tion of timber land and be unable to
purchase adjoining land. To be han
died profitably, timber must be In a
body and handled on a large scale.
When Idaho pointed out this situation
to the general government, the JUS
tice OF the states contention was ad-
mitted but with the endless red tape
incident to all governmental trans
actions not much advance was made
toward effectiIg an exchange. The
supreme court of Idaho held that 1t
could not be done legally and various
distractions bobbed up in Washing
ton.
Finally In Governor Hawley's
administration the matter seemed In
fair way to settlement He with
Attorney General Peterson and Land
Commissioner Day went to Washing
ton and put the matter up to the head
officials. President Taft told them
that the United States had no desire
to play Indian with the state of Ida
no." meaning that it would be an act
of treachery Tor the government to
grant large amount of land to Idaho
for the benefit of the schools and then
make it worthless by surrounding 1t
with forest reserve land. The Secre-
tary of the Interior met them in the
same spirit. Details were worked out
for effecting the exchange. When the
plans were drawn Mr.. Hawley and Mr..
Peterson came home much elated that
this important matter had been finally
settled. Mr.. Day remained in Wash
ingtOn to keep the matter moving and
to work out the details with the Off
Gals. He was there nearly two months
and when he returned it was felt that
x.,.ff nA
! completed.
Later Asst. Secretary of the Inter
ior Jones held that there was no law
warranting such an exchange and all
| proceedings stopped. That was some
four years ago and there had been no
advance since until recently. Rem
edial legislation was attempted, the
bin passing the house but was not
reached in the senate.
| Early this year Asst Secretary Vo-
gelshing made different ruling from
! his predecessor Jones. He decided
there was no need of remedial legis-
lation but exchanges could be legally
effected under present laws. Fol
lowing this ruling the Interior De
partment at once began the prepar-
alton of lists and months ago had
$1,000 acres ready for exchange and
| approval. Other lists are being pre-
pared and will be approved as rapidly
as possible until the whole matter is
J disposed of. The inference sought to
be conveyed in the interview quoted
above is that the visit of Governor Al
exander and Attorney General Wal,
| ters resulted in arranging for this ex.
change, when the facts are that the
work had been going on for six
months, and will go on to completion
and their visit served the same pur-
pose as though they had gone to Tim
buctoo or the South Sea Islands SC
| far as exchanging lands was con
cerned. They had fine trip at the
expense Of the state and t will be
better for them to let it GO at that
rather than to make claims of ser.
vice to the state, which are so easily
refuted.

Professor g. Livingston of Uni

of Work.
EXAMINED DEWEY
While on Visit to Grangeville
and Speaks Highly Of
Property

Prof ID. @. Livingston, head Of the
department OF geology of the state uni
versity was In the city over Sunday
and while here visited the Dewey mine,
seven miles east OF here on the South
Fork. Mr.. Livingston spoke In very
favorable terms of the Dewey mine
from the inspection which he made OF
it. He says he examined the concen-
trates which have been produced by
the new mill and that the showing Is
good, and from the inspection OF the
ore body and the general conditions
which he made he was most favorably
impressed. To save all the values,
however it has been decided to install
the flotation process in addition to the
new mill which was recently complet-
ed. The work on this improvement viii

Prof. Livingston has just inaugural
ed plan for the creation of q COM

critics of the state of Idaho, in which
work he win have associated with
him E. X. Soper, associate professor
of mining engineering of the University
of Idaho. There was a small appro-
priation of $4,000 made for this work
by the last legislature, which would
not be a starter for the work contem-
plated but the United States geologic
al survey and the bureau of mines,
have signified willingness to cooper
ate in the work. This gives assurances
of the necessary financial support as
well as the added expert assistance.

GOV. NOSE ALEXANDER AND
HIS AIDES ARE GREAT
BUNK PEDDLERS
Would Lead the Public Believe They Saved Thousands
of Acres of Lieu Lands BY Recent Trip to
Washington Which is Untrue.

1t is not every citizen who under
stands the history of the exchange by
the state with the government of the
school sections lying within the Nat
ional Forests for land outside Of the
same, which is called lieu lands. Gov
Alexander and his worthy attorney
general, knowing this to be true, gave
out interviews on their return from
their recent junketing trip to the nat
ional capital in which they dwelt in
glowing terms upon the great benefits
secured to the people by their trip and
telling how many thousands OF acres
they had saved to the schools by their
great business ability; the intimation
being that they simply drought the
government up standing and made
the reluctant official cough up what
ever they saw fit to demand Sin the
intrust of the commun peepul," to use
Noses favorite expression. These
statements have gone the rounds of
their circle of newspapers in the state

such marvellous things Ned Jenness,

manner, under the head "Still More

IDAHO URGED
TO PUT OUT
$5OO,OOO
State Treasurer Eagleson Tells
Land Board How to Profit
for School Fund.

Boise Statesman: The state Of Ida
no today has $723,000 cash on hand
available for farm loans. The amount
is rapidly increasing and will shortly
total $1,000,OOO, according to State
Treasurer John W. Eagleson.
In report made to Governor Alex
ander at the land board meeting Fri
day, the state treasurer suggested the
immediate investment of 100000 or
$500,000 of this money.
THE state gets but per cent on
daily balances, while if the money
were invested in farm mortgages it
would earn 6 per cent" declared Mr..
Eagleson. During the last few
months the cash available for farm
loans has steadily increased each
month, and could the cash on hand
which was available for lending, even
the last six months, have been lent to
the farmers on first mortgages at
per cent, the public schools and the
various institutions of the state would
have been enriched to the extent of
approximately $4,000
"This, it seems to me, is an item
worth working for, since the earnings
y
trict in the state
"Every dollar that can be earned in
this manner saves the taxpayers to
that extent, and in these times of war
and high taxes a saving of this amount
from direct taxation means much"
Governor lSeeks q Little Light.
The governor read the treasurer s
report and then asked how he would
set about lending a half million dol
lars.
Il would send man to every coun-
ty in the state, begin an advertising
! campaign and let the people know
what we have to Lend" replied the
state treasurer.
But that is no remedy" said the
governor. I'VE have men out. and the
people know we have money to lend
Why can't we lend it? What is the
remedy?"
.There are quite a number of dis
tricts in the state issuing school bonds
and the state has the right to take ali
of these issues" said Mr.. Eagleson
THAT is one method There are 9th
ers.
"When a man applies for a loan on
his farm you have your appraisers &C
out and appraise the land, but in
nearly every case the board cuts down
on the amount asked for. That is q
big mistake"
No Mistake, Merely Judgment.
NO." responded the governor, "thai
is merely question Of judgment"
You asked me for my opinion ant
am giving it to you," replied Mr.
Eagleson. II have received numer
ous letters from landowners who say
they have been compelled to go t.
private banks to get money when the
land board cut down the amount they
asked for. This works a great hard
ship upon the farmer, and compeli
him TO pay s per cent or 10 per CEN
! to private institution whereas ht
could borrow from the state for Q pei
cent"

than we receive applications" insisted
the governor
"Yes, but we could get more appli
cations If the situation was properl,
