IN the conservation OF the country 5
natural resources. Historically the
lecture was OF value, as the speaker
traned the development of the early
colonies. and the subdivision oil I'M
meuse grants, which later made groups
OF states.
Major Lacey said, in opening, that
the public lands were OF vital interest,"
to the settlers in the early days OF the
republic. Religions formed the prov
inces," he said, land provinces formed
the states" He recited the dates OF
the early grants of public lands, and
the settlement of such states as VIZ
ginia. Massachusetts, New York and
others. The title to Virginia, he SAID,
covered territory far to the northwest
even as far as the Pacific ocean. Con-
necticut's grant extended west to the
Mississippi, and took in the present
sites of Chicago, Cleveland and other
cities OF the east These cities would
still have been in the state of Connect
lieut.. he said, mad there been no grant

the first to give way in the granting

He told of what Canada had done
to preserve its public domain 10y, re
serving for itself 100000 acres in the
far northwest. She organized a com
mission to care for it.
Mr.. Lacey outlined the development
of the system of surveys, and told how
in ancient time it cost per cent OF
the value of the property to transfer
it from one owner TO another.
He denounced the alien ownership
of land. He thought every man should
be on the land, and be a producer from
the soil, and that every man should
gay his share of the land tax. In clos
! ing he predicted that in the year 500!
the land of Iowa would be as rich ant
productive as it is now. This, he said
was because of its peculiar formation
and underlying stratas of rock.

Just now the general coal trade
of the nation is interesting more from
a speculative than from strictly bus

demand for domestic coal is active
and business is good. hence the call
for steam coal is extraordinarily
heavy. These things are taken for

The death of Jerry F. Everett OF Ma

home FIVE miles north of Oskaloosa.
He was a pioneer. soldier for the
Union, an educator. a successful far
mer, a politician, an enterprising, no
bic citizen. He became county super
intendent soon after the.war OF the re-
bellion, later was city superintendent
of Oskaloosa several years, from there
went to Rock Island i'll. TO fill the same
position. He was an intimate associ-
ate vita A. Hull, George Carpenter.
Jonathan Piper and other pioneer edu-
Gators, and along with Hull and Piper
held the famous thirty day Teachers
Institute in Oskaloosa in 1867 before
the Normal Institute law was enacted.
1t was upon the work and plans OF
this institute that the Iowa Institute
law was based more than any other
experience, for these three men were
called before the legislature Of Iowa
TO give full detail, which they did. Mr..
Everett was the real instigator of the
move. This we know because we
were member Of said institute and
