SPECULATION IN STATE LANDS

The Shafroth administration has
made shameful record IN the outrag.
eous and reckless manner in which
the grazing and agricultural lands OF
the state have been sold and turned
over to spectators.
During a period of seventeen months
the present state land board has sold
308,45s acres, No such waste and
disregard of the rights of the people
affecting state lands, has been known
in the history of the state.
In bold and striking contrast are the
records of the two preceding Repub
lican administrations Of Governors Nc
Donald and Buchtel
Under Governor Mcdonald 25,a67
acres were sold. and under Governor
Buchtel the sales only amounted to
60,S61 acres. This gives total OF
S6,S2S acres sold by the state land
board during four years of Republic
an rule, Immediately preceding the
present Democratic regime. Thus.
during seventeen months of Governor
Shafroth, 221 ,636 more acres were sold
than during the four years of Gov
ernors Mcdonald and BuchteI.
Some OF the sales of the present
board consist OF several thousand
acres at time to one person. party
OF company More than 10000 We're
recently sold to one person. Tracts
of GAO acres are common in the sale
list, and the 100 acre farm, rare. The
government only permits 800 acres as
the limit for settlement, but the Shat
roth administration has shown disre-
gard for both national and state prece-
dent and custom. The general policy
OF the Republican party, when In pow

PLANET BEYOND NEPTUNE.

Joplin (Mo) News-Herald.
Camille Flammarion believes in the
existence of an unknown planet be.
yond Neptune, and that the boundaries
of the solar system. as we know them
now, may be extended to distance OF
S.000,000,0OO kilometers from the sun.
Prof G. Forbes has since 1880 been
making Investigations in this same di-
rection, and concludes from the char
acter of astronomical data obtainable
that such planet exists, at a mean
distance from the sun of about 105
times greater than that OF the earth,
and circling the sun in SLOW revo-
luton of 1900 terrestrial years.
