SENATOR HANSBROUQH'S BILL
Som at tbe Points in the BUI to Aaend
the Land Law.
Senator Hansbrough's neiv land -bill
excites a great deal of Comment.
The bill by implication repeals. the
timber and stone act, under which land
is now acquired at $2.50 per acre, re
gardless of its real value. It then au
thorizes the secretary of the interior to
make examinations and estimates, rela
tive to the quantity and value of the
timber or stone on the public lands and
to sell the right to cut and dispose of
the same in such quantities as may seem
advisable to the highest bidder. This
is the plan that is now being1 so suc
cessfully pursued in the sale of timber
6n Indian lands in Minnesota. Under
the proposed bill the title to the land
remains in the government, and the
secretary of the interior may fix the
limit of time in which the purchaser of
the right shall remove the timber or
stone. The right to cut the timber and
make it a merchantable quantity is
hiade inalienable.
,^ 'If this measure becomes a law all the
timber on the public domain will be
withdrawn from entry and the govern
ment will enter upon the policy of dis
posing of its timber at its market val
ue. There is a provision in the bill
Which prohibits the entry of these lands
under the homestead or other land
laws, and forbids the laying of script
thereon. In this way, and by retaining
the fee to the land, reforestration will
take place and the sale of timber by the
government will be a source of con
siderable revenue. It puts a quietus up
on speculation in public timber lands
arid an end to the frauds which have
recently grown into a national scandal.
The second section of the bill is a
necessary concomitant to the first. It
amends the lieu land selection act so
as to provide that when a settler
Whose entry falls within a forest re
serve selects another piece of land in
lieu of his original entry, the land so
selected must be more valuable for agri
cultural purposes than for timber or
atone. Under existing, law many of the
entrymen who find themselves within a
forest reserve proceed to cut and dis
pose of the timber on the land and then
go outside the reserve and file a home
Stead upon other timber land.
„The third section of the bill amends
tfce act of March 11, 1902, which pro
vides that proofs under the several
land laws may be made before United
States court commissioners or local
courts of record. The proposed amend
ment requires all proofs to commuted
homestead and desert land entries to be
made hereafter before registers arid re
covers in local landoffices.
The fact has been quite fully estab
lished, upon information receivea at
the general landoffice, that nearly all
the proofs concerning which there is
any question as to regularity are those
which are now made before"1ocal* court*
and court commissioners. This pro
posed amendment to existing law
recommended by the commissioner of
.t&e general landoffice, who w his last
report says: "The privileges gained by

the other hand, demand the
absolute repeal of all land laws, and
they may not be satisfied with the
Hansbrough measure. This bill will
form the basis of the discussion in con
gress, and may be regarded as the first
move on the part of those who are-op
posed to absolute repeal and think the
evils can be corrected by the amend

AUVERGNE COMMANDERY.
Tbe Coonnuidery Was Inspected^ by R. E. Q.
Cj. Carot hereof Grand Forfcs.~
List* evening closed the exercises
celebrating the twentieth anniversary of
Auvergne Commandery, Knigfets Tem
plar. First came the annual nispectioh
by R. E. Grand Commander R. M.
Carothers and the scene, was a most
imposing one' the ordeal was success
fully passed, and ^he inspecting officer
highly commended the condition of
Auvergne and the work done by
Sir Knight Craig as captain general.
The Order of the Temple was pre
sented with all its accessories—the
excellent music and the lantern slides
adding greatly to the imposing effect of
the ritual.
There were a large number of visitors
present from all over the state and
their comments on the presentation of
the decree were most complimentary.
Short addresses were made by quite
a number of the visitors and after a
short social session the event came to
an end, and the celebration of the
twentieth anniversary of the establish
ment of Auvergne is now history. This
commandery has made great progress
during this period, now having some
259 members, and is well equipped in
every respect. The influence exerted by
it cannot well be estimated, but it all
has been to the building up of good
morals, to the improvement of state and
country, and the relieving of distress
wherever found:

F. C* DEFEATED
Tbe Fargo College Was Too Light for
tile Heavyweights From the
State University*
FARGO COLLEGE o, N. D. tJ. 50.
The little cripples from the Fargo
Congregational College were over
whelmed by the state university team
from Grand Forks, which won yester
day afternoon by a score of 50 to o.
From a football standpoint the con
test was too one-sided to be interesting.
The Fargo boys were so light that they
could not withstand the weight of their
heavy opponents and the U. boys broke
through the line for great gains.
The university showed up strong in
their offensive work against the light
weights, but its defensive work was
very ragged and the little "preachers"
frequently bucked the line for long
gains.
The Fargo boys did stotne fearful and
tvonderful Tumbling and 011 at least two
Occasions it cost them touchdowns. In
the first half the locals frequently had
the ball and made repeated gains but
lost every time by careless juggling.
The Fargo boys average just 142
pounds. Juell, the center, is the heav
iest man and weighs just 167 stripped.
Pope is next at 153 and three members
weigh around 131 with the rest between
that and 147.
The state university team is said by
some of their boys to average 168.
Others claim it only averages 162. Even
with the 162 figures the U. boys had an
advantage of twenty pounds to the man.
The Fargo boys put up a game fight.
Little Hall was easily the star of the
game. He is fast and a fierce tackier.
The U. boys showed up well in of
fensive work and Wardrope and Bran
tion were the best ground gainers.
Dr. Wheeler of Fargo and Mr. Ward
Df
Grand Forks officiated. There were
no unpleasant features in the game and
the best of feeling prevailed.
F. C. FOOTBALL BANQUET.
The Fargo College held its football
banquet last night at Pirie's Hall. The
dining room was decorated with Blue
and Gold with various football' togs
used in effective places and posters of
the games during the season upon the
wall behind the toastmaster. The room
was crowded with more than a. hundred
of the students and their friends. The
toastmaster, Professor Stout, was in
troduced very effectively by Professor
Fisk. He called upon Professor Knowl
tdn first to answer the question—"Does
it Pay?" The dean began by counting
the cost in money, in energy, in time,
in bruises and in lessons. Then he
turned to the other side \jid enumer
ated some of the returns it brings good
to us in proportion as we put our energy
into it. He spoke of its effect as dis
cipline, in teaching self control, obedi
ence and unity of purpose for team
work. He gave a high tribute to Coach
Ewing and pointed out that we have
been laying foundations 'only this year
and must look to next for the comple
tion of the structure.
Secretary Allen next spoke of "Our
Standard." He spoke of the value of
athletics to a college. He spoke of the
moral influence of the physical depart
ment of a college and gave a fine appre
ciation of Coach Ewing.
Mr. Leonard of the Methodist Church
next spoke and said that while he had
been in college before the day of ath
letics and had been doubtful about their
benefits he was fully converted to them
and pledged that he would do his best
to have his sons make up for his omis
sions.
Paul Simmons spoke from the alumni
standpoint. He. gave a history of the
success of the team in the past and
prophesied great things for the future.
He spoke of the necessity of everyone
getting more into the game.
Mr. Hanna of the board of trustees
pledged the good will and sympathy of
the board. He spoke very effectively
and to the point in giving the quali
ties of manhood developed by athletics.
The loyalty to the college and college
spirit brought forth by athletic con
tests are analyzed to be patriotism and
good citizenship so necessary to our
country. He spoke his belief that a good
athlete, one who goes into it in the
proper spirit, is bound to'bfc $ useful
citizen.
Mr. Stimtfiel and Mr. Francis spoke
for the team and told of the difficulties
under which they sometimes labored
and of the little things in the fight which
are not visible from the side lines and
of the value of encouragement from
the rooters.
Mr. Shaw in toasting the team char
acterized each of the players in an ef
fective and very witty manner.
At this point Mr. Fisk arose and an
nounced the election of next year's cap
tain, Charles A. Sargent, who is uni
versally known as a hard player with
the best head on the team and the sort
of a leader best adapted to steady the
men and brace them up when they need
it most.
The final toast was from Coach Ew
ing. It was at once his good bye, his
summary of the season's work and a
very strong plea, setting forth the bene
fits of athletics. He said that the spirit,
of athletics means team woflc against
personal work and especially against
grandstand playing which he despises.
It is the spirit which sacrifices person
al convenience for the welfare of the
college the spirit of good fellowship.
It brings forth the old spirit of con
flict now dormant to so large an extent
in civilized men, tlie spirit of dogged
perseverence against great odds.
After the banquet' Mr. Ewing said
good bye to the friend he has made
heri and this riiorning he left for Chi
cago where he will enter Rush Mfcdical
School to fit himself for sur^er^, his
chosen line. Everyone at the colljtyfe is
determined to have Ewing back next
year and preparations looking to that
end are to be bejun immediately.
