Legislation for the better protection
of agricultural and live stock interests
is of paramount interest in the north
western states. In Iowa, in Nebraska
and in South Dakota legislation is be-
ing proposed to safeguard the live
stock industry. In South Dakota the
Improved Live Stock Breeders associa-
ton has recommended a bill to the leg
islature requiring that all cattle ship
ped into the state for breeding or dairy
purposes shall be tested for tuberculosis
gefore being permitted to enter South
Dakota has been behind in legislation of
this nature and it is hopeful sign when
all the great states of the northwest join
in uniform legislation of vital benefit to
the producers.

SCHOOL lands
COMMISSIONER HEGGE OF THE
LAND DEPARTMENT MAKES
DETAILED REPORT.
RECOMMENDS MANY CHANGES IN
LAWS AND THINKS IeAS'N1
LAWS SHOULD BE REVISED
FARM LOANS HAVE Been FOUND
TO BE UNSATISFACTORY BY
THE DEPARTMENT.

One of the most interesting of the
state reports is that of the commits
sioner of university and school lands
which has just been received from
the printer. Commissioner Hegge
gives a large amount of information
relative to the public lands Of the
state and makes number of recon-
mendations as to needed legislation
and systems for the detail work Of the
department.
The opening up by constitutional
amendment of new avenues of invest
ment for the school funds has been
the means OF letting out the money
rapidly and reducing the funds on
hand very materially, but the contem'
plated sales of lands and the receipt
of the deferred payments on past
sales are expected to create a large
fund for investment within the next
year or two.
In speaking of the result of the en-
actment of the provisions of the law,
authorizing the investment Of the
funds in farm loans, Commissioner
Hegge states that during the first
eight months following its enactment
applications for farm loans aggregat.
ing about 100000 were made to the
department and most of them accept
ed.
While farm loans have been one Of
the chief sources of investment dur
ing the time mentioned they have
been most unsatisfactory in many re-
spects. One of the greatest annoy
ances being the unavoidable delays in
the negotiation of such loans and the
final payment Of the money to the
borrower. In some cases it has been
several months from the time the ap-
pncation is made before the borrower
has been able to realize on the loan
These delays often times cannot be
charged to the department or salts
factorily explained to the applicant
and he consequently becomes abusive
and sometimes blames the depart
ment and charges the loan Is being
held up in the interests of the banks
or for some other imaginary reason.
Some Of the reasons for the delays are
as follows:
First: The unsatisfactory system
of appraisal by which the state must
depend on the county appraisal boards
without representative present who
shall be directly under the supervi.
sion of the state land department.
Second: The absence Of legal au.
thority on the part OF the state to pay
of existing loans in the negotiation of
new loans.
Third: The uncertainty as to what

ing in the south and in the Pacific coast
states are writing very entertaining let
tiers to their home papers. They are
keen observers and give vital facts on
the localities as they find them.
The Grand Forks party, with the ex-
ception of Mrs. Mooney and Mr.. and
Mrs. Murphy, survivors of the Repub-
lie disaster. have set sail on the Adrl-
attic. The party lost all of their bag
gage at sea, but have got together new
wardrobes.
Grand Forks county has entered into
contract with its sheriff to collect
all of the delinquent personal taxes
and the county auditor there will help
the deal along by publishing the names
of all the delinquents.
H. D. Mack, the last Democratic can
didate for lieutenant governor, has
moved from LaMoure to Dickey where
he assumes active management of ma
chinery business in which he has been
partner during his term of office as
county superintendent.
The Denhoff Voice has installed a
new gasoline engine, cylinder press,
and new line of type. Now, if Ed.
x. Moore can pull the permanent coun-
ty sea tot Sheridan county to his town
he will be right in clover.
There appears to be something of an
upheaval among the weekly papers OF
the state against Ployhar's bill that
would abolish the publication Of insur-
ance statements. While many Of the
papers don't get any statements to pub
lish, they do not believe that there is
any reason why the other naners should
not have them.

Commissioner Hegge calls attention.
to the fact that in some Dortinos OF
the state, the question OF drainage Is
becoming topic for consideration
and there should be means provided
the cooperation of the state could
be had with the county drainage
boards, in order that state lands ef-
fected by drains and bitches might
be assessed for its. proportionate
share of the cost.
Commissioner Hegge also recon-
mends the amendment Of the laws so
as to provide for personal examine
ton Of all state lands subject to lease
and the repeal Of the hay permit
law. He believes that the laws gov
erning the leasing of school lands
should be revised during the present
session and would gladly help in the
framing Of adequate measures to cure
some Of the defects which exist.

The Public Pays the Freight.

uses up more than half of the entire

through your landlord or direct to
your builder; then add the item for
shingles and laths, which amounts in
the aggregate to some $30,000,000 q
year; is it dimcult to see why, with
an average increase of 20 to so per
