"bonehead" room. designation
known only TO the principal and Mr..
Little, and efforts were made to
ascertain the causes of failure of
each boy. In many cases the boys
said they could not get along with
certain teachers, so changes were
made. Daily reports were received
from the teachers as to the pro-
gress of each boy After nine weeks
an examination was given and the
81 boys passed in 81 subjects and
failed in SO. Twelve passed with
such credit that they were returned
to their classes. The twenty re-
naming passed in the next examina-

the juvenile court. however, :. his
age of eighteen years will not have
been reached until June 301h of

AT OLD HAUNTS
AFTER ABSENCE
q YEARS
Judge Beck Making Visit
Here From His Home
In Tucson,
(From Saturdays Daily.)

After an absence of twenty seven
years from Prescott, Judge William
E. Beck. OF Tucson, is again in the
city, arriving on Wednesday, on a
business and pleasure trip.
In 1873 he was a resident of that
section. but like many other Pill
grims of the ella. whenever a min
ing boom was on the boards or a
strike had been made somewhere
in the old territory, he packed his
Blankets in a jiffy and was off to
get his hands on the rainbow of
fortune that melted away before it
came within his grasp.
Notwithstanding he has seen the
ups and down of life, Judge Beck
still remains young and energetic.
Barring the effects of a wound in
his leg inflicted by the Apaches, he
still navigates with old time speed,
and as he expressed himself yester-
day is in fine fettle to get a move
on to grow up with the new State
He finds nothing of the old day in
familiar old cabin or one story shack
to point to, while the thinned ranks
of the old 'uns. he regards with ex-
pressions of sincere sorrow. After
concluding his business affairs, he
returns to the old pueblo, but con-
templates returning later to remain
for an extended visit.

at would be helpful to the courts
if editors of learning and character
would in a dignihed and intelligent
manner discuss the rulings of the
courts, whether by commentator or
whether by adverse criticism"
These statements were made in a
paper by Smith Mcpherson United
States District Judge, Southern Dis
trict of Iowa, which was read be
fore the National Press Association
yesterday. Judge Mcpherson did not
attend the meeting of the associat-
ion. In his paper which was entitled
Liberty of the Press" he discus
sed in a general way. the relations
that should exist between the courts
and the newspapers.
Intelligent criticism is invited"
said Judge Mcpherson. Slang and
vituoeration are despised by the
judge, and as l believe by the in
telligent of the public. Substantial
and honest and matured criticism
is of great aid to the courts, as
we'll as educators of the public.
Criticism at random tends to make
judge careless. Criticism of
newspapers should be of a kind. and
none other, than the editor would
use in conversation with the judge
Then there would be no bitterness,
but a useful exchange of views. And
with such criticism, progress will
be made. because such criticism is
within the limits of freedom of
the press" and not a mere license
for which there is no remedy, and
no resulting good. Let editors and
writers be gentlemanly towards the
judges. And let judges have a due
regard to the freedom of the press.
The public will then be the bene-
fciaries."

RESERVATION TO
Be OPENED TO
SETTLERS
Million Acres for White
Settlers Northeast
Of Spokane.

SPOKANE, Wash, June 1.-
One million acres of land will be
opened to entries by white settlers
when the Colville Indian reservation
so miles northeast of Spokane, is
thrown open to settlement not lat
er than July, 1915, under act of
Congress.
OF this amount a recent inves-
tigation shows that about 100000
acres may be classified as agricul-
tural land. providing no timber re-
serve is established.
The reservation contains 1873
go acres, and assuming that the
resident Indian population will &C
quire $500 allotments of 100 acres
each there will remain 9l3,2S0 acres
to be classified, appraised and sold
at not less than Sl,25 per acre to
bona fide settlers, as provided in the
act of Congress of March p, 1906.
James R. Sovereign, a resident of
Kellar. Wash, has made a careful
study of the reservation. He says
that out of the one million acres
to be thrown open 100000 is agricul-
tural land, and the rest may be clas-
sihed as mineral and grazing.
The reservation is in Ferry and
Okanogan counties, in eastern
Washington. Its greatest width from
the Columbia river north is about
50 miles and its greatest length is
about 65 miles. 1t has a water
frontage on the Columbia of $50
miles and on the Okanogan river OF
40 miles.
At present there are about $50
white persons on the reservation,
or about an average of one to every
10 square miles. They are mostly
engaged in mining and dependent
enterprises.
The agricultural lands are best
adapted TO stock raising. fruits and
grains. The forests will yield
hundreds of millions of feet Of
lumber. Although sufficient inves-
tigation has been conducted to re-
veal the presence of gold, silver,
copper. nickel and lead. lack of
transportation facilities has prevent
ed mining on a large scale How
