1t is matter of public record that
the Capital News owes $4,000 and
common rumor has it that difficulty
has been found in meeting the interest
payments. Whether this be true or
not do not know, but if true it is a
misfortune and not a crime.
More Evidence as to Value.
was gratifed to find in my mail
this morning the following letter:
BOISE, Idaho, Sept. 20, lol4.-Mr
n. Jenness, Register State Land
Board, Boise, Idaho. Dear Sir: see
by today's Capital News that the state
land boand is attacked on account OF
a loan of 5000 made to you and 4
Mr.. Barnes, on lands in section 4,
township l3, range 4, in Boise county.
The article does not state the number
of acres covered by the loan, but |
Judged from the description there was
100 or more acres mortgaged.
| have been making loans in the
Long Valley country for the past s
or 9 years. and l am familiar with
the loan conditions existing there. At
or before the time this loan was made,
good lands in this vicinity were selling
at $40 to $45 per acre.
placed several thousand dollars in
this vicinity between one and two
years ago, on first mortgages on the
basis of these values; the mortgages
running from $500 to $500 a quarter
section. Other loan companies were
placing loans of similar amounts on
these lands.
had loan of $500 on lands ad-
joining the river in section 6 in this
same township. had another loan OF
$500 on 100 in this vicinity.
write you this and mention these facts
on account of being familiar with the
loan conditions prevailing in the Long
Valley country at the time your loan
was made, and do so entirely in the
interest of fair play, as | think the
attack made on the land board on ac-
count of this loan is unjust and UNI
called for at this time.
Yours truly,
(Signed) NJ. f. LEWIS,

In conclusion | have this PROPOSE
ton to make to the Capital News. Let
us ask D. R. Hubbard, Progressive;
Judge ]. H. Richards, Republican, and
K. |. Perky, Democrat, or any other
three men of unquestioned integrity
and ability to serve as a committee to
investigate this whole matter. If they
will visit the land in person, care

connected with this loan, or any other
loan on our books or any other act of
mine since have been in public Of

will resign the very day that such ad-
verse report is filed and pay the ex-
penses of the investigation.
If this committee reports that
have been guilty of no dishonorable
act in this loan or any other that my
Office is efficiently and honestly con-
Quoted the Capital News is to publicly
admit through its columns, that it is
liar and pay the expenses of the
investigation. If this regarded as a
bluff there is just one way to prove
it and that is to call it,
N. JENNESS,
Register State Land Board.

has been rescued from obscurity BY
the state tax commission and will BE-
the means of enriching the perma-
nent school fund by many thousands
OF dollars during the present bien-
mum. The law makes it the duty OF
all cashiers of banks, trust companies
etc., to report to the secretary Of
state all accounts of depositors which
have remained untouched for. 10
years. The state is entitled to es-
cheat such accounts if the depositors
do not appear. All banks, trust COM
panies and loan societies have been
notified by the tax commission to
prepare their statements required by
law, though the law has been neglect
ed for eight years. After notice has
been given to depositors who may be
living, by publication in newspapers
in the vicinity of the banks, the com.
mission will then proceed to escheat
the accounts.

Timber Worth
Thousands To Be
Sold January 9Th

On January 6, there will be sold
by County Auditor Charles A. Burr,
before the Thurston county court
house in this city, timber belonging
to the tsate of Washington of an ap-
praised value of approximately Sill
675. One tract of state land ap-
praised at S1,724 will also be sold.
The sale will be at public auction.
January is the date of the next
regular sale Of state land, and at
that time one of the largest sales
in the history of the public land de-
partment will be held. While little
of the property to be disposed OF
in Thruston county is agricultural
land, the reverse is true in many
of the 26 counties in which state
land will be sold on that date. This
is due largely to the fact that farm
ers who have made application to
purchase lands are anxious to Sc
cure title in time to proceed with
the regular spring work of plowing
and seeding. Land Commissioner
Clark v. Savidge last fall issued
notice urging all persons who deslr-
ed to begin development of lands dur
ing the coming spring to enter their
applications in time for the Janu-
ary sale, as it requires consider
able time to complete the Office work
SO as to execute complete deed
The timber in this county that Will
be sold, together with its approx
mate appraised value, is as follows;
Timber on ~ acres in section 80,

Mail Robbed On
Steamer WhatCom

A United States mail robbery oc-
Cured on the steamer Whatcom Fri,
day night somewhere between Ana
cortes and Seattle. Although sever
al bags were taken it is thought that
only one of them was Anacortes mail,
the remainder being rom Bellingham
The Whatcom, which is owned by
the Inland Navigation company, left
Bellingham Friday night at 9 o'clock
with mail and taking on more mail
at Anacortes at 1915, proceeded df-l
rect to Seattle.
The thieves evidently had state
room on the boat in which to work
for the evidence shows that they cut
open the mail bags, took out the
packages and parcels and unwrapped
them and then tied up the bags and
wrappings in sheet and threw them
into the bay. A fisherman picked up
the sheet-wrapped bundle Saturday.
That the robbers were at least con-
siderate of senders of Christmas gifts
:
is shown by the fact that several peo-
pie in Anacortes are in receipt of
typewriter notes saying that the
mails had been robbed and that GER
tain presents would never reach their
destination.
Members of the. crew are supected.
It is said that it would be- practically
impossible for anyone except mem
bers of the crew to enter the mail
compartment without being observed.
The suspicion is further strengthened
by the fact that the boat did not stop
between Anacortes and Seattle, and
that it would be hard for passengers
on the boat to remove the loot.

MRS. YOUNG IS REINsTATED

Mrs. Young was voted back into

public schools after a storm session
of the board as some of the members
refused to vote on the ground that
the board had no power to reconsider
the election of John D. Shoop, assist
ant superintendent under Mrs. Young
who had been elected her successor.
Contention also was made that the
four new members of the board NAM

The action of the board in remov-
ing Shoop and replacing Mrs. Young
will at once be challenged in court.
it was announced by the opposition
Mrs. Young's failure to be re-el-
ected two weeks ago by the school
hoard reused storm of popular In
dignation. Mass meetings were held
and the school board and the mayors
ofice were besieged by delegations
which demanded that Shoop resign
and make way for Mrs. Young to
come back. Mayor Harrison declar-
cd that members of the school board
appointed by him have voted against
Mrs. Young In an "underhanded
way. He summarily accepted the
