who is at the Raleigh. after an extensive
tour of Scotland. said last night that a
curious custom prevails at an Edinburgh
hotel
Whenever a customer Is heard 10
swear he is required to place a penny
in box on the bar counter. 1t is not
matter for surprise that the landlord
hears much less bad language than some
of his fellow-publicans in the capital
OF Scotland. 1t would be good idea TO
adopt this custom IN some of your hotels
in this city. I know of a quaint idea
for providing funds for picnics and social
evenings that is practiced at one OF these
Scotch inns. knocking club IS con-
nected with the inn, and when a Gus
toner calls for refreshments he is ex-
pected to knock on the table before
drinking. If he fails to do so he Is
fined one penny. Any one who wrong
fully accuses another OF breaking this
unique rule is also fined The money
thus obtained provides funds for many
enjoyable meetings and pleasant even
ings in a year.

known as the Old Hundred a Gus

Is not sufficient TO quench his thirst he
Is obliged 10 go out OF the hotel and

Then after going into more detailed
consideration Of the subject, spoke
of the changes in church life within

claimed that the selection of Bismarck
as the headquarters for the new dis.

selection of this city as see city

bishop and others that must come

Attorney General Miller was re-
Gently requested by the state board
of school and university lands for an
opinion on the following question:
Can the board Of school and
university lands of this state law
fully lease any part of the coal
bearing lands Of this state for
coal mining purposes?
The reply Of the attorney general
is to the effect that the coal lands
of the state cannot be leased for the
purpose set forth in the question,
and he takes the stand that all leases
made by virtue of chapter 176, laws
of 1903, are void. After discussing
the law in the matter and going into
the technical portions of the case,
Mr.. Miller says it is apparent that
the chapter 176 Of the laws of 1903
Is unconstitutional and void because
it is in conflict with section 161 of
tu0 COuSlILULlOu, III SuC lOEiO"A 6
manner:
"First, it provides for the leasing
Of the land for suoh period of time as
the state board Of school and uni
versity lands may determine, where
as section 161 Of the constitution,
limits the time for which a law shall
authorize the lease Of said lands to
a period Of five years.
Second, chapter IT'S, laws OF 1903,
authorizes the leasing of said lands
for mining purposes, whereas section
161 of the constitution limits the pur.
poses for which said lands may be
leased to pasturage and meadow pur-
poses.
Third, chapter 176 provides that the
rental for such lands shall, in case
the rented premises are mined within
Bismarck daily tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, Dakota [N.D.]) 1881-1916, 1910-02-05

one year after the execution Of the
lease, be based upon tonnage of 500
per ton mined, and authorized by the
board to make rules in respect to the
manner and time OF payment of such
rental, whereas, section ISL Of the
constitution provides that all rents
must be paid in advance.
I'm view of the constitutional pro-
visions named, am Of the opinion
that chapter 176 of the laws of 1903,
insofar as it seeks to authorize the
leasing of coal bearing lands of the
state by the state board of school
and university lands, is unconstitu-
tional and void, and that all leases
heretofore made and executed by the
stod board by virtue of the provis.
ions Of said chapter 176 are without
authority of law and void, and, con.
sequently, your board has no power
or authority to now. or in the future.
lease any Of the coal bearing lands
Of the state for coal mining purposes"
AT the present time there are 81
leases in existance aggregating 1920
acres, and divided among the western
counties Of the state as follows:
Adams, 5, with $50 acres.
Billings 2, with 80 acres.
Bowman 3, with $50 acres.
HIettinger 10, with $40 acres.
Mercer 6, with 24O acres.
Mclean 4, with 100 acres.
Mckenzie 2, with 80 acres.
Ward 4, with 40 acres.
Mountaril 4, with $50 acres.
Williams 10, with 76O acres.
Morton 9, with $50 acres.
According to the ruling Of the at
torney general all the above leases
are void and unconstitutional.

there is not a desire to use the main

There was a very large audience
present, more than could be seated,
and the exercises were verey pleas
ant
First, was music by Peck's orches-
ira, which is to say, that the musical
part Of the program was par excellent.
This was followed by solo render
ed by MRS. Larson. After this Rev.
Magin, the pastor of the church,
welcomed all and stated something
of the history Of the completion of
this part Of the building and stated
that the main object was to make the
social life Of the congregation more
enjoyable and to enable the people
to come together and to know each
other, as could not be gotten any 9TH
er way, and that while everything
possible for u2building Of the social
Life would be done. that the moral
and intellectual side would not be
forgotten, and that while there would
be aectQres, entertainments and
kindred forms of entertainment, that
it was to be distinctly understood
that while these might cost money
that the commercial part was to be
eliminated and that very rarely, in
deed, would 4 collection be taken or
charges OF any kind encouraged.
Then Governor Burke was present.
ed and made = very able address in
which he claimed that now the PEG.
pie Of the state had progressed far
enough materially that they could be-
gin. to think Of the more refining in
fluenoee than the mere making OF a
frugal living. and the church and the
schools of the state were doing a
work that could not be measured at
this time. He spoke very feelingly
Of the trials and privations that had
finally resulted In the completion Of
so noble structure as the McCabe
church, and the beauty and utility Of
the church parlors. And that great
as was our natural wealth that we
had a greater wealth in our noble |
manhood Of this state.
Governor Burke was followed by
Commissioner Of Agriculture and La
Dor w. C.. Gilbreath, who said that |
he had for years been regarded as the
Official booster" Of North Dakota,
but now he would have to go away
back and take a seat, as the governor
had beaten him at his own job, and
then went on and delivered a short
address.
REV. Danford was then called up
on and stated that ne too, had been
considered q booster, along the line
of church work, but that he had been
