ing circulated all over the county:
To the Honorable Board of County

ton and pray your honorable body
that you do allow and pay bounty Of
two cents on each and every tail
presented to you for gophers killed in

with having Mr.. Nash for his antago-
mist Nash saw with concern his lord
ships foible and undertook to cure
hip though by very disugreeable
remedy. Conscious Of his own supe-
rior skill, he determined to engage
him in single play for very consider
able sum. His lordship In proportion
as he lost his game lost his temper,
too, and US he approached the gulf
seemed still more eager for ruin. he
lost his estate. Some writings were
put into the winners possession. His
very equipage was offered as a last
stake, and he lost that also, but when
our generous gamester had found his
lordship sufficiently punished for his
temerity he returned all, only stipulat-
ing that he should be paid $1,000
whenever he should think proper to
make the demand. However, he never
made any such demand during his
lordship's lifetime, but some time aft
er his decease. Mr.. Nash's affairs being
in (sic) the wane, he demanded the
money Of his lordship's heirs, who
honorably paid it without any hesita-

CONDITIONS ARE GOOD

Washington, D. c., Feb. 1.-Severe
freezing temperature and killing
frosts occurred today in northern, cen.

dictions Of the weather bureau are
that it will be warmer in the Gulf
states tomorrow.
Throughout the Atlantic states and
Ohio valley it will be warmer tomor-
row but colder in the northern upper
lake region. Except in New England
and along the coast the temperatures
over the country generally have ris-
en-, while in the west they are quite
high for the season.
Moderate temperatures, it is pre-
decited, will prevail Wednesday. Fair
weather is promised for the next two
or three days, except in the Pacific
coast states. and along the west Gulf
coast. Storm warnings are displayed
on the Pacific coast from Point Lobos
to Marshfeld.

congressman Marshall and Gronna
insist that the only equitable adjust
ment of the situation is to give the

Report Of Committee.
The report of the committee is in
substance as follows:
ANY person who has made home
stead entry in good faith upon land
which has since been classified as coal
land, shall be allowed to secure a pat
ent to the land, the United States re-
serving all coal, and the right to pros
pect for coal.
"The government may dispose of the
coal, but the purchasers must pay
proper damages to the owners of the
land.
"The homesteader shall have full
right to hearing to determine whether
the land is chiefly valuable for coal, and
if it is not, he shall have right to a
full patent to the land The provision
chiefly valuable for coal will, it is be-
lieved, result in the rewarding of at
least 80 or IS per cent of the claims to
the homesteaders, as little of the lig-
mite coal has any commercial value"
The position of the homesteader is
made hard, however, by the fact that
each individual claim will have to be
contested with considerable expense.
Commissioner Bennett of the general
land office stated that the policy of the
department has been to give every pos
sible advantage to the bona fde home
steader upon agricultural lands, but he
admitted the department would be pow
erless to patent any of the lands to the
without full hearing of
each case.

Names Of Flowers,

It is interesting to know how Ger
tain flowers get their names. Many
were named after individuals. For
instance, fuchsias were so called be-
cause they were discovered by Leo
nard Fuchs. Dahlias were named for
Andre Dahl, who brought them from
Peru. The cnmellia was 80 called for
missionary named Kamel, who
brought some magnificent specimens
Of the flower to France from Japan.
He called it the rose Of Japan, but his
friends changed it to camellia. Mag
nolias were named in honor Of Pro-
lessor Magnolt de Montpelier. who
first brought the beautiful tree to
France from America and Asia. Be-
cause it trembled with the wind is
the meaning Of anemone. The Latin
word to wash is lavare, and lavender
received its name because the Romans
put the flowers into water when they
washed to perfume their hands.-New

j. S, TO retain
Settlers COAL
Public Lands Committee VIII
faVorabIy Report Dual
Title Bill
Congressman Grohna and
Marshall Oppose the Bill
on Minority Report

Washington, Feb. 1.-The house
committee on public lands decided to
recommend for passage North Dakota
coal land bill which will reserve to the
government the title to all coal found
on lands which have been homestead
ed, and to which patents may hereafter
be issued.
Congressman Gronna stated that he
would bring in a minority report, and
ii is understood Congressman Ham
mond of Minnesota may join him in
this report, recommending either that
the settlers be given full title to the
. land and all it contains, or else that
the governments right to the coal de-
post shall be limited TO FIVE years IT
ten years.
Congressman Marshall appeared te-
fore the committee to protest against
ans bill which did not give to the set
tiers a full and unqualified title to the
land Mr. Gronna, as member of the
committee, made final stand upon the
same principle.
Amendment Voted Down.
Mr.. Gronna submitted a number of
amendments, but they were all voted
down.
His first amendment provides for CIV
ing the settler full title to the land, the
second amendment provided that where
the government reserves the coal rights
on the lands it must exercise such rights
within FIVE years.
Both of these were voted down, as
were subsequent amendments to force
the government to exercise its right
within ten years, and to give the settler
upon the land the preference in the sale
Of coal upon his, homestead.
i: The two North Dakota congressman
will undoubtedly have some substantial
backing in the house if they fight for
the full title for the settlers.
The action of the committee is not
antagonistic to the North Dakota home
steaders however The committee has
gone as far as it is believed it could
go in the face of the land departments
Recommendations and the possibilities
Iof misleading which might be opened
up through the passage of a law dispos-
ing Of the Ignite coal deposits to set
tiers without compensation to the gov
ernmen. -
0 The thousands Of homesteaders who
have settled in the "Slope country"
one Of the richest agricultural sections
Of North Dakota, will lose their land
completely when coal is found upon It,
unless 4 law similar to that recon-
mended BY the committee is passed.
The position taken BY the committee
is that they have given to the settler
everything possible, and that he will ]
now lose only The actual possession of ]
Tie coal which IS found upon his land
