The land commissioner replied that
he could see no reason why honest

as they act in good faith. He gave
assurance that such would be the poll

At this point Governor Spry read a

Withdrawal OF lands supposed to
contain oil Was criticised by Governor
Spry, who said that in one instance the
government withdrew 10000 acres in

had found an oil well in the vicinity.
He said that this withdrawal put an
effectual stop to an irrigation project
then under way, as it absolutely pre-
vented the development Of the water
that had been counted upon.

main belonged 10 the people and should
be distributed among them by free

possible.
In the course Of his remarks, the Col
orado governor declared that .'no mat
ter how fair the proposition may be
that we put to congress. that body turns
II over TO the departmental otficials,
and any adverse report by those depart
mental officials is equivalent to the dc.
feat of that measure.
Governor Carey agreed with this,
where congress had acted contrary to
such reports.
Declaration Of Carey.
''I tell you this wholesale blanket
reservation OF great tracts of land, be-
cause certain portions Of il are sup
posed to contain oil, or other mineral,
is very detrimental TO the west,'' said
Governor Carey.
Mr.. Dezendorf, speaking as man
and not as a public official. admitted
that this policy had been overdone and
that the classifications necessary be-
fore this land could be restored to pub
lie entry again were not made fast
enough.
Commissioner Tallman at this juno
ture asked if the governors believed the
same policy should be pursued in re-
gard to coal lands as they had advo.
Gated for oil lands. Again he was
greeted with a unanimous affirmative
reply,
The present coal land policy is ab"
soluteIy nonsenslcal ~ me- Governor
Spry said. "For the life CT me I can
not understand why the government |
wants to curtail the development of the
coal lands in the west. 1t takes 81 COM
bination Of capital TO undertake that |
development at all and it seems to me |
that the government should encourage |
the opening of the vast coal deposits |
as rapidly as possible instead of allow
ing them to lie idle.
"Why, here in Utah, he continued,
''we have coal enough lying just be.
meath the surface to last the world for
500 years and they talk about conserv-
ing it. What we need is development.
would be willing to wager that long.
ong before the present coal supply is
exhausted our children will have taken
% using other substitutes for fuel.
Governor Spry went on to tell of the
wonderful advancement in the use Of
electricity, predicting that it would sup
1lant coal entirely within the next cen
Jury or even less.

Word was received Saturday that
Will Keye, a senior this year in Fargo
college, had received the appointment
for a position next year in the
Protestant Syrian college in Beirut

This is an exceptional opportunity
for educational work. and a splendid
chance for travel in Europe and Asia,

The institution in which Mr.. Keye
will be an instructor is by no

ment OF about 1000 students, speaking
the English language, boasts of
all the student activities Of any of
the American colleges, among which
are a giee club, orchestra, and band,
not to mention the different thriving
literary organizations and athletic
teams.
The students of Fargo college have
been hearing some very interesting
talks on mission work, and many of
the young men have become deeply
interested. Mr.. Keye was especially
Impressed with the outlook for serv-
ice in Syria, and following a chapel
talk about ten days ago decided to
make application for the position.
Heretofore eastern men from Harvard,
Princeton and Yale have been taking
advantage of such positions, which
were practically unknown to the west
ern college men.
1t is an interesting fact that this
field is not far south of that covered

student who is doing excellent educa-

same distance from the home of Hrant
AtVaZian, the Armenian student who
made the football team at Fargo COL
lege last year.
Mr.. Keye's friends in Fargo will
dislike to see him depart from this
country, but are sure of his success
in Syria. His proficiency in outside
activities, especially photography,
athletics, music and surveying will
make him a valuable acquisition to
the Syrian university. Contract calls
