The report forwarded by Special
Land Commissioner to Gov. Ireland. of
Texas. supports the grave charges recent
" made by the Galveston News concern
ing the Observation-Disclosures of land affairs
in the State. That paper declared that
foreign cattle companies were occupying
22,OOO. 900 acres-a block about the size
of Indiana--of school lands. for the use OF
which the Governor and his associates in
the Land Board ought to have collected
rent amounting to s2,0O0,000 In failing
to do so they deliberately ignored the law,
which is mandatory. 1t was also charged
that the school fund had been robbed since
1875 of l2 SOC. 900 acres of laud. worth
S25, 100000. The States endowment of
its public school system was magnificent

As there was minority opposed to the
Niagara Reservation scheme who based
their opposition mainly on the dollars and
cents view of the matter, ii is interesting
to note some of the results. The Niagara
Falls Gazette furnishes information which
meets this inquiry. The International
Hotel proprietors have organized joint
stock company with a capital stock of
$500. 900 for the purpose of improving
their property and enlarging their accom-
modations. A new Casino with frontage
OF over $50 feet is shortly to be erected
Business blocks are being erected and
planned and many new and handsome
private residences are talked off," Since
the middle Of July the number of visitors
has increased many fold. Such facts
as these tell their own story. As result
of passing the Reservation bill, the pros
perity OF the village of Niagara Falls has
been and is to be greatly promoted. That
means that there is to be a substantial ad-
dition from year to year to the taxable
property of the State, and that means
funds for the State Treasury. 1t thus ap-
pears that the Reservation is helping to
pay for itself, in lawful money of the
United States.

The Sacramento River in California has

hydraulic process that passenger and

II was an appropriation of $500 for
this purpose that was condemned by Sec
rotary Lincoln in the winter of 1928 1t
was then shown that even if the miners
should cease to wash the hills into the
stream, it would cost 81 800, 900 to do the
work. One would think it would be
more the duty of California to check the
dow of the debris into the stream before it
asks the nation to dig the stuff out at a
cost OF 81. 100000.
