Good Use of State Money

During the past year approximately
5000, 000aof money belonging to the sew
eral state institutions and to the public
schools was loaned by the state admin
istration under the provisions of the
law authorizing such action, a consid-
cradle sum having been loaned to
school districts of this state. Two
districts in this county. Mullan and
Kingston, obtained some of this money
from the state and when the state APP
portions the interest received from
these loans. these very districts and
other districts of this county will re-
ceive from the state portion of the
money that has been paid by them as
interest.
1t will thus be. seen that the loaning
of these funds in this manner is to the
mutual advantage of both the state and
the school districts, on the one hand
making the state school funds produc-
tive and on the other giving the school
districts a somewhat lower rate of In
terest than they could obtain from
private parties.
When the present administration
came into control of the state govern
ment large portion of the state funds
were distributed among banks of this
state, owned or controlled by those who
were adherents of the democratic party,
TWO notable instances of this sort OF
| tinanciering were a bank at Caldwell
and another at St Anthony. each of
which was supposed to be in very close
touch with a prominent democratic pol
itioian living in the former place. In
these two banks We're said to be about
100000 of state money from which the
state was receiving no income. A dem
ocratic administration Is a great thing
for the fellows who have the pull"

making to show that their interests
relative to the public domain are iden-
teal with those of the settler. He
shows how the present regime operates
to the advantage of the railroads and
the disadvantage of the public welfare
by permitting railroads to take up large
bodies Of land in bulk in exchange for
dd-numbered sections withdrawn In
forest reserves.
The matter would not be so i'm
portant or timely if 1t were not that
the railroads have just been answering
the stockmen by the plea that they
are for the settler 1t will be remem-
bered that when the Livestock associa-
ton met at Portland this month its
members resented the charge that their
land operations menace the settler and
asserted that they were in reality the
settlers best friends because they re-
sist the encroachments of the railroads.
The reply of the railroads, as we gather
it from the ST. Paul and Minneapolis
papers Is that they are really the true
friend Of the settler, because they know
that settlement means much more bus
mess for them than undeyeloped range.
The truth. OF course, is that each Of
these conflicting interests is working
hard to gobble all the public land pos
siblc and the settler win have to look
after himself The stockmen, many of
them. are holders of large quantities of
scrip. and are even now planning to
resist enforcement of the departments
rulings which will restrict their opera
tons AS to the railroads, the history
of their lieu land operations is too ia
miliar to need reiteration. They want
the country developed but first they
want to get possession of all the land
they can. This Is human nature; it is
even commendable thrift; but it does
not exactly qualify the roads to pose as
self-sacriicing seekers Of the settlers
veal
Senator Heyburn's resolution Is one
of the very few measures before con-
gress bearing on land reform, in whose
advocacy all can unite. Another is the
abolition Of the lieu land law. AS to
amendment or repeal of the timber,
stone and desert acts, we are not so
clear. 1t is strenuously asserted that
the laws are wholly bad and must be
repealed; but much of this talk ema-
mates from friends and apologies for
corrupt or weak land Office officials;
and on the other hand the theory that
the laws are all right If honestly en-
forced is put forward by those who fear
that repeal would put a stop to their
own iniquitous operations. In these
complicated problems congress is likely
to accept the conclusions of the public
land commission. And those conclu-
sions are not yet formed.

NATIONAL IRRIGATION

Some complaint has come out con-
eerning the progress Of work under the
national irrigation law, and In answer
the department announces that the
work of reclamation is being pushed
forward as rapidly as possible consist
ent with economy of administration
and efficient organization Of the exper-
fenced men available.
The magnitude Of the work can be
Judged when 1t Is known that 1t EN-
braces development in thirteen states
and territories, and the aggregate ex-
penditure will reach millions.
In Idaho some very important work
has been begun and several apportuni-
ties found for retaining arid lands
tributaries, especially bu utilizing as
reservoirs the takes at the head waters
of Snake river. large tract Of land
has been reserved on the Snake river
desert In the vicinity of the town of
Dubois. and another tract below Amer
lean Falls near Minidoka: third pro-
ject is that OF irrigating lands lying
between the Boise and Payette rivers
west of the city of Boise.
Each of the projects above mentioned
involve large works and construction
more or less involved in character and
1t is necessary to carry all examina-
tions with unusual thoroughness. The
work is necessarily slow but 1t will be
OF a permanent character and no mis-
takes can afford to be made.

0ODILY POIS|
Ill The Right Nay to Stand
III and Walk

~ I'D you ever sit in an audience
hall In one of the back seats
and watch the women come
in and walk down the aisles
If not, then do so next time you go to
such place. You will be unpleasantly
surprised at the awkward, ungainly
gait of many of the women. In fact.
the way a considerable proportion OF
our women carry themselves is a dis
grace to q free country. Mrs. VI. Ian
don Reed, the beautiful Delsartean,
herself a teacher of physical culture,
declares that when the average woman
walks her weight is thrown upon her
heels, her stomach is usually protrud-
ed, her shoulders are either held too
far backward or bent too far forward.
while she holds her arms stiflly, one
shoulder often being showed higher
than the other by the way in which
she clutches up her skirt or carries a
parcel
This is sad. solid truth.
What is worse, and more of it. Mrs
Reed tells us that thoughts, disposition
and feelings are plainly shown in the
motions of the body. Think, then. what
d sloppy, uncultiyated, wabbling men
tally many girls and women must
have if they think the way they walk!
If. as the Delsartean lady insists, we
tell oil ourselves with every movement
of the body. isn't ii high time we were
training our walk and carriage?
There is really much more in this
than most of us know or consider. You
see the picture. 1t is one whereby
Mrs. Reed illustrates TO US the correct
poise" of n woman's body 1t is the po-
sitiOn all persons should assume and
keep in walking and standing. If we
do we may be assured we shall always
stand and walk gracefully.
TO get this attitude stand erect and
hold your chest up. Always hold the
chest up and breathe as deeply as
possible. away around to the very tips
Of your lungs under the shoulder
blades. The deep breathing habit Of
itself tends to lift the chest and en-
large 1t, securing a noble poise. To do
real good the air you breathe must be
the purest you can find. When you
stand erect don't try to throw your
shoulders back" too far. That is the
direction usually given, but it is a
mistake. IL you hold your chest per
sistently up, your shoulders will nat
urally assume the right position with
out much trouble on your part in the
matter of turning them back.
The next point is to bear your weight
upon the front part of your feet. 1t is
horrible walk, that of the girl or
woman who goes slump, slump along
with her weight on her heels. 1t gives
the impression of age and oxlike heavi-
ness even to a girl of sixteen. Besides,
at every step there are the terrible jar

There are Indications that Russia's
troubles in the far east will not be con-

of Manchuria Is long past due and the

draw her military occupation of that
territory. England has shown her de-
