Worth More to Kansas Than Increased
School Land Values.

TOPEKA, May 24.-(Special.) AS a
result of an Investigation of condf-
tions in western Kansas, Governor
Hoch will not ask the next legisla-
ture to make change in existing
laws governing the disposition of
state school lands. He was very much
displeased with the neglect of the
legislature of 1905 to SO amend the
laws that the state could realize a
larger profit out of the lands and de-
the next legislature to change the
laws. Since this announcement of
his intention lie has been making an
Investigation of conditions in the
counties in which the state school
land is situated apd has had the state
accountant, J. c.. Gafford, inquiring
into the school land transactions.
81 find,' said the governor, ''that
the land has been going too rapidly
during the last year or two to hope to
benefit the state much by any change
in the laws which might be = ade by
the next legislature. A few years ago
the legislature reduced the minimum
price at which these lands could be
sold from So to S1.25 an acre, and, of
course, there have been a number of
sales since that time. / thought
when the last legislature adjourned
that there might be enough of this
land left by the time the next legisla-
ture meets to make it worth while to
increase the minimum price of the
land and to provide against the sale
of it for some time. This would have
increased the state permanent school
fund by hundreds of thousands of
dollars.
81 have talked with and heard from
a number of the business men, farm
ers and legislators in the western
part of the state, since that time, and
believe now that the laws on this sub
ject should be left as they are. The
western Kansas men say that all of
the school land is in the western
third of the state, and that they
should have an opportunity of buying
the remainder for the price which
the men in eastern counties have
paid for the land they purchased from
the state. Those with whom have
talked and from whom L have heard
declare that they want more settlers
in their part of the state and that
they need this cheap land as an in
ducement to bring prospective buyers
into the country. L have concluded
that it is the best thing for the state
to allow the present laws on this sub
ject to remain as they are and unless
conditions change greatly will not
ask the Legislature to make change
The records in the office of the audi
tor of state show that there are in
the neighborhood of 10000 acres of
state land in the western counties.
None of the land is ever sold for more
than the minimum price. and the
sale of the remainder will increase
the present state permanent school
fund by 81. 5000, 900. Much of the land
is not worth the minimum price fixed
by law, and a great deal of it worth
much more.

STRIKE KOALNE.

From the Grinnell Record.
George w. Rhine and w. H. Mock
were engaged some time ago in dig
ging a well on Mr.. Rhine's farm three
miles northeast of Cove and at a
depth of forty-ffve feet encountered
soft substance greatly resembling
soap-stone in color and general APP
pearance. Mr.. Neck. who is an old
miner with years of practical expert
ence and vast knowledge of valuable
minerals was working down in the hole
and his well-trained eye detected
something that looked more valuable
to him than the yellow clay that he
was driving his spade into little at
time. He became more interested as
he got deeper into the vein and made
known his belief to those working on
top, with a result a considerable
quantity of the white slick substance
was taken to Grainfield and placed on
exhibition at the Fike drug store,
where 1T was viewed by Col. Reynolds,
John Beal and others, after which
Messrs. Rhine, FiKe, Reynolds and
Beal sent a quantity of the queer
looking substance to SalIna for analy
sis. After a thorough test in every
way the r:.c..iist pronounced it Koa-
line of high tesla mineral of i'm
mense worth.
The vein of koaline found on the
Rhine farm is about seventeen inches
thick and from all indications runs
far into the earth in every direction.
Koaline is used in the manufacture
of expensive chinaware and is also
used in the better grades of talcum
powder
the announcement of the discovery
and an effort is being made to form
company to mine the koaline and put
it on the market The undertaking
will be watched with keen interest
by Cove county people

From Tuesdays Daily.


The lateness of the train and the
stormy weather had no terrors for
several hundred enthusiastic Wood
men of the World who gathered at
Red Mems hall last evening to receive
Head Counsel |. |. Boak, who arrived
on the evening train.
Mr.. Boak was met at the depot by
n reception committee and escorted to
the Strater hotel and later to Red
Mems hall where large number of
members had congregated for the oc-
casion. After the preliminaries were
over Counsel Commander Smith in
troduced Mr. Boak who was received
with enthusiastic applause. To start
with, let us say. that Mr.. Boak organ
lied the Durango branch some six
teen years ago, hence he felt at home
when he arose to deliver n short ad-
OF the order the wonderful growth
and safeguards thrown around the
membership. II was a sure enough
interesting discourse. many facts be
Ing brought out which would be well
worth reproducing, but review will
be left for what Mr. Boak has to say
at public meeting to be held this
evening. Upon the conclusion of Mr..
Boak's remarks different members of
the order were called on for short re-
marks, among them Mayor McCon-
nell, Judge Pike, w. A. Reese and
others, good cheer prevailing. But
the speakers realized that feast for
the inner man was awaiting the com
pany next door and cut their remarks
short However. Mr Boak was in no
hurry and he called for all the char
ter members present to arise, and out
OF the large assemblage eight or ten
responded several of whom were
called upon who expressed their sat
isfactioD in belonging to the order.
The lodge being dismissed the slid
ing doors were raised and the charter
membera, with number OF the recep-
tion committee, escorted Mr.. Boak 10
one OF the banquet tables where a
choice repast was served to the edifi.
cation of all, 1t being necessary to
serve the second and third tables to
take care of those present.
Today Mr.. Boak is meeting mem
bers of the order in friendly way
and this evening will address pub
lie meeting at Red Mems hall to
which all are cordially invited.

Is remarkably large. In the same per
iod the number of licenses issued tc
persons brewing beer for their owr
consumption has decreased from lG.
los to 1922 in five years.
| The decrease in the CONSUMPTION oil
whisky, brandy, gin and other strong
drinks has also been considerable, the
total falling from 34,765.l35 gallons to
", 2,4S6,95S gallons. and the imports OF
| foreign wines and liquors have been
reduced from S,550.613 to 6,734.991
gallons. According to the commits.
sioners of inland revenue, the con.
sumption per capita of brandy, whisky
and gin has dropped from ..sS of a gal.
lon per man. woman and child to rs
per head. and the consumption of
wine from S.550.613 to 6,73I,99l gal
Ions.
Taking the consumption of all kinds
of alcoholic beverages, beer. ale, wine
and spirits, the consumption per cap
ita in the United Kingdom has fallen
from 1.0S to so during the last five
years.
Some time ago the bureau of sta
tistics at Washington made an Off
cial report upon the consumption of
spirits, wine and beer in the principal
countries OF the world and gave the
following figures of the number of
gallons consumed by the following
countries:
Russia-Spirits, 172.55O,5OO; beer,
151,633.000; wine, no return.

The figures for the European coun-
tries include only those quantities
which are used for beverages, the
amount of spirits used in the indus
tries and arts being uniformly ex-
cluded. The returns for the United
States include both because no dis
tinction is made by our government
Alcohols used in the arts and indus
tries are taxed precisely the same as
those used for beverages, and II is
estimated that for the reason given
not less than 100000 gallons of
spirits should be deducted from the
total credited to the United States.

capita consumption-that is. the aver

from Nevada With Glow.
ing Reports

Hon. C. Z. Mcconnell is home again
after having visited Ely, New. Ely is
the only place he visited, having gone
to look at a certain proposition to
which his attention was called before
he started, and after he had exam
ined 1t to his satisfaction he came
back.
To a Herald man he said this
morning. in answer to the question
If he had become interested, that he
had got his feet wet and was going
back right away While that is ra-
ther an Indefinite statement, Mr.. Nc
Connell's friends will regard 1t as sig
nificant.
Mr.. Mcconnell considers the Ely
section as great country. It is To-
Gated in a great copper belt and the
fact that a great smelter is being built
just below that town is ample evi.
dence tina the camp will be lasting
one. An immense amount OF capital
Is going in and reports as to the ex-
odus of men to that country have not
been exaggerated. But, for all that
there are not enough men to supply
The demand. Miners can get work
without any trouble. There were
more Colorado people In evidence
than anybody else.
The weather was fierce, the Their
mometer being low and the wind
blowing a gale across the desert all
\ the time. While such weather lasts
It is impracticable for a prospector
to get around over the hills.
From Mr.. Mcconnell 1t is learned
that the prices of meals, the cost OF
mining supplies, groceries and mos
other things are about the same as
they are In Durango.
Lumber is the most expensive
thing. 1t Is shipped from Oregon, Is
awful hard to get and sells at from
$40 to 800 thousand. Houses

Is the most encouraging feature OF
