dition Of Affairs

Pursuant to an order from the de.
artment of the interior the case OF

The land involved in litigation is sit
usted in township Sc north of range

entry should not be cancelled, and
upOn her failure to make an appear
snee and do so the filing of John L.
Whitney for the land was allowed in
September, 1906. In the same month
and Of the same year the entrywoman
applied to the department to have her
entry reinstated on the ground that

Try had never reached her as it had
been sent to Spokane.

The entrywoman was finally per-
mitted to make a showing in the be-
half Of her contention, and other af-
fdaVits were also filed showing that
her agent, ]. B. Mosley, had sold the
land to the Spokane Lumber company

He'd. and that he was under the i'm

American Colony In Honduras on the
Anxious Seat.
WASHINGTON. Feb. 4.--Aeeord-
ing to reports received here from
Honduras. several hundred Ameri-
cans now residing in that country are
awaiting with a great deal OF anxiety
the decision OF the United States ofIlc-
ials as to whether the extradltion
treaty recently entered into by the
United States and Honduras Is to be
retroactive. While there are many
Americans IN Honduras who are
there in the interest Of trade and
commerce. perhaps the majority are
refugees from justice who has thus
far successfully eluded the long arm
Of the Law and escaped punishment
for crimes committed in the states.
Until the recent extraditlon treaty
was signed Honduras was the last
refuge for American criminals in the
western hemisphere, and unknown
hundreds have taken advantage OF
that fact Living under assumed
names. some in direct poverty and
some enjoying the fruits of ill-gotten
wealth. many famous or infamous
American criminals. are to be found
in the Honduranean capital and In
the smaller cities and villages. II
il Is decided that the recent treaty is
retroactive. some Of these refugees
may be brought back to the United
States for trial Il Is realized, how
ever. that il would now be a difficalt
matter to bring about the conviction
OF most OF the refugees. and II Is
probable that the ofieials win decide
that the criminals will be sufficiently
punished BY having TO live out their

The husband and wife had appar-

BY the provisions OF a bill which
has lately passed both houses Of con
gress, the secretary of the interior is
authorized to sell to the University Of
Idaho a tract of land not exceeding
$40 acres out OF any lands not allot-
ted to Indians in the Occur d'Alene
reservation The price OF the land
is to be determined by the secretary
of the interior. but the minimum
fixed by the bill is $3.50 per acre.
The possession OF this tract will en-
able the university to develop a for
estry school under conditions exeep-
tionally favorable. in fact absolutely
ideal. The beginning work aud the
related subjects can be handled at
Moscow. and the practical side devel-
at this proposed site, which will IN
doubtedly be on the lake shore. In
quiry has revealed the fact that the
Indians made no selection on the
lake hence there is something like %

university tract.
II Is impossible 20 ascertain the
cost Of the land. as the appraisement

nature, evidently does not bear much
weight with legislators, many of
whom declare that the scheme is so
questionable that they considered it
their duty to prevent it's success.
ShoWalter's offer to explain to the leg

not be recognized. II have known

tative who is on the house land COM

Not All Entitled to Lands.
Another phase was presented by an
assemblyman who is of the opinion
that not all of the settlers are enti-
tied to the land upon which they have
located. A few of them, he said, had
filed on the land before it was seq
regated by the state and are the only
ones who are entitled to it. Others
he continued, came afterward and al
though they settled under a misap-
prehension, it does not add merit to
their claims.

HANGED IN EFFIGY FOR
HUMILIATING TEACHER

DAYTON, Wash, Nov. Sat the
Joint session of teachers of Column
bia and Garfield counties, Superin-
tendent Beaulieu, of the Dayton
schools, scathingly rebuked Miss
Griffin, a primary teacher, charg-
ing her with incompetency before
an assembly of 50 teachers and
prominent educators of the state.
On the next morning an effigy
of the superintendent was found
hanging from a telegraph pole I'm
front Of the Central school, where
the institute was being held.
"Beaulieu" was suspended under
meath on a placard.
Although it is claimed Miss
Griffin, who was conducting a mod
ell class in number work, showed
lack of knowledge of the subject
she was attempting to demon
strate, Beaulieu is censured for
hasty action. The affair inter.
fered with the institute. Professor
Beaulieu came here this year from
the University of Idaho.
