STATE LAND
SELLS WELL
Norman Jackson Reviews the
Conditions that Make the
Investments Attractive

Norman Jackson chief clerk of the
state land board, is in the city to
conduct the sale of state lands to be
held here Saturday. To a Teller re-
porter he said:
THE sales held the past week at
Grangeville and Moscow were record
breakers in point of attendance and
interest displayed. A liberal use of
printers ink in the way of circulars
for distribution and reading notices in
the county papers has had good results
and giveh every one interested chance
to be on hand
A years experience in the land
department has convinced me that the
terms on which land is sold by the state
appeal particularly to people in mode
rate circumstances. Almost anyone can
make the ten per cent cash payment re-
.quired, and either rental from the land
or profit on the crop itself will pay the
yearly interest of six per cent and pro-
vide a, ''sinking fund which will enable
the purchaser to pay off the remaining
nine tenths long before the expiration
of ten years Another attractive feature
is that the purchaser only pays taxes
on his one-tenth interest in the land,
the nine-tenths remaining the property
of the state until paid for and therefore
can, not be taxed. The law also pro-
vides for extension of time for ten
years longer when good cause is
shown. In case of a failure to meet
interest payments no foreclosure in the
courts with attendant costs is neces-
sary. Provision Is made for forfeit
ure proceeding that involves absolutely
no expense or publicity Furthermore,
until the land is leased or resold the
delinquent can be restored to all his

Clubs Standing.
National League Clubs Standing.

Another defeat came Washington's way
yesterday afternoon. when the senators
faced the Browns at st. Louis, the score
being to 0. About the only satisfaction
to be CLEANED from the contest Is that the
Senators f1elded without an error ana
Townsend twirled in excellent form. I'm
fortunately for Washington. after putting
up this good exhibition Of fielding, the st.
Louis team jumped into the same class and
in addition managed to hit the ball when
the bingles were most needed. Only two
runs were scored. but they were as good as
hundred.
AS the Senators had left Philadelphia
Saturday night and made continuous jour-
ney to the mound city 1t was not expected
that they would play anything like good
game but If they can put up such game
under those circumstances the chances are
that they are In for brace and will play
better ball hereafter.
Jack Townsend. the Delaware boy, came
out of his shell after weeks rest, and as
he had good command the st. Louis boys
had hard time in locating the quick bend
ers he sent over the plate. In the first in
ming Burkett got away with a single and
scored on Anderson's double. In the fourth
the Browns second and last run crossed the
Kahoe single. The other innings for both
sides were fruitless.
While Townsend was laboring so hard to
land a victory for Washington diminutive
Sudhoff was doing a little bit better for
the Browns. While the little fellow has
not the speed of Townsend. the slow curves
bothered the Senators at every point along
the nine-inning route, and at the end they
had COPIED but four dinky little singles
Several times the sphere was hit Squarely
on the nose and went from the bat with a
crack like pistol shot, but the next sec
ond it would find safe lodgment in the
hands of st. Louis fielder. Delehanty was
particularly unfortunate in this respect. a
liner from his bat going over second like
the wind. but Anderson went up into the
air. pulled 1t down in safety Rand then
doubled Robinson. who was too far off the
sack.
Martin again played second base and ac-
cepted all of his six chances without an
error. He also secured one of the four hits,
and perhaps Manager LOTUS has made a
find.

wonder If any of the fans here remem-
Der Jesse Burkett when he was a slim
pitcher?' asked Charlie Hart, the we'll
known engineer, as he watched the White
Sox defeat the Browns in Chicago last
week 81 used to catch Burkett way back
in 1885, when we were working for Tom
Lotus In Omaha. Lotus used to pay us
off in good stories now and then working
the wait until 1 cash this check game on
us and helping us out with 60 cents and a
few postage stamps.
"Burkett had a world of speed. I used
to let him do his own signalling, except in
rare cases-when we were in a tight hole
and he seemed to be up in the air.
"Once 1 frightened Jesse SO badly that
long after he got big and strong he feared
I would get ferocious and turn on him.
Big Morrissey was at bat Morrissey in
those days was a regular Brouthers with
the stick. He liked best the low wide ones
and often Strengthened 'em out for four
baggers.
Three men were on bases and only one
was out. Burkett began to float 'em up
low for Morrissey. The batter reached for
one and sent it about a furlong just out
side first base Luckily 1t was foul While
the boys were chasing the ball walked out
and gave Burkett the awfulest tongue
flashing he ever got and drilled it into him
that high ones would tie MorrisSey in a
knot. After that it was easy to backstop
Burkett." DA=
