Albuquerque, N. M, Sept 14AWilliam
j. Bryan, democratic candidate for presi-
dent. in a letter to Colonel WIS. Hopewell,
Chairman Of the Board of Control gives

al Irrigation Congress, Albuquerque n.
NJ. September 29-October l0,as follows:
Il thank you for the invitation to the
Sixteenth National Irrigation Congress and
regret exceedingly that it will be impos-

YOU that am in hearty sympathy with
every effort that has been, or can be, put
forth for the reclamation Of our arid lands
While have been investigating irriga-
ton in this country for nearly twenty
years and have examined some of the
plants Of the old world, think ! was
never more impressed by the possibilities
Of irrigation than was when ! visited
southern Idaho last year after an absence
of ten years. The marvellous change that
water was wrought in the deserts along
the Snake river can hardly be described

|GLAIMS F|FTY-TWO
NOT ENROLLED
MAKES PUBLIC REPORT OF
COMMISSIONER WRIGHT
EFFORT TO REOPE" ROLLS.
inmates of Orphan Asylums And
Many Minors and Freedmen
Are Among Those Seeking
to be Enrolled.

Washington, Sept. .,14-The commissioner
If Indian affairs has made public report
made to him by j. George Wright, COM
missioner to the Five Civilized tribes,
under date Of November IS, 1907, con-
cerning ffty-two members of the five
Atribes who should have been, but were
not. included in the citizenship rolls OF
those tribes and to whom land should
have been, but was not, allotted under the
general congressional enactment for such
enrolment and allotment. These data are
important to the claimants, and already
the attorneys of many of them have ex-
erted themselves to gain access to the
document, but hitherto without success.
The report has been guarded because of
the difficulties standing in the way OF re-
opening the rolls for it is realized that if
another opportunity is offered, many In
dams whose claims are not so clear nor so
meritorious as the fifty-two viii seek to
nave themselves included in the favored
lists. There are quite number in addi-
ton to those who make claim to citizen
ship, including many disaffected fullbloods
and some inmates Of orphan asylums
whose cases were not thoroughly investi
gated by the commission. 1t is considered
probable that there will be an effort to
have conoress or the courts reopen the
rolls. The Indian bureau has not deter
mined upon any recommendation as to
the course to be pursued.
Many of the tifty-two cases covered by
the Wright report are those Of minor chill
dren and freedmen.

New School Rulings Handed Down by
State Superintendent.

School boards cannot enforce a
provision in a teachers contract
by which the district board re
serves the right to dismiss d
teacher if satisfaction is not
given. The statutes prescribe the
means of dismissing a teacher.
The district board cannot legal
ly change the length of the school
term from that provided by the
district meeting.
1t is the duty of the commits
sioner of the poor to provide
school books for pupils whose
parents are by reason of poverty
too poor to provide them. These
officials are the township trustees
and the mayors of incorporated
cities. tits the duty of the board
of county commissioners to allow
the bills if they are reasonable.
Teachers are entitled to pay
for THANKSGIVING, Christmas and
New Years day when school is
dismissed on those days.
New districts shall not be form
ed by the county uperintendents
after the tax rolls are made up.
The taxes cannot be divided be-
tween the new district and the
old school district in the middle
of the school year.
The provision that parents
shall be allowed not to exceed
fifteen cents a day for each con-
veyance when they live over
three miles from school means
that a reasonable amount must
be paid, not exceeding fifteen
cents, and usually fifteen cents
will be reasonable amount.
The proceeds of bonds cannot
be used for other purposes than
that for which the bonds were
issued. The surplus should re-
main in the bond fund to pay in
terest on the bonds, or to be APP
piled on paying off the bonds.
School boards have no author
ity to require pupils to be vacci-
mated, and they cannot exclude
children from school on account
of their refusal to be vaccinated.

Several non-residentS who
either hold interests in Rocks
county or expect to, have no.
ticed the expression, How
many good crops have you raised
in the last fifteen years?" in add
vertisement in this paper and
have become more or less a.
Harmed, getting the idea that this
county was getting so it didn't
raise any crops. Rocks county
is no garden of Eden and never
claimed to be, but we can't for
the life of US think of farmer
who has stayed by this country
for the past fifteen years and
used ordinary horse sense in the
management of his affairs who
isen't on easy street now.
The steady increase in value of
the land has been a source of
wealth to many, as a succession
of good crops has continually ad-
ded to selling prices. This was
not in the nature of a boom, as it
has continued in and out of sea-
son.
There are lands in the east
and in the irrigated west that
raise more to the acre than
Rocks county land but they cost
from $50 to S13O an acre more
than our farms and do not pro-
duce sufficient additional crops
per acre to make up the diffe-
renee. Now, right here the edi-
tor of this paper wants to say
that this is no slam on the Texas
lands that have been heavily adj
vertised here. People who went
to Texas come back and say that
every word printed about those
lands is true and that there's lots
of good things there that were
not mentioned in the ads. But
Kansas continues to make far
mers rich just the same. Stock

Arkansas had a greater variety
of hogs and less pork and lard
than any state in the union. An
average hog in Arkansas weighs
about fourteen pounds dressed
with it's head on and about six
pounds and half with it's head
off 1t can outrun a greyhound,
jump a rail fence, climb like a
parrot and live on grass roots
and rabbit tracks. 1t hasn't
much tail or bristle, but plenty
of gall. 1t will lick wolf or a
bear in fair fight. It is called
razorback because it is shaped
like a sunfish. In hunting a
razorback it is always shot at
sideways, for there is not a
ghost of a show to hit it other
wise, any more than to shoot at
split single. 1t can drink
milk out of quart jar on account
of it's long, thin head. This type
of razOrback is known as the
stone hog because it's head is so
heavy and it's nose so long that it
balances up behind The owner
of this type of hog usually ties a
stone to it's tail to keep it from
overbalancing and breaking it's
neck while running. If the stone
is too heavy it will pull the skin
over it's eyes, and it will go blind.

A Young Man and His Mother.

A young man, graduate Of one Of
our leading universities, put an end
to his Life last Tuesday in Philadel-
phia lodging house. He had no mon
ey and was out Of work. A letter
found beside his body, addressed to
his mother, begged her forgiveness
and God s for a wasted life. The news
dispatch laconieally says, "His moth
er was informed Of his death and is
expected from New York tonight. -
Instead of writing that letter to his
mother and giving his wrecked life
back to the mercy of God, that young
man should have prayed to God and
gone home to his mother. He may
have had no money and no work-he
had his mother. AS long as he had
her he had incalculable riches. He
may have drifted, vagrant and dere-
Iict. down to the gates Of hell; her
motherlove would follow after him
and find him there. Filled with the
husks that swine rejected, latter
demalion, returning from p far coun-
try-she would have welcomed-not
the prcdieal son. but her son, the son
of her loving life and living love.
A son may forget that his mother
loves him, but his mother does not
forget. She will 60 as far as to the
foot of the gallows tree with him,
and after that will intercede with
heaven. For she went to the very
gate Of death for him when he came
into the world-and when he comes
to die, however shameful in the eyes
Of man may be his exit from the
world, her soul goes with him as he
goes, and speaks to God for him.
