FOLMER'S POSITION UPHELD
Interior Department Passes on Appeal in
Boyd County Land Case.
SETTLERS HAVE NO TILE TO THE FARMS
Final Checking of state Fair Receipts
and Expenditures Makes Better
Showing Than Board
Had Expected.



LINCOLN Sept IL - Especially 49, Again
has the stand taken by former Land Com
missioner Folmer In the matter of the Boyd
county settlers been vindicated by the De-
partment Of the Interior. Land Commits
sioner Eaton yesterday afternoon received
from the department a decision holding
that the land in controversy belonged to
the permanent school fund OF the state and
not TO the settlers who claim 1t. The APP
peal from the decision of Mr.. Folmer was
taken by c. w. McCright The controversy
started when the legislature authorized the
land commissioner and the governor to
deed the land to the settlers. Mr.. Folmer
refused to sign the deed because he held
this land belonged to the state and that
the settlers had no right to locate upon it.
Because Folmer and former Attorney GEN
eral Prout could not agree upon the line
of defense to be adopted by the state In
the suit, Mr.. Folmer employed Captain
Murfin and Judge Ryan to look after the
interest of the state. Governor Mickey
vetoed the bill which was passed by the
legislature to pay these attorneys for their

Had Close Call.

Friends of Charles II. Deere and B.
r. Peek are congratulating those gen
tlemen upon their lucky escape from a
mighty perilous position in which they
were placed while out in a boat near
Campbells Island Sunday morning,
the facts of which have just leaked
out II seems that after stroIling
about the island Sunday, the gentlemen
named decided 70 take a boat ride. Sc
curing fraiI little craft that was tied
up at the north shore near the upper
end OF the island. Pulling out in the
stream, all went we'll until the swift
current near the dam was reached.
1t was the intention TO pass over the
dam, but the current proved so strong
that they were unable TO control the
boat and so the craft was being car
ried out into the more swift water.
Mr.. Peek secured a rope about his
waist and springing into the water
sought TO tow the boat containing Mr..
Deere to shore. This however was I'M
successful, and as Mr. Peek was being
pulled into the river until the water
reached his neck, Mr. Deere also
sprang into the water. and between
them they finally succeeded in effect
ing landing. none the worst for their
experience than wet clothing and a
bad fright. Both admit they thought
they were gOners. and don't care to
repeat the experience.

Work on New Yards.

Already three miles of tracks in the
new yards of the New Shops in East
Moline has been completed. Much
work is accomplished every day and
upwards of $50 men are now employed
in the track laying gang. Surveyors
are busy running lines and driving
stakes. They have staked out the lead
track and just as fast as the proper
stakes are driven down the track lay
ing gang follows. Work has been
started on the concrete engine pits
which are being built outside of the
roundhouse. over these pits an en-
CINE is stopped TO pull the fires. The
ashes drop into the pit and after cool
ing are easily shoveled over the edge,
where the ashes will drop into a flat
car the top of which comes even with
the bottom of the pit. 1t is yet a little
early to estimate the time of the com
pletion of tracks but if the present
gait is kept up and the weather is fav-
orable. all of the main track laying
will have been completed by October

A Warning Note

For many years it had been
hard work to get people away
from the mines touse North Oak
otsl's Ignite coal, but thedemanu
is steadily growing and there is
every Indication that theinyesti-
cation, which has been made Of
the merits OF this cOalforproduc-
ing gas to operate gas engines,
has solved one OF the features OF
manufacturing in the northwest
and with theintroduction ofsuch
plants the de1nand for lig-
mite will rapidly increase,
and the mines of to-day
are not classed as exceedingly
valuable property will be much
sought for. Under these circum-
stances 1T is well to take heed OF
the request OF the State Irl.iga-
ton Association, that the pre-.
sent law, relating to the leasing
OF lands. under which veins OF
coal are known toexist, be amen
ded and otherrestrictions thrown
around the same SO thata mono
poly cannot be secured to North
Dakota's supply of native fuel.
Under the present law it would
take but q small sum to obtain
control OF all coal Veins on public
lands OF the state and there is
nothing in the statute requiring
them to beoperated. These coal
lands should be a valuablelegacy
to the people and it is hoped that
such provision will he taken as
will prevent their being gobbled
up by a trust.
