ENDS OF
LANDS
Steenerson Has a Bill For
Sale Of Isolated Tracts
i'm Minnesota

Washington, Feb. 2.-Congressman
STEVENSON recently appeared before
the committee on public lands of the
house of representatives and ex-
planned the purpose of his bill for
the sale of isolated tracts Of public
lands in Minnesota and the committee
today favorably reported the same.
In an interview MT Stevenson
said: There are great many iso-
lated tracts of public land in Minne-
sofa, some containing perhaps from
three to FIVE acres and from that up
to one hundred and sixty acres. Some
of these tracts are good agricultural
lands adjoining improved farms but
too small to make IL worth while to
enter them under the homestead laws.
other tracts are unfit for agricul-
tural purposes at present, but might
be used for other purposes and grad
ually developed into valuable farm
land in their present state. in which
they will not be taken up as home
steads. No taxes are derived from
these lands nor do the Indians, for
whose benefit they are sold. get any
thing out Of them. My bill permits
the sales of those odds and ends and
a price not less than that fixed in
the law opening them to homestead
entry originally and without the re-
quirements Of the homestead laws"

Fergus Falls.
The following article, published in
The Fergus Falls Journal under the
headin, Lose College. Gain Academy"
explains the manner in which the peo-
pie of that city accept the victory OF
Concordia college:
''Mr. A. G. Anderson. who was Sc
lected by the Fergus Falls CONNER
cial club as its spokesman in con-
nection with the question of the fu-
ture of the Park Region Luther coll
lege, has received a communication
from the committee of six which re-
Gently inspected the college here
and the Concordia college at Moor
head with view to determining which
the academy of the Norwegian Luth-
eran churches Of the northwest, when
the three great branches of this de-
nomination are formally united during
the coming summer.
The communication states that the
committee has decided to recommend
that the academical and normal courses
of the Concordia be moved to the PARK
Region college in Fergus Falls ana
that the college course OF the Park Re
gion be transferred to the Concordia
college.
The committee will make this recon-
mendation to a full committee of If
teen, which will in turn recommend 1t
to the church conferences to be held
during the summer.
While college may sound somewhat
better than academy, the committee as
sures the citizens here that Fergus
Falls is going to fare quite as well as
Moorhead: in fact the academy will in
all probability be very much the larger
institution OF the two. Mr.. Anderson
is confident that it will mean 500 stu
dents almost from the time the new
arrangements go into effect.

Concordia college will undoubtedly
be made the college of the amalgamat-
ed Norwegian Lutheran church bodies;
as the report of the committee of
investigation favors retention of the
full college course here and making
Park Region Lutheran college at
Fergus Falls an academy.
The report OF the investigating
committee will be made to the full
committee Of fifteen regents repre-
senting the three great bodies of the
church which will perfect the
amalgamation at st. Paul on June z.
At this great meeting, the most i'm

That this action will be favorable

to be done is for the Moorhead Com

college site would do more to build

Paramn substitute for Gasoline.

Electrical World: A thousand years
ago, the scientists sought how to turn
the baser metals into gold. Today. with
no less zeal but with q chance for sue
cess, is the scientific world searching
for a cheap substitute for gasoline for
use in automobiles and other gas en-
gines.
A device has recently been invented
by r, A. Wilkinson. an Englishman,
whereby motorcars and internal COM
bustion engines used for driving cleo
trio lighting plants and other purposes,
designed for running on gasoline, can
be run entirely on parafln, without al
iteration to the engine or carbureter.
Wilkinson's bypass paraffin attach
ment" is inexpensive, and can be fitted
CINE can be instantly converted to run
on paraffin or petrol by simply opening
or closing a valve. In order to vapor-
ize the paraffin to enable start to be
made from cold, an electrical heater IL
provided.
After the engine has started, the par
aim and air passing from the carbu-
refer are heated by introducing a small
percentage of the exhaust gases direct
into the inlet pipe, which, mingling
with the paraffln and air, enters the
cylinders for second time.
When the attachment Is fitted to q
motorcar, the two valves used are con-.
trolled from the dashboard by means Of
steel wires run in brass tubes, but ia
the case OF a stationary engine the
dashboard controls can be- dispensed
with. For controlling the electrical
heater, . switch and pilot laDAp are pro-
vided.
