Let Us Have a Standard Time.
To the Editor of The News:

To the Editor of The News:
My watch is slower than the clocks
of half my congregation, and faster
than those of the other half! This is
my conclusion on blue Mondays, and
the reason of this diversity of time, is,
because there is no standard in Nor
Canton. I wish to make a proposition,
Mr.. Editor, and that is, that one OF the
jewellers in town be requested to keep
eastern Time and hang his clock
in a conspicuous place, and thai we
afl set our watches and clocks by his
time, and keep them running at the
same pace.
l would be glad if this letter OF mine
brought forth further propositions, or
suggestions, but it seems to me that
some such agreement would be a BEN
eft to business and professional men.
as we'll as to ho~usekeepers, and even
school children.
Sincerely yours.

The Leasing of State Lands.

AlhO A4CdSCkkIS vi OACNDC SkA<N
The system which has been adopted
by the state land AGENTS in the selection
of lands for the benefit of state institu-
tions, is working a great hardship upon
the class of people who are the home
builders of the state, and if continued
will result in creating a landed %aristocra-
cy second to none in European countries,
excepting that the title will remain with
the state, until such time as the selling
of the land is deemed best. AS under
the law, no state land can be sold for less
than $40 per acre, it is evident that if n
of the big companies is successful in
acquiring a lease, the chances are favor
able for it's retention for as long a period
as desired by the lessee, because the
legal price of $1,000 per acre is prohibit
tive as the lands lie, in their natural
state, and there is no danger that the
companies who lease, will bring the land
under such a state of improvement, and
cultivation as to encourage possible pur-
cnasers in its acquisition. The fact is, that
these companies have seen their oppor-
tunity in the provision of the law which
allowed the state agents to make their
selections in any desired shape, and are
making a concerted movement to con
troll all the water on the ranges, which
carries with it the control of the range,
and renders the small stock owner help.
less. This is imperialism" with a ven
geance.
What credit can the state land agents
claim, for selecting a strip 35 miles long
on Willow creek, between the Marias
and the Sweet Grass Hills, taking az
the whole course of the creek, and being
but 40 acres wide, for the whole distance
This strip is reported as leased by only
3 companies, and the rest of the world il
barred. 1t may be claimed that every
body has the opportunity to take advant
age of this system, but is it true?
