TOWN SITE SALE.
Uncle Sam Sells Out Holdings in
Rupert Lots.

Uncle Sam virtually has closed
out his interest in the Rupert town
site and he cashed in at very hand
some profit.
With the exception of few scat
tered lots under the first apraisment
and some of the poorest Offered un-
der the second appraisement all
of the townsite has passed to private
ownership and the town will now
have better chance to forge ahead
The auction sale under the sec
ond 5ppraisement, held last Friday
and Saturday, was complete sue
cess, in attendance, sales and prices.
Dlr.ng the two days 412 lots were
soid az auction, bringing in $25, 143.
Not more than 100 lots were passed
up and as soon as the sale WIS clcse
money was sent to HALEY for the
purchase of full half of these, so
there probably are not more than fiji
ty lots under the second appraise-
ment, out of over 500, that remain
unsold, and these are the poorest
and least desirable Rupert Pioneer

The members of the bar of Elmore

Judge Walters for another term,
thus following the lead taken by

compliment of vvery high nature to
Judge Walters personal integrity
and just recognition of his cons
rious duties. Aside from this it is
a step in the direction of removing

The old ruling of the department

every irrigable acre of desert entry
must be watered before patent is is
sued, has been overthrow by a de-

which is of far reaching importance
in its effect as to principle upon

Criminal Prosecution for Those
Who POIIute Streams.

That there has been much unnec-
essary pollution of the streams, part
of which is criminal as well, may be
inferred from the following ruling
passed by the county board of health,
which was in session last week in
Shoshone:
That in reference to polluting
streams and failure of burying of
dead animals upon establishment of
identity of owner of said animals,
the owner will be charged for the
amount of cost of burial of same
and in addition prosecution of said
parties will be brought, and the full
extent of the fines, as prescribed by
law will be placed against said part
les upon establishment of guilt of
same"
Th publication of this official no
tice may give fair warning to any
and every one who might be af-
fected. The streams are the proper
ty of the state, and can not be used
as sinks or dumping places for offal
of any kind, without endangering the
health of many people. 1t is very
creditable to the officers that they
are starting out to enforce better
care of the public health.

Quiet School Board Election
Two Members Elected and Several Important Questions

The Albion State Normal school
will next year have about the finest
courses in primary agriculture and in
domestic science, of any school in
the West. At the meeting of the
board of trustees, held this week, the
board formally declared for this line
of work, which they have been con-
templating for a long time. Both
courses will be arranged during the
summer, ready for presentation this
fall. The best instructors will be
secured in both departments, and the
urgent need for such instruction will
be met
President Axline, who is conceded
to be one of the best instructors and
educational authorities in the North
west, was reelected to fill his pres
ent position. Most of the old sue
cessful instructors will be retained,
though there will be several changes
besides the addition of three new
ones in various departments. The
salaries of all we're raised, until
position as teacher in the Albion
Normal is one much to be desired.
The attendance has increased
about 90 per cent over that of last
year, until IT is imperative that the
legislature provide more room.
Should the attendance increase next
fall is it is expected tents may have
to be used for some of the classes.

MORE EASY MONEY

NEW YORK, July 1S.-The high
price of cotton has proved most pro
fitable to James A. Patten, the big
Chicago speculator According to his
intimate friends in the local pit he
will net about 100000 profits from
the sale of 100000 bales of actual cot
ton taken on May contracts after pay
ing $250,0O0 for insurance, freight
charges, etc. This cotton, which he
has been selling in Europe and this
country at 16 cents, was secured be-
low an average price of II cents.
1t also became known today that
Patten, who has been of the opinion
for months past that the crop situa.
ton was most unfavorab1e, got into
the wheat market some weeks ago
and on his heavy bull operations has
cleaned up so far over $4,000
The demand for spot cotton abroad
is becoming keen. During the past
few days j. S. Bache G. Co., brokers
for Patten, have shipped about 5000
bales to European spinning districts.

any state, and he will adhere strictly
to this policy.
President Taft is giving consider
able thought to the forthcoming re-
port by the Monetary Commission,
which, it is expected, will recommend
to Congress sweeping monetary re-
forms, 1t is doubtful if the report
will be ready for consideration until
year from next December.
If the next Congress is Republican
the President will make an effort to
get a monetary reform bill through.

the Commissions work will have re-
tired from Congress by that time, but
