The Way MutiIated Bills Are Redeem
cd by Uncle Sam.
In the hands of John Doe or
Richard Roe any mutilated note of
legal tender in the United States is
redeemable at its face value, pro-
vided a clear three-ffths of its phys
ical surface be presented at the re-
demption window of the United
States treasury department.
Doe or Roe may have to submit
to little questioning, perhaps, as
to how he got it or how the accident
happened looping off that other two
fifths. But if he doesn't stammer
and choke or attempt a clean cut
for it he'll get the full value of the
mutilated bill.
By inference, then, neither Doe
nor Roe may expect anything doing
if he shall present less than the pre-
scribed three-fifths of the piece of
currency. But the national govern
ment, still literally disposed toward
Roe and Doe, will accept fragment
that may be less than three-fifths,
but clearly more than two-ffths of
the original note, paying just half
the value of the original bill, how
ever, as penalty for the accident.
In the case of James Brown
Smith, Esq, known and respected
in his home city, he may recover the
full value of his note that is under
two-flfths measure provided that he
will appear before an officer of the
law qualified to administer oaths
and make affidavit as to time, man
ner and place in which the mutila-
ton was accomplished. This aft
davit will be attested by the official
seal of the officer, who also must be
prepared to attest in like manner
the good character of the affiant.
Except in the above instances insult
ficient portions of a note or notes
are returned to the person present
ing them for redemption. Paper
currency which has been destroyed
totally is not redeemable under any
circumstances.
Beware of torn currency in gen.
eral. A bank ought not to pay it out
to you for the reason that the gov
eminent is so willing to exchange
new currency for it. And if you
have torn it accidentally yourself
you ought to save the pieces and 60

Grace l.. Gearing, as Helma, SER

and Elba A. Buchanan, as Bigbee, an

The comedy itself was one of the
best ever put on here and through
rehearsal made very smooth per-

CENSUS QUESTIONS THAT
FARMERS MUST ANSWER

An outline for the American farmer
of the method Of keeping a written
record of his farm operations and
equipment to insure an accurate farm
census next year has been issued by
United States Census Director Z. Dana

Grand Powers, United States census
chief statistician for agriculture. 1t
states:
The advantages of always having
on hand for ready reference a detailed
! written statement Of ones farm prop
eTty are readily understood by every
one and will be most keenly appre-
ciated when the census enumeration
calls with his list of questions next
April The value of the census fig-
ures of farm wealth depends upon
their accuracy, and accuracy can only
be secured through the cooperation
OF the farmers themselves. In no way
can the farmer extend more practical
assistance to the census bureau, and in
no way can he render himself a great
er service than by getting out his
pencil and note book on the evening
of April the fourteenth next and max
ing up q statement of his farm prop
eTty. The questions to be asked con-
corning farm property are as follows:
l. Total value of farm, with all
buildings and improvements.
=. Value of buildings.
3. Value of all implements and ma

riages, harnesses, etc, and all appli-

A .GEA1UATED PRAIRIE FOLIO, !.

Washington, Oct. GA new folio
ono. 1889 in the Geological Atlas OF
the United States has Just, been pub
lished by tho United States Geoiogi-
cal survey, .the%author being Daniel
d. Willard. The sarea covered is
known as the Jamestown Tower dis
tr1ct and lies in the Southeastern
part Of North Dakota, between merid-
1ans 81 minutes 80, seconds and 81
minutes west longitude and parallels
as minutes 80. seconds and Al min
utes north latitude, the total area
being about .2,460 square miles.
The principal towns are Jamestown,
Valley City, and Tower, named In
order of size. All three are on the
line of the Northern Pacific Railway.
A Glaciated Prairie Region
This district in the Great Plains
providence, It's surface being gent
ly undulattng plain, in places nearly
fiat, that lies at elevations of about
1000 to 1900 feet above sea level.
The greater part Of the area. has
no surface drainage whatever, the
precipitation being absorbed or evap-
Grated. The continental watershed
between the Hudson Bay drainage
basin and that OF the Gulf of Mexico
crosses the area. The undrained
character of the glaciated prairdes
and the delicate balance between the
drainage systems that do exist are
we'll illustrated by this divide. Al:
though Cheyenne and James rivers,
the two principal streams Of this area
flow in nearly parallelled courses for
$50 miles and the relief of the land
between their. valleys are generally
not more than 20 feet, the Cheyenne
ultimately discharges Into Hudson
Bay and the James into the Gulf;
The drama &c area Of the Cheyenne
covers about 10000 square miles,
yet the volume Of water discharged
into Red river Ia estimated to be less
than that which flows through Valley
City, nearly $50 miles upstream.
The loss is due to evaporation and
absorption as the stream meanders
sluggishly over its valley.

Water Resources. .....
The most important resource of
this area is underground water. The
surface water Is in general either
unfit for domestic use or too scant IN
amount, but underground water IL
abundant and is reached by many
wells Of different types. Shallow dug
wells from to "a feet deep have
been put down In most portions of
the district and yield water in ample
amount but of varying quality-in
some places unusually pure, in others
very Inferior. Tubular wells from 40
to $50 feet deep form one of the priu;
cipal sources Of water supply. They
derive their water from rain that
penetrates the earth at some distance
away and In some Of them the water
rises above the surface. -. These wells
yields water that is usually palatable
and wholesome. Many wells ranging
IN depth from 500 to 1870 feet have
been sunk to-; the Dakota sandstone
and nearly all obtained a flow of 20
to 800 gallons a minute. Most of
this water Is slightly salty, but In
general 1t. is suitable for domestic
land farm purposes. .-~ .--- --. ....
Maps Of the District.
This folio. contains nine maps
showing the Typography and geology
Of the district and the depths to the
Dakota sandstone in all parts Of it.
The folio is sold by the Geological
Survey for Is cents, the cost Of paper
and printing, and may be obtained
by remitting that amount to the Di.
rector Of the Survey at Washington.
