FORFEITURE OF
BONDS DECLARED
BY LAND BOARD
Summary Action Taken
Against National Surety
Company and Title Guar
antee & Surety Company.

Forfeiture of three bonds aggregat-
ing $4,000 was declared for by the
state land board at it's meeting today
The attorney general was ordered and
directed to proceed forthwith to bring
suit against the National Surety COM
pany to recover the amount of the
bond, or $4,000 given by 1t to the
promoting company to assure compile
ton and carrying out of the contract
with the state for the irrigation OF
the King Hill extension project; and
against the Title Guarantee & Surety
company to recover the $4,000 bond
given in the King Hill project and
$4,000 on the Blaine county project.
This is the first time that the state,
through the land board, has taken def
mite action of this kind, or to recover
on the bonds given as a guarantee for
the completion of an irrigation works.
In all three instances and with rela-
ton to all three projects it is alleged
that the contract with the state was
never lived up to. that the promoting
companies became defunct and that the
state and the settlers suffered.
Action to Be Taken Immediately.
Governor Alexander introduced the
resolution calling for this summary ac-
ton. The other members Of the board
stood behind it after some little dis
cussion, The resolution was turned
over to the attorney general to have
the form slightly changed. The surety
companies will be notified and the at
torney general will. it is understood,
proceed Immediately to bring the three
separate actions.
The King Hill project is now the
property of the state. 1t was purchased
under the hammer at a public auction
held under the jurisdiction of the fed
eral court. Since then the state has
had a manager in charge of it's af-
fairs. The state has advanced from
the Carey act fund considerable money
to help keep the project on its feet. So
far this effort has been successful.
The land included within the project is
some of the best in the state.
During an argument before the SUI
preme court in litigation wherein an
individual settler brought suit to re-
cover on the bond of the promoting
company, it is said to have been
openly admitted that the only party
that could possibly have jurisdiction
or the right to bring suit to recover
on such bond was the state. The
state has decided. through the land
board, to test this matter out.
The only excuse that has so far
been given 50 far as can be learned
as to why the state had not brought
suit before was that more harm would
be done the actual settlers on the prof.
eets by so doing than could be re-
paid even if the amount of the bonds
was secured

ROOSEVELT URGES
UNION OF PARTIES
IN THE CAMPAIGN
Hopes to See Man Nomi-
mated on Whom the Re
publicans and Progress
sives Can Combine.

New York, May 2.--Colonei Theodore
Roosevelt, on his return here last
night from Chicago. issued a state
ment expressing qualification with the
reception of his views on prepared
ness. national duty and Americanism"
in the middle west. Mr.. Roosevelt de-
clare she is not interested in the po-
litical fortunes of himself and others,
and after outlining the principles adj
vocated in recent speeches, said
TT cannot be said too often that
this is time of crisis in the nations
career. We are now laying down the
foundation and the controlling lines of
new era in our history. Everything
can do will be done to see that the
people, west and east, realize the facts
and act accordingly.
by no act of mine, by no word of
mine, has this grave question been in
volved In factional politics. In every
state in which the law governs such
matters / have promptly withdrawn
my name from all factional struggles.
In cable message from Trinidad on
March 8 last l requested and insisted
that my friends in Massachusetts, re-
frain from such contest. and l would
have invoked the law there. as / did
in other states, if there had been such
a law.
Not for or Against Anyone.
In that statement also said that I
was not interested in the political for
tunes, either Of myself or others, and
/ have resolutely stuck to that deter
mination. l have not expressed and
do not intend to express myself as be-
ing for or against any man.
"As regards myself, l do not believe
that the delegates ought to nominate
me at Chicago unless they are pre-
pared whole heartedly and without re-
serve to make the fight along the
lines above outlined. l am fighting
for certain great and vital principles.
Those who take their stand in such a
matter because of factional or per-
sonal prejudice are either lacking in
patriotism or else are blind to the tre-.
mendous forces at work the world
over. In the midst of tragedy with
out parallel in the worlds vision, the
work to be done is not that of the
politician, but of the patriot.
Hopes for Combination.
For that reason l most earnestly
hope that the delegates who go to
Chicago will nominate some man on
whom Republicans and Progressives
can combine. and who, moreover, can
be heartily supported by all indepen-
dent citizens, and particularly by all
Independent Democrats who are loyal
to the nationalism of Andrew Jackson
and who are prepared to put the vital
honor and interest of this. nation
above all mere partisan considerations.
II hope they will choose a man
upon whom all can unite. and who, IL
elected. we can be absolutely certain
will put the principles above set forth
into actual effect in the government
of the country

thoroughly convinced that / will be

home at Standpoint. Lieutenant Gov
ernor Taylor referred in the above
statement to his candidacy for the Re-
publican nomination for governor. He
is an announced candidate. Reports

published. That he proposes to make
a finished fight for the nomination
within his own party is very apparent
The lieutenant governor was in the best
spirits before his departure and ap-
peared to be well pleased with the
manner in which his candidacy is be-
ing received both here and elsewhere
over the state.

mittee of the whole for amendment and
the fight was over making the attor-
ney general counsel for the commits

counsel at a heavy cost to the state,
the committe registered a tie vote to
report the bill for and against this
amendment. / cast the deciding vote

vote and l again cast my vote for the
amendment. My only purpose was to
