Special to Times Republican.
Council Bluffs, Dec. 14.-Attorney
General w. H. Byers personally filed
a suit in district court here, the pur-
pose Of which is to determine whether
the state of Iowa has free title to lake
and river beds, or whether, under the
act by which the state was admitted
to the union, it acquired only juriris-
diction over lakes and rivers. Title to
about $50 acres of land formerly the
bed Of Boyer lake, is involved tn the
suit. The state of Iowa appears as
plaintiff in the proceeding and the de-
PENDANTS are Carrie Livingston, H. B.
Jennings and c. A. Beno.
Boyer lake was once a considerable
body of water which dried up gradual
ly and disappeared many years ago.
For possibly twenty-five years the
owners of the land which originally
surrounded the lake have occupied and
farmed what was once the lake bed
Interest attaches to the spresent suit
because the process by which Boyer
lake has become dry land is the same
as that which is taking place all along
the Missouri river bottom, where
changes in the course of the stream
have left inland lakes, and is of. gem
eral interest n
The property owners occupying the
former Boyer lake bed have sought to
quiet title to the land which they have
taken possession of, but encountered
the question of whether the state had
rights in the property by reason of the
fact that it was once the bed of a
lake. The matter was referred to Attor-
ney General Byers, who concluded that
the state had no interest. Some differ
ence of opinion developed, however
and it was deemed best to have the
matter determined in the courts. And
inasmuch as the property owners could
not implead the state in an action Of
the character contemplated, the state
now brings suit to quiet it's title, and
thus raises the questions desired to be
settled.

COURT SAVES WOODBURY. couN.

DETERMINATION.
IMPORTANT RULING MADE
REGARDING CONSENT PETITION
Court Holds That Latest Petition, Al
tho Circulated Within Year Of Ac-
ceptance Of FIRST, is Valid-Anti-sa-
loon League Loses-other News Of
the State.

Sioux City, Dec. 4.-Saving the lives
of all the Woodbury. county saloons
outside of Sioux City and saving to
the county liquor dealers thousands
of dollars, Judge Frank r. Gaynor in
district court dismissed the petition of
Rev, III. H. Sawyer, superintendent OF
the Woodbury. County Anti-Saloon
League. the granting of which would
have meant the immediate closing of
every thirst parlor in the county with
the exception of those located within
the limits of Sioux City.
The petition was filed against v.
E. .Steinman, proprietor of a saloon
at Gushing. 1t asked that Steinman
be enjoined from further engaging
in the liquor business on the ground
that the petition of consent under
which he was conducting his saloon
was illegal.
Sawyer's contention was that the
petition of consent, which was cir
culated early in 1902, was invalid in
that it had been circulated less than
twelve months after the circulation of
former petition of consent. Stein
mans defense was that the law, in
using the term year means a
calendar year The first petition
was circulated late in 1901. the
second early in 1902. tSteinman's
contention was upheld.
Similar suits We're filed against
all other saloonkeepers of the
county outside of Sioux City. The
same ruling will be made regarding
all of them Sawyer will appeal to
the supreme court 1t will be the
first time that anybody will have
been called to pass on the question

REvoLuTIoNlzE ORE MINING.
Two Oskaloosans Invent Machine Of
Apparently Great Utility.


Oskaloosa. Dec. 13.-Altho until now
practically unknown, there exists in
Oskaloosa the largest concentrator and
separator for gold and other ores In the

cessful as apparent from recent tests.
will not only revolutioniZe certain
phases of the mining industry. but Will
at once place on commercial basis
the production of gold from the
Adirondack sands In New York state.
The presence of gold in these sands has
been known for years, but the process
of its production has never advanced
beyond the prospective state because
of the expense of crushing the entire
output of sand. The new machine elm
| mates 80 per cent of this expense by
separating and concentrating the ore
which is richest in gold from the
worthless sands.
The inventors of this machine are
w. l.. Mclaughlin, a mining engineer
and practical mill man and successful
inventor. who resides here with his
sister, Mrs. George T. Brown, and
| Thomas II. Sewers, a well known
| Oskaloosa manufacturer and mechan-
ical engineer.
The most important and distinctive
| feature of the machine is that all sizes
of ore from one fourth inch mesh to
1000 fine can be fed into 1t at different
places at once and the values eXtri-
Gated successfully. which is impossi-

IN AND OUT OF THE DAIRY.

The sticky substance in milk
known as albumen can be rinsed off
the milk pans with cold water, which
should always be used first Boiling
water will cook it on.
To make the best country butter
one must not let the cream get too
sour, nor skim sweet and put with
the sour. Let it all ripen at once
and the butter will be much better
and keep better.
AS a rule milk is unfit for use at
least two weeks before calving time
However, some cows milk seems to
be good almost up to caIying time
Milk is usually not saved for house
use until the eighth or ninth milking
afterward, although it has been known
TO be perfectly good after the fourth
milking
A woman in Illinois who makes fine
butter writes that she skins the
cream of two or three days milk to-
gether, letting it all sour at one time,
and churns as soon as it is sour. She
makes pound rolls, and her butter al
ways commands the highest price, her
customers preferring it to creamery
butter.

Farmers Should Raise Feeders.

When farmers buy feeder cattle and
fatten them the chances of profit are
usually smaller than in the case of
those who raise their feeders This ap-
plies to sheep and hogs, too. Stu
dents of the livestock industry are
coming to believe that the most sue
cessful meatmakers in the future will
be farmers who raise their own feed
ers. There are times when shrewd
man can go on the market and buy
feeder cattle or sheep at prices which
will almost surely make him money.
But comparatively few men are good
buyers.

COOL CREAM BEFORE SOU2S.
Greatest Objection to Hand SePa-
rator Is That Fluid Sours Too
Soon Before Delivery.

One of the greatest objections
urged against the hand separator is
that the cream gets too sour before
being delivered to the creamery. This
condition is brought about by not
properly cooling the cream and keep
ing il cool while on the farm. With
such soured cream in all stages and
conditions, it is an impossibility TO
ripen it properly so as to make
a flrst-class article of butter.
Dairy authorities continually urge
the cooling of cream as soon as sepa-
rated, and not to mix fresh, warm
cream with cold cream. The advice
is good and must be followed TO pro-
duce a choice grade of cream, either
for the creamery or the private dairy.
But it seems that very little is ever
said about how this cooling should
be done or the methods or utensils
necessary for cooling cream on the
farm. Many let their cream set and
cool the best il can, ofttimes in the
open air and dust in a room or cellar
where many offensive odors abound.
Cooling by contact with cold water
is the only method that will rapidly
carry off the heat and preserve the
cream from deterioration.
The submerged can for setting milk
so largely in use before the days of
the separator produced as good
grade of cream as it is possible to
secure in any way. This. was brought
about by the rapid cooling of the
milk and cream in contact with cold
water. For large dairies, where sew
eral gallons of cream is to be cooled.
no better method could be adopted
than the large water-box and the
cooler-cans holding Az gallons, held
under the water by a Stat over the
loose, ventilated lid.

For Husbands To Read.
From the Philadelphia InolIirar

From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
 The most extraordinary book of tho fall season is a diatribe against mar riage, by an English spinster, who at- tacks the modern matrimonial system on the ground that it compels women to go into matrimony as their only trade. Even when she attempts any other she is so oppressed by men in the matter of small wages or improper attentions that her state is even worse than that of matrimony, which is held by the critic to be degrading Not Jer- emiah nor Thersites was more apt in using vitriolio language nor in shower ing anathemas upon the heads of the male members of the human species, who are held to be worse than the brutes. We are informed that there is no such thing as love in the male breast, save as an insidious use of psy- chology to ensnare women. Men buy women in these days more openly than in the Oriental markets of past ages, and treat their wives with much more severity. Men confine women's exertions to motherhood and making a home pleasant for the males, while the wives sink gradually into intellectual sloth and die dishonored and dis graced. And more to the same pur- pose. Also 1t is intimated that the male opinion is that all women over 30 ought to be shot.
