The Outlook Favorable.

A careful and comprehensive
study Of agricultural conditions
both at home and abroad has lust
been completed by the Orange
Judd syndicate of agricultural
weeklies. The conclusion is that
America i'll particular and the
world in general will see several
years Of good times based upon
the bedrock of agricultural! pros,
perity, One thousand millions of
dollars will hardly measure the in.
crease i'll the farmers receipts for
last years produce over the values
that prevailed as late as 1895
more than SIoo, 900, 900 of farm
mortgages have been paid during
the past two years. Millions in
chattle mortgages have been wiped
out. National bank resources have
increased over one thousand mil
lions of dollars and the rates on
farm loans have decreased
materially.
There is brilliant promise for
the largest tonnage of crops this
year ever produced in America.
Prices will be reasonably we'll
maintained, compared with the low
values of 1925. indicating total
return for staple crops alone Of
$Ioo, 600, 600 more this season than
last year. Even if the world
should have bumper wheat crop
its supply for the two years end
ing June 80 next would be 100, :
ooo, 900 bushels less than for the
two previous years of advancing
prices, indicating that fair prices
are more than likely for the present
crop. Advance in the price OF
agricultural land. is noticeable
feature. The farmers are on the
high road to continued prosperity.

What are the F2ctS2

In characteristic article ap-
pearing 10 its issue Of July 10 the
Tribune attempts to so cover up
the white pine controversy as to
beguile the unsuspecting. reader.
Blu, the facts separated from the
mass of verbiage still remain the
same. Homesteaders in Idaho,
good honest men, settled upon
,ert III portions Of the white pine
lands. relying Upon their rights as
>quatters upon the public domain.
They built cabins and made other
improvements. They asked for a
survey and got it, but before the
pla,s were fled the state selectors,
regardless VI squa,ter rights flied
on the land for the state. The
state has no right to select before
the plats are on file in the local
lard office. Why then did the
state solicitors 60 on the pine lands
before the states rights had &C
crueG? The law quoted says that
the state must select from, sur
veyed, unreserved and unappro-
rriatcd lands" The lands in
question were appropriated by
these homesteaders who held them
under squatter's rights. These are
the facts which the evidence given
in the contest cases brings out.
II is the truth that hurts and the
winged bird always futte,s. The
facts stick like a bur and nowhere
lave we had a stronger statement
Of facts than the following which
was published in last weeks Mos
COW Mirror:
Every one of the settlers who
have 50 far contested the state.
have shown by undisputable evil
tlence before the land Office, that
they settled upon these lands from
Due u four years before surveyed.
They have further shown by the
Of the land selections
themselves in every case in which
they have been put on the stand,
that they went upon these lands
nnder the direct instructions Of the
State Board Of Land Commissions.
and four month prior to the fling
ri the pla,s in the local land Office
(.he time in which legal selection
could hegin) and they further
state. :;Iiia:e7 oa;;hh that they made
their selections while on the
grounL--that they left the lands
nearly two months before the time
81 legal selection aud in every case
ii which they were sworn they
testified to seeing these houses and
improvements. yet IN every case
they ignored them and took the
land for the state.
I'VE are able TO state further
that at least q dozen more families
who were at that time settled upon
there lands, being unable to en-
ploy An attorney, or carry ON a
contest were compelled to abandon
their humble homes, where they
stand today, deserted and silent,
pitiful monuments Of the ignorant,
incompetent and oppressive policy
Of land board whose only
achievements, thus far, are in pre-
venting settlement and develop.
