Working on Marble Creek Case,
Especial Correspondence

'EVAhbhS VII ATeth N6SeSs
Washington, ID. c., Jan. 2O.-+At the
regular meeting of the public lands
committee in the senate, Senators
Borah and Brady appeared with At
torney General Peterson and State
Land Commissioner Day in behalf of
Marble Creek land cases. Speeches
wer made by Senators Borah and
Brady urging the early passage of the
Borah bill which authorizes the secre-
tary OF the interior to make transfers
necessary to enable the state to get
lands OF equal value to the lands in
township A range and east Boise
meridian, which are now under litiga-
ton in the department of the interior,
known as the Marble Creek land
cases.
The Idaho delegation are solidly back
of this bill, and the senators are re-
ceiving letters and kilograms from
North Idaho asking for immediate ac-
ton on these claims.
BY way of comment Senator Brady
had the following to say with refer
ence to the Marble Creek cases.
1.-THE lands in the Marble Creek have
been in dispute practically since 1901
The whole trouble arose over the fact
that the national government did not
notify the register and receiver of the
land office at Occur d'Alene that the
state had filed on the lands.
Several attempts have been made
to settle the matter, but without avail
However, | feel quite sure that we
have the matter satisfactorily solved
and that the settlement will result in
the settlers in the Marble Creek dis
trict getting the land and the state
will get lieu lands of equal value, in
stead of lands given to the settlers.
This is happy ending; the home
steader gets his land, and the state
gets lieu land of equal value for oul
school fund, and everybody should be
happy"

Adjutant General l.. " Patch of

week attending the meeting of the
adjutant generals of the several
/ states. The object of the meeting was
/ to confer with the war department
and reach common ground upon which
to ask the legislature to provide for
pay for the militia. In order to keep
up their organizations the officers and
men of the National Guard throughout
the country have often been called up
on to make considerable personal sac
rifices, and as result of the meeting
here a bill was agreed upon which it is
felt will provide proper compensation
for the National Guard and greatly
promote it's efficiency SO that in case
of emergency it will be ready to act
with the regular army and fit into the
general plan of organization for the
national defense with the least posi-
Bile friction and delay. General Patch
took an active part in the delibera-
lions, and with the other adjutant gen.
erals in attendance was shown many
courtesies while here. Among the fea-
lures of the meeting was a visit tc
