Even the s~hrewdest persons may at
times be deceived. No matter how
much people may differ upon the
genius of Andrew Lang. they are
unanimous in regard to his quick in
telligence and his talent for playing
golf. Not long ago he was a guest at
a very distinguished dinner, which he
is said to have described as an extra
ordinary survival of savage mysteries.
The culinary part was faultless, but
Mr.. Lang's enjoyment was utterly
ruined by having, as he put 1t, "a
budding funny man on the one hand
and a diabolically deaf socialist on the
other. | could not" added The famous
critic, tell which of the two was the
more m%ournful companion" Two
weeks afterward it got ont that the
socialist was not deaf; that he had
come to the banquet prepared to be
bored by less learned guests; that he
had been seated alongside al idiotic
middle-aged gentleman who did moth
ing but talk of golf" and that, to pro-
tect himself. he had simulated a deaf
ness which kept his %neighbor bawling.

to the benefit derived therefrom by
the taxpayers of the state, as the fol
lowing will aptly show.
From the time the state took charge
of the system of leasing its lands, that
is, April l, 1891, up to September 80,
1898, there had been filed 1903 appli,
cations and 1874 leases allowed.
From September 80, 1898, to Septem-
Der 80, 1900, there were filed 2,OSS ap-
plications and 1,949 new leases allow
ed. In round numbers, during the past
two years the board has leased one
million arces of land that had never
before been leased, these new lands
yielding an additional annual income
of S44 900. The actual receipts of the
Office from Sept. 80, 1896, to Sept. 80,
1898, were 500, OSO.26, and the receipts
from Sept. 80, 1898, to Sept. 80, 1900,
have been s151 ,033.50, an increase of
sS2,053.24 e the former two years.
The acreage of land leased in 1896
was 391 ,101. Sc; the acreage of land
eased in 1898 was SsS,613.57; and the
acreage of lane leased at this time is
1,SSS ,613.57.
The register is very gratified to be
able to report the increase as above
ct forth and the attention Of the pub
ic is called to the fact that the lands
embraced in the new leases granted
during the past two years have been
almost entirely school lands, that is,
ands from which the revenue applies
directly to the benefit of the school
ystem of the state, making, in the ag-
gregate, an income Of $50, 900 per
annum. On April list of each year
his income is distributed directly to
he school districts of the state.
To this system of leasing lands is
due, in a great measure, the reduction
of taxes during the present year in
each and every county of the state, as
shown in the report of the state ex.
aminer as to the financial condition of
the counties, some counties reducing
the levy to the extent of one and a half
mills.
Were it possible for the board to be
able to lease all of the lands belong
ng to the state. about four million
acres. and keep them under constant
contract, the revenue derived there
from at the present rates charged,
which are not exorbitant, but reason.
Bile, would be almost adequate to run
the state government.
Again, II the state were able to lease
all of its school lands, about three mil.
lion acres, at the rates now charged,
the total revenue would be suf1 cient
to pay nearly one half of the cost Of
maintaining our present public school
system, which would not only do away
with the special school tax. but reduce
materially the county levy for public
school purposes.
I cannot now express too emphati-
cally the fact that the leasing of lands
by the state in a j%udicious manner ID
one of the most important and bene
fetal in the states administration.

PUBLIC READING ROOM.

Among the matters discussed at the
meeting at the Presbyterian church
yesterday afternoon was the necessity
of a public library. 1t is something
greatly needed. and The Republican
hopes the leading ladies in educational
matters will continue the agitation till
the desired result is attained.
Something more than a small room
is needed. That has beer tried and
proved a failure. Laramie has suf
ficient wealth, population and seekers
after knowledge to warrant an effort
to construct a building for library pur,
poses. The public county library could
be located in such a building and the
money now paid for rent would pay
for heat and %janitor service.
1t would take no large sum of money
to provide a creditable building and ii
is entirely probable that the entire
amount could be raised among our
home people. We have several citi
zens who have become wealthy in this
city and who would doubtless be glad
to aid in the erection of a library
building that would stand as a monu.
ment to their generosity, public spirit
and love of learning.
The Republican would respectfully
suggest to the ladies who have taken
an interest in the matter that they or.
ganize an association for the purpose
of erecting a library building. This
association could formulate plans and
work out details.
II there is an earnest desire on the
part of the people of Laramie to have
a public reading room and ashome for
the county library. the desire can be
gratiied through organization and de-
termined effort.

THE STATE LANDS
SUPERINTENDENT T.. T. lyman
GIVES INFORMATION CON-
CORNING THEM.
The Present Board of Land Commits
sioners Has Placed the Leasing
System on a Profitable Basis-Fig-
ures Showing the Extent of the
Business Done in Recent Years.

In compliance with a request from
the editors of The Republican, | re-
specially submit herewith a synopsis
of the business accomplished in the
period of two years ending September
80, 1900, by the state board of land
commissioners, through the office of
the register of the board.
The control and management of
state lands is a very important factor
in the business administration of the
state, and an earnest endeavor on the
part of the board has placed the sys-
tenn on a very profitable, and, we hope,
a popular standing. True, there are
some imperfections in the system now
in vogue, yet We hope by constant and
applied effort to eliminate absolutely
those that appear Inconsistent and I'M
fair. The law as contemplated and
strictly followed, we believe to be a
good one, and there is no question as

Question Answered.

Yes, August Flower still has the
largest sale of any medicine in the civ.
ilized world. Your mothers and grand
mothers lever thought of using any.
thing else for Indigestion or bilious
ness. Doctors were scarce, and they
seldom heard of appendicitis, nervous
prostration or heart failure, etc. They
used August Flower to clean out the
system and stop fermentation Of undi-
gested food, regulate the V and
organic action Of the system, and
that is all they took when feeling dull

aches. You only need a few doses Of

1t was the part of wisdom for the
temperance people OF Laramiet to take nc
action looking to an Independent ticke'
in the present campaign. Independent
action has always proved a failure
here. All the legislation regulating
vice now in force in Laramie was ad'
vocated and passed by the republican
marty. Every time the democrats nave
secured control of the city council the
morals OF the city have suffered. lnde'
pendent action on the part of temper

injury to their cause.
