applicable only where there is scar

and the term merely indicates a method
that has been worked out for the con-
| servation and proper distribution OF
moisture.

SETTLERS ANXIOUS FOR LAND
Paying Much Higher Prices Now Than
Offered at The last Sales,

jamestown, N. D., Feb. Z. - Land
Commissioner Mcdonald returned to
Bismarck today from a trip to Foster
and Eddy counties, :. here he conduct
ed land sales. The sales aggregated
about 100000. which will still further
swell the school fund of the state. The
prices Of land ran all the way from
the minimum of $40 an acre to as high
as $3S per acre, the greatest part sell
ling at from SIS to $50 an acre.
AS showing the rapid advance In
land, it can be stated that = most Of
the lands offered at this last sale
were offered at the last previous sale
and went without buyers. The farm
ers are now anxious to get more land
and very little was left unsold.
The same condition prevails in other
parts of the state. Lands that were
left unsold at the last sales are snap
ped up eagerly at largely increased
prices now, and 1t has been only two
or three years in some cases since the
same land would not bring their APP
praised value at an auction sale.

washington. d. c., Feb. david
Hage of Detroit, MINI, has written the
Indian Office, protesting against the
order to close all the saloons at De-
troit except four under the provisions
of the law authorizing the Indian
commissioner to regulate saloons in
Indian reservations.
Mr. Hage argued that it was unjust
discrimination to pick out certain sa-
looms that might continue to operate
and order all others closed.
In his reply Commissioner Valentine
stated that the saloons excepted were
ones against which fewest complaints
had been made and that after a trial,
if. it was found that they were not
complying strictly with the law they
could be closed.
