LANDS WILL BE EXCHANGED
state of Washington Making Dea
With Federal Government.

washington. ID. C. - Unsurveyed
school sections included in the forest
reserves in the state of Washington
ageregating AGO, 900 acres, will be ex.
changed by the state for equal area OF
government land that is to be excluded
from the forest reserves, if the plan
tentatively agreed on by the Interior
department and state officials is ap-
nroved. Attorney General Tanner
and Land Commissioner Savidge, OF
washington, are now cooperating
with the Interior and Agricultural de-
partments on an agreement to COM
plete this exchange, and it probably
will be signed next week.
In addition, the state is arranging
to select 81, 900 acres Of forest reserve
land in lieu of the school lands lost to
the state by reason of having been
taken by homesteaders prior to survey.
Some 10000 acres Of surveyed school
lands in the reserves, it is found, can
not be exchanged without the sanction
of congress, and bill authorizing
such exchange will be introduced soon.
BY this deal the state will get sale
able lands, worth approximately $15,-
OOO, 900, in exchange for scattering
and isolated tracts for which it can
find no market now.

NEW SCHOOLS ARE DEFENDED
United States Board of Education
Says Modern Way Is Best.

Washington, D. C. = Aroused by
criticism of present-day educational
methods in the public schools, the
United States bureau of education has
come to the defense of the system. 1t
declared that the three "R's" were
being taught as thoroughly as was the
case in the little red schoolhouse, "
and that they were being taught more
scientifically and with modern view
to the needs of the individual child.
eve frequently hear that there are
too many subjects and too many fads
and frills,' >" says the report, "and
hence neglect of the three RS.
GAS a matter of fact, the system of
today is immeasurably ahead of the
school system of the past. The growth
has been steady"
The report declares that the aim of
the educational system of today is to
educate children for kind of life,
economic and social, which they will
lead when they leave the public school.
The bureau bases its defense of the
present system principally on this
ground.

FOR DIVERSIFIED FARMING
Fruit, Corn, Wheat, Alfalfa and
Fine Stock Thrive.

Spokane Another indication of the
tendency in the Inland Empire to d.
versify farming methods is seen in the
determination of the owners of the
big Buster Brown ranch at Brew
ster, WASH, to stock the place with
blooded hogs. One-crop farming in
the Brewster district soon will be a
thing of the past.
While the Buster Brown ranch has
1,400 acres planted to trees, it also
produces good crops of corn, wheat
and alfalfa. This year 100 acres are
in wheat and 20 acres in corn, in addi-
ton to cover and forage crops. Later
cattle raising will be engaged in.
The owners recently sent man
through the hograising districts of
Washington and Idaho to select swine,
and carload of Duroc-Jerseys was
shipped to the ranch last week from
the Yakima country.

PROTEST DEAD LETTER SALE
Washington, d. c., Business Men
Want Merchandise Distributed.

Washington, D. C.-Sale of the un.
called-for and undelivered mass Of
mail matter that has accumulated in
the Postoffice department during the
year at stipulated points throughout
the country, instead Of in the capital,
as has been the case in previous years,
has been asked by the merchants OF
Washington.
In petition to Postmaster General
Burleson the Retail Merchants asso-
citation declares the government,
through its sale of "dead letter" mat
ter, enters into competition with them
and Injuries their business. The asso-
citation believes this competition
should be more widely distributed.
In the past "dead letter" matter
has been sold here to the highest bid
der without revealing the contents of
the package. The charge that this is
a lottery scheme impelled the govern
ment to open all packages and display
the contents before bids were asked
for. This fact, the merchants declare,
operates to encroach heavily on their
legitimate trade and they believe the
rest OF the country should share the
loss.

SMALLER AND BETTER FARMS
Sentiment Is for Less Acreage and
Also Less Weeds.

Spokane - That a new farming
spirit has found root in the central
Washington district, presaging farm
ing of smaller areas by better meth
DDS, is attested by former Governor
M. E. Hay, who has just returned
from five days trip through that
district.
81 have never seen year, said
Mr.. Hay, "when good farming has
paid SO well and poor farming so poor
" as in this years crop.
"Those who have been able to keep
their land clear of weeds and have
farmed in proper manner will har-
vest from 20 to 40 bushels per acre,
while those who have not farmed prop
erly will not fare very well.
81 talked with many farmers and
find that they all realize they have
been farming too large areas, and
most of them are going to cut down
their acreage and farm less land but
farm it much better. This will leave
much land available for new people.
s'I also found in many places the
farmers were blowing right up to the
wheel tracks in the highways, level
ing the ground and sowing it to crops.
This tends to keep the weeds down in
the highways and gives the farmers
good pasturage for their stock, or if
they wish to let it stand gives them a
hay crop.
$50 far as the wheat crop is con-
cerned, the farmers in central Wash
ington certainly are doing their share
to increase the prosperity of this Sec
tiOn."

TURKS INVADING BULGARIA
King Ferdinand Implores Interven-
ton by European Powers.

London-Without declaring war and
anparently trusting that the jealousies
Of the powers will prevent any Euro
pean interference, Turkey has begun
an invasion of Bulgaria. The Turks
have occupied and burned the villages
of the Jamboli road and are reported
to have pushed their "Reminiscences
as far as Philipopolis. No informa-
ton has been received as to the
strength of the forces which have
crossed the frontier. Probably they
are comparatively small bodies OF En-
yer Bey's cavalry. Some skirmishing
has occurred on the frontier but the
Rulgarians have offered no serious
resistance.
In Vienna it is reported the Turks
have crossed the Bulgarian frontier in
three places, roughly coinciding with
the routes followed by the Bulgarlans
southwark last October, namely, by
the Martha and Tundja valleys, as
we'll as in the direction of Jamboli.
King Ferdinand, of Bulgaria, sum-
moned the representatives of the pow
ers to the palace at Sofia and ad-
dressed them as follows:
81 am anxious to protest before
Europe against the outrageous action
of the Turkish army, which not con-
tent with violating the treaty of Lon
don, is engaged in invading the old
territory of my kingdom in the direc-
tion of Tirnova. Siemenli and Jamboli,
and is giving itself up to the most
frightful excuses, burning villages,
massacreing the inhabitants and
spreading panic throughout Thrace.
81 cannot believe that the great
powers who signed the diplomatic act
now being trodden under foot can re-
gard with Indifference what is being
done today, and remain impressive un-
der the insult placed upon them, and
to the crimes of which we are the vic
Tins.
"In the distress in which the Bull
garian nation finds itself, / have ap-
peared on its behalf before the repre-
sentatives of civilization and beg Eu-
rope, through you, to put an end to
the sufferings of people fleeing before
the return of their old oppressors.
1t appears doubtful whether any
armistice will be signed at Nish until
peace preliminaries have been ar
ranged. Both Greece and Servia are
throwing obstacles in the, way of an
armistice, while pushing their attacks
in the direction of Sofia. It is report
ed that Roumania has warned Servia
and Greece that if they continue their
advance the Romanian army will be
ordered to occupy Sofia first.

PLACE BURDEN ON WEALTH
Idaho Senator Pleads for Higher
Exemption Limit.

Washington, d. C.-Public discus
sion Of the proposed new income tax
came for the first time in the senate
Thursday when Senator Borah began
an analysis Of the income tax provis-
ion Of the tariff bill and comparison
Of conditions in this country with
those ii, England, France and other
nations, where immense revenues are
obtained by direct taxation.
This was the first break in the pro-
gram of tariff rate discussion, which
began Saturday.
It followed the conclusion Of an adj
dress by Senator Smoot, who for two
days had analysed the new rates and
duties of the Simmons Underwood bill
and had criticised the measure because
of its departure from the protective
policy and because Of its alleged In
equalities.
Senator Borah's address, to be con-
tinued later, held the close attention
of Republicans and Democrats alike
throughout the time he had the floor.
He declared an meme tax, to be an
effective restraint on the extravaganza
of nation, should be distributive over
the small incomes SO every citizen
would feel its effects. Because of the
great burden of indirect taxes borne
by American citizens, however, Sem
ator Borah said this principle could
not be applied in the United States.
On the contrary, he urged that the
$4,000 exemption fixed by the senate
committee be raised to the $4,000 fig
ure fixed by the house.
''Under this income tax provision
there will be no relief for those who
ought to have relief, said the senator.
"It will be new source Of revenue,
but the old sources, the indirect tariff
and internal revenue taxes, still will
be worked to the limit. Until there
is reduction in the revenue from
these other sources this simply will be
an additional burden. 1t will be sim
ply another means Of securing revenue
to crafty our scandalous desire to
spend money"

LOGGERS WANT SKILLED men
Would Have Profession Taught In
Northwest Institutions.

Northwest institutions.
Spokane ~ In an effort to establish
the profession of logging engineering
and to secure chairs Of logging engi-
neering in western colleges, several
hundred lumbermen will meet in Spo-
kane September "a to 26 for the ses-
sions of the Pacific Logging congress.
The steady increase of the cost of log
ging, due to the receding Of the tim
Der from the banks of streams and the
disappearance of accessible bodies,
has compelled lumber operators of
Washington, Idaho, Montana, Oregon,
California and British Columbia to d.
rect their best efforts to the logging
problems. The Pacific Logging con-
gress has been organized to study the
work on broad plan. At the fifth
annual session in Spokane this fall the
principal object will be to create pub
lie sentiment favoring logging engi-
neering courses in the colleges. Many
lumbermen favor endowing a college
especially for this purpose.

Weeds Are Choking Wheat

Wilbur - Former Governor M. T..
Hay returned to Spokane recently
after making a two-dsy auto ride over
the lands of the Big Bend Land COM
pany, Of which company he is presi-
dent. The former governor had this
to say Of crop conditions:
1--WE found wheat that should yield
from 20 to 35 bushels to the acre
where the farming had been well
done. Oftentimes we found one field
with splendid stand Of wheat and
just across the road crop that would
not pay harvesting expenes. I believe
the ranchers in many instances have
tried to farm too much land and as a
result the weeds are getting the best
Of the grain. We found either 2 good
crop or very poor one, and all due to
the care in farming the land"
Mr.. Hays trip covered the western
part Of Lincoln county and the eastern
part Of Grant.
