Senator Hepburn made announcement
to this effect when the agricultural
appropriation bill was under discus
sion in the Senate.
He was speaking of the right OF the
government to include the school Sec
tions In It's supervision OF reservation
areas, and in this connection Mr..
Smoot raised the point that the ma
tional authority was supreme II the
land had not been surveyed. He said
that even when the forestry service
had cut timber on the unsurveyed Sec
tons. it had turned over to the state
rs per cent. Of the proceeds.
That" responded Mr. Hepburn.

Of Dick Turpin who, when he found his
victims stranded by his depredations,
would give them enough of their own
money to buy breakfast"
He went on to say that the recent
administration Of the forest reserva-
tions had been utterly regardless Of
law.
And let It be understood" he thun-
dered. "that from this time on Idaho
proposes to administer its own lands.
The authorities have been instructed
of their competency in this respect
and they will protect their interests.
II they are disturbed by by the forest
ers. they will invoke the aid Of the
state constabulary."
How are you going to locate your
lands. II they are not surveyor" Ques-
toned Mr.. Burkett.

have to locate land" he retorted.
"God located 1t before the flood"
Mr.. Hepburn charged the foresters
with accepting bounty money from the
states for killing predatory wild ami
mails, Notwithstanding this is one of
their duties.
The Idaho senator went into detail
in describing instances in which set
tiers had been evicted from their
homes within the reserves for no other
reason, he said, than that the forest
ers wanted the use of their improve
ments. In reply to Mr.. Shively he
said these proceedings were abso-
lutely arbitrary and without any sane
ton of legal regularity.
In this latter statement Mr.. Hey
burn was corroborated by his col
league. Mr.. Borah, who said the for
estry officials constitute themselves
judge and jury and prosecuting attor-
ncy in these proceeding. "disregarding
almost every law for the protection of
men which has been adopted by civil
iized society,""
No explanation or excuse was ever
given to the victim of these arbitrary
proceedings, he said.

rs SENT TO RACINE
Perpetual Motion Otto, Hopeless
Mental Wreck in County Asylum.


A hopeless mental wreck, Frank
Otto, known widely as Perpetual Mo
tion Ottov of the town of Somers has
been transferred from the State Hos
pital for the insane at Mendoza to the
hospital for the chronic insane at Ra-
cine The officials Of the county were
notified on Wednesday that Otto had
been transferred from the Madison hos
pital to a hospital for incurables. Otto
is an old man but his physical condi
ton is said to be such that it is thought
that he will live for many years. Only
a short time ago Judge Randall in the
municipal court received a. letter from
Otto in which he urged that his perpet
uaI motion machine be sent to him at
the Mendoza asylum. At that time
it was feared that he would never re-
cover his mental balance. Otto when
taken to Racine thought that he was
going to be allowed to return to his
HoHie dhu tne pledouI0 nc Hdu III th0
short trip was killed when he was
placed in the Racine asylum. The of
icials have taken no steps to have the
contraptions Of Otto sent to him but It
is probable that his work shop and his
famous machine will be loaded on
wagon some day and taken up to the
Racine institution if the people in
charge of the asylum will be willing to
allow the old man to have his toys. The
case is one of the most pathetic insane
cases ever discovered in Kenosha coun-
ty and the county officials are willing
to do all in their power to make the
old man content.

HUNTING LICENSES SHIPPED
County Clerk Jones Expected to Issue
1900 Hunting Licenses.

County Clerk Jones will be ready to.
begin the issuance of the annual hunt
ing licenses within the next few days
as he received notice this morning that
the licenses had been shipped from
Madison. The new licenses will go in
to effect on September 1st. The sup
ply this year is 1,400 licenses. Last
season Kenosha county took care of
1854 licenses. There are no great
changes in the hunting laws for this
season and practically the same laws
will prevail as during the last season
unless the coming legislature passes
some emergency laws for the protection
of the game. The number of licenses
issued in this county has been increas
ing annually and Kenosha county is
now one Of the best counties in the
state for the Game Warden's depart
ment.

Showers of Wednesday Morn
ing Proved of Great Value
to Growing Crops in Co.
STATE SECRETARY REPORTS

Wednesday s fall of rain, while light
in the city, proved of great value to
the surrounding country as the reports
from several sections Of the county
show that there was a heavy fall Of
rain during the early morning. Much
more rain is needed to hven up the
pastures, corn, cabbage, potato and
other vegetable crops and weather in
dications are that there will be con-
tinued rainfalls for some days.
Farm crops in Wisconsin have been
so badly damaged by the lack of rain
that their condition ranges from SO to
rs per cent OF the average for this time
of the year, according to the monthly
report issued on Tuesday by Secretary
John M. True Of the state board of
agriculture.
Unless a general rain comes soon, the
crop situation will become much more
serious, Secretary Trust believes. His
report is as follows, beng based on re-
turns received August I:
There was no general rain during the
month Of July. There were, however,
slight showers in most parts of the
state that have saved growing crops
from complete destruction. Pastures
have suffered most, and are now fur
nishing little food for stock, this short
age being supplied by feeding Of hay
and grain feeds.
Enough thrashing of grain has been
done to show that the yield of wheat,
rye and barley will not fall far below
the normal yield, Oats, though ma
terially injured upon sandy or dry land,
will furnish a. better yield than was
anticipated in the last report.
Corn planted upon good, fertile fields,
and well cultivated, has shown re.
markable degree of vitality, and with
a general rain now would make fair
crop.
Early potatoes are small, and the
yield is light. Later potatoes are al
ready suffering from want of rain, and
the crop will be materially shortened
even if rain comes soon.
Early planted tobacco is blossoming
without a desirable growth of leaf,
while the late planted is still small and
not promising.
Sugar beets are doing fairly well,
though making slow growth.
The following percentages of condi-
tion of crops is reported by corresponds
ents:
