within the boundaries of these federal
reserves. By far the larger portion of
Of the territory embraced within the
boundaries of these forest reserves
was unsurveyed. The federal govern
ment has steadfastly maintained that
the establishing of a reserve exiting
uished whatever claim the state had
to unsurveyed sections within it's
boundaries. The state mas as stoutly
maintained that 1t did not. Be that as
it may, the government holds the key
to the situation in that it is not oblig-
ed TO survey these lands. The state has
sustained a further loss of it's lands
by settlement, that is, where a settler
has squatted upon lands prior to the
survey and upon being surveyed it is
found to be either sections 16 or SO
and thus part of the school grant
In such cases the government has al
ways ruled that the settler had a pri-
or claim and has issued a patent for
the land.
The federal government offered to
recognize the claim of the state to the
extent of permitting it to select an
equal amount of lard from the unap-
Dropriated government land outside of
the forest reserves under a federal
statute providing for the selection OF
lieu lands by the state. The state de-
clined to do this for the simple reason
that it would be impossible to find
among the unappropriatcd government
lands tract that even Appropriated
in value of that lost by the state. In the
summer of 1913, accompanied by At
torney General Tanner I visited Wash
ington, D. c. Numerous conferences
were had with the federal officials. at
which this matter was thoroughly con-
sidered The result or these confer
ences was an agreement between the
state of Washington and the federal
government which is subsequently as
follows:

CHEATS AND THE BRONZE GRASSES

Many farmers of Okanogan county
are complaining about the damage
done their alfalfa fields by cheat.
Upon Investigation, three varieties
lof cheat are found to be present in
many of the fields. These are the
Bromus tectorium, Bromus sterilis and
the Bromus secalinus. Some common
name for them taken collectively are
Mormon oats, Cheat, Water Thief and
Chess. They are annual plants and
come from the seed each year.
Besides doing very great damage
10 alfalfa fields, cheat materially re-
duces the yield of grain, sometimes
choking it out entirely. A common be-
iiet among the farmers it that grain
under certain conditions, turns to
cheat' This is absolutely impossible.
CHEAT and grain belong to different
FAMILIES and are as different as the
turkey and the duck. Under no condi-
tion could We expect to hatch a turkey
from ducks egg; and neither could
we expect to obtain cheat plant from
wheat or oat seed.
The seeds of the cheat plant are
very small and light. Millions of them
are often planted in a single sack of
gram seed without the sower becoming
aware OF their presence. These tinv
seed Immediately sprout, the young
pants are more hardy than are the
gram plants, and grow with far freater

CORN EXHIBIT.

During the month Of December
big corn show is to be held In st.
Paul, at which every western state
will be represented. 1t is important
that the Okanogan valley should be
represented in this exhibit, as the show
will be visited by thousands Of people
interested in the production Of this
great grain staple and as IN advertise.
ment for the country such display
would be invaluable. A large collection
of corn is not required. only few
ers, and it will require no labor what.
soever on the part of the farmers T.
prepare samples for this display. The
special reason why northern 0kanogan
county should be represented is that
an erroneous impression prevails 10
many quarters that corn cannot be
successfully grown in this country. II
has been supposed that the nights are
too cold for the filling and maturing Of
the kernel This is fallacy. Just u
good corn can be raised In this neigh.
borhood as in the most celebrated corn
state in the Mississippi valley. Al
excellent exhibit eau be collected II
those growing corn will only cooper
ate in providing samples. Full par
ticulars in regard to the corn show, the
prizes offered and the exhibits requir'
ed can be obtained at the First Nat
onal bank OF Oroville. The following
letter from F w. Graham, western
industrial and immigration agent OF
the Great Northern road, shows that
the Great Northern people arc keenly
interested in northern Okanogan coun'
ty being interested at the show:

THE HOOSIER
SCHOOLMASTER
IS DELIGHTFUL

The Hoosier Schoolmaster' in
moving picture form is even more de
lightful than Edward Eggleston's inn
mortal story in book form. 1t began
run Of che week at Ye Liberty the
alter yesterday and was pronounced
By the big crowd last night as one
most appealing and intensely human.
The story is laid in rural Indiana
when the Hoosier state was then the
western frontier Ralph Hartsook, a
bcokish man, who is portrayed by Max
Figman, comes into this community
as the new sehooImaster The COM
munity had no love for schoolmasters
and had the reputation of driving
every teacher away who had ever at
tempted to teach in the district.
The schoolmaster takes up his
abode with the worst schoolmaster
hater Of them all, Bud Means, sixfoot-
two tall and with the reputation Of
having licked" every sehoolmaster
who dared to cross him.
In the Means family was young
woman bound out as a servant who is

which gives rise to sequence of rich
est comedy. The young woman is
played by Lolita Robertson. Comedy
is also furnished in liberal doses by
the school room scenes and the jokes
which the backwoods boys play on
their teacher.
Although threatened ON many occa.
sions if he did not leave Flat Creek
that harm would come to him, the
schoolmaster refuses to leave. Ac-
cordingly coterie of bad men under
the leadership of Pete Jones,a crooked
politician, plan to ruin the schoolmas-
ter by fastening crime on him. He
is given bag containing $500 with
which to pay debt. Jones snbstf-
tutes bag filed with paper for the
real money bag. When this is found
out the schoolmaster is accused OF
theft. Crowds gather and public SEN
timent runs high A lynching party
is formed but Bud Means, who has
always been the enemy of the school
master, suspects crookedness and de-
termines to aid Hartsook He does
this by turning loose the horses from.
his corral and stampeding them down
the road on which the lyRehers are
gathered, thoroughly disorganizing
the party. Later at the trial of the
schoolmaster an unexpected turn OF
events brands Pete Jones as the
guilty man. In the end everything is
serene and happy.
