CIRCUS QUARTERS
BILL MCCARTHY OF CUSTER
TRAIL RANCH HAS MADE
UNIQUE CONTRACT.

Dickinson, NJ D., Nov. 9.-Bill Nc
Carthy, the genial proprietor Of the
Custer Trail ranch, has had variel
experience and succeeded in his every
undertaking.
His latest stunt is out of the ordi-
nary, for, so far as is known, it has no
parallel in North Dakota history.
It is no less than entering into an
agreement to winter menagerie at
the Custer ranch. Some circus people
went broke, or abandoned their show,
scme time since, leaving a miscellan-
eous assortment of animals in the
hands of firm of stock brokers in st.
Paul, and Emmett Marks, the horse
man, securing title to the outfit through
some deal in horses. An arrangement
has been made to ship the collection Of
animals to Mr.. Mccarthy, who will
endeavor to bring them through the
winter in condition for exhibition in
connection with travelling show next
spring.
Meantime, elephants, lions, beacon
strictors, and what not, possibly even
monkeys and other tropical animals
will be residents Of the Bad Lands at
Mr.. McCartby's ranch, few miles
south of NIedora, within a few miles
ride of the former home of Ex-Presi-
! dent Roosevelt.

+ At q recent meeting Of the school
land board Land Commissioner Nc
Donald was instructed to notify all
contractors that if the delinquencies
were not paid by January !, 1912, the
contracts would be revoked. The in
terest accruing to the state on princi-
pal is six per cent and the penalty is
seven per cent on all money delinquent.
The principal amounts to $765, 1000 ard
the interest 100000. There are 10000
land contracts in force and the post
age charge on the notices sent out
of the land department is $400.
There are 5000 land leases which
yield an annual income Of $4,000.
The interest and rental on these
lands goes towards the maintenance
Of the common schools Of the state
and it is necessary to know about what
the income from these sources is SO
that the school officers will know what

Much confusion has arisen from this
source. The board of university and
