BOY IS SUDDENLY
STRICKEN BLIND.

TROY, Idaho, Aug. II, - While
handling fruit boxes at his father S
warehouse, Ora l.. Duthie, son of
former Mayor W. NJ. Duthie, was
suddenly stricken with blindness.
Thinking the attack temporary and
caused probably from over exertion he
was taken at once to Spokane to a
specialist who, after several hours
examination, pronounced the case
incurable. DR.. Thomas of Spokane
says the case is rare one, deep-seated
and arising from no apparent cause.
1t comes suddenly and without warning.
While not entirely blind, young Duthle
can distinguish only large objects, and
barely can see his way along the
sidewalk. While the Spokane specia-
list can give the boy no hope of a
return of his sight, they are working
to make his present condition of semi
sight permanent.

JUDGE AND MARSHAL
IN JAIL.

SUSANVILLE, CAL, Aug. H.
The town marshal in custody of the
sheriff for contemp of court, and the
county judge under arrest for assault
and battery on charge preferred by
citizen, and also smarti.g under the
odium of a charge of over indulgence
in liquor, is the extraordinary condition
prevailing in Susanville.
The trouble began with a street
alteration between Judge F. A. Kelly,
of the superior court, and Humboldt
Ward, who clerks in a store owned by
the sh, riff.
City marshal Arthur E. Long
separated :he combatants by seizing
the judge and throwing him to the side
walk. This was more than the dignity
of the judge would stand, and he issued
an order for the arrest of the city mar
shal and afterwards found him guilty
of contempt of court and fined him
$500.

State Lands Sell High.

During the past few days quantity
of state land in the southern part of
Douglas county was advertised for
sale and during its recent sale brought
some extra good prices, we'll up from
appaisements. In section 16-15-23,
on the Columbia rivep near the cross
ing of the c. M. & St. P. Ry., the
state appraisers reported the land as
suitable for pasture and worth no more
than the minimum price of $40 per
acre. But apparently some prospec-
tive townsite locaters got busy, for
one 81 900 tract went for s., 900, 80
acres appraised at $500 brought 81, 500
and 156 acres sold for "a, 900 instead Of
81, 156.

ance policy and will guarantee the title
to be vested in some one as the records
appear, and they will forever stand
behind the guarantee, making the
purchaser of the certificate entirely
safe in his purchase.
The company IS a $500, 900 corpora
tion and is composed of number of
the representative men ofWestern Iowa
and Spokane. The manager of the
company, Mr.. H. A. Gonwan, was
manager of a like company at Los
Angeles for number of years, while
Mr.. c. E. Oggle/ the principal attor-
ney for the company. who passes on all
papers guaranteed by the company is
a lawyer who has been we'll educated
in law and has had years of practice
in guarantee title Offices in California.
Three other attorneys will be kept
busy in the office.
In sections where there are companies
of this class the certificate of title
is much preferred to the abstract, as
it embodies in one instrument, an
abstract and attorneys opinion and a
guarantee of title, and costs no more
than an abstract.
If there is a cloud on your title or
you are not just satisfied that the title
to your property is clear this company
will look it up and straighten it out
for you at a reasonabl, figure.
The manager of the new company
will be glad to explain the certificate
of title to any one who is interested.

COMMISSION WILL
GET ITS MONEY,
Land Commissioner Ross Shows that
$I.OO0.OO0 Appropriation for
Alaska.YukOn. Pacific Exposition
IS Available.

oedtIie, Aug q. Ahd1 IhciS Will
be little trouble for the Washington
State Commission to the Alaska
Yukon Pacific Exposition to secure
S., ZOO, 900 from the sale of Lake Union
and Lake Washington shore lands was
pointed out by land Commissioner E.
W. Ross at the dinner given in honor
of the commission by Jacob Furth at
the Rainier Club, Friday, August 9th.
Commissioner Ross spoke for nearly
an hour and the manner in which he
handled his subject convinced everyone
of his hearers that he knew absolutely
to the minutest detail just exactly
what he was talking about. His
emphatic assertion that the lands in
Lake Union and Lake Washington
covered by the exposition enactments
of the 1907 Legislature are easily
81, 900, 900 in hard money, and that
there is no reason why the University
regents or the State Commission should
hesitate moment to proceed, was
enthusiastically received and was
regarded as the turning point in the
history of the exposition. Coming
from Commissioner Ross, it was accep-
ted as conclusive that the State of
Washington has made good with the
Exposition and that is now up to the
local corporation, the University
regents and the State Commission to
see that the exposition is opened COM
plete on the first day.
Following are the most important
points Commissioner Ross made plain !:
The 1907 session of the Washington
legislature would not have made a
direct appropriation of more than
$3.50, 900 out of the general fund for the
Alaska Yukon-Pacific Exposition.
| The Piper acts are in effect direct
appropriation of 81, 900. 900 out of the
general fund for the Exposition and
the money is ava liable.
1t is not only the privilege. but the
duty of the University Regents and
State Commission, to proceed with
Exposition work under the Piper acts
of 1907. The acts are mandatory.
The Exposition fund of $1,000, 900
will not be lessened by interest pay
ments on warrants, as the state has
provided for interest charges.
The State authorities appraised the
Lake Union lands at so per cent Of
their actual value and the lands are
today worth 81. 500, 900.
All appeals from the lake land ap-
raisements will be pushed to final
determination when the Superior Court
of King County resumes work in Sep
tember.
There is no contest over the right of
the State to sell the lake lands. The
only contest is between abutting own
ers as to who shall buy the overfowed
lands.
Whether an exposition were held
or not the overfowed lands would have
been appraised and sold, the only
difference being that the purchasers
would have been given ten years,
instead of three years to pay up.
Seattle is not bearing the entire
burden of the Exposition though its
citizens have preference rights to buy
the lake lands. The lands belong to
the State and the State is doing its
share.
