Colorado Springs.-A decisive vic
tory has been won by the attorney
generals Office in its fight for state
inheritance tax against the Stratton

the two graduates.
1t was only last year the twelfth
grade was added to the high school
making one more year OF study, which
caused the greater number to drop
out and accounts for the smallness of
the class.
The Madison schools have enjoyed
an unusual degree of harmony during
the past two years since when they
have been in charge of Prof. j. A. Do
remus as superintendent. His work
with the pupils has been highly salts
factory and his relations to teachers

A peculiar feature of the class grad

RENT PAYS FOR LAND.
Where Land Sells for SIS and
Rents for SIS Per Acre.

One of the remarkable things about
eastern Arkansas and northern Louis
lana is the fact that cleared land rents
for $5 per acre cash, and can be bought
for $3.50 to SIS per acre. 1t costs
from So to $40 an acre to clear it.
Other improvements necessary are
slight and inexpensive.
The soil is rich alluvial, or made. 1t
produces bale of cotton per acre,
worth $45 to $50. This accounts for
it's high rental value. Other crops,
such as corn, small grains, grasses,
vegetables and fruits thrive as well.
Alfalfa yields to cuttings, ton
to a cutting, and brings $40 to SIG per
ton.
In other sections of these states
and in Texas as well, the rolling or
hill-land is especially adapted to stock
raising and fruit farming. Land is
very cheap, S. to $40 per acre; i'm
proved farms $40 SIS to $25 per acre
The new White river country offers
many opportunities for settlers. High

CLASS SONG.
Clever Composition Arranged for Grad
yates of High School.

Clever Composition Arranged for Grad
yates Of High School.
The class song of the graduating
class was the following, to the tune of
Imagination" in the Prince of Pilsen
The words were by Archibald 7. Cow:
When first we entered High school
We certainly were green;
We thought that everything we did
Was by some teacher seen.
We feared the naughty seniors frown
And pleaded for a smile,
But now we know twas foolish, for
We've been here quite a while.
Chorus
Imagination, imagination,
The teachers thought us cute in
school,
Imagination, imagination,
We learned that they were human
Though they made such rules.
When sophomores we at length be-
came
We cast aside our fear.
We "guyed" the "freshies" all the time
And made our wisdom clear.
We thought we were the only ones,
But missed it by a mile,
And certainly we ought to know for
We've been here quite while.
Chorus
Imagination, Imagination,
We cared for nothing more than fun.
Imagination, imagination,
And only got our lessons
When the day was done.
AS juniors we were never known
To indulge in childish play.
Our studies and our dignity
Kept us subdued all day.
We frowned at others foolishness
And earnestly did strive
To show the High school pupils how
They could both work and thrive.
Chorus
Hallucination, hallucination,
We did our playing on the sly,
Hallucination, hallucination,
Nor to be such examples did We
really try.
And now our senior year has passed
And we have reached the goal
Toward which we've toiled so steadily
Through four long years Of school
But now that we are forced to part
From those we've known so long,
The time has passed too soon by fal
Too swift the years have flown.
Chorus
= Examination, examination,
We're sick and tired of the name.

MAGNITUDE or RECLAMATION.
State Of Montana Could Use 500, oo0,-

Something OF the magnitude of the
work Of government irrigation is told
by Governor Pardee, Of California,
who said in an address at Boise yes
terday:
How wide this field Of endeavor is,
and how great the harvest, may be
imagined when We reflect that the re-
clamation service already has survey
ed and approved reclamation enter-
prises that will involve the expendi-
ture of round 100000, 900, whereas.
the estimated total for the reclama-
,tion fund by, the end Of 1908 is only
$41, 100000
Montana alone Is said to be await
ing the expenditure OF 800, O0O, 900 ir
this work. but s20o.0O0,000 will not
adequately reservoir the western
slope of the Sierra Nevada mountains
Of California.
There is not the smallest need that
private and governmental enterprises
shall get in each others way in recia-
nation work, that private enterprises
should sit idly down on some arid
plain and do moth ng worth while
in the hope that the reclamation serv-'
Ice will presently come along and do
its work for it.
