inches; at the age of %, five feet
nine inches. In so years the average
has gone up for the whole nation

state Wins ON Technical Points New
Hearing Granted.
The local land Office has received a
decision from the commissioners of the
general land Office in the appealed con
test case of Thomas Dunn VS.. the State
of Idaho. The commissioner reyerses
the local Office on the points involved.
The ease Is interesting from the fact
that large number Of filings on yalu-
able timber land claimed by the state
depended on the final decision. The
land was selected 10y the state in Sep
tember, 1901, for university purposes,
having been previously withdrawn
from entry upon the application Of the
governor for survey. September q,
1901, Thomas Dunn applied TO make
homestead entry on the land, which
WAS rejected because the state had
made prior selection. Dunn filed a
contest, alleging that he was a settler
on the land at the date OF the filing Of
the plat, and that the state had failed
10 publish notice OF the withdrawal OF
the land as required 10y law. On March
6. 1902. hearing OF the contest was
had in the local land Office and upon
the testimony taken decision was
rendered IN favor OF the contestant
and recommending the cancellation of
states selection. The state appealed
from the rejection OF lis motion TO dis
miss. which, the commissioner says,
should have been allowed. The COM
missioner Says that the proceedings
are vacated and that the contestant
will be permitted TO proceed upon filing
a new affidavit OF the contest showing
settlement prior TO date of filing of
the township plat and continued resi-.
dence 10 date. This puts the contest
before the local land Office on its merits
and linal decision will determine the
rights in such cases.
