APPROPRIATION TANGLES.
State Treasurer Sheath Tells Why the
Surplus in the State Treasury Is
so Rapidly DwindIiug.

A few weeks ago the Star. In
dependent asked why the Penn
sylvania treasury surplus had
fallen from fourteen millions of
dollars in 1907 to six millions last
December. State Treasurer
Sheatz lells why, in his annual re
port to Governor Stuart. There
are large expenditures which do
not appear on the appropriation
sheet, Notwithstanding the Gov
ernor's ruling, year ago, that
no money should be expended ex
cept by specific appropriation.
Thus the report shows that whilst
the treasury recelptfor the perl
cd from June 1, 1907, to Deem
bar 1, 1909, were $69, $50, ,03s.s5,
and the appropriations were $780,
S10,594 A, the actual payments
were 90, OH, loo o9.
The Treasurer suggests Ger
tain changes IN the manner of ap.
propriatlng moneys IN order that
appropriations may be made un.
derstaudingly. At the beginning
of the session of 1909 the Govern.
or notified the Legislature that
the apparent balance In the treas.
ury was not free surplus be-
cause 1t includes unexpended ap.
preparations. But the Leglsla-
ture paid no heed and appropriat-
ed total sum in excess of income
and the balance In the treasury.
1t Is difficult to give the Leglsla-
ture exact information with re-
gard to outstanding obligations,
and the Treasurer recommends,
by way of example, that "the un.
expended amounts remaining
from such appropriations should
lapse into the State Treasury at
the end of the biennial legislative
appropriation year and new ap.
preparation made to continue such
work to completion. thereby show
ing this amount on the new ap-
preparation sheet" This Is so
obviously ADVISABLE that 1t hardly
admits OF discussion. 1t would
give the Legislature clear under
standing of the state of the treas
ury at each biennial session. The
Treasury also recon mends that
the treasury recelpts from coun.
ties, townships and boroughs as
their share of the costs of high
way construction should become
part Of the general fund and not
be used for further extension of
highway building. That, too,
commends itself.
The Treasurer warns the Com
monwealth that If these recon-
mendations be not adopted the
surplus will soon be wiped out,
because "this overlapping appro-
priatlon system has created an
endless cham OF payments, mil.
lions In excess Of what is repre-
sented upon the face Of appropria
tlons made within a two year ap.
preparation period. That Is a
real danger, for unless there be
a achange for the better the States
expenditures will consume the
surplus and exceed revenues, and
that means more taxation. To
put 1T more plainly, there must
be sound business sense and
economy In appropriating the
peoples money.

SITUATION
is RELIEVED
May now Secure Title
to Coal Lands in
any Event

Owing to the great uneasiness
which has arisen Montana, North
and South Dakota regarding the
coal land withdrawal orders Act
ing Secretary Of the Interior
Pierce has sent a letter to the
head officials of the Lennon,
5. D. land district giving fuller
instructions and showing that
there is no cause for uneasiness
among the settlers. 1t reads as
follows: Register and Receiver,
Lennon, S. d., - Gentlemen;
By office letter IN" of July 81,
1910, you were advised that the
president had, by order dated
July Z, 1910, Withdrawing from
settlement, location, and entry
and reserved for examination
and classification with respect to
coal values, certain lands in
North and South Dakota and
Montana, particularly described
in the lists accompanying said
letter.
Considerable uneasiness hav-
ing resulted in your district,
due probably to an improper in
lerpretation Of the order. the
following instructions are issued
for your guidance.
1t will be observed that the
act of June 25, 1910, which, auth
orizes the president to make
Withdrawals Of lands in certain
cases, expressly excepts from
the operation of any withd rawals
of lands i'm braced IN any lawful

any valid settlement has been
made, and is at said date being
maintained and perfected pursu-
ant to law. Inasmuch as the
order of July7, 1910, was issued
subject to condition, limitations,
and exceptions Of the act of June
25, it follows that the lands EN-.

operation of the order.

The much talked of fast base ball
aggregation from Sidney came to
our city last Sunday to take on the
local aggregation, but they did not
even play fast enough to make the
game an interesting one, and were
defeated by a score of 16 to l.
The game was called at 3 o'clock
and as the local fans were expecting
to see an exceptionally fast game
quite large number were on the
scene. though the game had pro-
gressed but few innings when the
Sidney team was shown that they
were out classed.
Lakey and Mclean formed the
battery for the visitors and Ford
and Reed for the locals. About
the only features of the game were
the home runs made by Griffin,
Jennings and Reed.
The Wibaux Tigers will 60 to
Sidney Sunday for their final game
Of the season. If Sidney wins, a
second game will be played on the
same afternoon. All those who
want to see good game and pos
sibly two should auto up with the
team and root for the red sox as it
will be their last opportunity this
year. The Tigers were defeated
by only one club this season and
they will endeavor to maintain
this reputation Sunday.

known dead placed at go, at least
200 seriously injured and as many
more missing, progress in the fight
against the forest fires raging
throughout eastern Washington,
Idaho, and western Montana was
reported by the forest rangers and
United States troops today.

en- out this morning by one Of the
government foresters showed that
|St. Regis, which was reported in
flames Monday, still has a slight
chance Of being saved; that Mullen
Saltez, and Henderson, all of
which were in iminent danger
Monday, are now considered out
of immediate danger.
Besides Wallace and Taft, the
towns of Bryson, De Borgia and
Haughan have been wiped out.
While the situation is far from
relieved the progress made at St.
Regis. Mullen and Saltez, which
are said to be doomed, has encour-
aged the fire fighters and they now
hold out hopes of being able to
hold the flames in check until rain
comes that will be sufficiently
heavy to extinguish the fires.
The wind is dying down at all
points according to reports today.
Conditions are still more or less
chaotic throughout the fire zone.
and it is still impossible to get ac-
curate details of loss of life or prop
erty damage. 1t is known that
fire along Cedar Greek, Ida., near
Saltez, destroyed the plants of the
Kansas City Commercial Co. ana
the Amador Co. narrowly missing
an immense dredge Of the former
concern. Six men are believed to
have perished in this fire. A par
ty Of eight started out with pack
horses and were caught by fires in
the mountains. Two members of
the party reached Missoula today
and reported that their horses were
killed and they did not know what
had become of their companions.
The flames which have been
sweeping the Camas valley for two
days are also reported checked,
after doing immense damage.
Aside from the great loss of life
and the destruction of the city of
Wallace the most disastrous of the
fire is believed 10 be the havoc
wrought along the tracks of the
transcontinental railroads. The
lines between Montana and Wash.

it will be weeks before the dam
age can be permanently repaired.
Along the line of the st. Paul

been burned out in Idaho out of a
total of 30 in that state.
