ADVANCING VALUES.

Under the constitution of the
state of Idaho not more than %
sections of the state lands can be
sold in any year for not less than
80 per acre. This refers to the
land grants made by congress for
the support of our public schools,
and other educational, charitable
and penal institutions. The fact
that in the II years since the ad-
mission of Idaho as a state, none OF
these lands have fetched less than
$40 per acre, while in many instan-
ces the price has reached s75 per
acre, shows how rapidly the price
of land Of almost any kind is adj
vsncing in the state OF Idaho.
There is never any lack of interest
in these sales Of the state lands.
Under the Carey act, congress
voted the state of Idaho one million
acres, of which 10000 acres are
already segregated under different
irrigation projects, while other
projects coming in will call for
much more than the 200, 900 acres
not yet segregated. The extent Of
the demand upon the public and
state domain is thus apparent, and
it is cafe to cay that the next GEN.
sus will again show that the State
of Idaho has made larger increase
in population than any other state
in the Union. In the decade from
1890 to 1900 the increase in our pop
ulation was 1876 per cent. From
the general public knowledge az
ascertained by the increased growth
in all other lines OF business and
industry, it is conjectured that the
census returns of 1910 will show
another increase Of even greater
proportions than was chronicled in
the prior decade. 'Rah for Idaho,
the most rapidly growing state in
the Union.

Gen. Kurokia has never learned
English, and THE fact might prove
very inconvenient some time, for
the reason that Great Britain and
Japan entered into an offensive

ago.
There are probably very few
American officers who can talk Jap

difficult language to learn, and
until within the last three or four
years there has not appeared TO be
any particular reason for them

In these days, when Japan ia

that she does not entertain any
friendly sentiment toward this
country, it might be we'll for a
goodly number Of United States
officers to get on speaking terms
with the Japanese language.

that there we're far more japanese

RGssians who could talk Japanese

REGARDING FOREIGN LAM
CUACES.

During Gen. Kuroki's visit to
the United States some surprise
was expressed that the famous
commander could not talk any
English.
1t is supposed that the majority
OF the younger officers in the jap
anese army have q knowledge OF
the Anglo-Saxon tongue, but prob
ably Gen. Kuroki got his training
at q time when the Japanese were
not devoting much atten ton to
languages.
Since the United States became

been given the English language,
for it is found that in almost all

Elk City and Wagon Road.

Representative Surridge in a re-
