CAREY ACT
LAND RULING
Settlers Required to Pay Only For
Acreage Susceptible of
Irrigation.

Settlers on the Carey act projects
of the state will not be required t. pay
for acreage not actually susceptible
crops, according to an order made by
the state board of land commits
sioners at meeting held today.
The question is one that has been
under discussion at the hands of
the state board for several months,
action being taken today in the adop-
tion of a resolution declaring the de-
cision of the board in substance as
above stated In attendance at the
board meeting where Governor James
H. Brady, Secretary of State Lansdon
and Attorney General D. G. McDoug
all. the fourth member of the board,
Miss Chamberlain. being absent. in
the northern part of the state.
The resolution adopted by the un-
animous vote of the members present
was to the effect that settlers or entry
men under the projects of the state
shall not be required to pay for the
lands above the water or canal line,
not susceptible of irrigation or for
lands taken by the right of way for a
canal, the order, however, not to
apply to lands taken for laterals or
bitches.
The payment for such lands during
the past several years has been the
subject of much dispute and dissen-
sion and action is taken by the board
with view to definitely disposing of
the question. Governor Brady stated
in regard to the resolution adopted
by the board, that he has always
favored such a resolution and at no
time believed that the settler should
be required to pay for the land that
he did not get. The report of the
state mine inspector on the Thomson
application for mineral leases to 8, 900
acres of state lands in Nez Perce
county was submitted. the board,
however, not taking up the report
bu passing the same for the present
and instructing the state mine in

lands embraced by the application
of George S. Hofstetter ct al. for
lease to mine asbestos. The leases
will be the subject for a special meet
ing Of the state board of land COM

GILMORE COUNTY BONDS n

were ricked up in the garrett of an
old schoolhouse in Omaha few days
ago where they had been thrown by
the bold bandits, who held up and
robbed an east bound Union Pacific
passenger train of valuable registered
mail in several pouches together with
a large amount of money from the ex-
press car, during the latter part of
last month. Mr.. Parsons was in
formed by w. ]. Vickers, Inspector
in chief of the post office department
that the bonds had been recovered by
his agents and delivered to their des-
tination.
The bonds were made out payable
to the bearer but after the train rob-
berry took place their payment was
ordered cancelled by Cashier Parsons,
who had been notified Of the hold up
and Immediately stopped payment on
them by wiring the Chicago banking
institution as well as the Elmore
county officials at Mountain Home.
The bonds had been registered and in
sured by the Bank of Idaho SO that the
local institution was protected in every
possible manner.
After holding up the train and Sc
curing the booty the zobbesrs took -the

ing the big crop of fruit that will be
grown in all of the splendid fruit
districts of the northwest. Mr..
Horan never overlooks very much
and he also calls our attention to the
fact that giving the youngsters
knowledge of the fruit business in
their school courses means giving them
an opportunity to earn good money for
themselves after school hours and dur
ing summer vacations. 1t is certainly
good deal better for the child to
make him earn money than to give it
to him, and the ideas suggested by
Mr.. Horan's S letter are very valuable
and the benefit is so clear that it
hardly seems necessary to more than
suggest it to the public schools in the
different districts, through the columns
of !" Better Fruit, insures it's being
adopted Times are really very diff
ferent nowadays than they were when
most of us were boys. The editor
calls to mind the fact that his idea
in getting an education was to fit
himself so he could live in city and
do business in city instead of being
a farmer. The times have changed
and the boy who grows up in the
country now educates himself to return
to the farm, with the idea in mind
that by being educated he can do the
work better and consequently increase
the profits.

taken to the garrett where the mail
was dumped in heap and the con-
tents examined Where currency
could be found the money was ex-
tracted and the letters thrown away.
Running across the Elmore county
bonds it was evident that the robbers
realized that they were of little value
and while made out payable to the
bearer they would run great risk in
bonds were therefore thrown aside.
When it was discovered by the detec-
tives set on the case that the robbers
had used the school house as their
hiding palce a careful examination
was made and the discarded mail dis
covered IN the garret together with
the bonds. Information with refer
ence to their recovery was sent to the
department and later wired Mr.. Par
sons. Today the latter received a
letter from Vickers informing him
that the bonds We're perfectly safe and
delivered
Three of the train robbers were
arrested shortly after it was dis
covered that they had used the school
house. Boys playing near the school
found masks which the men are sup
posed to have hidden. Later detec-
tives were placed on guard at the
school and three of the suspects were
arrested as they approached the build
ing intending 70 enter IT. The arrest
of the fourth took place in Denver on
June 2. He went by the name OF
Shelton and a reward of Sc, 600 was
placed on his head.

Mr.. M. Horan, of Wenatchee,
writes a very interesting letter to
Better Fruit in which he says the
public schools have instituted horti-
cultural courses which are proving
very interesting and instructive. The
idea has proven practical in the Wen
atchee district, according to the per
sonal opinion of Mr.. Horan He
states that the class on pruning came
down to his orchard and pruned a
number of trees, which they did in a
very excellent manner. Many of the
students who had taken course in
packing at the school look up the line
of work during the busy packing sea-
son and did their work in fine shape.
Now all of this is very interesting
and very significant. In the first
place. by teaching horticulture in the
schools it creates an idea in the mind
of the child that horticulture is a
high calling and matter Of educa-
tim. and not pure farm labor work.
This in an excellent idea to instilI in
the youthful mind. Mr.. Horan calls
attention to another point which is
worthy Of consideration. The help
question is apt to be problem with
us. If we can educate our children in
this line of work and make them in
terested it will mean that we will
have well trained. efficient help right
in our own midst to assist in harvest
