The faculty of the School of Mines
have just announced that pupils wish
ing to enter the institution in Septem-
ber 1904, may take their examinations
in solid geometry this coming June.

probably a better examination while
the study is still fresh in their minds
At a meeting of the State Land
Board May Goth Mrs. Grenfell protest
ed against selling school lands. and
voted against the action of the board,
but was in hopeless minority. Mrs.
Grenfell showed the board how the
building up of the leasing system had
increased the income of the state TO
over 100000 year in the last four
years, during which time she has been
a member of the board. She said that
the selling agricultural lands. from
which the best rentals were obtained.
would, if persisted in, cause a de-
crease in the income of the schools,
as of whatever lands sold the money
is placed in bank, and draws only 21a
per cent. interest, whereas through
rentals from six to twelve per cent.
is derived. She also said that while
the tracts of land passed on were few
in number and small, the principle at
stake was a vital one, and that thou
sands of persons would rightly feel
themselves entitled to purchase land
unless the board stuck to the estab-
lished rule of selling only in some ex-
traordinary case, where great advan-
tage to the state and schools was Sc
cured. The board ordered the sale
of five tracts of agricultural land in
forty and eighty-acre pieces in Otero
county. Mrs. Grenfell asserts that if
the system inaugurated by the land
board is pursued it will result in
shortening the school years in noun
tain and out of town districts. The
land board approved Register Wood

controversy in North and Middle

Bilbao, Oct. 30.-The garrison Of
Bilbao has been reinforced, but the
troops still have difficulties in coping
with the rioting strikers, who con-
stantly erect new barricades as the
old ones are torn down by the soldiers.

wrought by the mobs. The rioters
used dynamite in several instances to
blow in the doors of the Jesuits'
houses and to destroy the railroad
tracks with the object Of preventing
trains from entering Bilbao.
Famine prices are already being
charged for provisions. Even bread
is so scarce that loaves are selling at
pesetos (about IS cents) apiece.
Six persons were killed and hun
dred injured during Wednesdays con-
flicts. Hun ireds of terror stricken
people have fled from the city.
The railroad employees now threaten
to join the strikers.
Acting under orders from Madrid

the leading newspaper supporter in

party.
In the course of an unusually out
spoken editorial on the recent Alaska
boundary award, the Chronicle eX-
presses what it claims to be unani
nous dissatisfaction of Canadians at
the action of the British government
in the matter The paper says:
This Alaska episode has made it
clear that our existing relations to
the empire cannot be continued much
longer. We are even now at the part
ing of the ways.
"Our subordinate position has been
so clearly and SO humiliatingly re-
vealed that il must speedily become
utterly unendurable.'
The Chronicle adds that there are
now only two courses open for Can
ada. complete legislative Independence
within the empire. acknowledging the
sovereignty Of the king of England
alone or the status of an Independent
nation.
The paper says there Is much to
commend the latter step in particular,
because it would free Canada from
the danger of being ever embrolled
with the United States on account or
its European connection and at the
same time would secure for the Do
minion the benefit Of the protection OF
the Monroe doctrine.

So far most of the prosecutions
have been directed against those en-
gagged in fraudulent proceedings under
the timber and stone acts and it now
appears that very many fragrant ir-
regularities have been discovered in
that connection.
In other cases entries have been
made in the names of purely fictitious
persons. The connivance of officials
is necessary in proceedings of this
character and this line G cases tend
them most easily to discovery and
prosecution.
II also appears that the frauds ex-
