bridge at the Navasota river 1t seems
the boy had been fishing and was try

some manner he slipped into the hole.
The well Is about seven feet square

companion all night, each keeping his

the young fellow killed it. In his eff

He would have perhaps gotten through
about midnight if his strength held

He was discovered by Mr.. Martin,

heard noise of picking at the rock

no way to get him out and came to

FOREST RESERVE
CASE DECIDED
Supreme Court Upholds Right Of Gov
eminent to Set Aside Public
Lands as Forest Reserves.
[By Associated Press.l

Washington. May 1.-The United
States supreme court in decision
rendered today held that the federal
government, without the consent OF
the state affected, may set aside vast
areas Of public lands as forest re-
serves, and that such reserves are not
subject to the state fencing laws.
The constitutioanlity Of the vast
forest reservations Of the West and
the validity of the modern conserya-
ton policy were raised early in this
case in the circuit court of the United
States for the district of Colorado.
So widespread was the interest in the
case and so vital the questions in

self threw itself into the contest At
torney General Barnett was author
lied to assist in fighting the federal
government. He did so.
The attorney general emphasized
the argument before the supreme
court that no provision of the consti-
tuition empowered the federal govern
ment to conserve the national re-
sources" by providing for a contin-
uing timber supply, regulating the
flow of streams and preserving power
sites from being monopolized He
urged that the withdrawal of such
large tracts of land, said to be one
fifth of the entire area Of Colorado,
was the denial of equality with the
older states which had been allowed
to exercise dominion over all the ter
ritory within their boundaries.

THE CITY SCHOOLS

|
| The commencement exercises of
the schools will be held on Friday
morning, June 2, in the school audi
torium. They will be plain and simple,
! in keeping with the idea that real ed
ucation means modest worth, not
gorgeous display. In the olden days
schools were torn up month or more
making preparation for show-noth-
ling but show-and the taxpayers
paid the bills, while the pupils learned
little or nothing during the time of
preparation. Value received for the
money spent is what the schools stand
for, and time and money will not be
wasted in getting up circus at public
expense. The exercises will be liter
AIRY in character, and will be interest
ing to those of Literary tastes, but not
to those who look for something to
rival a tent show or a vaudeville per.
Torrance.
One of the reasons why the Bryan
schools have been making such prog.
ress is because the teachers have been
expected to make professional ad-
vancement. In the last few years our
teachers have been busy in vacation
working themselves up so as to give
Bryan the best. The superintendent
is not satisfied with anything short of
a forward movement that is constant.
AS usual, he will again go away in
quest of the best and latest in school
work the coming summer. 1t is fitting
that he who leads should also lead in
the search for the best modern solu.
ton of questions involved in school
supervision.

Watkins, bearing and Montgomery
