Many State Land
Eorfeitures Made
The Law Governing Forfeitures is
Said to Be Defective and Should
Be Amended.

Purchasers of state lands failing to
make annual payment last Wednesday,
the last day on which annual payments
could be made, will find themselves out
OF possession OF such land and without
remedy to collect any payments that
have been made by them.
'srhis is poor law" said Register
Church, "and ought to be amended.
The law was passed by the legislature in
1908 repeating that clause OF the old law
which provided that such lands forfeited
through failure to make annual payment
could he redeemed by making delinquent
payments and 10 per cent ane IL done
before the land was again placed on the
market by the government. The new
law provides for nothing in this respect,
the purchaser of state land taking the
chance of losing all that he has invested
in the lands through failure to make any
one Of the Is annual payments which
are provided under the new law in place
of 10 annual payments of the principal
and interest on deferred payments az
under the dlaw."
"There are gcing to be more forfeit
ures Of land tnan expected, bat | am
not in position to state how much
this will amount to yet" said Mr..
Church in reply to question relative
to the number of acres affected. There
will be more lorfeitures of lands pur-
chased from the state this year than
there was last, but in proportion to the
number Of acres purchased from the
state this year, the number will not ex-
ceed that of last year as there was a larg,
er sale of state lands this year.-Cap

The supreme court has denied re-
hearing in the case Of Johnson vs.. John.
son, an appeal from the Lincoln county
district court, affirming probably the
most important opinion that has been
handed down by that body within the
past year. The issue involved is the ri.
parian ownership OF islands bordering
upon navigable streams, and the find.
ing ia that a riparian owner owns all
land to the middle OF stream, except
In case OF surveyed islands.
OF the many islands in the Snake riv-
er, which is classified by the supreme
court as navigable stream, there are
few that nave been surveyed and it has
not been until the last few years that
any of them have been surveyed at all /,
These islands range in size from few
acres to sometimes as puch as ld0 acres,
and many of these that are unsurveyed
are improved farms and have been the
homes OF settlers for years. the settlers
expecting eventually to obtain little
when once surveys had been IN lde so
that they could formally make entry.
In the opinion which was affirmed by
the action of the court in denying a re-.
hearing it was held that these squatters

measure respected by the interior de

SAVAGE ANCESTORS
Gave Us Our Character Traits, Says Ernest Thompson Seton
 in a Lecture
MEN DEM0RALlzED DOGS"
College Street Hall Crowded to Hear Distinguished Lecturer on Wild
 Ways of Tame Animals.

Ernest Thompson Seton delivered the second of the University ENten- sion lectures in College street hall last night. his subject being Wild Ways of Tame Animals" By the tanc ani- mals Mir. seton meant mere man
 His lecture was largely given m to showing traits of character and hah- it's that people have that are inherited from animal ancestors or half-human ancestors who lived the life of wild animals For example. fear of the dark was trait that early man or animal has given to modern man, This fear, he explained Is modified by being with others by 2 fire, or in q high place. just as half-human man or animal felt secure under the same circumstances There were numcr- ous other similar cases of human traits dnhcritcd from animal ancestors brought out during the lecture,
 The lecture was illustrated with stereoptieon views Many of these were from photographs that MT, Seton had taken himself
 The hall was darkened except for tho solitary light on the Gesk that lighted the lecturers notes Mir Seton moved about the platform as he lectured His voice sounding through the semi darkness, and tho dull hum that the crowded hall gave forth. lent an air of mystery to the place that made all of the points of inherited instincts seem more real One could almost fancy that the corners of the hall were filled with the two Eleamlng eyes of animals
 Mir Seton spoke Of domestic aui- mals as well as man. The traits of ancestry were shown in the cat, dog horse and monkey
 The descent of the horse from the zebra wild horse of Africa and the Arabian steed was shown The dog g descent from the wolf was spoken of and the collie was mentioned as the best example of the original type The audience was q little startled tc he told that man has dem orali2ed the dog by domesticating him
 The lecturer told of many forest ad- ventures with wild animals. some of them being Illustrated. One of the most thrilling was about h falling-ln with q wildcat, when MT, Seton came near coming out Of 1t second best.
 A rare entertainment was afforded those who heard this unique lecture.
