EMPLOYERS LIABILITY ACT VOID.
Judge Evans So Declares II In q pc

Louisville, Ky, Jan. Judge Wal
ter Evans in the federal court Mon

was given in the case of the adminis.
tratrix of N. G. Brooks VS.. the South

Cured in kansas. The husband Of
the plaintiff was killed in railroad
accident, and suit was brought under
this act for $4,000 damages and an
amount sufficient to cover the cost
Of expenses Incident to death. The
court holds in brief that the act in
effect would regulate c6mmerce with

THEY DISCUSS
LAND LAWS.
Conference Western States
on Present Status Of
the Question

DENVER, Colo, June 18.-Pursuant
to the call issued two months ago by
Governor Buchtel, the representatives
of 15 states and territories west of the
Mississippi gathered in this city to-
day to discuss the public land ques,
ton and particularly the land laws
adopted by the present federal admin.
istration.
The conference promises important
results The committee intrusted with
the work of formulating program in4
cludes among its members Senators
no, Carter of Montana, Nixon of Me-
vada, Fulton of Oregon, Kittredge Of
South Dakota, Piles of Washinton.
Clark of wyoming and Teller of Colo
RADIO. This committee has outlined the
following questions to be discussed at
the conference:
Has the United states the right to
hold the public lands in a new state
under municipal sovereignty without
the consent of the state?
When the new states were admitted.
did not the government include the
right to acquire the public lands?
The withdrawal of public lands hav-
ing been urged, does such a public
necessity exist in fact as would war
rant the large Withdrawals made?
Has the United States capacity to
engage in merchandising timber and
coal in competition with citizens?
If the United States has the power
to embark, on an extensive and monop-
olistic scale, in the development of the
public lands, would such action be in
the interests of the states?
Would the power to regulate and
control grazing upon the unappropri-
ated and unreserved lands Of the
United States retard the gradual alb
sorption of the public lands into own
ership?
Has the government the power to in
terfere with public or private enter
prises in the construction of irrigation
works and to deny such projects a
right of way over government landsi
This program is evidence in itself
that the policy of the Roosevelt ad-
ministration in regard to the public
lands is likely to come in for consid-
cradle criticism at the conference. Both
! the cattle men, who want the land fol
grazing purposes, and the land men
who want the country divided up into
farms for settlers, are opposed to the
policy of the administration in with
drawing large areas of public lands fol
forest reserves.
The friends Of the administration
however, are prepared to offer strong
opposition to any movement to turn
the conference into an anti Roosevelt
demonstration Secretary Garfield and
other officials of the interior depart
ment are on hand to explain the poll
cies of the administration.

last two years." said Miss Chamber
lain yesterday. las the law governing
public school books expired two years
ago and since then we really have had
no system of books in the schools. In
number of places books have been
introduced which suited the teachers in
charge.
1T is my Intention to have a system
of books on which a course Of study
may be based which will be of value to
the teachers of the state in their
work"
/ Book concerns to the number of rs
were represented before the commits
sion with proposals of bids for their
books. These proposals were being
opened yesterday, and today before a
full board they will be considered and

FOOD PRICES
IN KLONDIKE

| The cost of living in the Klondike
country, according to a report made
to the government by Consul &C. Cole
OF Dawson, is such as would cause
most of US poor mortals to hesitate to
migrate to that land.
1t is equally true that the rate of
wages paid for the various trades Is
somewhat higher than we in and
around this section are in the habit of
receiving for our labors, yet with all
the disadvantages of lower pay, it is
evident that when the environments
of that cold and rough country are
taken into consideration that no i'm
mediate migration may be expected
from our country.
The report of the consul shows that
native coal is worth, per ton, SIS to
$50; wood, per cord. s12 to SIS; spruce.
native undressed, per 1000 $45; fir,
imported, undressed. per 1000, $l25:

clerks, per month, $3.50 to $500.
Everything consumed In the way of
living costs from two TO three times as
much in this country as 1t does in the
United States" says the consul. There
is no articlee sold for less than %
cents, no matter how trivial, as there
is no money in circulation of lesser
denomination than that amount. The
cost of living win remain high so long
as the means of getting supplies into
the country remain as they are, aud
what is true of the Kukon territory
is true of the Yukon valley from the
Alaskan line to the coast.
