MOUNTAIN STATES
BIG LAND LOSSES TO IDAHO
SCHOOL AND TIMBER TRACTS
TAKE OUT 81, 1000 ACRES.
This viii All Be Made Good by the
General Government in Due Time,
However.
(special Correspondence.l

Boise, Ida, Aug. 15-The officials Of
the state land department have been
engaged in checking over the losses
that the state has undergone in state
school and timber lands AS near as
can be ascertained at this time, the
total loss to the state in this land dis
trict will be about 10,150 acres. The
total loss in the entire state will be
about $4,000 acres.
This is not an absolute loss to the
state. as the national authorities allow
the state the privilege of making the
losses good by filing on any unoccupied
government land that they could find
and sometimes ii happened to be school
land. When the state was admitted
sections 10 to Sc of every full township
were set apart for the benefit of the
state school fund. Where any squat
teSs" already occupied the land. the
government confirms them in their title
to IT. but allows the state TO make the
loss to it good by allowing it to choose
from unOccupied lands in the state at
the time of choice. Then again. wherS
rivers cut through school or timber
lands, the government makes the loss
good the same way as in the case of
squatters. The Boise river is noted
for cutting up school land, and the state
fuses d HuHlDer OF sections IN TINS land
district by reason of this. The state is
not allowed to take its lands in forest
reserves, but is allowed TO choose at
once from any other unoccupied lands
TO make its loss good, or it can wait
until the forest reserves are thrown
open to settlers, when it would be en- =
titled to sections Is to SO in the re-
serves. The state authorities of this
state have elected to wait, as il is
thought that the lands may be then
worth great deal of money. and if
the state were to pick today it could
get very little land of any value The
total amount of school land in the
state is about 5000, 600 acres.

WITHOUT A HANDICAP
That's How Tom Fitch Enters
Senatorial Race.
HE FOOLS HIS RIVALS
NOT NECESSARY THAT HE

The other aspirants for Utah's va

have awakened at last to the reaIiza-

counting upon having their own way in
the fight for that prize because of his
disqualification have prepared them
selves for sad disappointment. Re

parties to study one of the sections OF
