Million Dollars to Aid in Its Re-

Washington, Jan. Startling in
formation of alleged astounding frauds
upon the public lands has come into
the possession of Secretary Garfield
through special agents. The allega-
ton is made that approximately S1l0,-
900, 900 worth of lands in states, prin-
cipally west of the Mississippi river,
have been acquired fraudulently within
the last two years, by corporations
and individuals.
With a view to recovering these
lands, Secretary Garfield sent letters
yesterday to Chairman Hale and
Chairman Tawney, of the senate and
hou appropriation committees, re-
spectively, asking for an additional APP
preparation of $500, goo, which, if
granted, with that already asked for
will give the department $1,000 600
for that purpose.
Secretary Garfield also submits a
statement Of H. H. Schwartz, chief of
the field service, showing over $4,000
distinct cases of alleged land frauds
demanding further investigation. Of
such cases awaiting investigation
there are in Oregon 1,462; California
and Nevada, 1,4O9; Washington and

Colorado, 1921; Arizona, 1876; Wy

AT the height of two miles the sun
shines with fierce intensity unknown
below. where the dust and the denser
air scatter the rays. which, thus diff
fused. lose their intensity while illu-
mining every nook and corner Of our
houses. At heights exceeding five miles
this diffused light is mostly gone, and
the sun shines a glowing ball, sharply
outlined In a sky of which the blue is
so dark as to approach blaekness- AT
the outer limits Of the atmosphere the
sun would appear a brilliant star OF
massive size among other stars, and If
one stepped from its burning rays into
shadow he would enter Egyptian dark
ness. At the height Of mile and a
half we found it necessary to shelter
our faces to prevent sunburn, although
the air around us was but little warm
er than that Of the previous night, be
ing about 40 degrees. As the afternoon
wore on and the balloon began TO COO
and sink we were obliged to throw out
much sand, casting It away a scoopfu
at time, and just after sunset it was
even necessary to empty two or thres
bags at once.-H. II. Clayton, in At

WOOL POOL FAILS.
Buyers Cffer High Prices and Break
Proposed Combine.

Pocatello, Idaho, Jan. 18.-Chief
Forester Pinchot turned down two invi-
tations to attend the convention of the
National Woolgrowers' association,
which adjourned in this city Saturday.
Mr.. Pinchot's refusals were based on
what he termed the selfish and narrow
policy of the association toward the
government forestry service.
On final showdown on the Chicago
wool storage proposition it was found
that the signatures to the Chicago con-
tract were A, 500, 600 pounds short Of
the required 25, 900, 600 pounds neces-
sary to insure the Chicago market. AT
meeting of those already signed up
it was found to be impossible to secure
pledges Of the required amount among
delegates present at the Pocatello con-
vention, and campaign will be inaug-
urated on the outside.
Wool buyers from Chicago and St
Louis have been active during the con
vention in buying the 1909 clip al
from Is to 81 cents. Many woolgrow.
ers, heretofore considered as stauncf
supporters of the Chicago plan, have
contracted their clips to private buy
ers, allured by the remarkable prices
Ogden was selected as the next place
of meeting.

For all the educational system seems
TO be aware, every boy who enters the
primary grades expects TO graduate,
spend four years in high school, pass
on TO college and eventually become a
professional or business man, says
Rheata Childe DOR in the Delineator.
The schools do not seem to know that

sion earn their living. That thousands
upon thousands Of children. girls as
well as boys, are obliged by the hard
conditions Of life TO 90 to work with
their hands at the age Of IA seems to
be utterly unknown.
The best proof that the educational
system has Jagged behind Is the fact
that 1t Is impossible to induce the great
majority Of children to remain in school
a day longer than the law obliges then
to. They flee from the school room al
IA, most Of them to go to work. and
the rest Of them to learn work. They
want to learn TO live. and they are mob
At the time the public school system
was placed on a national basis all the
educators were agreed on one common
ideal, which was that the schools must
be democratic. Courses of study must
be founded on the theory Of the abso-
lutte equality Of all American citizens.
Therefore the curriculum was arranged
as a series Of ladders. leading from the
primary school to the grammar school
from the grammar school to the high
school; from the high school to college,
and from college to the White House.
This was intended to be a demo
cratic program. 1t was, in fact, entire
ly aristocratic, since it redounded to the
advantage Of the children Of the pros.
porous and the intellectual classes.
Fully % per cent of school children
never advance beyond the grammar
school, and less than per cent Of higt
school pupils pass on to college.
Now a truly democratic system OF

CT Sin Black Hand Men.

Pi tsburg, Jan. 19.-Word was re-
ceived here today of the arrest yester-
day of six members of an alleged Black
Hand organization, after a desperate
struggle at Ellsworth, east of this
city. Three other members of the
gang escaped, but two of them were
captured today and third was shot
and wounded. Mrs. Yannaccia, q
wealthy Italian woman, received a
letter Saturday from a Black Hand
society instructing her TO give up $500.
Nine foreigners appeared to get the
money and were met by the police.
