The opinion Of The best land en-
perts in the state has been taken in
this matter, the concensus of which
Is that the land is worth more nearly
500 per acre than 81. O. L. Wal
Ter, professor of mathematics and ci-
vii engineering at the college, by
sworn affidavit, testifies from his
knowledge in the case, that the an
praisal is low. Professor Waller is
now in Washington, ID. c., being
member of the advisory committee
recently appointed by Governor A.
T. Mead TO accompany him to the ma
tons capital. where all the govern
ors of the union are now meeting in
accordance with the request recently
issued by President Roosevelt.
President Bryan stated recently
that he believed under the circun-
stances the state fand commission
would grant a reappraisal of the
land, ten thousand acres in extent:
but that rather than see the tract
sold al sacrifice Of nearly a million
dollars TO the state, the authorities
of the State College were ready to
ask the courts to enjoin the proper
parties from making the sale.

Half done stage, there IS no danger
of disturbing international peace in
that part Of The world insofar as our
influence extends.
If every country deals with the
matters between nations and also its
own internal affairs in right spirit
am sure that even arbitration will
no longer be found necessary, and
YOU will be able TO enjoy tranquility
as genuine NJ the spring days at this
beautiful spot on Lake Mohonk."

mapped out for @ months work in
the schools can be taught to the chill
dren with advantage in nine months
and that they will be better off, ply
sically and mentally at the end Of
that time than II in school for 10
months.
This leading minister shares the
opinion Of parents, teachers, doctors
and children who are in the schools.
school children can do much bet
ter work in nine months term Of
school than in 10 That is why | am
for a nine months term. Why chill
dren get tired by the end of nine
months and need a rest, and especial
y when that tenth month is in the

81 hope the school board will for
get to be economical for a little
while and win have a nine months
school term, even if they have to pay
the school teachers as though they
were teaching for 10 months"

board, speaking of the matter to a
Herald reporter said: 81 am not in
favor Of nine months year and pay
ten months salary therefor. | be-
lieve 1t is a business proposition with

Editor Herald We most heartily
concur with Mr.. Matterson and MI.
Banks as to the policy of having nine
months school instead of ten months.
If the members OF the school board
and Supt. Reed had to treat as many
nervous wrecks as we do among
teachers and those who have been
teachers for many years and also
among children, they would lose no
time in shortening the school year
to nine months This 'cramming pro-
cess" of the youth of our land. at
the expense of health, is nothing
short of criminal action. What AM

Charles o. Worley, Indian agent
ut the Occur d'Alene reservation,
was in the federal court yesterday

taken and many inquiries are
heard these days as to the pros
pective opening for settlement Of
theS reservation, and Mr.. Worley
gives the following information:
"The Occur d'Alene reservation
contains 100000 acres, of which
approximately 100000 acres will
be allotted to the Indians on the
basis of 100000 acres for every
man, woman and child on the res
ervation, leaving 100000 acres for
settlement. There are at the pres.
ent about 600 Indians ON the reser-

the town of st Maries, Idaho. 240

120 acres.

grow almost any kind of crops.
"W. b. Sans, the allotting agent
of the government, is now engaged
IN making the allottments to the
Indians. This work will be com.
pleted before the first of the com
ing year. after which the opening
of the reservation can be made at
any time on the publication of an
order to that effect by the presi
dent. The Indians are given their
choice in the selection of homesites
but as rule are retaining their
