has been received thus completing the

Title TO Lake Beds.
| An appeal was perfected today to the
supreme court of the United States in q
case from Greene county involving the
/ title to the bed of what was once Goose
| lake. and If the contention of the claimants
Is correct then the state of Iowa has beer
going wrong in the matter of drainage and
sale of all the shallow lakes. The conten-
ton Is that the state does not have title
to lake beds except in the case of navigable
lakes and that the titles of all the smaller
lakes never passed from the United States.

The secretary of the state executive
council has received number of the bills
| of counties for the expenses Of the last

would be borne in fact by the taxpayers
in either way It was found best to have
the state relieved of all responsibility.
