Must Clear Up the Title.
The federal government will have
to clear up the title to the abandoned
Fort Hays military reservation be-
fore Kansas will spend any money
establishing a branch state normal
or agricultural experiment station on
it. The senate passed a bill appro-
priating $4,000 for the establishment
of the normal branch and the ex-
pertinent station. Gov. Stanley got
an inkling that the government did
not have a clear title to the entire
1000 acres of land in the reservation.
He was told that about 60 families
had taken homesteads on it, and that
the interior department had approved
the titles to a number of their claims.
