Commissioners before the assessors
were appointed. was IA inches
above the stage of water as it was
found the 31st day of March, 1910.
At that time the water was barely
seeping out at the outlet, so it will
be practically II inches above the
bottom of the present outlet of the
lake. 1t is to be hoped that the
County Commissioners will make
arrangements for the immediate
construction Of the dam. so that if
the rains continue the lake may
retain the water and come up to
it's normal level. The county
board meets today and will. no
doubt. take action in the matter.

Hon. M. J. Bowling gives the
following in his statement Of
methods for making and maintain
ing good roads.
Don't let water stand on any
portion Of the road, to soak and
soften it; don't permit single
sod to be used in constructing the
road; don't build the road too wide,
and don't build it to a peak in the
centre. Make it round like q hog s

by frequent use Of the King drag !;
and do not forget that the best time
to use the drag is right after q rain.

That Bad Storm.

The storm which recently de-
stroyed several barns in the south
ern part of the county. has prompt
ed me to call attention to the fact
that some of the reliable Fire Insur-
ance Companies. TO r which l am
agent and which are insuring our
city property against fire, are also
insuring farmers buildings against
Wlnd-Storms. Tornadoes and Cy-
clones at a very low rate. Why take
any chances and be without tornado

reliable insurance at such low cost ?

PROPOSED MAN BELIEVES IN
CORPORAL PUNISHMENT.

The gentleman to whom Gov.
Eberhart is said to have offered
the SUPPLEMENTARY of the Red
Wing Training School. not
only believes in corporal pun
ishment but believes it is invigor-
ating. If he were to abolish it here,
it would be against his own expressed
opinion. Tom Noswal in the North
field News writes:
Il talked with Mr.. Whittier the
other day. The gentleman at Red
Wing seems to 'have the goods"
in some particulars and he is more
than ready to use them, too. The
willy superintendent heard that
Eberhart had offered the position
at Red Wing to C. C. Aspinwall
of the State training school of
Washington located at Chehalis.
Now Whittier earlier in the game
sent telegram to each of the fifty
five institutions in the country
asking their opinion regarding the
use of corporal punishment. and
the replies show that fifty-one of
this number "use the rod and
paddle.'' Astonishing. it is true,
but none the less true. The four
which do not use corporal punish
ment use solitary confinement and
bread and water diet. but here's
where the rub comes. Aspinwall
was among the first to answer
Whittier's inquiry and in his answer
the Washington superintendent
says: Il favor corporal punishment
and believe a small amount of it is
invigorating.' Sort of reminds
one of an advertisement for we'll
known soda fountain drink. doesn't
it?
"Now, what is to be gained by
making Aspinwall superintendent?
You say corporal punishment will
be abolished at Red Wing. Well,
if that's true it will be abolished
under Whittier just as easily.
Whittier has never been decided
advocate of that form of punish
ment. 1t was part of the system
which he took in hand and which
had been practiced for years, in fact
since the beginning of the institu-
ton. And a great many intelligent
men and women the country over
have said that while they do not
advocate the continual use of cor
! poral punishment they do believe
that it should be held permissible
in order to.. force incorrigible pupils
into submission.

COAL LANDS WORTH
MANY MILLIONS
Government Gains by New Meth
cd Of Selling.

Washington, March 21.-Hundreds
of billions of tons of COAL contained in
the vast areas of coal lands in the
West, consisting of more than 10000
900 acres, are owned by the United
States government, according to an
announcement of the United States
geological survey. Some tracts are
of immense value, containing beds of
the highest grade coal in veins from
thirty to eighty feet in thickness.
By new method of selling this coal
land the government will gain an
enormous amount of money. The old
way was to sell the coal lands regard
less of value at $40 an acre if more
than fifteen miles from a railroad, or
at $40 if within that limit.
Now the geological survey measures
the coal in an acre and the land is
sold on a coal tonnage basis. AS re-
suit coal lands have been priced as
high as $500 an acre, and in one tract
at even $500.
During the last year the geological
survey classified by individual forty
acre tracts 1927, 166 acres, with a val
ue of $569,815,O81 This added to the
results of former works gives a total
of 13,480,538 acres classified as coal
lands, with valuation of $685., 619, 418
By the old method these lands would
have had a valuation of $218,289,94
which shows net gain to the govern
ment of nearly $420.000,000.
All proceeds of coal lands sales are
deposited to the credit of the irriga-
ton reclamation fund.

the Jail at Juarez, Mex, where his son,
Lawrence, twenty-one years old, with

were captured on the American side

ASSAULTED IN new YORK

Famous Negro Educator Is Mistaken
for an Intruder While Searching for
Residence of Friend and Is Severe
Iy Beaten-AssaiIant Uses Club in
Attack and Victim Is Badly Hurt.
New York, March 21.-Dr. Booker
T. Washington was not able to ap-
pear in court because of the injuries
he received Sunday night, according
to the statement of his attorney, and
the hearing of the charge against Al
bert Ulrich, the carpenter arrested on
his complaint of felonious assault, was
postponed for day. Ulrich was re-
leased on bail.
Ulrich, white man, maintains that
he was acting within his rights when
he struck the negro educator with
club and pursued him for several
blocks before a policeman appeared.
Ignorant of the negro's identity, he
declared that his wife had complained
to him of a negro she had met in the
hallway of their fiat house in West
Sixty-third street.
Mr.. Washington, who was sent to
Flower hospital, where sixteen stitch
es were taken in his scalp, asserted
that his mission to that neighborhood
was perfectly legitimate and that he
had been made the innocent victim of
a most atrocious assault
Attorney Smith, who represented
DR.. Washington, told Magistrate Cor
nell that his client had eleven wounds
and that one of the wounds had caused
a serious hemorrhage of the ear.
Released on $500 Bond.
A short affidavit was then made by
Policeman Tierney, who took Ulrich
to court, and on this the prisoner was
held in $1,000 bail. A bond was fur
nished for Ulrich's appearance in
court and he was released.
Mr.. Washington, who went to his
apartments at the Hotel Manhattan
after having his wounds dressed, told
the police that he had received let
ter from his secretary saying that
D. C. Smith, the auditor of Tuskogee
college, of which he is the head, was
in New York city and desired to see
him.
"This letter said Mr.. Smith was
stopping with a cousin, giving the
name and address," said Dr. Washing
ton. ION Sunday l attended church
services twice and, after speaking at
one church in the evening, l recalled
the letter concerning Smith and de-
cided to look him up. But I discov-
cred that I had left the letter in 9TH
er clothes at the hotel, but l thought
I could recall the name as something
like Moore and the address as being
in Sixty-third street l went there
and commenced to look at the name
plates on the letter boxes in the halls
of the different houses, seeking the
name of Mr. Smiths cousin. It was
while thus engaged that I was at
tackled. l ran because my assailant
was much larger man."
