CAN NOT BE LEASED.
Auditor Nation Makes a Ruling About
School Lands.

State Auditor James NJ Nation is
sending out the following to the clerks
of the counties of western Kansas:
This is to advise you that this de-
partment, acting on the advice of the
| attorney general, who holds that chap
ter 241. laws of 1899, providing for the
leasing of school land has ceased to
have any effect; and that hereafter, the
school lands of the state cannot be
leased.
Section 1S1 of article of the consti-
tuition of the state reads as follows:
The school lands shall not be sold
unless such sale shall be authorized by
vote of the people at a general cleo
tion; but, subject to re-valuation every
five years, they may be leased for any
number of years not exceeding twenty
five, at a rate established by law
Now the law authorizing the leasing
of school lands provides for no Valua-
tion at any time. 1t is barely possible
that the school lands of the state might
have been valued at some time in the
past; If so, the first contract of lease,
made under the provisions of chapter
241, laws of 1899, would be valid, but it
is the opinion of the attorney general
that all existing leases made after the
expiration of the first five year leases
and where there has been no re-valua-
tion as required by the constitution are
null and void, and all such lands are
now open to settlement
The custom has been in many of the
western counties where there were and
are yet many acres of school lands, for
boards composed of the county treas
urer. superintendent and county COM
missioners to lease the lands under the
legislative act of 1899. Often the con-
stitutionaI law was disregarded in this
lease practice and some doubtful trans
actions pulled off. The lands were not
re-valued at the end of each lease
which was for the term of five years,
hence in leasing the land to the highest
bidder often the real value of the land
was not secured, or anything like it,.
The above opinion of the attorney
general and action of the state auditor
will put an effectual stop to the prac-
tice.

An End to Engagement of Abruzzi
and Miss ElI1ins.

Rome. Dec. 1.-The Elkins-Abruzzi
match is now at an end for all time. All
efforts to ascertain the exact reasons have
been unsuccessful, but it is evident that
they are based upon family objections on
both sides which cannot be overcome.
This information is confirmed by the
fact that the Perseverance, of Milan, a
newspaper which is regarded as the
mouthpiece of the Italian foreign office
declares the engagement is now off. ST.
multaneOusly with this publica tion the
Duke of the Abruzzi has dispatched a long
cable message to Miss Elkins, declaring
that he has been unable to remove in

Henry Steele is dead In his life
time he sold real estate and handled
fire insurance business, beside hold
ing the office of chief of police. When
ne died two months ago, it was after
a serious illness of many months, dur
ing which he neglected his business.
Nine years ago the three defendan nts
named, signed bond for Steele when
he took the North Topeka agency of
the Shawnee Fire Insurance company,
for $4,000. Shortly after his death, the
defendants were notified that Steele
was 500 behind in his accounts at the
time of his death. and that they were
held responsible. When this notice was
received by the defendants it was Just
prior to election. and the attorney for
the insurance company stated that he
would not bring suit until after cleo
tion, not wishing to injure Wiikerson,
the sheriff, in his race for a second
term. The suit was filed last Night.
The defendants will make the defense
that no bond is good more than five
years,-that the company has taken a
new bond with new bondsmen from
Steele in the meantime and is only fall
ing back on them because they have
the reputation of being property hold
ers and the easiest victims. John
Schenck. county attorney, has been
engaged to defend them in the insur-
ance company's suit.

BANKERS HIGH
BELIEF IN ELY
". ". ARMSTRONG TELLS SALT
LAKERS OF $4,000 PAY ROLL
IN THE DISTRICT AND OF
GREAT GAIN SURELY AHEAD.

W. W. Armstrong, president of the
Bank of Ely, is quoted as follows in
the Salt Lake Tribune.
The pay rolls of the camp of Ely
now aggregate $4,000 per month.
This, of course, covers the country
from the Veteran mine of the Cum
berland Ely company to the mills and
smelters at McGill. but IL shows that
enough is noy going on at the cop
per camp to make business good and
give an idea of what the future has
in store.
That Is the way w. W Armstrong
expressed himself yesterday after a
several days trip to camp. He stated
also that IL was a noticeable fact that
there was nothing like the amount
of foreign labor employed in the dis
trict that there was year ago. The
class of men employed both at the
mines and the mills and smelters. is
far ahead of what il was when the
big works were in the early stages of
construction, and the change, in the
opinion of Mr.. Armstrong, is going
TO mean great deal TO the business
interests of the communities. Bust
ness is gradually getting back to
normal, and il will not be long till
the camp is just as lively as it was
before the depression of last fall.
Mr.. Armstrong says that, while
most of the work now going on is be-
ing performed by three or four of
the larger companies. considerable is
doing outside of them, and he looks
for general renewal of operations
at great many properties during
the fall and winter months, while the
opening of the big mines and the en-
largement of the mills and smelters
will mean the gradual addition of
hundreds of more men between now
and next spring.
