice be discontinued, and for the sake
OF preserving the valuable records
pertaining to the office General VIII.
Jams encouraged during the last ses.
sion Of the legislature the passage OF
such bill that would transfer the
records to the custody of the secre.
tary of state.
The bill became a law, and when
the recent session of congress failed
to make provision that provide for
the further maintenance of this Of
flee, an order was issued by the gov.
ernmental department decreeing that
the office be closed and vacated, and
the records turned over to the state.
This has been done, the furniture
disposed of and the records taken to
the capitol building Tuesday, and
have been placed in the office of the
state engineer under the Jurisdiction
OF the secretary Of state until reg.
ular place can be provided for with
ample vault room, with a competent
man placed in charge by Secretary
BlaisdelI.
General Williams greatly regrets
that the delegation at Washington
was unable to save this office for the
state, not because he was the official
in charge, but because there is still
considerable work for this office to
accomplish, so much SO that some
4 & Z Be- Z, rE e. Z
provision should have been made to
have continued the office whether he
was in charge or some other worthy
citizen.

This Will Be a Great
Thing for Your
Boy

At Culver Indiana, on Lake Maxim.
kuckee, Is located one Of the most
interesting summer schools in ex.
istence. 1t is. in fact, the only Inland
Naval School in the world. On July
7th boys from more than one,half Of
the States in the Union, and from sew.
eral of the foreign countries, will as.
semble there and spend the summer
in manning oars and halyards and &C.
quiring the physical training, alert.
ness anr discipline so important to a
youngster in his teens; nor do these
boys sacrifice any OF the fun OF their
vacation. The youngster lolling
around at home has no idea of the
wealth OF healthful fun and real rec.
reation that the Culver Summer Ma
val School cadet gets out Of his
eight weeks course.
It would be a great thing for your
boy to give him summer at Culver.
There lis more in it than fun. It il
not merely q substitute for the idle
summerit is not simply to keep him
from picking up bad habits that at.
tach themselves to a boy who is loaf
ing, like filings to a magnet--it is
more than that.
The most important stage Of a
boys development is from IA to IS.
The Influences to which he is subject
led during this period often determine
his success or failure in life. The
Culver Summer Naval School makes a
specially OF giving boy the things
ne needs ait this critical stage things
that a regular school session does not
provide. The training and discipline
of a naval course give him the power
of self-restraint strengthen his char.
acter, give him respect for authority,
teach him thoroughness, how to do
things well and promptly, as they
should be done, and when they should
be DONE
He also has at Culver an opportun-
ity to make up any study in which he
may be behind, so that he may begin
work next fall without a handicap,
or he may take up some new study.
There are many interesting courses
outlined in the catalogue. He is taught
to swim and dance, to handle boat,
Ito shoot, etc. He5is thrown with rep.
Ireseptative boys from every part Of
the United States. (This, in itself,
is q valuable thing for him.
Another feature this summer will
be a weeks cruise on the Great Lakes
on the splendid S. s. Northwest.
Gould anything offer better possibili-
ties to the wide-awake lot Of Ameri-
can boys for not only having a good
time, but for acquiring valuable In.
formation about one Of the most inter.
esting parts Of this great country Of
ours
There is a big wheat crop in sight.
II you are to profit by 1t, let the boy
do SO. too, even If you need him badly
at home. Give him this opportunity
now. Opportunities thrown away have

Of its builder at Thames, New Yea

made they were put together until
the structure loomed 65 feet above
the ground. It was then taken down
and the plates and framework num-
sbered for shipment. a picture of the

what OF the Senatorial FIGHT

what or the senatorial Flight.
Valley City Patriot: While Tom
Marshall is high man on the primary
ballot he is yet a long ways from
the United states sehstolMfa1 toga.
1t would perhaps have been much
better for him had Hansbrough
or Little reached second place in
stead of Johnson; for the reason that
both being Insurgent. they will still
be pitted against each other In the
fall election, when they must reckon
with the Stalwart vote, represented
by Little and Hansbrough. 4, If the
Johnson vote is stable quantity
which it likely is-and cannot be
shattered and dissipated, then it is
in the power of the Stalwarts to de-
feat Marshall by voting for Johnson.
The Little Stalwarts owe nothing to
Marshall, who may be regarded as
representing the most radical ele-
ment of the Insurgent faction, while
Johnson would seem to be the more
preferable of the Stalwarts on ac-
count of his conservatism. So far as
the Hansbrough Stalwarts are con-
cerned, they are certainly under no
obligations to Marshall for Quitting
in" From now on the senatorial
fight is between the Insurgents alone,
with the Stalwarts as amused spec
tators, with the power to keep the
upper dog from worrying the under
dog too much.

Fields or WHEAT.
Companion Poem to Mrs. Allerton's
walls of Corn.') -

How eagerly the farmers greet
The fields and fields of moving wheat.
Lying SO green, all gemmed with dew,
What are the tales they tell to you
Once where the fields OF green wheat
grow y
Sounded the tread of the buffalo.
Indians roamed DER the treeless
plain,
Naught was known of the waving
grain.
Then in the great Creators plan
Sounded the onward march of man.
Good earth yielded her bosom bare
To disc and harrow and ploughshare.
When wheat sprung forth to make
the bread
With which the multitude is fed.
Strength and warmth and clothes and
food,
These they give to the multitude.
Toll on, farmers! for calloused hands,
CT yaElr. y g
Lo! bountiful harvest stands!
Then hail! all hail! to the fields Of
wheat!
Which eargerly the farmers greet.
Lying SO green, all gemmed with dew,
Those are the tales they tell to you.

NOMINATION OF u. S. SENATOR.

NOMINATION OF U. S. SENATOR.
A provision of the primary law
not generally understood, is that in
relation to the selection of party
nominee for United States senator in
case no candidate receives forty per
cent of the votes at the June cleo
ton. Of course it is understood
that everyone is Informed that the
primary law, so far as it relates ia
United States senators, is only adj
visory. The statutes of the United
States provide for the election OF
United States senator's by the legis-
latures in the various states. How.
ever, it is not likely that in the face
of the declarations made in securing
the nomination that legislators will
violate their obligations. The pri-
mary law provides:
In case no candidate receives
Z forty per cent Of all the votes Of
his party cast for the Office Of
United States senator, then the
two candidates Of each party who
receives the highest number Of
votes cast at such primary cleo
ton, shall be placed upon sep
arate ballot to be voted for at
the general election following.
This provision of having a separ-
ate ballot will, in measure, MIN.
inize the embarrassment Of party
strife at the November election, and
it is well II such may be the case
There will be strong enemy, ma
tfonal and state, this fall and the Re
publican who underestimates the
strength and resources of the oppo.
sition is not a wise man. It is to
be regretted that one of the -four
candidates for United States sena.
tor did not receive the required for
ty per cent to place him in line as
the party's nominee, for while the
attempt may be made on the part
of the candidates on the state ticket
to flag around the senatorial propo.
sition it is likely to bob up here and
there to annoy and complicate mat.

Desert Plants,

The object is to check the transferation of moisture by offering as small surface as pos sible to the dry air. For the same req son the roots of desert plants usually run deep into tue soil so that they can suck up all the available moisture. In some instances the leaves assume vertical position and thus avoid the direct rays of the burning desert sun. On the other hand the leaves of trees in very wet countries are provided with points-~such as the maple--from which the rain drops of.
