LAND BOARD ACTS ON TWIN
CONTINUED From Page -

CONTINUED FROM rage u
in reference to REIMBURSEMENT of GER
tain lands of the Salmon River-Twin
Falls irrigation project and presented
map which was ordered to become
part of the minutes
Moved by Governor Alexander and
carried that the lands shown on the
map above marked in red and enumer-
ated in tabulated list above the relin-
ouishment by the state of Idaho to the
national government at very early
date. These lands have reference TO
the Carey act lands under the project
of the Twin Falls-Salmon River tract.
1.-THE following resolution was pre-
scented by Attorney General walters,
in relation to lands on the Salmon
River tract which was duly carried.
1t is the sense of the land board that
all lands west of range Is east and ali
lands south of township 1875 south as
indicated on exhibit "A" above, except
that portion entered in sections "a
and 25 of township II south, should be
excluded from the project and that the
company should, if possible, absorb
such entries by the third Friday in
June of 1917, and that the company Is
hereby requested to report at the
meeting OIL lnG DOdA u 'AC tAAAAN-
in June of this year what progress
they have made"
Asked with reference to the effect
of the above action, Manager G. vi.
Hall of the Salmon river company
said that he understood this to be sim
NV the expression of the wishes OF
the board and as presenting point
toward which to work. 1t was similar
to the propositions before the board
during the past two years, and II was
impossible to forecast the results OF
efforts which might be made
Mr. Hall said that he was before
the board at their request with maps
showing lands within the project
which had not been filed on or which,
having been filed on, were later re
linquished. The board determined to
relinquish such lands, which restores
them to the public domain and makes
them subject to either homestead or
desert land entry.
ii. The lands included in the part of
the project which it was suggested
should be retained take in the north
west district, which it was at one
time thought should be eliminated.
Mr.. Hall said that the statement that
the deletion would leave $4,000 acres
was simply an unofficial estimate.
Mr. Hall stated that while the run
off this year has been slower than
last on account of the late spring and
the compactness of the snow, condi-
lions on the tract appear unusually
favorable, as there is a great amount
of snow yet to melt in the hills.
Attorney c. o. Longley, who repre-
sents the settlers in the suit pending
in the federal court, said that he was
not personally informed in regard t.
the intentions of the land board, but
he judged from reading of the resolu-
ton that it was simply an expression
of the wishes of the board and not 8
peremptory order.

ton to protect our great cities from
the possibility of almost indescribable
destruction from air raids. Paris fur
nishes a good example of such defens-
es. These defenses include numerous
expert aviatOrs with swift armed aero
planes; numerous anti-air craft guns
capable of throwing a shell four miles
into the air, mounted in and around
the city, some of them on cars that
can be transferred rapidly on the city
electric lines; numerous powerful
searchlights to cover the air above the
city with a network of light; sensitive
microphones to detect the sound of an
approaching propeller; the whole sys-
TEN connected by telephone and wire
less with controls in secret under
ground chambers like the mine case
ments of a fortified harbor.
With separate Department of
Aeronautics, with a man like General
Goethals at its head, with the expert
ence of Great Britain and France to
guide us, we can have a great air
fleet in year. Under the present sys-
TEN we may never have it.
If we should be crippled or seriously
injured by the superior air fleets of
a hostile nation, would it not be super
lative irony and tragedy that we
should be struck down by a weapon
which we ourselves forged?
1t would be like the eagle of Aesop's
fable-pierced by an arrow feathered
from his own wing.

Patrol Commission, of which have
the honor to be chairman, wrote to
the President, stating, among other
things, that !, 1000 aeroplanes along our
Atlantic Coast would increase the eff
ficiency of our coast protection 200 to
300 per cent.
Second-We need an efficient air
patrol of every mile of our Mexican
frontier, a line four times as long as
the present European western battle
front. Had there been a dozen avia-
tors and serviceable planes at Column
bus when villa made his raid he would
have been located and captured within

Third-We need anti-air craft de-
lenses for our great cities. There

HUNTINGTON, West Va, April %
Bandits armed with revolvers and
with faces hidden behind black masks
swept down on the polling places in
Rockhouse precinct, Mingo county,
shortly before the ballots of the 1914
congressional election were counted,
held up the entire election staff at the
point of guns and stole the entire
franchise of the precinct. Poll books,
ballot boxes and election paraphenalia
were carted away.
Two brothers of a former governor

Three others-Noah White, George r.

Japan is confronted with an in
ternaI political crisis, like it's allies in
the war. The opposition to the ad-
ministration of First Marshal Count
Terauchi has opened a vigorous cam
paign on the ground that the Terau-
chi nonpartisan cabinet was formed
in violation of the spirit Of the con-
stitution. The Constitutional party,
which has a majority in the house of
peers and is under the leadership Of
Viscount Kato, former minister of for
eign affairs, has joined hands with the
Nationalist group in the lower house
for war against the premier.
The battle will be fought out in
the diet. Count Terauchi and Wis
count Mofltono, foreign minister de-
livered addresses in defense of the
administration.
The Japanese press expects the out
come of the crisis to be dissolution
and a new election.
