what were deceased's relations with

puzzling to some, at least. OF the resi-
dents Of this city. Mr.. gchimpfi, in
addition to being manager Of the
company at salary Of $1,000 per
annum, was also the principal stock
holder, having owned IS per cent OF
the stock. In his own right he was
worth over s2OO, 900, and at the time OF
his death had $4,000 In one Of the
local banks. 1t was his intention to
embark in other enterprises in this
locality, and he would probably have
been engaged In timber speculatiog
before many weeks had 1t not been
for the unfortunate circumstances
which 80 preYed upon his mind as to
lead him to self destruction. he was
OF a peculiar sensitive disposition. and
while he was known to have blamed
himself for the seeming carelessness
which enabled Beckwith to appropri-
ate the company funds. none Of those
those who were most intimate with
him had the faintest idea that the
case was so serious. Few men are
born under such fortunate circum-
stances as Mr.. Sehimpfl. He bore Ill.
will toward none, was always Of q
most cheerful and happy disposition
until the Beckwith affair came up,
and had more than sufficient Of this

ence. In his death Astoria has lost a
good friend, and one whose place may
not easily be filed.

Only one bill passed the Legislature
governing the sale of state school
lands. This was Steiwer's Senate bin
15d, which doubles the prics OF land,
and practically puts an end to lieu
land selections by private enterprise.
The act also prohibits the sale OF any
lieu land until the states title there
has been finally approved. Lands
hereafter surveyed are to be sold to
the highest bidder. the minimum
price being not less than $3.50 an
acre. The act will probably create a
temporary activity In the purchase Of
school lands. for 1t will not 20 into
effect for 90 days. and people have
that length Of time in which to pur.
chase at the old price. After this act
goes into effect, school sections al
ready surveyed will be sold at $3.50
an acre and lieu lands at $5. At the
new prices the sale OF land will be
less rapid than at the present prices,
but as the school fund Is now greater
than the State Land Board has been
able to loan, there will be no loss on
account OF the decrease in sales. In a
few years the actual value of the land
will have increased so that it will sell
at the new prices.

UP TO THE SAP.

It has been generally believed
that when any other company
started to build to Brownsville the
Arkansas Pass would push its line
from Alice to that point. This belief
has acted as a deterrent against any
railroad project outside the Arkansas
Pass. Now that Col. Lofts project
is assuming definite shape, it looks
like it is rather "up to" the Arkansas
Pass to make a move to protect Its
territory.-Beeville Bee.
