VOTE FOR UNION
Of TWO CHURCHES
Matter is Now Put Up to
Pacific District for Ac-
ceptance.

MayviLe, y. D. June 2z.-At the
Lutheran synod district q
final and unanimous agreement was
reached late Saturday Afternoon in the
matter q doclri1ai uniry with the
United and Haugs Lutheran churches.
There vas Z larga attendance. as q
~settlarrsnt was anticipated.
Lr. Stub, president Of the general
synod, WIS present and explained
rna-y matters which heretofore have
presented great difficulties. and il is
largely 10 his credit tna1 & solution
~ last mas been reached. Rev. l. D
HlNlsalser. Z member Of the Madison
c~o-nrnirtee, also vas present and aided
materially in shedding light on the
points that have been especially diff
t!cult 10 understand.
n articles Of agreement which
were accepted yesterday afternoon
are the same which have previously
been adopted by three other district
conventions the synod. ano which
were also ratified at the United Luth-
eran CONVENTION recently held at Far
go. II now remains for only the Pa
ciIe district Of the synod 10 adopt the
SANE paragraphs, and as this is but a
matter Of time, il is natural that Il
feeling Of satisfaction and gratitude
should ill the hearts Of those attend
ing the present session.
The action Of the district CONVEX
ton does not mean that the church
bodies concerned have now entered in
10 outward union ana have formed
one large Lutheran church. This ma
be q later development. The matter
is simply & doctrinal one. Committees
have been elected, however, and will
soon be working to solve whatever
problems the future might present in
this respect. Rev. l. D. Ilvisaker of
MayviNe was the choice Ct the district
convention as It's representative on
the committee. Eight new congrega-
lionE were added to the synod at the
convention SATURDAY.

A TURTLE STORY.
Large Turtle from Red River Gets In.
To Chicken Coon.

Fargo. June 24.-Two boys who on
Sunday caught the largest swapping
turtle taken from the Red river in
some time, nearly got into serious dit.
fculty with their parents, when this
turtleship got into the bad graces Of
the head Of the house. The lads put
the turtle into a large tub on the back
porch and proceeded to a vacant lot
TO play ball.
During their absence their catch
got a migratory notion and started
| OUT to investigate the premises. In
the course of his brief travels he ran
across q chicken coop containing two
hens and a lot Of young chickens.
The sport being right along his line.
he proceeded to make life miserable
for the flock. and it was only because
Of the racket created that attention
was attracted to the scene in time to
save the lives Of most OF the little
chicks.
Pursuant to orders from "headquar.
ters' the lads disposed of the turtle
10 q Moorhead saloonkeeper. The
creature was about is inches across
the back.

Treumann has been devoting the past
two weeks TO completing arrange
ments for the annual encampnent OF
the state troops. which We're originally
scheduled 10 participate in the war

ISOLATED TRACTS
GAN Be BOUGHT
Through Recent Act Of Con-
gress Sale of Land is
Restored.

Bismarck, N. D. juno 24.-The sale
Of isolated tracts of government land
is an important thing for the home
steaders and settlers in the western
part of this state, as il enables them
10 purchase tracts Of so and 40 acres
adjoining their lands in many in
stances where all the surrounding
lands have been filed upon. Since 1910,
however, there have beer NJ sales of
isolated tracts. because the coal land
classification of the government with
drew all of the public lands from sale.
The sale of isolated tracts has been re-
stored now. through the efforts Of
Congressman L. z. Hanna. and the
law under which this restoration is
made is another testimony of MIR.
Eanna's influence exerted in behalf Of
the homesteaders and settlers, and
proves his interest in the prosperity
Of the large class Of pioneer settlers
who are building up the western parts
Of this state.
The local land Office has received
notice of the new law which is in the
following terms:
That ~unreserved public
lands of the United States, exclusive
Of Alaska, which have heen withdraw WI
or classified as coal lands, or are vRlu-
bic for coal shall be sub
Jsct TO disposition
under the laws providing for the sale
OF isolated or disconnected tracts of
public lands, out there shall be a res
ervarion 10 the United States of the
coal in such lands
News Of this restoration of isolated
tracts to sale will be received with
great interest in the western part Of
the state. While other candidates
for public office are making lheoreti-
cal Speeches Mr.. Hanna has been ac-
comprising substantial results for
the farmers and homesteaders of the
state by looking after their interests
