ENDOWMENT
OF STATE COLLEGE
Continued from First Page)


| 600 and in 1866 the comptroller was
authorized by the legislature to sell
the remainder of the grant to the
trustees of Cornell University for not
less than 80 cents per acre. The
trustees were unable to make the
purchase, and Ezra Cornell took the
remaining scrip for S13,920 acres for
80 cents per acre. Mr. Cornell placed
much of the scrip on rich timber land
| in the lake states, and ultimately
realized some $4,000, 900 for it. The
state of New York had received a lit
tie less than 100000 for the same
scrip. This he gave to Cornell Uni
yersity when he died, so that now
the largest endowment Cornell has
came indirectly through the land
grant of 1852.
Other states, however, have not
been as lucky as was New York.
Mississippi. f5r instance. received
from the grant of 1862, 207, 1920
acres, which were sold for $1S2,92O.
Louisiana disposed of its grant of
100000 acres for $1S2,313. Both of
these states had the choicest long
leaf pine lands within their borders
from which to choose their allot-
ment.
THE failure on the part of the
states to administer this fund in
husiness-like manner probably caused
congress to place in the enabling act
minimum price of $40 per acre
for which college and public school
lands can be sold in the states of
North and South Dakota, Montana,
Wyoming Idaho, and Washington.
1t was this provision of congress
that has saved to the state of Wash
ington large part of the grants to
it's state educational institutions.
I'm making the land grant of 1862,
the intention was to place the in
situations on a basis where they
would not have to appeal to the
states for support. The only ex-
penditure sought from the state was
that necessary to erect the build
ings However, the land grants
have shrunken up till in many states
they do not buy coal to heat the
buildings. Kansas administered it's
funds somewhat better than the av-
erage. 1t received little less than
10000 acres, which was sold for a
half million dollars, and for 80 years
the Kansas Agricultural College ran
on the income from this fund. with
out asking the state for cent.
I'm Washington we are now face
to face with a crisis. The rise in
stumpage values of timber has made
state lands bearing timber often ten
times as valuable as the minimum
selling price set by congress. The
State College of Washington alone
has timber lands that are capable of
bringing larger return than has
been realized by all the other states
i'll the Union from the sale of their
Morrill, land grant. In order to
realize that sum the regents of the
institution should have power to
withdraw the lands from the market
at times inopportune for sale, and
to place them on the market when
they can be disposed of advantage
ously. The present law gives no dis
erection to the administrative offices
having charge of the sale of these
lands"

PELLAGRA VICTIM
DIES At MENDOZA
JOHN DAVENPORT OF FAIRFIELD
SUccUMBs TO DISEASE IN
STATE ASYLUM.
is SECOND DEATH IN YEAR
Several Other Persons in State Are
Afflicted With MaIady, According
to State Health Board Secre-
tary Harper.

Baraboo-John Davenport of Fair
field, who died at the state asylum at
Mendoza, is the second person in the
state to die of the dread disease, pei
lagra, this year. The other died last
spring.
Mr.. Davenport had been suffering
from the disease for several months
and recently went to Chicago to see
specialist, but, unable to obtain relief,
returned to Wisconsin and went to
Mendoza.
This disease is not common in this
section of the country, though the
secretary of the state board of health,
DR.. c. A. Harper, says that perhaps
seven to ten persons in the state are
suffering from the disease. He says
these are confined to insane asylums
as the effects of the disease cause per-
sons to become insane.
Dr. Harper says the disease had it's
origin in Italy and that it is supposed
to be spread by eating corn or corn
meal, though nothing definite is
known to this effect. He says the
greatest ravages of the disease are
among people who eat great quanti-
lies of cornmeal.

Mobile, Ala, Oct 29.-While avoid

dent Wilson delivered speech Monday
which appeared to be freighted with
significance and which served to point
with directness the policy of the Unit
ed States not only toward Mexico but
toward all Central ana South Ameri-
can republics.
Il want to take this occasion to say
that the United States will never again
seek another foot Of territory on this
continent by conquest" he declared,
in stirring address on Latin-Ameri-
can relations before the Southern
Commercial congress.
Come because / want to speak to

CHARLES G. GATES is
DEAD OF HEART DISEASE
Multi-MiIIionaire' Succumbs Following
Hunting Trip-Was Waiting
for His Train.

Cody, Wyo., Oct 3O.-Charles w.
Gates, multi-millionaire, of New York,
dropped dead in the Burlington depot,
a mile from here Tuesday Heart dis
ease caused his death.
Gates, with several companions, had
just returned from hunting trip, and
had gone to the depot to take train
for New York after thirty-three days
spent in the big game country. Other
members of the party are A. Morror,
G. Irving, Doctor Mothersell, Doctor
Williamson and Mr.. Heisler.
Coroner Louis Howe said he did not
consider an inquest necessary.
Mr.. Gates was married twice, his
first matrimonial venture proving UNI
happy. He said it was because he dis
liked society" that the first Mrs.
Gates, who was Miss Mary w. Martin
of St Louis, divorced him The de-
cree was signed some time in July or
August, 1911. although Mrs. Gates had
been granted her divorce early in that
year.
About the time that the decree was
signed Mr.. Gates engagement to Miss
Hopwood was announced by the young
woman's father, Frank Hopwood, who
was a grain man in Minneapolis. They
were married late in September in
Uniontown, Pa.
The second marriage proved a hap
pier one than the first.

Many Hunters Get Licenses.

Madison. That the number of resi-
dent game licenses issued in 1913 will
exceed the number issued in 1912 by
$4,000 is the opinion of Chief Game
Warden Sholts, who said that already
many counties have exceeded last
years records and have found it neces-
sary to ask for more blank forms.
Last year the total number of resi-
dent licenses issued was 100000 at 81
each. The record also shows that for
the present year the number of IL
censes granted to non-residents for
deer and small game exceeds the rec
ord of last year at the present time, al
though the rush season for deer hunt
ing licenses has not yet arrived. The
number of deer licenses granted up
to date is 1913.

STRIKERS
FIRE POSTOFF|CE
Federal Complications Seen in
Looting of Building.
GUARDS DEFEATED IN BATTLE
Union Miners Then Go to Empire
Property and Riddle the Boiler
House With BuIIets-No One
Reported Injured.

Trinidad, Colo, Oct 31-Fighting
among the striking miners in the
southern Colorado coal fields shifted
from Ludlow and it's immediate vicin-
itv to Aguilar, six miles north of the
big Ludlow tent colony Wednesday.
Possible federal complications were
Urecipitated at the office Of the South
western Fuel company, where a battle
waged between strikers and a handful
of mine guards.
After defeating the guards and re-
capturing the mine Office, in which
the postoffice also is situated, the
strikers are charged with having
knocked over a stove setting fire to
the building which was destroyed, to-
gether with it's contents of United
States mail, money orders ard money.
Postmaster Arthur Samples de-
clared evidences were present that
the mail had been rifed before the
building was fired, since envelopes,
opened, were found near by, half
burned.
The mine Office also was destroyed
with all its contents, the camp hav-
ing been surrendered wholly by the
guards.
The miners then went to the EN-
pire mine of the same company and
there began an attack. No resistance
was offered them and they withdrew
shortly, doing no more damage than
Kidding the boiler-house with bullets.
No one was injured in either camp.
Berwind, Colo, Oct. 30.-Three bat
ties, the hottest fought since the
strike of coal miners in southern Colo
RADIO began Tuesday, making the hrst
day of martial law in this district.
One mine guard was killed, four
union men wounded, two seriously;
two children of non-uniOn men shot,
one mine guard missing and a county
