LETTER FROM INDIA

The members Of the Foreign Mis-
sionary society of the Methodist
church of Dickinson prepared large
Christmas box last year and sent it
with the general missionary boxes
from Minneapolis and the following
letter which was just received by the
local corresponding secretary, Mrs.
A. A. Harleman, in Dickinson, will be
of interest to those who helped in
preparing this box:
Pakaur, M. E. Mission, Jan. rs, 1915.
My Dear Mrs. Harleman:
The beautiful Christmas box from
Minneapolis branch reached here just
a few days before Christmas. l do
want to extend my hearty thanks to
you all for the lovely and useful
things you sent. They all enjoyed
their. Christmas gifts so much. Had
it not been for this Christmas box /
am afraid we would not have been
able to give any presents this year.
How good and kind of you to think
Of us out here in India, no words
can explain the joy that came to the
little tots as they received their
Christmas gifts. The box did gladden.
many hearts. I also want to thank
you for the presents which were sent
to me personally. do appreciate
your kind thoughts of me. May God
bless each and every one Of you.
Our work here is most interesting
and the future for this work is as
bright as the promises of God. 1t is
such a great privilege to be able to
help these poor souls who live and
dwell in utter darkness. We have
just had thirty-three baptisms in our
village. 1t is such a joy to see these
precious souls step out of the path
of darkness into the path of life.
Truly God is good to show us this
| sign of success and it shall all be for
His glory. What joy and victory
comes when we know that Christ is
being glorifed!
We have had great deal Of fever
this year and so many of our people
have passed away. have Widows
Home here and have had six deaths
in a short time. Pasaur is famous
for malaria fever and we all suffer
with it more or less. !. Now we are
livery fortunate, as we have a good
doctor and trained nurse. I remem-
ber the days when we had neither and
then we found it very hard to care
for the sick. In addition to our other
work. Our days are.full of work and
often we wish the days were longer
so we could. accomplish more. We
are glad for the golden opportunities
we have. Wherever we 60 we hear
"come and teach us and help us"
ellis word shall not be in vain, but
it shall bear everlasting fruit" -.
! Kindest regards from Pakaur and
MANY thanks for all the beautiful
things you sent us. -. .
u .ss Yours in the work, s

REP. c. G. TURNER'S RESOLU-
TION MAY BRING THE STATE

e. Coming into Line.

The resolution introduced by Rep
resentatiye Gs G. Turner in the leg
islature and passed .. without opposi-
ton, asking Congress to- set aside a
land grant of. SOC, 900 acres for each
of the public land states, has very
encouraging outlook at the present
time. Senators A. J.. Gronna and P.
j. McCumber, as well as Congress-
man P. ID. Norton, have signified their
willingness to- do everything in their
power to secure national legislation
along this line. - ,s. .-.z-. z
Just recently Representative
Turner received letter from Gov.
L. B. Hanna congratula ting him on
the present outlook and calling his
attention to the fact that Wyoming
passed a similar resolution. 1t is
quite certain that Montana and all
the western states will be deeply in
.terested in the proposition and that
their Representatives in Congress
will do everything in their power to
secure the land grant.
It is found upon investigation that
many of the western states have al
ready secured land grants much
larger than North Dakota, and it is
reasonable to believe that" the states
west Of the Mississippi river will at
once see the reasonableness of the
Turner resolution. This resolution
provides first for 100000 acres for
public highways in our state, the re-
manning 100000 acres to be appor-
toned for. the benefit of the educa-
tiona1 .senenal and charitable instit,l-

to quite a little inasmuch as the

An injunction was served upon the
sheriff enjoining him from issuing a
sheriff's deed. A writ Of mandamus
was ralso served upon him requiring
him to issue certificate of redemp-
ton and lis pendens proceedings were
instituted, clouding the title of the
land and preventing anyone from sell
ling or transferring same.
> The county has 80 days to answer
in this action, the outcome Of which
will be watched with interest. In
fact the case involves legal questions
which may 60 to the supreme court.
1t is not alleged by the attorney in
bringing the action that Mrs. Wade
was within the time limit for redemp-
ton. and no blame attached to the
sheriff. It is alleged that the reason
for the plaintiffs non-appearance. in
time for redemption was due to a
mistake! in law and fact. Mrs. Wade
had been given some misleading legal
advice. There is also a question as
to, where the land should be redeemed.
This is: only one case and the chances
are that several like actions may be
started, as there are a number of
cases very similar to this one.-Slope

a Mrs. Wade, plaintiff in the above
action, is stopping in Dickinson. The
case will get to Judge VIC. Crawford
early the coming month. It looks as
though the lady could win the suit,
as she acted in good faith all the
way through, and it was not her
fault that she was few hours late
in reaching the new county. seat OF
Slope.

This Gives Per Capita Wealth of
s4o5.4s, Based on 1914 Directory
Census Of. 5,616,; a Showing
Hard to Beat.

Over two and a quarter million dol
lars are on deposit in the three nat
ional banks of Dickinson, according to
the statements. to- the comptroller of
currency called for March 4. This is
not the first time the city banks have
shown this amount Of funds on hand;
in fact, there are several times when
much greater amount has been in
the local banks. However, it is
fine showing and one that our people
can point to with pride. Very few
banks in North Dakota make as good
a showing at this season of the year
when the deposits are naturally re-
duced in most lines of business.
A comparison is made with the call
of year ago, and it will be noted
that there is a. gain for each bank,
aggregating $155, 5,272:61 for the three
banks. f7-''--

good, is $252,566.35 less than the
amount found in the, Dickinson banks.
Another interesting comparison is
the fact that the per capita deposit

city, while the Mandan per capita
deposit amounts to $399.1O.
The basis for this comparison is
made upon the Keiter directory CEN
sus of 1914, which gives Dickinson a
population of 5,616. The same man
got out the Mandan city directory
last year and found population of
500.
