Just returned with few full-blood-

men to figure on the future. There are
no marketable horses in the country
now; so what will be the conditions in
five years, as it takes that many years
to produce one? In that time you
should have at least three hundred

Exchange of Bonds Belonging 9
to the State School Fund
Made Months Ago,
SUM INVOLVED WAS LARGE
And the State, So Itis CIaime ed i,
Made Very Poor Trade,
Unnecessarily.

Some time during the last session
of the legislature of the State Of Ne
vada, man named Kelley. from Kan
sas City, Mo-, negotiated with the
State an exchange of $3.50, 900 in gov
ernment bonds, belonging to our
school fund, for like amount of the
bonds of the State of Massachusetts.
The trade was consummated between
Kelley and our State officials.
1t is now said that Kelley realized
a large sum on the exchange and it is
intimated that number of the par
ties connected with the deal were lib
orally rewarded for their part in the
transaction, and the loss to the school
fund of the State is estimated by diff
ferent persons at from $50 600 to $780,
900.
These are the facts. briefly stated,
so far as they have been made pub
lie. The news of the consummation of
the deal will be a surprise to many.
and it has been remarked by the few
who were in possession of the facts
that the swap" or exchange was a
very poor bargain from this States
side of the question, to say the least.
About the time that the deal was
made, Congress passed law author
izing the exchange of the new series
of government bonds for the outstand-
ing series, which of course would have
been the source of a considerable in
come to the holders of the series
Since the State could have exchanged
it's old government bonds for the new,
at many thousands of dollars more
profit than can possibly be derived
from the exchange made, the ques-
tion arises, why did the custodians
of the States funds not avail them
selves of this eminently better bar
gain, in preference to trading for a
lot of the state bonds of Massachu-
setts?
A prominent and well posted local
attorney stated this morning that after
a thorough research of the statutes,
he failed to find any law to support the
decision of the States attorney, given
last winter. that the exchange would
be in conformity with the Nevada
State law. In his opinion. l-e stat
ute cannot be construed to allow OF
such an exchange, although trading
the government bonds of the old
series for those of the new would be
perfectly legal.
Even IL there was nothing crooked
about the transaction. and the deal
was made for the best interests of
the taxpayers of the State and in
regular and legal way. the secrecy
attending it is certainly suspicious in
appearance, and it looks to the Sill
yer State as if it were up to some
body to explain.

all the officers located at Skagway about

lieved to have been wholesale specula-
ton of commissry supplies. The high
prices of these commodities offered ex
ceptional opportunities and it is said
that large quantities furnished for army
use were sold to the public and the off
GERS pocketed the proceeds. Another
Alaskan officer is to be tried for short

claims that his safe was broken open

postmasters whose offices constitute a
terminus for a rural free delivery route
to post in the offices the names of the
patrons receiving mail along the route.
This course has been the occasion of
serious and emphatic protests from
merchants in the smaller cities who
claim that the names are secured by the
mail order houses and are circularized
and their trade solicited to such an ex-
tent that it threatens the future of the
local IN e rchants. Mr.. Payne takes the
view that the addresses OF so many per-
sons have been changed as a result OF
establishing the rural routes that such
posting for the present at least, is essen
tial to the convenience OF the public and
the proper addressing of mail. This
order is also disadvantage to the local
papers as these names are used by the
large daiies to increase their subscrip-
tion lists at the expense of the smaller
newspapers.

first step in the solution OF the divorce
problem is described by DIR. Howard as
follows Every county in the United
