able estate. In the case of Hussman
VS.. Durham (155 u. S. 144) the SUI
preme court of the United States de-
clares that the public lands OF the
United States were not subject to tax
alton by a state and that the power to
tax come into existance only when
the right to a patent had been fully
earned by the entryman. 1t is plain,
then, that the lands of your entry are
not subject to taxation by the state.
The state of California has asserted
the right to lay a tax upon the pos
sessory interest in public lands as
distinguished from the lands them
selves, and upon permanent improve
ments upon such lands. The state law
also declares that taxes due upon i'm
provements shall constitute lien up
on the land upon which the improve
ments exist. The California court up
held the right of the state under the
state law just cited, and further held
that the state could force the sale of
the land, and put the purchaser in
possession by judicial process.

PATRONS MAY PHONE

Holds Telephone Co. Cannot Compel
Use of Slot Machine-Case May Go
to Interstate Commerce Commission.

SALT LAKE CITY-Orders were is
sued by Judge f. c. Loofbourow in the
district court this morning to the
Mountain States Telephone and Tele-
graph company to Immediately recon-
meet and reinstate in service a tele-
phone removed from the Walnut lii
quor company's place of business on
East Second South street because pa
irons of the place were not forced to
use the pay as you phone" instru-
ment but were allowed the use OF the
ordinary instrument
Removal OF this telephone positively
cut the Walnut companys liquor de-
partment and cigar store off from out
side communication, because the tele
phone company will not give outside
connections to pay stations. The Wal
nut company, however, was paying
for two listings in the book, but had
outside service only on one telephone
An effort beng made by counsel
for the petitioners against the tele-
phone company, who recently opened
fight against the regulations i'm
posed by the company as to the use
of the instruments, to have the mat
ter laid before the Interstate COM
merCe commission and adjusted
through that tribunal. This will be
made possible through the action of
the telephone company in removing a
telephone from the Metrapole hotel,
wul,n AT Ine cine was IN interstate
commerce, there being a long distance
call in from the Metrapole hotel pay
telephone to Butte, Mont. Before the
connection was made, however, the

of the house had been permitted its
use rather than being compelled to
use the nickel in the slot machine
and as a result the interstate connec-
ton could not be made

In just one working day of eight
hours a Tennessee rural schoolhouse

which the community was Justly
proud.
The bureau of Education In this
city has recently made public q let

pIished. and how. by this clean 'up
campaign.

Clean-Up, Paint-Up Work
To Be Started Tomorrow

In more than 5000 cities and towns OF
the United States. the paint brush and
the scrubblng brush will hold sway
tomorrow morning.
For tomorrow morning will be the
beginning Of the annual "Clean-Jp and
Paint-Up" week.
Among the civic centers where the
movement has gained the greatest
headwcy, is Washington. For many
years the possessor of a reputation for
sanitation far beyond that Of most
other cities OF rs size. Washington has
taken -up the movement with enthusi-
asn,. Under an Impetus given II by the
Master House Painters and Decorators
Association. this city for the past two
years has taken a more than active
part in the campaign.
Wider Significance.
II is pointed out by supporters OF the
movement than Clean-Up and Paint Up
" eek has far greater significance
than simply eradicating the accumula-
tIons Of rubbish In every dwelling end
brlgh ening up tho exteriors Oi houses
and garages with spick and span coat
CO paint.
Hand in hand with the work Of reno-
walton 60 a good many accomplish.
ncnts which cannot help but make for
the betterment Of living conditions In
any community.
As the work goes on, the removal OF
rubbish breaks up the breeding place
OF flies. The determination OF weeds
eradicates many Of the strongholds oi
The cleansing OF streets and alley
with unusual care reduces the danger
OF germ contamination.

CAPTURES GIURGEVO

LONDON, Nov. 29.-Berlm reports that Mackensen has captured the Rounanan city of Gimgevo on the Danube This places Mackensen thirty seven miles from Bucharest Falkenhayn has also taken possession ot Krrtea Ardjs an important railroad terminus ninety miles northwest of Bucharest Anxiety for the fate ot Bucharest is growing here The captures by Mackensen show an advance of thirty miles by him in one day so that the opposition must be very slight Bucharest IS silent apan but the retirement of the Roumanans is reported orderly The question is now being asked frankly in Lon
 n if the entry of Roumania into the did the least good to the allied cause Also the question being asked whether Russia did its duty by Roumania by reinforcing its army sufficiently Experts are trying to get deeply n to matters to ascertain whether RoumanaS collapse IS due to lack of strategca knowledge on the part ot the allied leaders and consequent nasty invasion of Iransy vania by the Romanians It is still hoped that Sakharof may relieve the situation by vigorous campaign in Do bruda.

TWO DEAD IN
 FAIRBANKS FIRE
HORRIBLE TRAGEDY ALSO OC- OURS AT OTHER TERMINAL
 OF GOVT. RAILROAD.

FAIRBANKS, December 1.-The infant child of Mir. and Ms. J. P. Sherman, and a young girl named Mary Porter are dead as the result of a fire which occurred in the Sher- man home here last Wednesday,. Mr. and Mrs. Sherman were absent from the house at the time and had left their six years old daughter Irene and the baby one year old in the care of Mary Porter a neighbor's daughter. The fire was caused when Irene at tempted to light fire in the stove with coal oil. The house caught fire and the children were unable to get out. Irene and Mary were rescued by passer-by who was not aware of the fact that the baby was still in the house. Later Fireman Jack Hansen and Jack O'Connor rushed through the blaze and dragged out the infant but it died that same night. The Porter girl passed away yesterday. Irene is expected to recover but will be disfgured for life. A remarkable fact connected with the tragedy of the Shermans is that when they were on the trail in the Totatanika year ago ~other baby of theirs was frozen to death in a storm.

 On leaving the city StOker walked to Mile l2 and stayed at the road house that night.
 The man killed and the wounded man seem to be men of about thirty years of age. Both were R. R. la borers.
 When Marshal Evans arrived in town this afternoon he stated that he and Weaver had stopped at Vaughan's roadhouse at Mile 21 last night. No trace of Stoker has been found. This morning the marshal came back to Mile 16 and there found a sleeping bag about 10 a. m. He is almost pos tive that the bag belongs to Stoker and its appearance showed that it had

The forces under Villa are estimated at six thousand men while Treyno is said to command only half that number The Cauanza generals are reported be concentrating at Sauz where Mugua stationed and it is hoped to bring the government forces there up to twenty thousand men.

Evans is now awaiting orders from aVldez. It IS thought that Stoker may have gone up Snow river just beyond Mile IA as he has a cabin about a mile and a half up the river. It is, however, thought possible that he might have gone on beyond Mile 21 last night although a close watch had been kept all along the line.

siarshall For Wick (Later)

FAIRBANKS, Nov 29.-Marshall City has been heard from and it is found that it gave a plurality of four to Wickersham, contrary to all ey- pectations. This leaves only ten votes at Point Barrow to be heard from in the Second division The results from the Kuskokwim precinct wa> received this afternoon and show Sul- ger with twelve votes and Wicker sham with six. This makes the total votes for the Fourth division: Sul- ger ,666; Wickersham 1,659. The total vote in the territory as compiled in Fairbanks now shows Sulzer lead ing by fifty votes with only one hun dreG and twenty-two to hear from. Of twelve remaining votes to be heard from in this division Wickersham Is likely to get a majority. Unless Wickersham gets two to one of all the remaining votes in the Third division he cannot be elected.
