presence of germs Of the bubonic plague which
in some manner had found their way into the

occurred before. but hitherto they have in

THE South needs immigration. and cannot get
it without treating immigrants right" It can

STATES TITLE TO IT'S LANDS,
Open Letter From Senator Hepburn
to the Idaho Daily Statesman.
United States Senate,

Washington, D. c., Feb. Ia, 1906.
Idaho Daily Statesman, Boise, Idaho,
| Gentlemen: My attention is directed
to an editorial in your issue under date
of February 6, 1906, under the heading
of 'Heyburn's Speech"
The editorial evidently being intended
as review of my recent speech in the
senate on the forest reserve question,
feel it my duty to direct your attention
to some manifest misconceptions or
errors on your part in dealing with this
subject.
\ 1t would hardly seem fair to attribute
your failure to comprehend the real
points at issue, in the forestry contro-
/ versy, to ignorance, or inability on your
l part to understand and comprehend the
scope of the legal questions presented
in my speech, affecting the title of the
state to the sections 16 and SO granted
by congress to the State of Idaho for
public school purposes by the admis-
sion act of Idaho into the Union. / am,
therefore, compelled to assume that in
maintaining the position assumed by
you upon these questions, you would
waive the legal rights of the state to
these lands, and that in discussing the
question, you would disregard such
rights rather than confess to the mani
fest error into which you have been led
by over zeal in espousing the cause of
the forester upon sentimental grounds,
actuated to som9 extent by your antag-
onistic personal feelings toward myself.
That there may hereafter be no mis-
take as to the question involved, as to
its fair presentation to you, take this
occasion of crystallizing the legal ques-
lions involved, stripped of all senti-
ments.
THE STATES TITLE TO ITS LANDS.
The states title to sections 16 and 81
is based upon section of the act o.
congress approved July 3, 1890, pro
viding for the admission of Idaho int
the union.
This section reads as follows:
THAT sections numbered sixteen ant
thirty-six in every township of sal,
state, and where such sections, or an,
parts thereof, have been sold or other
wise disposed of by or under the au
thority of any act of congress, othe
lands equivalent thereto, in legal sub
divisions of not less than one quartz
section, and as contiguous as may be
the section in lieu Of which the same
taken, are hereby granted to said stat
for the support of common schools, sue
indemnity lands to be selected with
said state in such manner as the legis
lature may provide, with the approx;
of the secretary Of the interior"
Section Of the same act provides:
''That all lands herein granted fc
educational purposes shall be dispose
of only at public sale, the proceeds
constitute permanent school fund, II
interest Of which only shall be expen'
ed in support of said schools.
"But such lands may, under sue
regulations as the legislature shall pr
scribe, be leased for periods Of n
more than five years and such lam
shall not be subject TO pre-emptio
homestead entry, or any other ent
under the land laws OF the Unit
