COUNTY HIGH SCHOOL
Unique Institution Located at Panora,
in Guthrie County - May Be First
Stop in Development Of Statewide
System.

Special to Times s-Republican.
Iowa City, Dec. IF. c. Ensign,
member Of the department of educa-
ton in the State University Of Iowa,
has just returned to the city from
tour of inspection of Iowa high schools,
during which he visited the only coun-
ty high school in the state. This unique
institution is located at the little city
of Panora, in Guthrie county, about six
miles from Guthrie Center, the county
Gators in Iowa as the first step in the
development Of statewide system OF
county high schools
"There are about 200 students" de-
clares Professor Ensign, "and most of
those are men ranging in age from Is
to %. and even older. This fact makes
it impossible for them to compete in
the state interscholastic meet because
there is an age limit of 81 on all ath-
letes who compete. The course, of
study is not exactly what one would
expect to find in a high school of that
kind In addition to the regular pre-
paratory college courses the Panora
school has courses in agricultural
chemistry and stock judging. These
last two courses have made the insti-
tuition especially attractive for the boys
of the county and with the people who
pay the bills. Larger appropriations
for it's maintenance have been paid
without question. The school has two
we'll equipped buildings and in .every
way has proved of great value to the
county"

Not a Town In Northern North
Dakota Is Exempt From Ser
ious Situation
POSSIBILITY OF SNOW BLOCKADE
Thi. Is Serious Feature Of the Most
Critical Condition in History Of the
state-Northern Minnesota condi-
tions simiIar-RaiIroad Official
Blame. Fuel Dealers for situstiena

st. Paul, Dec. ia special to the
Dispatch from Grand Forks, N. D4
says that the fuel situation today pres
sents the most critical condition THAT
has existed dn the history of the state.
Careful inquiry in every portion Of tho
northern half of the state shows that
there is not a town In which coal can
be had, except in small quantities. and
supply is Immediately needed in doz1
ems Of places. There is not pound GO
be bought, dealers having been cut otltl
OF fuel for days, and in some cases
for week or more.
At Larimore, one car Of coal was res
ceived Saturday and sold out In quar-
ter of a ton lots. The electric aagaht
plant is running on half time. AZ
Linton, no bituminous coal nor ignite
has been received for weeks. There is
plenty Of Ignite at Bismark, but i cam
not be gotten here. At Lakota, dealers
are out, and individuals are sharing
with their neighbors. At Ca1sdo the
-four mill has been closed for three
weeks, for lack Of fuel, the light plant
closed Thursday, and individuals ara
running short At Granville the last
coal was sold December s. At Towner:
and Rugby, the schools are closed, al
they are at many smaller places ~
Minot, the central heating plant ta
closed down at intervals to save fuel.
These illustrations could be muldplieds
indefinitely, as the same conditions pre-
vail in the southern half Of the state
and in northern Minnesota. One Of
the serious features is the possibility
of a snow blackade. There Is now moro
snow on the ground than at any tarne
since 1896. Thus far, the state has es-
capped high winds and bad drifts, but
a storm such as is usual at any time
in the winter would pile UP immense
drifts and tie up the roads completely
for many days, and cripple them for
the entire winter

or resign. According to those who are
considered politically wise, the outlook
for the senator's success next month
is darker than at any time since the
outcry began against him.
In interviews Bailey bears down
hard on the sacred trust imposed by
instructions but his opponents retort by
pointing out that sacred trusts were
imposed on Bailey and then refer to his
Standard Oil dealings.
When Bailey's enemies opened up on
his Standard Oil record several weeks
ago his friends secuted the idea that
opposition worthy of note could be
made in the legislature. A week ago
the same men admitted that perhaps
four legislators would cast their vote
against Bailey. But it is admitted in
the Bailey camp that twelve men VIII
vote for some other than the incumbent
when the legislature goes to choose a
senator.
To these twelve must be added many
whose opposition to Bailey is pro-
nounced but who have refrained from
talking to newspaper men, and others
who before the legislature meets un-
doubtedly will be. instructed to cast
their votes for new deal.
Governor -elect Campbell, Of Pales-
tine; Attorney General Davidson and
Joseph d. Savers, of Austin, former
governor; Judge Charles K. Bell, OF
Fort Worth; Horace Chiffon. Yancey
Lewis and NJ. NJ. Crane, of Dallas, are
most frequently mentioned as opposing
the senator who has to answer for
Standard Oil loans and fees, rich stock
farms, and trotting horses.
The senator processes no fear, tho
the opposition predicts certain defeat.
The chief weakness Of the opposition
is lack of organization. Perhaps half
a dozen men are flying their kites to
draw the senatorial lightning. Each of
them appears to have as much chance
as another.
The leaders recognize that there
must be concentrated effort in the as
sembly Consequently before the leg
islature meets it is almost certain the
anti -Baileyites will have centered their
strength in some one person.
Young mems anti Bailey meetings
last week were we'll attended and a
petition protesting against his re-elec-
ton was signed numerously.

tion to the public land laws, the navy
personnel bill and accounting the pres
ident's visit to inspect the Panama ca
nal. The latter message attracted great
interest because it was elaborately IL
lustrated, showing the work on the
great waterway in its various stages.
Washington, Dec; 17.-In a message
to congress today, the president urges
the repeal of the timber and stone act;
demands radical amendment of the
desert land act, and urges the repeal
of the communication clause of the
homestead. act, all of which, he de-
clares, now serve to turn great tracts
of land over to spectators and corpor-
ation3.
To prevent fraudulent acquisition of
public lands the president says he has
directed that the secretary of the In
terror allow no patents to be issued to
public lands under any law until, by an
examination of the ground, actual COM
pliance with that law has been found
to exist. For this purpose an increase
of special agents in the general land
office is urgently required. The presi-
dent believes that there should be pro-
vision for leading coal, oil and gas re-
ports under proper restrictions
He urges the revision and re-enact-
ment of existing laws affecting re-
ports of way and privileges on public
lands and reservations in one compre-
hensive act, and providing that the
regulations now i'm force in many cases
may be extended to all.
The legislation he recommends is in
line with the proposal to allow the rail-
roads to consolidate their holdings OF
timber within the, forest reserves by
exchange, after deciding their lands to
the government.
The president recommends that the
secretary of the treasury be authorized
to advance to the forest service, upon
security of the standing timber, an
amount, say s5,O00,0OO. sufficient to
provide for reasonable working cap
ital for the national forests, to bear
interest and tp be repaid in annual
lnstal1nents beginning in ten years.

The power to create national forests

each locality rules for grazing espec-
tally adapeed to its needs, and authorize
the collection of q reasonable grazing
