POStOffice Department
Rotten to the Core
(By Associated Prcss.)

Washington, D. c., June "a Among
othcr anomalous postoffioe conditions
Il was developed today that one of the
Investigators was himself being inves-
tigated. The investigator in question
is H. H. Rand, the confidential secre.
tary of Postmaster General Payne
This diverting detail became public
through the warrant secured to pay
Mr. Rand for his services. Mr.. Rand
has been carried on the government
payroll as superintendent Of salaries
and allowances. The former head OF
that bureau was George w. Beavers
who resigned before the investigation
was fairly started. Just exactly what
feature of the Investigation Mr.. Rand
was supposed to handle has not been
made clear. but it is sdspected that
Postmaster General Payne wanted
some man in whom he hal confidence
TO report 10 him. Accordingly he chose
his friend Of lifetime, Mr.. Rand, who
was drawing salary Of S2,500 year
as assistant superintendent Of salaries
and allowances.
For nearly two months past NJ.
Rand has been engaged in this con
fdcntial work and has had nothing tc
do with the division Of salaries and
allowances. The complications arose
when It became necessary to pay him
for services in one job when he was
really attending to the duties of an
other. In the meanwhile charges had
been preferred against him for hav
ing been associated with August W.
Machen in the latter's many gold min
ing companies, and these charges
were referred by Postmaster General
Payne. The embarrassment attend
ing this investigation by a subordin'
ate of the confidential investigator oI
his superior officer need not be dwell
upon to make clear the peculiar com
plications which surround the present
postoffice situation. Mr. Bristow will
not discuss the Rand charges. Mr..
Payne's reply to Inquiries is that the
whole question has been passed up to
Mr.. Bristow
The friends of Mr. Wynne, the first
assistant postmaster general, suspect
that the Rand Investigation had to dc
with that OF the Office of the first as
sisant II is said at the postoffice de
partment that no special prosecutors
will be employed to handle the indict
ments which the grand jury has re
turned or will return. In the sta.
route cases an attorney, in no wise
connected with the government, drew
all the indictments. In the present
prosecutions the federal attorney fol
the District of Columbia and his as
sistants will have fun charge of tht
prosecutions. The government will at
tempt to secure trials ct the earliest
possible time.

piled with certain conditions, the
company was to erect packing
house in the city that would develop
tho stock business into astonishing
figures, and do numerous other won.
derful things in the business line.
A bonus of $4,000 was asked of
the business men and, after some
weeks of hard work on the part of
the Business Mems association, this
was ready. Meanwhile the United
States Packing company has been
flirting with Kansas City and other
places, press dispatches stating that
Pueblo was not longer being serious
ly considered. Nothing definite can
be had from the Packing company.
and some of the business men tn the
city are beginning to feel that they
are being made the victims of com
pany with nothing behind it save a
bunch OF prospectuses.
The manager of the company has
some beautiful figures to show how
the packing trust will not be in it
with the chain of packing houses the
United States company is to estab-
lish, with Pueblo as the center of
operations. One prominent business
man of the city declares that the
company is a mushroom organization
securing bids from various cities to
sell out to the trust. The National
Stock Growers association is said to
be behind the packing house people,
but it Is declared that the association
is being used merely as club to
bluff the trust into buying.
There is at present little warm
correspondence being exchanged
which, it is thought, will settle the
matter one way or the other at an
early date.-State Journal.

Land Sales Enormous.

In the last fiscal year 2,O7S,O72
public land entries were made, en-
bracing 1874, ,07O acres, an increase
of II, ,G21 entries and 36S,6S5 acres
over 1902, the previous record year.
The receipts aggregated $1O,557,53
-$4, 677,4 ,442 more than in 1902.
Under the national irrigation law
the net receipts from the disposal
of public lands is diverted into re
clamation funds for use in building
the government irrigation systems.
About one fourth Of the gross re-
ceipts is deducted to meet expenses,
and to pay the . per cent set aside
for educational purposes. This
means that the reclamation fund will
be swelled to the extent OF seven and
half million dollars as result of
the immense land Office business of
the last year, for the receipts as
above given will later be augmented
by nearly if not quite half a million
dollars derived from fines, timber
sales and various funds not yet re
ported.
The reclamation fund, embodying
only the net receipts for the two prev
lous years, amounted in round num-
bers, to $7,7OO,OOO. With the funds
added last year, there will be about
100000 available by the time
the first expenditures are made. This
fund becomes permanent, but is be-
ing constantly increased, as the cash
receipts are added each year.

for park purposes.

for park purposes.
Formerly this land was leased by
the state and the annual rent receiv
ed on the lease was only $40 for the
entire forty acres. It was sold at
$25 an acre, or 1000 for the whole
tract. The selling price invested in
warrants will bring interest at the
rate of 6 percent per snnum. In
other words, the lend turned into
money will yield the state q revenue
six times as great as that it brought
under lease.
A similar state of affairs is reveal
ed by com pairing the revenue receiv-
cd from leases of agricultural land
with the interest that might be OBJ
tanned on the selling price. The
minimum price at which lands of
this kind are sold is So an acre, which
ut 6 per cent interest would yield
revenue Of 36 cents year. But this
land rents at minimum rate of 20
cents an acre, which is but little more
than half the interest that would be
earned if the land were turned into
money.
1t has been claimed that great
thing was accomplished by the land
board under the Orman administra-
ton in that some 100000 acres of
different kinds Of land were leased
in addition to that previously dis
posed of in that way. But it sp-
pears that this boasted achievement
included $4,000 acres of grazing land
near Pueblo which was leased at the
safe of 5 cents an acre, and 1000
acres between Florence and Canon
City leased at the same rate. Ex-
animation of the records shows, how
ever, that not singe cent OF this
rent har yet been paid.
In the case of the $4,000 acres
near Pueblo, the leases were issued
to some twenty-five individuals who
are said to be for the most part ire
sponsible. These leases turned over
their holdings to cattle firm which
now has the land under fence.
Nevertheless no rent has been paid.
It is said that bond to insure the
payment of the rent was given. but
it is impossible to find this bond in
the records of the land board.
A similar situation exists in the
case of the $4,000 acres near Flor
ence. The leases were granted to
several different persons who subse
quently transferred them to the
president of Boston cattle COM
pany. Nevertheless no rent has been
paid
1t is an easy mstter to make a
record by leasing state lands, if the
leases are to be made to irresponsible
people from whom no rent can be
collected. But we fail to see where
in the school fund is greatly benefit
ed by such policy.-Denver RePub
