STATE LANDS.
Recent Attempts of Government to
Recover Coal Lands Referred To.

The state board of land commits
sioners reports satisfactory conditions,
and consistent care in conserving the
valuable lands of the state. Special
attention is here called to some items
In the boards report:
The artesian well attempted in Mil
lard county was never completed. The
land where 1t was being driven has
been sold for $4,000. The amount will
yield the appraised value of the land,
together with all the money expended
upon the experimental well.
on account of increased land values,
the present board raised the price of
selected lands from $3.50 to $3.50 per
acre, and school and state lands in
proportion. Upon lands that have
been and Will be sold, following this
increase in price, the revenues of the
state will probably be increased up
wards of half a million dollars, by rea-
son of this action.

acted a law fixing the salaries of JUS
tees of the supreme court at $1,000 per

intention of the Legislature that the fix

stewardship. So far as my co-opera-
ton will assist YOU in discharging your

SUNDAY THEATRICALs.

CHANGE IN FISCAL YEAR.

The former legislature changed the
fiscal year. so that instead OF ending,
as before, on Dec. 81. ii now ends on
Nov. 80. The change has caused
some complications In order to avoid
these and conform TO the fiscal year.
would respectfully suggest that YOU
make appropriations for the period
ending Nov 80. 1908. The law should
be made uniform in providing that the
reports of all departments must reach
the governor not later than Dec. 10,
preceding the meeting OF the legisla-
ture.

MONEY SITUATION IMPROVING
Importations of Gold Arriving Daily in
New York and the Crisis is
Practically Over

The latest reports from New York
city and Washington, D. c., indicate
that the national banking institutions
all over the country are in sound
condition, and the efforts of the comp
troller Of the currency to get notes into
circulation is meeting with considera-
BILE success. The calls for bank circu-
lation are so numerous that the mail
can hardly be handled by the clerks in
the Office of the comptroller. In some
of them the amounts applied for are
small, but they are scattered all over
the country and it is believed will aid
materially in relieving local pressure.
The price of U. S. bonds is frmer
now than for some time and shows an
increase of a half of per cent, indi-
eating that the banks were in the mar
ket as purchasers. From Boston came
the gratifying news that the legal re-
serve of the clearing house banks had
lost only $1,5oo,0oo during the past
week and stood considerably above the
legal requirement of 25 per cent.
The disturbances that have been
sweeping over the exchange market
and arousing concern in foreign mar
kets were indicated Tuesday by the
rise in foreign exchange in New York
considerably above the point at which
gold could proftably be imported. The
fact that it is still coming this way in
quantities indicates the determination
of Wall street bankers to strengthen
their position even at loss. The fact
that the New York market bid a suff-
cient premium for gold to absorb 300,-
600 pounds from the London market
and to Withdraw an additional amount
of 483, 1000 pounds from the Bank OF
England indicated that the increase in
the discount rate was not sufficient to
check the gold movement. Hence
arose much talk in London that the
rate would be advanced to 7 per cent
yesterday. This will be the highest
rate attained for many years, but with
$32, 100000 in gold already on the
way to New York even a higher rate at
the Bank Of England would probably
not injure materially American com
mercial interests.

RECLAIM DESERT WITH CACTUS
Another Invention of that Horticultural
Wizard, Luther Burbank

DR.. Leon Ebert Landone, who is
delivering a series of lectures in Seattle
on brain and body building, is one of
the owners of the thornless cactus, the
latest of Luther Burbank's wonderful
achievements. DR.. Landone visited
Mr.. Burbank's place last summer when
he made the announcement that the
cactus, upon which he had labored for
years, was a success. E. ]. Peabody,
OF Cluett, Peabody and Co., and F. N.
Dowd, of Los Angeles, joined with DR..
Landone in buying the several varie-
ties. The thornless cactus is won
derful plant, according to the state
ment of DR.. Landone. On favorable
soil it will produce from 300 to 500
tons of fodder to the acre. 1t possesses
three-fourths of the food value of alfalfa.
1t will flourish on desert land without
irrigation, and cattle feeding upon the
leaves do not need water. Ninety per
cent of the cactus leaf is water, said
DR.. Landone.
There are millions of acres of land
in the West which are arid or semi
arid" said DR.. Landone. These great
tracts are well suited to the growth of
the cactus. The roots draw water from
the soil from a depth of fifty feet, and
where tests have been made cattle
have thrived and grown fat without
getting a drink of water for months.
The cactus is as edible as the egg
plant, and may be prepared for the
table in much the same manner as the
egg plant. We shall have one nursery
for the cultivation OF the thornless
cactus in Mexico and another in south
ern California. The plants will be
reared as rapidly as possible and trans
planted. Good results cannot be OBJ
tanned from seed. The only method
by which the cultivation OF the plant
may be extended is by cutting slips.
Mr.. Burbank has found that seed from
his new varieties of fruilts and vegeta-
bles cannot be depended upon to pro-
duce the same quality OF plants as that
from which they were taken. l shall
shortly leave the lecture platform to
devote my attention to the thornless
cactus. ."-P. l.

mony. Only the immediate members
of the family and few intimate friends
were present. The bride is one OF
Lake Benton's most beautiful and ami
able girls and is known and highly es-
teemed by everyone in our little city.
She was born in this vicinity; grew to
womanhood in our village, graduated
in 1905 from our high school, and her
many excellent qualities need no emu
meration here. The groom was the
first station agent at Ivanhoe and while
at that place made many friends thru
out this county. At present he is Sec
retary Of a copper mining company OF
Leavenworth, Wash. He is young
man of exceptional ability, clean hab-
its, and has the energy that is bound

atives at Milwaukee, thence for a tour
thru Pennsylvania, after which they
will go their future home at Leaven-
