HoBOKEN, N j.. June SO
Join in death the 3-year-old daughter
whose life had been the lyric of Their
lives, and whose passing was the
passing of all joy for them, Dominick
Jardina and his wife killed them
selves in their home at $50 Fifteenth

arms. The child died six weeks ago.
1t was a little before noon when
Mrs. Mary Jardina. a sister-in-law,
who lives in the same building and
whose rooms look upon those of DOM
ninqk Jardina across an air shaft,
glahced over from a kitchen window.
She saw them on. the bed. but they
were clothed and she knew 1t was not
an hour for them to be asleep.
Swinging her ironing board over the
narrow shaft TO the sill of the other
window, Mrs. Jardina walked across,
cracked the locked window with her
bare hands and leaped into the room
of death.
Gas filled the room. She dragged
the woman, who was dead, and the
man. who was unconscious, to the
window. She screamed for help. An
ambulance was called, but Dominick
died on the way to the hospital.
This letter was found in the room:
my Dear Brother-We are sorry for
the trouble we are causing you, but
We are tired of this life and we can
not bear our sorrow. We have de-
cided to die together. as we have
lived together. We ask you to bury

Father and mother. we ask your
forgiveness for taking this step. We

AMENDMENT WANTED

The North Yakima Business mems
association has Joined forces with the
commercial club and city commission
in demand upon Secretary Of State
1. M. Howell that railroad and ex-
press companies be made amenable to
the new state weights and measures
law. The attorney general has ruled
that county sealers have no right to
test the scales of common carriers,
and there is vigorous protest at the
enforcement of regulations that COM
pels dealers to give full weight, but
does not protect them from accepting
short. The exemption is based upon
the fact that the transportation COM
panies, being under the Jurisdiction
of the public service commission, may
not be interfered with by local Off
cials, and it is suggested that county
sealers be made depdtles of the COM
mission in order to overcome this

State Lands OF
Washington.
~ Clark v. Savidge, State Commits
sioner Of Public Lands

Upon the admission of Washington
Into the sisterhood of states, Con-
gress granted for the support of our
sensational institutions approximate
II three million acres of government
lands; and for internal improvements
an additional quarter million. At
the same time, the state became the
proprietor of all lands within it's bor-
ders below the line of ordinary high
tide, Of the harbor areas, and. of the
beds and shores of all navigable lakes
and streams.
It is the business of the states de-
partment of public lands to attend to
the leasing and sale of these lands,
to prevent and prosecute trespasses,
grant necessary rights of way and
other easements, survey and plat
lands before sale, establish water
ways and harbor areas, and general
ly to manage all this property of
which the state is landlord These
duties are SO numerous and SO COM
plex that they cannot1 be detailed
only give general statements and
round numbers. Ar
To begin with, existing statutes
governing the Office occupy some six
hundred sections of the Code, which
will illustrate the intricacy of the
system under which the lands are
handled. In addition to these, we are
controlled by innumerable acts of
Congress, rulings OF. the interior de-
partment, decisions of the courts,
and opinions of the attorney general.
Besides this mass of legislation and
interpretation, we must know and ap-
pix kA earlier laws under which
.rlgEss may have become vested in
particular cases.

A PIG FOR EACH SCHOOL
Gift From Portland Stock Yards


Wants Accurate Record of Food
Every city and country school in
Oregon and Washington that wants a
pig can have one with the compli-
ments of the Portland Union Stock
Yards.
The only condition attached to the
gift pigs will be a requirement that
each school accepting one keep an ac-
curate record of the kind, quantity
and the cost of the food that is given
it. This will be for the purpose Of
determining the cost of feeding and
preparing pig for market.
1t is expected that the pigs will be
sold when they reach a marketable
size. The stock yards will buy them
back at the market price, says the
Oregonian, and the schools can use
the money as they choose.
Stock yards officials expect the
boys and girls of the various schools
to compete for the distinction of maxi
ing the most money out of their pork
stock.

MUST DEVELOP SMALL CITIES

Statistics show that about thirty
years ago two-thirds Of the popula-
tion of the United States lived il the
smaller towns and country districts,
while one-third lived in the larger
cities. Today the situation is about
reversed, only one-tkird of the popu-
lation is rural, while tWo-thirds is
urban.
This tendency of population away
from the country into the big cities
is undesirable from many viewpoints.
Not only is it one of the chief causes
for the high cost Of living, but city
life in general is neither so health
full or moral as is country life and if
the movement continues it must ul-
timately undermine the health and
character of the American people.
Is there anything we can do to
check and reverse this movement?
There is. & The back to the farm"
movement will help some, but the
real solution must come from the
country communities themselves.
Improve the roads, make the country
more desirable place in which to
live, make the home town more at
tractive and increase its entcrtain-
ment features, SO the young people
will be more content to stay at home,
and we will be doing much to change
the tide, at least in this community.
Many go to the cities, through ne
cessity. There is not sufficient en-
ployment for them all in their home
community. But if we will patronize
home industries and home merchants
and develop the agricultural and 9TH
er resources of the community, there
will be sufficient employment for ev-
eryone. Patronizing eastern catalog
houses is one of the things that is
driving young people away.
One firm in Chicago employs some
thing like 600 girls. and IS per cent
Of these girls come not from the city
itself, but from the country districts,
and one-third Of the girls employed
by this firm have to be recruited each
wear. Many Of them never find in
Chicago the healthful, moral and so
cial advantages that should exist In
the home town and community.
II the farmers SON can not ind
employment at home. the situation
may be met, In many cases. by dtvid-
ing the farm into smaller units and
adopting more intensive farming
methods.

The most Illuminating detailed sta
tistics ever presented on the high cost
of living are contained in a report
just completed by the burear of labor
statistics at Washington.
It demonstrates that the reputed
increase in cost of staples is no idle
dream. Every head of a family knows
this increase has taken place, but the
figures presented show, in $50 pages
of comparative tables, that the aver
age increase since 1899 is IS per cent

The statistics upon which the re-
port is based were gathered from for

boards consideration. After it has
acted, the Office takes up the work of
recording the transactions, opening
accounts, collecting the money, and
issuing the necessary receipts, con-
tracts and Deeds
Each year this office collects and
turns in to the state treasury more
than million and half dollars, and
does another million dollars worth
of business upon which the money is
not at once received, payment being
distributed into deferred annual in
stalments.
The office carries more than eight
thousand individual open accounts
upon its books, of which about six
thousand represent contracts of sale,
upon which interest, principal and
fees must be collected, extensions of
time granted, forfeitures declared, or
deeds finally issued. About eight hun
dred deeds are written, compared, re-
corded, indexed, checked and deliver
ed in each year.
The remaining accounts are prin-
cipally for leases of one kind or an
other. The states annual rentals
amount to about $150,O00, of which
$13O,00O is derived from the 450,-
900 acres of granted lands which are
under lease for grazing and agricul-
tural purposes. The greatest vigi-
lence is required in the collection OF
these rentals as Tley fall due, in or
der to prevent serious loss through
the default or disappearance of our
tenants.
In addition to the transactions OF
these regular accounts, we handle ev-
cry month hundreds of miscellaneous
items of money which is in our hands
for greater or less length of time on
deposit and is finally sent to the
treasurer or returned to the sender.
The average daily balance of these
deposits during the last year has been
1905, upon which interest is paid
to the state by the depositary.
OF all the lands granted to the
state, less than one-fifth has been
sold. The selling price has been
twelve million dollars. or an average
Of Spills per acre. Since 1901 no
lands carrying more than million
feet of timber to the quarter section
have been sold. The timber must
frst be sold separately and paid for
in cash at the time of sale. On these
terms, the timber on $4,000 acres
of timber has been sold at the aver
age price Of $16.40 per acre.
