The Legislature, upon the report and
recommendation Of joint committee
appointed to investigate the State g
rights concerning the disposition of
school lands in this State, appropriates
$4,000 to be expended BY the State
Land Board in securing counsel to rep
resent the State in maintaining the
State s right to dispose Of It's school
lands in such manner as it may see 1T,
and TO defray such other expenses in
the premises as might be necessary.
This action on the part Of the State
was made necessary because some time
ago the State sold TO A. A. Sweet Of
Salt Lake, a tract of land, which the
Government maintained was school
land, and last fall commenced an action
against Sweet TO annul the sale In
this case the State deemed III its duty
to maintain the title In Sweet by com
ing IN as an interyenor, and If that can
not be done, TO maintain and fight the
case for him. In this action IL will be
sought To determine what is and what
1t not coal land, to settle which e1-
pert testimony will be employed, both
by the Government and the State. The
result of this suit will be far-reaching
in its effect if, AZ is hoped. it will be
the means Of ascertaining what portions
of the school sections are nnderlaid
with coal. 1t is not yet determined
just when this case will be tried
On Thursday the State Land Board
held q meeting to determine upon coun-
sci TO represent the State, and it is un-
derstood negotiations were entered into,
by which it. is thought that the serv-
ices Of Dickson, Ellis, Ellis & Schulder
have been secured. This firm has given
counsel on the subject to the presid ent
of the Board, and it is safe to conclude
that satisfactory arrangements will be
made today with the firm, whereby 1t
will take charge of the case as the at
torney-general, associate counsel.

Antics of Bias-Eyed Celestials

Many who attended the matinee per-

gazed in wonderment at a sort of der
rick which the bias-eyed Celestials were
erecting on Commercial avenue in front
Of one Of the Chinese stores Some
coniectured that it was an Oriental
scaffold and expected momentarily to
see some Chinese culprit dangling from
the beam, Others thought that it was
an apparatus used by some Chinese
juggler in doing the high dive. But
scrutiny Mt short range showed that
it was, after all, but rickety affair

of this beam was fastened pulley
which was threaded with thin rope. AS
soon as this was fastened into place
some five or six Celestials enjercd the
building and brought forth box filed
with fire crackers and cardboard dra-
gon heads. The end Of the rope was
then fastened to one of the heads. and
this was hoisted to the top Of the der
rick. Fastened to the head was thick
string OF fire crackers and the whole
affair had the appearance of huge
sea monster. A Chinaman touched a
lighted match TO the extremity of its
tail and the noise which followed was
a perfect imitation of the taking Of
Pekln. Six or eight of these monsters
were consumed IN making Chinese
holiday and when the noise ceased one
of the Cinnamon was heard TO remark
that the fire crackers had cost 500.
The spokesman Of the crowd was ap-
