ABSOLUTELY PURE
A Satisfactory Admission.

A couple of weeks since the Daily
Statesman accused the KEYSTONE
of making false statements, in
language that could not be mistak-
en-. Last week we published our
authority, which was undisputable.
This week, our crawfish friend,
finding itself cornered, comes to the
front with this acknowledgment !:
The KErcHUM KEYSTONE pre-
tends to have found justification for
its attack upon the state land board
in the simple fact that the county
of Ada has secured the larger por-
ton of the loans of the school
moneys. The Statesman did not
deny this"
The Statesman has come to its
senses at last, and now admits that
the KEYSTONE was right in its state
ment, but not until it was forced to
by the figures. If the Statesman
attempts to justify all its party's
rottenness it will have to enlarge
and publish two editions daily.
There is another point we wish to
call to the attention of our valued
contemporary, and that is, it does
not add to the dignity of great
metropolitan journal to intimate,
as argument, that contemporary is
a petifogger, even if ''cold, critical
contemptuous world" does think
SO. "The dignity of the profession
must be preserved" and such jour
nails as the Statesman are expected
to set all example for its weaker
brothers. We hope the Statesman
will never again indulge in such
remarks.

A Commendable Scheme.

Col. George v. Bryan, late demo
cratic nominee for Lieutenant Gov
ernor of Idaho, is working indus
triously upon plan which may re.
suit in the reclamation of millions
of acres Of arid lands embraced in
the great Snake River plain in
southern Idaho. In a general sense
the scheme is not a new one. II
has been tackled before by able
men, but nothing has ever come of
their efforts. The land referred to
is owned by the Federal Govern
ment and will never be settled upon
because it would cost fortune to
get water upon it. Col. Bryan'a
scheme is, in substance, to have
congress pass special law provid-
ing that companies may take up
any number of acres of this land
upon condition that when they
shall have rendered irrigable all the
territory thus preempted, they pay
to the government the regular price
of $1.20 per acre for every alternate
section, the remaining sections,
with the irrigation bitches and
water, to belong to the government
and to be open for settlement and
sale. In order to keep the land
and water companies within bounds
Col. Bryan proposes that congress
shall fix the maximum duty that
shall be imposed upon the users of
the water. The Colonel further
proposes as preliminary measure
that congress shall authorize the
appointment of a commission of
nine to visit Idaho, thoroughly in
vestigate the matter and report it's
findings to congress. tits estimated
that this plan would add immeas-
urably to the wealth and popula-
ton of Idaho. Indeed, if the
scheme is carried through, there is
no doubt of it, for at present the
land is a waste of sage brush, pop
ulated by jack-rabbits, and as it
stands, worth nothing to the gov
eminent, but the report of the state
land commissioner shows that SIM
iliar lands when rendered irrigable
are easily sold for 1913 per acre.
