with an escort and full author
ity from the king of Persia to rebuild
the wall of Jerusalem and to restore
its gates. 1t would appear that Ezra's
reformation, while very helpful to the
people, brought against them the vio-

was to have been expected. The Jews.
now considerable in numbers, were
despised by their neighbors, who wish

wall of the city was poor and did not
withstand the attack.
Josephus says that Nehemiah, wealthy
and favored of the king of Persia, re-
sided in the kings palace at Shushan.
He was a pious man and deeply inter

.C,S,OWNS VAST
COAL DEPOSITS
GEOLOGICAL SURVEY IN REPORT
TELLS OF NEW METHOD OF
THESE LAND SALES.

Washington, D. c., March I'll Hun
dreds of billions Of tons Of coal, con-
tanned in the vast area Of coal lands
in the west, consisting of more than
70,000,000 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 highest grade Of 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 II more
than fifteen miles from railroad, or
at $50 If within that limit. Now the
geological survey measures the coal in
an acre and the land is sold on coal
tonnage basis. AS a result coal lands
have been priced as high, as $500 an
acre and in one tract at 5000.
During the last year. the geological
survey has classified by individual
forty acre tracts 1927, 1865 acres Of the
government coal lands with total OF
$56O.S15,OS1 and this, added to the re-
suits of former work, gives total Of
13,48O,53S acres classified as coal lands
with a valuation of s637, 619,41S. BY
the old method these lands had a
valuation of only 21S,2S9,942, which
shows a net gain to the government Of
nearly $42O,OOO,0o0. All proceeds Of
coal land sales are deposited to the
credit of the irrigation reclamation
fund"

LOWER COURT
IS SUSTAINED.
OPINION RECEIVED BY. CAPTAIN
JAQUEs IN INJUNCTION CASE
DOES NOT STOP SELLING.

The complete opinion has been re.
ceived from the supreme court in the
matter of R. A: Mills, relator, vs.. w. V.
Silvers and S. R. Cheadle, which Went
to the high court following the de-
cision Of Judge M. A. Roberts, on a
writ Of certiorari. The whole opinion,
through rendered by the high court a
few days ago, did not arrive here until
this morning, when copy was re-
ceived by Capt. w. H. c. Jaques, attor-
ney for the defendants, against whom
the lower court ruled in the trial here.
The opinion shows the lower court sus-
tanned in its finding and gives Attorney
W. w. Rankin an additional $25 for his
services in the case before the supreme
court.
The finding of Judge Roberts, when
the case was heard in the district
court, was to the effect that the fines
of $4OO be assessed against the two de-
PENDANTS and an order of abatement
provided for the closing of the build
ing and the destruction of the liquors
in the building. The defendants took
the matter to the supreme court on u
writ of certiorari issued by the s,l-
preme court on Judge Roberts demand
ing the transcript Of all the records
and proceedings in the injunction suit.
A stay of abatement was granted
pending the ruling of the supreme
court.
In speaking of the opinion. Captain
Jaques said today that the lower court
was sustained by the opinion. but that
the question Of the defendant remain.
ing in business was not part Of the
opinion, and that they are not affected
in their business by the ruling. Had it
been the decision Of Judge c. w. Yer
million that was sustained, the ques.
ton might have entered, but he stated
in the Roberts decision the matter Of
the defendants remaining in business
Is not touched upon by the decision.
