garding the assistance which the
office of the state land commissioner
may render in securing the quickest
and maximum results from state land,
submit for your consideration the
following:
The colored areas on the accompany
ing map indicate the approximate area
Of land suitable for dry farming pur-
poses, which is essentially for the pro-
duction Of wheat.
1t Is not possible at this time to
specify the exact location of particular
tracts of land this would necessitate
a thorough cruise of all holdings and
is not practical, as time for spring
work is now at hand.
But to accomplish the same end.
that is. the cultivation Of every avail
able acre. would recommend that 1
be authorized to prepare maps Of every
county. with large, attractive and ap-
propriate headings, showing the va
cant land, and forward same to every
county recorder, to be hung in the
most conspicuous place in the county
seat. also send supply of blank APP
plications to lease to the county re-
corders. with the request that all as
sistance be rendered applicants in the |
proper execution of the same.
That all newspapers in the state be (

ence Of this Information at the county /

jects be opened to settlement at once.

this defunct project would lie Idle.
Township 8 N. RAJ ID IL under
lease to the Fremont Wool Growers
association. The west tier and two
north tiers contain q quantity of land
suitable for agricultural purposes. I
would recommend that your honorable
,, board proceed to make this available.
The present lease on this township
does not expire till December 81, 1918.

taken against the curtailment OF nec-
essary range. but in this instance l be-

There is also within the range

ture, under the present unusual con-
ditions. and which could be used
without detriment to the grazing in

necessary to determine the location
and amount.

and land not leased at that time should
be retained by the stock men.

fits derived and quick results OBJ

State Land Board Takes
Land From Frederick
Buschhorn, Who Returned
to Germany to Fight
Against u. s.
BROTHER LOYAL TO
HIS ADOPTED LAND
Recommended That Entry
of His Kin Be Cancelled,
and Action Promptly
Taken on Motion of the
Governor.

Apparent disloyalty to the United
States was promptly frowned down
upon by the state land board when a
resolution, introduced by Governor
Alexander, was adopted to cancel the
entry of land made by Frederick
Buschhorn who, the board has reason
to believe, has left the United States
for the purpose of joining the army
and force of it's enemies" The board
was unanimous in acting on the reso-
luton.
Back of the action of the board
there is an interesting human interest
story. Frederick Buschhorn and his
brother took up Carey act land on the
North Side Twin Falls project. Both
are natives of Germany. Frederick
left the United States several months
ago to join the German army, select
ing the fatherland in preference to the
land of his adoption. His brother,
however, took directly the opposite
stand, holding that he owed no al
legiance to Germany and would re-
main true American citizen, casting
his lot with the land of his adoption.
He recommended that the entry of his
brother be cancelled because of nom
compliance with the Carey act law.
The register sent Frederick a notice to
that effect to his last known address.
No answer being received from him,
and it having become known he had
departed for Germany, the board
promptly cancelled the entry.
MINUTES OF BOARD.
The minutes of the board follow:
Boise, Idaho, April 18, 1917.--State
board of land commissioners of the
state Of Idaho met this day in special
session. All members present.
Whereupon the following proceed
ings were had, to-wit:
The attention of the board was
called to the fact that the original
mortgage deed in the Julian Andrew
loan, No. 1925, was not transmitted to
the office of the attorney general with
other papers. Whereupon the attor-
ney general made motion which was
carried that the register of the land
office be directed to secure a certified
copy of the Julian Andrew mortgage.
Letter of the attorney general was
read stating that the abstract cover
ing the land of Samuel Lane ct al, |
loan No. 1885, on which the state held
mortgage, had been lost, and request
ed that he be permitted to secure an
abstract, which was granted.
Motion was made by Governor Alex !
ander and carried, that the register be
authorized to file voucher covering
taxes on the e. j. Metzler property, |
loan No. 922, on which the state holds /
mortgage. for the years 1915 and 1916

WAR TAX ON MOVIE TICKETS

On and after November 1st the new
war tax on movie tickets goes into Of
feet. The amount of the tax will be
one cent on each ten cent ticket; two
cents on fifteen cent and twenty cent
tickets. Twenty-Five cent tickets will
be taxed three cents and so on. The
law reads "To BE- paid by the person SC
admitted" so it would seem that it is
not the intention of the government TO
tax the motion picture theaters bet to
use them as agents to collect a por-
ton of the enormous amount neces.
sary to carry on the war. Even those
admitted free are not excused from
paving the tax according to this law
Manager Briel of the Star theatel
is especially desirous that the public
be informed on this subject of tax or
tickets. He merely acts as collector
for the government and has q ta>
himself to pay on each reel run. H,
desires that patrons avail themselves
of pennies to pay this tax.
