Nothing Gained by Disputino,

Very little is gained by disputing.
Say what you think, listen to what an
other has to say, and stop there. When
one listens TO wrangling children, one
saying, 1T is" and the other, 1T isn't"
one wonders what they expect to gain
by keeping that up. No question is
ever settled by such disputing, and
nothing else is accomplished except Il
great deal of WEAKNESS TO the listeners.

THE PUBLIC LANDS
Figures Of Annual Report.
Recent EnaCtmentS.

According to Frank Langley, re.
gister OF the U. s. land Office at
Coeur d'Alene, information from
the last annual report shows that
during the fiscal year ending
June, 80, 1917, 10, 2o2, 900 acres OF
public lands were entered, and
during the same time 1I,313,ooo
acres were patented under all Of the
public land laws. The most of this
land was taken up under the home
stead laws.
AT the close Of the fiscal year
there were 23o,65o, 900 acres of
unappropriated public lands in the
United States. OF this area
IA, 3I6, 900 acres are in Idaho and
, 1877, 900 acres are in the Occur
d'Alene land district, which COM
prises the FIVE northern counties of
the state.
During the year the following
public land laws became operative;
The stock.raising homestead act
OF Dec. 40, 1916, provides for
64o acre stock raising homestead
on lands designated by the secre-
tary OF the interior as chiefly valua
ble for grazing and raising forage
crops, and which do not contain
merchantable timber and are not
susceptible of irrigation and are of
such a character that 64o acres are
reasonably required to support a
family.
The act OF October S, 1917, sus-
, pends the requirements OF annual
! assessment work on mining claims
during the years 1917 and 1918,
provided the owner files in the
Office of the county recorder Of the
county where the mining claim il
situated notice of his desire tc
hold the claim under said act.

BY A. w. HANSEN,
Food Commissioner

The food and drug inspection work
Of the Territory of HaWSsii is conduct,

by the federal government through
the Department of Agrif ulture on the

tie other hand.
Much could be said il favor of this
joint arrangement for tia carrying out
of-the important work jof this office.
In the first place it wt:lld cost more
to maintain two offices, but Of greater
Importance is the fact ahat it brings
into more intelligent cooperation the
federal and territorials agencies for
proper food and drug Inspection. The
federal government through its bureau

drug chemists needed and also advice
on all technical matters can be had
by reference to the research experts

gently through exhaustive research

through its research department is
gradually securing a mass Of expert,
mental data which enables the gov
eminent to define corr ectly the food
and drug standards already set by
nature and to set reasonable stand
ards in all prepared foods and drugs
The territorial government, or more
specifically speaking. the board OF
health, through its intimate knowledge
of local conditions and its territory.
wide organization is ideally qualified
to have the more immediate control
of our food and drug inspection work.
