In Grand Forks county: 8
Editor of the Herald: l have read
with considerable interest and more
amazement the communication of the
auditor of Grand Forks county, Hans
Anderson, IN Sundays Herald relative
to the action of the state land depart
ment. In the first place / desire to
characterize Mr. Anderson's statement
that the board of university and school
lands does not desire to make farm
loans as plain misstatsment of facts.
There has never been a time in the
last five years that / have been a
member of this board that we have not
been glad to make such loans. Al
though because of certain restrictions
PLACED upon this board by the con
stitution, we have not been able to
make them as expeditiously as appli-
cants sometimes desired, and because
of the statutory limitation of $1,000
loan to one individual, prior to March
j, 1907. comparatively few loans have
been made; but the, last legislature.

had the pleasure of assisting Senator
Strom in drafting the present law

percent to 5 and raised the amount

Limitation of the loan to one-third the

This was done OF Thursday, Dec. 5,
and the following conditions confront
ed the board. Il.
In the permanent common school
fund on Dec. 1,1907 there was $780,.
600, in round numbers. $4,000 Of
loans were then in the hands of the
state auditor for payment. Nearly
800 applications for farm loans and
school bonds were before the board Of
university and school lands, amount
ing to over $400, 900, so it ought to be.
evident to any fair-mfnded man that
the board was up against a problem.
Why Resolution Was Passed
The institution funds and perma-
nent funds of the common schools
awaiting investment would be more
than exhausted when the bonds and
loans pending We're accepted, the cash
from recent sales will not be forth
coming until after Jan. ], 1903, so in
order that further applicants might
not be disappointed, / introduced a re-
solution, which was worded by Gov.
Burke, that owing to lack Of funds, no
more loans other than those pending
would befaccepted prior to March /.
If that action was not wise, I fail to
see wherein wisdom consists. The
board continued its, session ON Dec. 6,
and practically all pending loans were
acted upon This ought to demon
strate the desire of the board to be
fair to every interest of the state. It
is expected that by March 1 funds
will he available to resume business.
Anderson's Generalization
Further, the, board of university and
school lands is tht trustee of a vast
fund and its investment is a serious
task; how quick would such individu-
ais as Mr.. Anderson cry out if the
board was careless or Indifferent. yet
it is just such officials as he that make
the work of the board most difficult.
He mentions several loans from
Grand Forks county recall one in
particular, the Elton loan. Applica-
ton was made for $4,000, security 120
acres of land in Brenna township, APP
praised by the board, of which Mr..
Anderson is a member, at $500,
more than $50 an acre, with no build
ings. Conservative estimate of its
outside value would be $50 an acre. It
must be evident to anyone who does
not want to see our great school fund
dissipated that the board of universe
lty and school lands has some boards
of appraisal to deal with, whose judg-
ment as to value is practically worth
less. s5z ss5s
1t is probable that the land depart
ment and the board of university and
lschool lands sometimes err and for
reasonable criticism they are glad, but
for the unfair criticism that Mr.. An
3derson makes, theyshave nothing but
contempt.

Far Out of Limits of City
Old Grave Digger Recalls
Fact This Morning
ROUGH, PLAIN BOX UNCOVERED.

Workmen, digging the trench for
the sewer at Tenth and Madison
streets, dnearthed a coffin this morn
ing. Yesterday afternoon about quit
ting time Charlie Tyler, one Of the
workmen struck a box and remarked
he believed he had struck a dead
man. This morning when work was
resumed the coffin was brought TO
the surface. The casket was nothing
more than box of heavy lumber and
in box with sides and bottom two
inches thick.
Considerable excitement was ere
ated over the find, but on opening
only a few bones were found. In
quiry from Bill Lucas, colored
brought forth the information that a
cemetery was located there before
the Civil war and when Paducah was
a hamlet. Lucas dug graves there
and remembers that when Tenth
street was graded and graveled q
number of caskets were found by
workmen. AS far as could be ascer-
tanned no one has been buried there
since the Civil war.

BARRIERS ENJOIN
LICENSE BOARD
Lexington TonsOriaI Artists
Will Ascertain By What
Authority State Examiners
Collect From Them
PADUCAH SHOPS HAVE PAID

Lexington BARRIERS We're granted a
Temporary order restraining the
Board of Barber Examiners from Inn
posing and collecting a license tax
yesterday by Judge Watts Parker.
The BARRIERS dubbed together to fight
the case and the suit is brought
against William F. Brown. Walter
Frakes and John Young, members OF
the board by appointment by Che gov
ernor. Frakes is a barber in this
city and recently returned from a trip
through the state. but this morning
was the first he had heard OF any
such actioon. He is expecting to re-
ceive notice of the suit today. Ac-
cording to Frakes statement, about
20 of the BARRIERS in Lexington re-
fused to pay the license last year and
were cited.
Local BARRIERS have all paid the IL
cense for this year and they had
heard nothing of the restraining or
der. They will probably wait to see
the result of the case and not take
Immediate action.
The contention of the BARRIERS il
based on three grounds: That the Law
is unconstitutional, inasmuch as 4
seeks to- impose license tax on la
Dor; that ten days notice was no
given, as is required by the law, anC
that BARRIERS who practiced theil
trade three years before the passage
of the act are exempt from its pro
visions.
