State School For the Deaf and Dumb
and the Blind.

Both in attendance and efficiency, the
school for the deaf and dumb and the
blind, at Ogden, has made satisfactory
growth. During the two years the at
tendance has been los, of which ninety
were deaf and dumb and eighteen blind
pupils. OF this number there are in
attendance from Idaho seventeen pu-
pills and from Wyoming one pupil. For
each of these nonresident pupils the
state receives $3.50 per annum. It is
known that there are twenty-five deaf
or blind children in the state not yet
in attendance, but these are expected
to be enrolled within the coming bien-
NAL period. -Four boys and one girl
have been graduated from the school
during the term, two of whom are now
attending the national college for the
deaf at Washington, d. c.; the others
are employed at the trade taught them
at the school, carpentry one being fore
man of the shop at the school.
The health of the school, while for
the most part good, has been impaired
by two quite serious epidemics, scarlet
fever in September, 1897, and measles
in January, 1898. In April, 1898, a boy
was taken with typhoid fever, and al
though everything possible was done
for him. he died early in June, consti-
tuting the first death in the school in
its fourteen years existence.
Having visited the school personally.
l desire to add my attestation to the
excellent work it is accomplishing. Not
only are the pupils educated, but un-
der the careful training of corps of
competent teachers the most wonderful
miracles are wrought. Though the deaf
are not made to hear, the dumb are
made TO speak and the blind TO see
with their fingers. The institution is a
credit to the state. 1t is economically
and we'll managed. the farm. garden
and orchard produce a large share OF
the fruit and vegetables needed for the
institution, and the trade classes are in
successful operation.

of the correspondence department of
her great business, treating by letter

The present provision requiring that
payments for all lands sold shall be
made to the county treasurer of the
county in which the land purchased is
situated, has not, in my opinion, oDer-
ated satisfactorily. 1t entails upon the
land board almost interminable cores
pondence, devolves duties upon county
officers that are pertinent only to the
state, delays payment of funds into the
state treasury and is altogether unbusi-
nesslike and cumbersome. | am unable
to see any good reason why these pay
ments should not be made direct to the
secretary of the state land board and
have the certificates of sale issued di-
rectly from his Office to the purchaser,
and in the interest of economy and sys-
tematism l recommend that the change
be made.
Amendments to the law are also
needed to provide for turning over the
interest on the proceeds of sales OF
lands to the public schools and to make
clear provision for the use for the
benefit of the various institutions and
the schools, of interest on deferred pay
ments and rentals arising from leases.
AS the interior department CONSTITUTES
the several grants of land TO the state
by the national government. the state
is not permitted TO select mineral land
in satisfaction of any of its grants
The interior department also holds that
sections ,, 10, 81 and &c. granted TO the
state for common schools. known 20 be
mineral at the date of statehood. are
excepted from this grant. Under the
present land laws of the state. the state
board of land commissioners is not
permitted TO sell lands belonging TO the
state which contain mineral. but NAV
lease the same for a royalty The. board
has received no applications for the
lease Of mineral lands. There are a

Gus to mineral districts. These lands

It is believed that if the state board of
land commissioners were authorized TO

state would get the benefit of the pro-
ceeds. whereas, under the present DOL

cents outstanding, but the board finds
difficulty in negotiating for their re-
funding at a less interest rate. In 1900,
July !, however, the issue of 1890 Of
$500, 600 becomes optional, and then
there is but little doubt that this is
sue may be redeemed at an advantag-
eous rate.
Proper appropriation should be pro-
vided for the operations of this board,
the expenditures therefrom being to de-
fray expenses Of printing and engrav-
ing and other necessary and similar

endeavor to establish such cordial re-
lations with the state commissioners as
TO insure hearty cooperation in the
enforcement not only of the public
timber laws and forest laws. but the
state fish and game laws as we'll. Ac-
cordingly, the government forest super
visors and rangers in Colorado have
been appointed special fish and game
wardens. to serve as such without pay.
I certainly commend the course of
Colorado in this respect and urge that
similar laws be enacted here. 1 am
aware that there is opposition 10 the
creation of forest reserves and it will
be urged that various material interests
of the state are injured thereby. It viii
be our joint duty to consider these OBJ
jectiOns carefully and without preju-
dice, but always in the full light of the
fact that no interest can be as vital in
this arid region as the protection of
our water supply, dependent upon it as
we are for life itself.

to all end, not through the door
that leads into the Eternal Val

girl who for thirteen mouths has
lain in heavy stupor not unlike
death is showing signs of conscl

Miss Wilbur went into trance
on the night of February 18th,
1898. She had been engaged to
James Dunphy for some tame,
but differences prevented the
marriage. That night Dunphy
aud Miss Wilbur quarre.ed. The
next morning she was found in
the strange sleep in which she
has been ever since. The gas
was turned on and people said
it was a case of suicide that had
barely failed.

asked that the first thought he1

Dismal Swamp Canal.

The Dismal Swamp canal,
whose opening for commerce is
announced to take place in a
short time, is the oldest public
work IN the country, dating back
to the year 1877, when a CONS
pany, Of which George Washing~
ton was one Of the directors, was
organized to build it. Not much
progress was mad in the matter
until after wal Of 1872, when the
government. having realized the
necessity of an inland passage
for vessels, took hold or it. In
1922 it was finally opened to
traffic a distance Of twenty two
miles. For many years it was a
great waterway for interstate
commerce, but finally it was all
lowed to run down until ii be-
came unnavigable. Now, after
the expenditure of large
amount of money by Eastern
capitalists, it is about to be re-
opened. The canal forms an
important link in the chain of
inland waterways from New
York to Florida coast, and will
open up over 2ooo miles of in~
land navigation, comprising The
many rivers and streams of the
two Carollnas.
