THE fight between Latah, Nez
Perez and Idaho counties and
the state, over the special state
tax apportionment will be
watched with interest. Cover
nor Gooding declares that if
these counties do not pay their
share, the result will possibly
be the closing of the higher in
situations OF learning for lack of
funds. Two OF these, the univer-
sity and one OF the normal
schools, are situated in two OF
the very counties which are
bringing the fight. The curtail-
1nent OF state expenses by clos
ing these schools instead OF re.
trenching in some other direc-
ton would be severe punishment
to the recalcitrant counties.
But ii would be deplorable.

A FEW short sighted critics
have undertaken to take the
state land board to task for Sc
Letting state lands. These
critics believe they are cham
pions OF the settler and home
steader. However, their criti-
cism appears to be untimely.
The policy OF the present land
board, with Governor Gooding
as chairman,is the broadcast and
best, according to all accounts,
that the state has ever had. 1t
is cognizant Of the mistakes Of
the past and is determined to
protect the states interests.
When the state was organized
the government gave the state,
land to be selected by it for the
schools nnd state institutions.
Owing to criminal negligence In
the past, hundreds OF thousands
OF acres OF valuable timber and
agricultural lands, which the
state should have selected years
ago, were scripped by the rail-
roads. A million acres remain
to be selected by the state, much
Of which should have been select
ed in the past before the best
land had been grabbed up by
the corporations. The state
land board is now selecting land
III large bodies, as best it can,
and Is being criticised for it.
But IL is only taking what it
has q right to, and is entitled to
a great deal more. These state
lands are leased or the timber
ON them sold and the income is
used to support state institu-
tions. The income from state
lands already leased brings in
$27 900 annually. 's

man in the town should have
an advertisement in the home

than a two inch card. In adj
dition to the benefit it does
the advertiser in bringing his

the public it is a slight token
of his appreciation ofthe ben

THE INDEPENDENT
SCHOOL DISTRICT,

A few days ago a petition was
circulated in the hopes that
enough Of our esteemed citizens
would sign it in order that the
County Commissioners might fix a
date when all might vote eyes" or
| emo" on the question: Shall we
change this school district to an
Independent School District
The chief objections to the pc
tition are no objections whatever
when the facts are known and the
people understand them.
The first objection was that the
change would prohibit country
children from attending here. But,
the answer to this is easy because
the boundary lines would not be
changed and children that can
come now could como then.
On the question of nonresident
pupils paying tuition to attend in
this district, the answer is that
this question lies wholly in the
hands of the school trustees in
either case. The change does not
effect the law on this point in any
way.
In fact the only changes that are
made in change of this kind are
in the number of trustees, there
being S instead of 3, and they are
required to hold monthly meetings
to transact the school business.
Again the change would do away
with SO per cent of the red tape
that is gone thru with at present
in the financial part of the district.
Another thing, altho not of much
is the fact that it
would enable the board to hire the
teachers about the 1st of April in
stead of June, and this works to
soodNo both teachers and CON-
nunity in that the teachers know
where they are going and the
BOARD has a wider field to choose
rom and are not handicapped by
he already independent Districts.
According to the law there must
,e one-fifth of the voters names
IN the petition before the COM
can fix date for the
'ote on the question. The petit
ion will be circulated again in or
er to get the required number of
igners.
Sign the petition and have the
uestion put before the people;
hen go to the polls and vote the
ray you see fit. A CITIZEN. I

FOUGHT INSANE MAN.
Lighthouse Keepers Terrible Experience For
Seven Days.

New York (SpeciaD. - Stratford
Shoals Light, and perhaps the big Long
Island Sound steamers which are
guided by it, were saved last week
through the heroic struggle which the
keeper OF the light, Merrill Hulse, mac :
for seven days against an insane man,
marooned alone with the keeper and de-
termined to eXtingush the light.
The madman was Hulse's brother
keeper, Julius Coster, who went crazy
and tried to destroy the light In at
tempts to get at the light Coster wanted
to kill Hulse.
The story of the lone keepers defense
OF the Stratford Shoals was made pub
lie when the head keeper, Gilbert l..
Rutland, who was ashore on vacation
last week, handed in his official report
OF last weeks happenings. The light
house is situated on Long Island, mid
way between Bridgeport and Port Jef-
ferson.
Hulse had no warning that he was
living with an insane man until one day
Coster attacked him with a weapon
made of a razor lashed to the end of a
long pole. The keeper overpowered
Coster, and repeatedly afterward, dur
ing the first two days of his compan-
ions madness, was forced to fight for
his own life. Then Coster's mania tool,
new turn, and one afternoon Huse
found him with a hammer and chisel
trying TO cut away the walls of the
light house. That night the light sud-
denly stopped revolving, and its keeper
ran to the lamp room to find Coster with
an AK about TO destroy the lenses. He
fought his way into the room and saved
the light, and from that time on, for
fully five days, doing two mems work,
the brave keeper was forced both
to guard the lenses day and night, and
to fight many times for his own life,
and finally toward the end of this period
another burden was laid on him. As
Coster's deirium wore off he became
desirous OF committing suicide, so that
when removed from the light house he
bore self-inficted gashes all over his
neck, which only Hulse's faithful watch
fulness had kept from becoming fatal.
He was taken TO a hospital.

10 the Chautauqua Assembly, and in

NJ. Witte declared that he courted the
fullest publicity of the terms and their
discussion He said he had come 10 the
United States with the idea of taking the
American people into his confidence, but
he had been met with the objection OF
the Japanese to any such proceedings.
He said he wished to deny explicitly
and categorically the report that Rus
sia had at any of the sessions Of the
ENJOYS suggested an armistice.
There is an impression that the pleni-
potentiaries have reserved the strongly
contested terms OF the Japanese until
the last. and that those OF the most
Importance, such as Korean protectorate,
evacuation of Manchuria, fishing and
mining rights in and about Sakhalin and
Siberia, transfer OF Russian leases on
the Liao-yang peninsula and cession OF
the Chinese Eastern Railway, are now
to be considered and acted upon first.
This action in taking the course of the
least resistance would indicate sin
cere desire on the part OF the ENJOYS of
the two belligerent nations to adjust
their differences.

New Orleans (Special). - With the
death rate remaining lower than in pre-
vious visitations of yellow fever, the
feeling among health officers and the
laity continues hopeful. Although the
resent visitation has been prevalent long
enough to assume virulent form, the
fever is apparently less malignant than
it was when it first appeared. Doctors
now believe that if the first cases had
been taken hold of at once and sub
jected to proper treatment the total
deaths would have been much fewer.
The death rate for some time has been
steadily declining, showing the results
of efficient scientific treatment AT the
beginning it exceeded IS per cent, but
now has dropped to " per cent. In
1873 throughout the epidemic it was
about 20 per cent.
The heavy death rate at first is be-
lieved to have been due to the fact that
the stricken Italians courted death, either
by their refusal to summon doctors or
by refusing to follow directions given
them.
Many cases which have been reported
lately. except among Italians, are mild in
character and readily respond to treat
ment. However, though the conditions
present favorable aspect, the physi-
clans realize that two months or more
remain during which the disease may
have to be combatted.

The most gratifying augur in favor
of peace is the announcement by Nj.

voys have shown a disposition to treat
for peace in a conciliatory attitude, and
that they manifest disposition toward
moderation.

voys left their quarters in the general

The japanese arrived first at the hotel,
and Immediately repaired to their apart

ner.
Mr.. Sato, the envoys' spokesman, made
the Russian apartments the storm CEN
ter for the correspondents by announc-
ing that Mr. Karastovicz had been dele
gated to issue statement of the days
result. One hour later that official ar
rived and issued the following:

He said that the japanese had entered

that the utmost harmony prevailed, and
that the Japanese showed a disposition

poets for settlement of the existing
differences in the Far East have grown
much brighter. Pessimism is disappear
ing and hope is gradually taking its
place.
At noon the hour of the crisis that
was to determine the question Of peace
or war was fixed at 3 o'clock At night
the official announcement was made that
several days will in all probability be
consumed by the ENJOYS in the discus
sion of the subject under consideration.
That topic was the first clause of the
Japanese demand. What it is can only
be conf jectured.
The Russian ENJOYS advocated pub
lcity of deliberations. The Japanese
opposed it. Hence the present mystery.
1t is announced that the cession of
Sakhalin is not now under considera-
ton.
Inasmuch as several days may be re-
quired TO reach a decision, it is sug-
gested that the proposed limitation of
Russian naval strength in the Pacific is
the present bone of contention.
