TO-DAY'S INSTAuLMENT.

TO-DAY'S INSTAIn4MENT.
Arson was tho bane OF his life. His
stepfatner was Ansons uncle. and the
old idiot recently found out certain
facts concerning the life led by his step
son that caused family rupture. His
mother endeavored to patch up matters
with III SUCCESS, and the baronet was
intent on finding his sisters son and
stouing 10 him for years OF neglect by
making him his heir.
Lady Louisa concealed nothing OF this
from her scspegrace son. She hoped

My opinion is that there ought to be laws enacted to have at least three classes of these lands; one for those under all reclamation, or publicly supplied water, or irrigation projects; another class for merchantablc timber lands, of such as parts or parcels as may bring suitable prices to the state. And q third class of that which is only fit for grazing lands The first, or the strictly agricultural lands should be placed for sale as soon as possible at the option of the oc- cupant; as to the final disposition of this. or any other classes of lands. so that the holder may get clear title, on q contract with the state, to pur- chase, giving a time contract run ming not less than twenty years, at the rate of five per cent interest per annum to pay the pro rata partial payment each year until the expira- tion of contract and the occupant to have the power to assign or transfer his holdings, at any time, through the proper officers. I do not think. that any school land holders want any laws that will force them to purchase leases: or to sell their holdings at auction; or at any other scheme which is not open and above board
 The second class of valuable tim Der lands should be sold. when the state shall determine that it is wise to do so, and time may be given the holders either for grazing purposes. or for the removal of the timber, under contract with the state, The
