The cause of action as developed
IN the trial was Halls alleged con-
nivance in a scheme whereby the
Butte Creek Land & Livestock
Co. illegally acquired 10000 acres
Of land in eastern Oregon. Heney
accused Hall of collision in failing
IS district attorney to prosecute
the company. The Burke-0oslin
and the Claude Thayer land fraud
cases were introduced as evidence
of Halls guilty inactivity in pro-
tecting government interests. Had
Hall acted, 1t was contended, the
government would have been saved
q vast tract of land and the prose-
cution Of prominent men would not
have been necessary.
In his closing argument Heney
scored Hall for his laxity and held
that the conviction of district at
torney for failure to proceed
against crime would be more bene-
hficial to the cause of good govern
ment than the punishment Of hun
dreds of ordinary offenders. He
ney also charged that in addition
TO protecting his friends implicated
in land frauds Hall had tried to
block investigation by having He
ney removed from the Office Of

VALUE OF PRESENCE OF MINE

VALUE OF PRESENCE OF MIND.
There are many times In ones life
where nothing proves Of so great value
as mere presence of mind, as often the
preservation Of ones life depends upon
the exercise of it. During the past two
months we have read Of several drown
ing accidents which might have been
aNerted had those precipitated into the
water had the forethought to- carefully
break thin ice near, to them until they
could get hold Of that which would
support their weight. OF even more
frequent occurrence are deaths due to
burning, where life might often be
saved If instead Of rushing out Of
doors, as seems to be the natural in
stinct of all who find their clothes aire,
one would make for the water pail or
grasp the nearest coat or blanket and
wrap it tightly around the body, max
ing the fewest motions and going the
shortest possible distance. Rushing
out into the open simply creates draft
that fans the blaze and. intensifies it
many fold. True, it is far easier to
give than to follow advice like the
above, but in any event the points men
toned are worth remembering.

PRACTICAL EDUCATION NEEDED.
OF the many subjects given COM
prehensive treatment in President
Roosevelt's message to congress per-

recommending the establishment Of
practical Industrial schools for boys in

cism that the present educational sys-

boy largely matter Of literary de-

or less impractical can hardly be gain

WANTS 4 Low PRlcEo GlaH1Y.

yoau q resident Of California, writes
% that be has succeeded IN saving q
sum Of money which be wishes to In

erably, which win be suitable for grain
and stock raising. So many Of the best
tracts Of land have been taken up in
the past two or three years that we
are at q loss to know what advice to
give him, for so much depends upon
other considerations than the mere
price at which such land can be OBJ
tanned. His preference is South Da-
kota, where there is little doubt that
the desired land can be obtained. All
kinds Of cheap land can be secured In
the central and western parts Of the
state, but there Is great risk from
drought in dry seasons If it IL located
west of the ninety ninth meridian,
which is commonly accepted as the ag-
ricultura1 dead line. It would be far
safer and better to pay higher price
for land east Of this line than less for
that lying west. Before buying land
anywhere, were we in our correspond
ent's place, we should take trip not
only into South Dakota. but also look
over Indian Territory, Kansas, Nebras-'
ka and Oklahoma, where alfalfa is at
home and one Of the best possible aids
in all kinds Of stock raising. All the
considerations that go to make life In a.
locality enjoyable or burdensome should
be taken into account. Having looked
over the physical condition Of the sew
eral localities thoroughly and taken
these other matters into account as
fully as possible, our friend will be able
