BEES ARE BUSY.
Spring Like Weather in Mid Winter
Sends Them Scurryng for Honey.


The exceedingly unusual sight of
bees flying about in mid-Winter in
search of nectar bearing blossoms is
one of the peculiar incidents of the
present very mild winter weather
At the home of George n. Beebe. IA
North Second street. many bees are
kept, and an experiment was tried
this winter of wintering the bees out
of doors in hives especially made for
the purpose.
The past few days of abnormally
high temperature has caused the bees
to become active, and has sent them
out in the search Of blossoms. Any of
these warm days they may be seen
flying in all directions. The sight is
an exceedingly rare one for this la'i-
tude, for bees to be abroad in the mid
die of the winter.

that the minimum selling price OF
state school lands be increased from
$40 an acre to $50, and gave the aver
age selling price OF $2e.S5 IN acre
from 1903 to 1906 as evidence to gus
tain his position. The sales this year
more than bear out that contention, as
the average selling price was 1886 on
the 1850 acres sold. the average hav-
ing risen from 1885 up to 1894. II
the remaining public school lands OF
the state were disposed Of at $40 an

over $4,000. 900.

acre: Brown with $s5 as high and $40
as low. an average OF s47.23; Dawson

$41.25; Hamilton at from $55 to $35.
with an average OF $42.43; Hanson at

$3.50; Hutchinson at from $50 to $40,
with an average OF $44.46; Kingsbury
at from $40 to $35, with an average OF
$50; Lake at from $50 to $42.50. with
an average of $46.50; Miner at from
$50 to $35. with an average of $42-25;
Turner at from $50 to $35, with an av-
erage Of $41.S5. The total amount dis
posed OF being 1850 acres at total of
$341.658. a general average OF s43.66
an acre. On this the state received
$I0,993 interest In advance which goes
into the fund for distribution to the
schools In June.
For the same sale on endowment
lands they sold in Edmunds at from
81 to SIS. with an average OF 1921;
at from SIT to $40. with an
average Of $13.54; Marshall at from
