Land Lease Less Than Taxes.

Denver-That thousands of acres OF
state land have been leased by the
land board to private individuals at
a less rental than the lessees would
be compelled to pay in taxes alone IL
they owned the land outright is the
discovery made by members Of the
land board. Now an effort is being
made to raise the rental on these
lands at least to the figure
which would have to be paid
in taxes, and huge roar is
going up from stockmen and others
The state law provides minimum Of
s cents per acre on grazing land
which Is without a supply OF water. A
minimum Of 8 cents is provided for
land having water holes or other
source Of water supply. The prices
range from these figures upward, but

fee IL found to have been charged.

Washington.-Relief from unwar-
ranted activities by special agents of
the General Land Office is promised
In new circular of instructions soon
to be issued. For long time many
entrymen on lands withdrawn as coal
lands have been complaining that af.
ter being induced to sign agreements
for limited patents, with the under
standing that patents would issue
without delay, have been informed
that their patents would not issue un-
til the land had been examined. The
injustice and absurdity of this prac-
tice prompted Representative Mondell,
author of the law under which set
tiers may secure patent to the sur
face Of coal lands, to protest to the
commissioner of the General Land
Office.
1t was charged that special agents
were in many cases using browbeat-
ing and even coercive methods to Sc.
cure the signatures of settlers to
agreements to take limited patents.
The commissioner agreed to issue a
new circular, warning special agents
that this practice must cease, and
that when they have informed the
cettler of his rights in the matter
their duty ends.
Senator Guggenheim secured the
passage in the Senate Of the Taylor
bill, which recently passed the House,

and will now go to the President for
signature. 1t grants an extension OF
not more than three years time to
any entryman in the counties named,
who can show that he has been un.
able to make reclamation Of his en-.
try because Of unavoidable delay in
the construction of irrigation works
to convey water to the land.

The Easter Services.

The resurrection of our Lord was
appropriately celebrated at the Luth-
eran Church of the Redeemer. The
church was beautifully and elaborately
decorated. Southern smilax was US
ed in profusion, lattice work OF
which formed the background for the
cross and crown. The cnoir curtain,
organ and chancel railing were dec
grated with smilax and ropes OF 1t
outlined the arches and columns.
There were callas and pot plants,
and great banks of ferns were used
with quantities of white iris. Another
especial attraction was the splendid
music, which showed careful training
and work on the part Of the director
and choir members.
Though the weather was inclement
quite a large crowd gathered at the
impressive Matin services at $50 a.
m. The choir rendered the anthem by
Giffe Hail, Glorious Morn," and also
an offertory. The Matin service and
TIE Deum were used, after which the
holy communion was administered to
one hundred and twenty-five people.
At II o'clock there was very large
congregation. The choir gave the Eas-
ter anthem, Sing and Rejoice, for
Christ is Risen," by Adams. The pas
tor preached short and very impress
sive sermon on the Empty Tomb, af-
ter which the choir gave the Easter
Offertory by Adams, angel, Roll the

Letters of transfer were read Ccon-
frmation having taken place on Palm
Sunday. The Lords Supper was
again administered to one hundred and
seventy-six communicates.
Although it was raining at o'clock,
again the church was packed for the
celebration by the Sunday school. The
children of the primary department,
under the direction of Mrs. Harms,
rendered in a splendid manner, num-

MAD MISSISSIPPI
STAYS ITS WRATH
HALTS IT'S WORK
OF DEVASTATION.
As Tide Continues SOuthWard Many
Points in LeyeeS Subjected to Ter
rifle Strain.

The Mississippi rivers angry tor
rent has temporarily halted its work
of devastation. Aside from continu-
ance of the break in a cutoff en-
bankment above Natchez, Miss, no
further crevasses were reported last
night along the threatened stretches
of dykes.
Despite this temporary abatement
of the danger caused by the torrents
which sweep down the valley, the
crisis is not past. AS the tide con-
tinues southwark, many points between
Baton Rouge, La, and Helena, Ark,
must stand a terrific test. If they fail,
then hundreds of square miles in some
of the worlds richest agricultural
lands will be flooded, many hustling
cities will be inundated and life will
be threatened. AS the rise of the mood
continues from Arkansas City down
ward, the stress on the threatened en-
bankments has increased and anxiety
grows among the myraid Of workers
toiling to reinforce the dykes. Army
engineers declare they have the sit
uation under control at Miller's bend,
the dyke guarding Greenville and the
southern delta's fertile acres. This
point was regarded yesterday as one
of the most menaced in the danger
zone.
The crest will not reach Greenville
for three days or more. If the rise
continues gradual, it is believed the
dykes can be sufficiently strengthened
to contain the food.
Portions of country were flooded
north of Vicksburg yesterday by back
water from the Yazoo river.
The gauge at Vicksburg at Z o'clock
last night stood at 5O.8 feet, rise OF
two-tenths in y hours. This is one
tenth of a foot less than the rise in
the preceding II hours.
