manent School Funds

a030e0G SCHOOL FU008
The following statement, issued by
state superintendent w. L. Stockwell,
secretary Of the Board Of University and
School Lands, will be Of interest just
now that the public has had it's atten-
tion drawn to the investment Of the per
manent fund OF the various state institu.
tions and common schools. !, Numerous
erroneous statements have appeared in
the press of late bearing upon this sub
ject, consequently this authentic &C.
count will be more than welcome. .;s..
Since March LIST, 1907 the Board Of
University and School Lands has in.
vested 81, ,065, COO divided among the fol.
lowing classes of securities; Farm Loans

pal Bonds, sl5l, 100, County and Town
ship Bonds, $54, 400. Inasmuch as there
has been some questions as to the boards
attitude toward farm loans, it should be
noted that since March 1st, when the
amended law relative to farm loans went
into effect, sA0l, 400, has been invested in
this way or an average of $4,000 a
month. By months the farm loans
made are as follows: March nothing,

tions for farm loans Of over S175, 600 and
and for the first time ia more than five

MUST BE IN OFFICIAL PAPERS.

We note, some variations in the
methods Of carrying out the law ppovid
ing thatspubaic notice by advertising b<
given of the possession of Federal
liquor license or tax receipt.
The law is specific that such adver
tisement must be made in the AoaRcia
papers" Of the county for three week.
at the cost of the owner of the license
and that it is his duty to make and pa,
for the publication. Also ifhe fails t.
make such publication, then the owne,
of the premises must make the publica.
tion.
The owner of the license must also
file a certified copy with the county
auditor, If he lives in other than an in.
corporated city, and If in the limits Of
the latter with the city auditor, and
pay to these sum Of ten dollars for the
use Of the county or city as the case
may be.
Both the county and city auditor are
required to publish notice once a
month Of all such certified copies filed
during the month.
We notice that some owners of licens.
in this county have advertised
in papers other than the .'onicial papers
and while we do not grudge the adver.
tising fee to our heighbors, yet as mat.
ter Of law such advertising is useless.
One of the most curious develop.
ments in this line we find this week, in
which the city auditor Of st. Thomas
under the seal Of the city, advertised
that certain license has been fled in
his.ofice in that city by a st. Thomas
firm-and publishes the same in the
Crystal Call though st. Thomas had
no off cial newspaper any paper at all
for that matter.

SOMEWHAT REMINISCENT

The "old man. Of this establishment
had birthday this week which in itself
is of much more Importance to himself
than to the public. But it makes fel-
low little reminiscent nevertheless.
Perhaps the one thing that impresses
the man Of mature age when he thinks
of the past, is the wonderful progress Of
the world in what to him at least seems
but q short time, and what is historical.
ly certainly but brief space.
Not only has so much happened but,
how much is happening every day, and
more than all, how much faster things
are happening to day than five, ten,
twenty years ago. The speed of progress
is constantly accelerating. Steam and
electricity have certainly started the
world on q terrific pace. The discovery
ofscience and the inventions Of art, are
certainly miraculous even to us who
look on and have gotten SO used to it
that we hardly notice the speed. The
ratio Of each decade is almost like squar-
ing the rate. And what of the futuref
Perhaps there is nothing that makes
the old man wish to. live into the next
twenty-five or fifty years more than the
desire to know Of the wonders Of that
near future.

feSSiOn

Wallace, Idaho, Aug, IA
special from Boise states that at
torneys for the Western Federation Of
Miners are preparing To bring suit
against Dan Gardener in the name Of
the wife and child of Harry Orchard
for the purpose Of setting aside the
conveyance of Orchards interest 10
the Hercules mine TO Gardener
Jesse ID. Root Of Butte, partner OF
Peter Breen, has just returned from
Canada with authority to act, and
suit will be filed Immediately.
Breen claims to have sn agreement
with Orchard that he will repudiate
his confession, laying the whole
blame on Jack Simpkins, but this
is not generally believed. The suit
is being brought ia hopes that this
appeal TO Orchards svarcie will In
duce him to repudiate his confession.
The contention in the suit by the
plaintiff Is to the effect that the
transfer OF interest In the Hercules
was based on the deed to Gardener,
which was in reality a mortgage To
secure Indebtedness Of Orchard 20

The claim is also set up that the

FOREST LINES
ARE CORRECT
Forestry Department to Issue Dia-
gram Mats

Washington, Aug. 1.-Sporadically
a report appears that the additions to
the national forests made by execu-
. tive proclamation March 3 we're not
valid because the proclamations we're
not ''by metes and rounds, +" and that
the poclamations we're hastily pTepar-
ed, and that the legality of the pro-
clmations may be successfully at
tackled. This report is now claimed
by the forest bureau as baseless.
When the matter was put up to as
soCiate Price he made the following
official statement.
ional forests are now regularly es-
tablished by diagram. 1t appears
from an explanation of the method
made by Acting Forester Price today
that the reason for this change is
primarily the public convenience.
National forest proclamations have
used diagrams to indicate boundaries
ever since the Jemez forest, in New
Mexico, was established, October IL,
1905. Prior to that time worded
descriptions by metes and bounds
we're employed, but met with many
objections because such descriptions
had little meaning for the ordinary
person, and often puzzled surveyors
when they undertook to follow them.
"Now when the field no es have
been accurately plated and the
boundary fixed the diagram is re-
produced by photography. Hun
derds of copies are printed to ao-
company the proclamations and to be
distributed among the people who
are directly interested. The infor-
nation comes in way easily under
stood. The printed diagram shows
the boundaries and the relations to
the adjacent country much more
clearly than could be set forth y
Worded descriptions. 1t is no longer
necessary for individuals to make
their own maps of national forest
boundaries with the chance Of getting
the lines incorrect through improper
reading OF plating of the worded
description. The Photographic re-
production presents at glance just
the infor nation desired.
