Defended the Measure.

Yesterday in the Senate the bill
came up proposing to reduce thA
State land interest from to 1 per
cent. The measure was originally
introduced by Senator OKane of
Humboldt, without the reduction
clause, but with an extension of time.
The Senate proposed to amend the
bill by adding percent clause.
Governor Sparks, Surveyor General
Kelly and Superintendent Ring ad-
dressed the Senate on the measure.
While Governor Sparks advocated the
bill. General Kelly denied that he al
vocated its passage and only recited
the conditions as shown.
Mr.. O'Kane took the floor and BY
all odds made the clearest statement
regarding this important matter. He
showed by the report Of the Survey
or-General that the reduction would
mean q loss Of over twenty thousand
dollars to the school fund, and also
showed by the same document that
instead Of the heavy land owners pay
ing for their lands there had been q
very small percentage taken out in
patents. His argument that after
patenting the lands become more val
liable. was clean cut and to the point.
Senator 0Kane has evidently
made a close study Of the measure,
which is by far the most important
SO far introduced in the legislature.
The school fund has an ernest protec
tor In the gentleman and his argu.
ment bore more weight and actual
figures than anything the opposition
has so far advanced.

When the Indian was told this man would go with them the Indian demurred at first but later agreed providing two of his brothers be allowed to accom- pany them also But when the time came for the start it was discovered that the Indian guide had fled from the village.
 Mr. Grindell says he believes the story of the horses scattering and fears that while the men were separated in their search for them the guide killed them one at Q time. He also believes that had he gone with tne guide alone he would have met the same fate. E. P.

Grindell will be in Tucson for time and if he fails to hear anything from Governor Ysabel he will organ iZe another expedition to search the country in the vicinity of Escalantes ranch.
