Protectionfor Carey
Act Settlers.

The Carey Act enacted in 1894
provided that if the land is not
reclaimed within ten years it shall
be restored to the public d domain.
The settlers on these projects who
have not been able to offer final
proof on account of the lack Of
water, and upon 1ncompleted
Cary Act projects upon which no
water has been furnished, because
of the failure of the operating
companies, have not, under exis-
ing laws, any claim upon the
land, even though they have
made the initial payme ofthree
or more dollars per acre.
Congressman Smith, of Idaho,
who is always on the alert in be-
half of those endeavoring to Sc
cure n home upon the public land
is preparing tor introduction a
bill providing that all entrymen
on Carey Act projects, who have
made the initial pay ment, shall
be entitled to the land which they
have entered, by payment of 81,
25 per acre additional in the ev-
ent that the land is restored to
the public domain While he
admits that the land is probably
worthless without water, ne con-
tends that the settlers should be
given the privilege of purchasing
the land, if they SO desire, as they
will then be protected i'll their
holdings and be IN a position to
negotiate for water with the new
companies which undertake to
reclaim the land, should the land
again be segregated under the
Carey Act.

Miss Mae Lowe
Candidate for Supt.
of Schools of
Cassia County.

Miss Lowe is native of Cassia
county having been born and reared
in the county. She has received the
greater part of her educational trai-
ming in the schools of Idaho, and
now holds a life diploma from the
State Normal In addition to her
Normal training, she took special
work during summer term at the
University Of Washington.
Miss Lowe has been engaged in
school work in Idaho for the past
eight years and six of those eight
years have been spent within Cassia
county. She has proved herself a
very successful teacher, for in every
instance she has succeeded herself,
unless other positions pi esented them
selves which afforded greater oppor-
tunities. The past three years, Miss
Lowe has been employed as a teach
er in the Public School of Oakley
where her work was in every respect
a success.
She is already familiar with the
office work Of County Superintend-
ent as she has served as assistant SUI
perintendent to some extent. Miss
Lowe is a lady of excellent charac-
ter. Without a doubt she is thor
oughly familiar with the school con-
ditions of Cassia county and if nom-
mated and elected will make a very
strong Superintendent.

Piano School Closes
Successful Term.

After very successful term of
ten weeks the piano school, hold
ing forth in the Public School
Building, closed Friday, August
21st. The systematic and daily
recitation plan OF piano study as
conducted by Mr.. Read is a new
idea and has proved very succ-
essful indeed. Besides the regular
practice at the keyboard, addi-
tional work has been given from
the blackboard, thus enabling
each student to gain a most
thorough working knowledge of
music.
Although the above plan was
a new undertaking in Oakley a
class of forty pupils were enrolled
and all have made splendid pro-
gress. There has already been
numerous inquiries as to the con-
tinuation of this school next
season, but in all probability the
same course will be conducted,
