MUST NOT SELL LAND
State Temporarily Enjsincd By
Judge Thornell.
Order Secured On Secretary BY
q. C. Clark
| Applies 1000 Acres Of Harrison
County Bottom Land
State Has Never Made Claim and
Precautionary Suit Is Brought
to Quiet Title.

Nonparei], Feb, 6. Suing the
state of Iowa without it's con-
sent is prohibited by law, but a
means of attaining the same
end was found yesterday
through an injunction secured
by George G. Clark against Sec
Rotary of State w. B. Martin to
prevent the latter from selling
| 900 acres of bottom land west
of Missouri Valley under the
act of 1904 relating to abandon
ed river beds. The injunction
was issued by Judge Thornell
of the district court at the re-
quest of Clark's attorney. It
is temporary in character but a
second order will be sought
against Martin and his success
ors in office, to run forever.
Clark is a resident of Illinois,
and recently purchased the
land, which consists for the
most part of accretions built up
by the Missouri river during
the last thirty or forty years.
There is a question whether
the tract, or any part of it is
properly an abandoned river
bed," but Clark's attorney
thought it wise not to leave the
matter open as a possible cloud
on the title. The injunction
was, therefore sought in order
to get the state, by one of its
officials, into court. 1t is not
believed that the state will offer
any resistance, as it has not so
far laid any claim to the land.

So far, no one has applied to
the state as an intending pur-
chaser of the land bought by
Clark from private owners,
which lies entirely i'm Harrison
county. The object Of the in
junction suit is to forestall any
attempt to acquire it in that
manner and to determine in adj
vance whether the state has
any title.

court will be effective as to
them. The state however, cam
not lose any of its rights through
the statue Of limitations. II it
ever had any title to the land,
lit has title now.
The question whether Or not
the state can lay claim to the
property will be settled when
the injunction suit is l. card.
The abandoned river beds act
obliges the secretary of state
to sell any tract of that descrip-
|tion at an appraised price to
the person first applying for its
purchase. The law does not
accurately define abandoned
river BEDS and it is not clear
whether the classification in
cIudes accratlons, which are
built up gradually, or merely
refers to channels entirely for
saken when a stream suddenly
changes its course.
On final hearing, Clark's at
torney expects to show that
the state never owned this land
since it was formed gradually
by deposits from the Missouri.
Both the common and the stat
uatory law, aside from the act
above referred, recognized the
principle that when a river
slowly recedes, the land it
leaves behind "accrues" to that
which was formerly the shore.
This is known as the law of
accretions.

Opposition to Home Study

Further argument against the HON
study idea is found in the fact that the
growing intellects of the children
should not be overtaxed but should be
given ample time for relaxation and
recreation. This cannot be done If the
child is hurried home from school and
compelled to put in the rest of the day
or the entire evening in preparation for
the lessons of the next day. 1t would
seem that such a system would deprive
the undeveloped mind of the rest essen
tial to %cultlvating a receptive condition
to meet the demands made upon it the
next day.
The average age of the pupils OF the
grammar and high schools to-day is
much younger than it was 10 Oh IL
years ago., and there is danger of crowd.
ing children through school too fast as
well as danger that their immature
physical beings will not be able tC
stand up under the mental and nervous
strain. Ambitious children are too fire.
quently not only allowed to CROWD
themselves but they are frequently en-
couraged to greater progress than theiI
minds and bodies should be allowed tc
undertake.
If this country would develop a ma
ton of men and women strong of body
and vigorous of intellect. it should be
provided that the hours spent outside
the school room be devoted to mental
and bodily recreation and not to o
further tax upon them in preparing fol-
the next days lessons.
This is a subject which should be
thoroughly discussed by parents and
educators alike to the end that the best
results with the greatest benefit shall
accrue.-Pueblo, Colorado, Chieftain.

ENTOMBED OVER TWO WEEKS
California Miner Who Passed
Through Awful Living Death
and Escaped Grave

Bakersfield, California, Dec. 22.-L.
B. Hicks, the miner who was entombed
by a cave-in in a tunnel of the Edison
Electric Power Company Dec. 2, was
rescued at 1875 o'clock tonight.
Hicks was buried under go feet of de-
bris 10 days ago in the tunnel. Five
of his fellow-workers were buried al
the same time by the cavern OF thous-
ands of toni of earth and rock.
The work of recovering the bodies
was Immediately begun and prosecuted
with vigor, but owing to the yielding
nature of the soil, slow progress was
made.
The water pipe was cleared and com
m~unication established through it with
the man at the bottom of the shaft
He proved to be Hicks. a former soldier
and an expert miner. whose life had
been saved by a steel car under which
he was pinned. His five companions
we're dead.
Hicks was given milk through a pipe
and soon showed signs Of renewed
vigor. He said that during the three
days previous to his discovery he had
subsisted on a plug Of chewing tobacco
Thereafter during the long hours o
his Imprisonment in closely.crampet
quarters he was kept well n%ourished.

An interesting development in a much
mooted question has recently appeared
in Kings County. New York. The
December Grand Jury Of that county.
after the examination of several mem
beers of the Board of Education and the
principals of the Brooklyn High Schools,
handed in a presentment to the County
Judge condemning certain school
methods.
The presentment demands that home
study by the pupils cease and that in
stead the daily hours at school be in
creased by one hour each day and that
the curriculum be changed so that a large
part of this additional hour be devoted
to supervised study.
The Grand Jury finds that the cur
riculm for ~16-year-old pupils is much
harder that it was a few years ago and
hat students are being forced far be-
yond their capacity to assimilate knowi-
edge. Such a system, it declares, can
result only in weakened memories n
| physical disability.
There is much that can be said IN
| support Of the position taken by the
| Kings County Grand Jury. Primarily
| the school is the place for study as well
as for instruction. 1t is just as essen
tial that the youth Of the country be
taught how to study as it is that they
be given direct instruction in any OF
the various branches of their curriculum
Incorrect habits of study are as detri'
mental to mental development as im'
proper literature is detrimental to the
moral growth of the reader. 1t is neces-
sary, therefore. that school study should
be properly supervised to the n tnat
the mental exercise be productive OF
the most benefit.

information that the mail in the local
office has accumulated to such an extent
that at the present time it is four days

rived here five days ago was distributed
to-day. and according to the postal

may not be sent out for several days to

local post office has ever done, and there
is not sufficient help to do the wori

Behind the strike Of the Goldheld
miners is a more serious question than
the price 10 be paid for day wages. says
the Salt Lake Herald. Two other and
more important problems are involved,
one q controversy between the Western
Federation of Miners and the newer
organization known rs the Industrial
Workers of the World, or the l. w. w.
Both these unions claim jurisdiction
over the Nevada miners. and as they
are in q sense antagonistic It has
made trouble, not only among the men,
but it has confused mine n in
their dealings with their employees.
The other question is n Of simple
honesty and the right of the mine owner
to the product of his property. In mines
carrying enormously valuable ore an in
dustry has arisen which is euphoniously
called "high grading" in which the
underground men make a business OF
stealing the rich ore and carrying it of
in their clothing when they quit work.
To prevent this stealing the mine own
ers have wished to provide rooms where
the clothing of the workers would be
changed at the mine. So far every at
to prevent the thefts or get an
for changing clothing has
been baked, and the loss of ore result
ing from high-grading is estimated in
the hundreds of thousands of dollars.
