School Land Law Suit.

State Land Commissioner E. W. Ross
is a party to bitterly contested case
now pending in the supreme court of
this state, which involves an exceed
ingly important if not to say interest
ing question concerning the state
school lands.
For five year lease upon piece
of school land upon which no lease
has yet been signed or issued the state
land commissioner has two bids-one
for $500, price previously agreed
upon by the commissioner, and the
other for $4,000, put in previous to the
closing of the deal. He insists upon
accepting the smaller bid, and it has
been temporarily enjoined. The de.
Tense which the commissioner presents
to the supreme court are, that the
matter is one solely between the state
and the chosen bidder and that the
larger bidder has no legal rights in the
matter and that the acceptance Of one
bid over another is entirely optional
with the commissioner. The largest
bidder maintains that he has right
to interpose, and that the discretion
which the commissioner has must be
exercised by the same rules as would
guide man in the management Of his
own business, or such as would be re-
quired of q trustee or receiver bv a
court in the administration Of the at
fairs Of any other trust estate. OF
course, if the commissioner is right
and he has a right to thus let the
school lands in private and without
competition, 1t will result in an i'm
mense loss annually to the school fund.
In this one case alone it amounts to
over $4,000. Hon. +. Il. Palmer, state
senator and chairman of the Republi-
can state central committee, managed
the case before the commissioner and
argued the case in the supreme court
for the 5000 bidder; Mr.. f. 9. Hughes,
of Seattle, and Hon. Thos. NJ. Vance,
ex-assistant attorney general, argued
the case in the supreme court for the
opposite side.

PUBLIC SENTIMENT ENDS
DAY OF DEPRAvlTY on STAGE.

That the public no longer will toler-
ate degrading, morbid, or prurient pro-
auctions on the stage has been real
lied by the New York theatrical man
ayers who stage most Of the produc-
tons In the country. The fact that
public opinion would not permit Nan
Patterson to exhibit herself was re-
ceived with some surprise, but with
more relief.
Miss Patterson left the sage after
she had received chilling receptions in
the smaller Pennsylvania cities, and
after the district attorney Of one coun
ty had forbidden her to appear, on the
ground that it would be IAN outra sc
on public decency."
Commenting on the case, a we'll
known theater trust manager said:

TALKING MACHINE IN CHINA.

plainly evident that news travels from
mouth to mouth as quickly as by tele-

chattering Cinnamon gathered outside
OF our quarters and awaited a concert.
They didn't make any request; they
simply waited for what they consid-
cred their rights.
"One OF our military escort told us
what his compatriots wanted, and
when we unveiled the talking machine
with great ceremony it received more
reverence than an ancestors tomb.
But the machine kicked and refused
to play. WhereupOn we informed our
