State Files Contests.

Within the next few days the
Idaho land cases-originally
suits brought by the state
against persons settling on land
in the st. Joe river country, in
Idaho, to which the state claimed
a prior right-will be heard by
the secretary of the interior,
comments the Boise Statesman.
The commissioner of the general
land office decided the case in
favor of the state and the oppo-
sition appealed to the depart
ment of the interior. Assistant
Attorney Snow has gone to
Washington to argue the cases
for the state.
Timber land to the value of
$250,000 is involved in the cases
which are very important from
many standpoints. The decision
reached by the department in
these cases probably will deter
mine its attitude on a number of
other cases of like nature. One
of the principal contestants Of
the states rights is the Northern
Pacific Railroad company, which
has filed on 10000 acres of tim
Der land claimed by the state,
and if the decisionin the pending
cases is favorable to the state
other suits of a similar nature
will be brought against the rail
road company.
In 1901 Governor Hunt applied
for a survey of certain timber
lands in the northern part of the
state for the purpose of selecting
lands for satisfying the state
school grants. The lands we're
surveyed, but it was not until
1905 that the state made its Sc
lections of about $4,000 acres,
which are now worth about
$75O,000. The selections include
some of the best white pine tim
Der land in the st. Joe district.

General Kuroki, in his recent
visit, laid a soft hand on the loud
mouth which proclaims a war
between this country and Japan
in the future. A translation OF
one of his utterances rings clear
amid the din ofmartial trumpets:
"The profession which | have the
misfortune to follow is noble on
ly because sometimes it is neces-
sary to establish conditions in
which peace may be maintained
and in which the arts OF peace
may be maintained and in which
the arts OF peace may flourish.

The governors of North Carolina and
South Carolina met at jamestown, and,
as they are both prohibitionists, they
didn't say it. Ever since Kentucky
caught the prohibition fever, things like
this have been happening all around.
