RIiGtRDIlsts THE STATE AID

| In 1879 the United States
government granted to Minncso
ia two sections Of land in every
| township (sections IL and 80
for public school purposes. Thi!
amounts to 100000 acres Of
| land. The minimum price fxct
on the agricultural lands was S;
per acre. The timber land in the
northern part Of the state, which
formed part Of the grant, proved
SO valuable that it was not to be
offered for sale until the timber
had been cut off and sold. Then
in 1886, the legislature pr vided
that no timber land should he
sold unless it was in danger Of
waste or destruction. Therefore,
it will be only the timber on
these lands that will be sold
hereafter. This was a very wise
provision because we will thus
always have splendid land upon
which to grow timber and by
the present methods of forestry
large amounts are and can be
sold every year without harming
the forests.
In addition to section Is and Sc
in every township, Minnesota
was recently given 1891 acre.
of school lands, according to re-
ports received by Gov. Burn
qulst from the general land of
flee in Washington. J. A. O.
Preus, state auditor, states that
this additional tract is worth
about 100000.
Besides the agriculture lands
and timber grants we have the
iron mines. These mines cannot
be sold. They can be leased out,
however, and a royalty of 25c
must be paid the state for every
ton of iron mined. The state has
now 10000 acres Of land in the
rich iron district. One of these
sections containing the Hill Iron
Mine. provides greater revenue
than the states of Iowa, Michi-
gan and Wisconsin combined
have received or ever will re
eeivc from all the lands granted
to them by Congress.
In addition to these iron grants
the legislature passed law
which gave the state power to
reserve all mineral rights on all
lands sold after that time. even
though it were not known at the
time of the sale or filing to con-
tain mineral.
Minnesota has now perna-
nent school fund of nearly S25.-
ooo.0O0 and it is increasing about
81 100000 a year. One million
acres of farm land still remained
unsold and this together with the
annual sale of timber and income
from the iron mines, will in time
according to the former state
auditor amount to 100000, 900.
Not cent of this fund will ever
be spent. The interest. however.
will be divided among the schools
of the state as the department OF
education deems wise. In 1918,
the income from the fund totaled
I.2lS507.54. In 25 years it is
estimated that the income from
this permanent school fund will
be Si,500,000.
Together with the above
sources of our state school money
we have the one mill state tax.
In most states the state mill tax
is ? to 5 mills and their perma-
nent school funds only about S.
100000, That accounts for the
high school taxes everywhere in
other states. S. +. S.

Capt. John Zug recently appointed Captain in the United States Army Engineers Reserve Corps, has re ceived orders to report to Gen. w r. Richardson, President of the Alas ka Board of Road Commissioners The order came from Adjutant-Ge eral Mccain, of the United States Army. This is construed to mean that Capt.

 Capt. Zug is now in Juneau and took his oath of office as Captain in the army few days ago. The War Department was immediately notified by wire of the fact, and the orders to report to Gen. Richardson came back also by wire.
 Capt. Zug has been connected with the Alaska Board of Road Commis sioners for several years. Until a few years ago his headquarters were at Fairbanks, but more recently they were at Valdez. He is well known and popular in Juneau.

GEN. RICHARDSON ADDRESSES PUPILS
 ON PATRIOTISM

Brigadier General w. P. Richard son, acting on the invitation of the school board this afternoon, briefly addressed an assembly of the Junior and Senior High Schools of the Ju- neau schools on the subject of Pa triotism.
 General Richardsons remarks were brief but to the point. He started by outlining the causes leading up to American entrance in the great war, quoting the message of President Wilson to Congress when the declaration of war was asked for, down to the organization of the big new National Army.
 The speaker exhorted his auditors to have every reverance for the American flag, the President, the head officials of the government and in their daily life to so live that they might'be able to say: "I have proven by my actions that l love my country better than myself and will make the great sacrifice for it's principals and what they stand for.

BIG INCREASE IN
 ALASKA FISH PACK

"The Alaska gold plants are work ing to capacity because of the high prices and the fish catches are as large as can be handled" Edwin Kirk, government geologist explain ed at The Savoy, says the Seattle Times. "The fish catch of South eastern Alaska is double the usual pack, and is difficult to handle be cause of the shortage of cans"
 Kirk has spent three months in the north for the government. Since the outbreak of the war, surveyors have been spread throughout the country to estimate wealth and en courage production.
 From Alaska we can get many minerals that will be valuable dur ing the war, in addition to the fish and gold" said Kirk. Copper is produced in good quantities, and small amounts of platinum are being obtained from the palcer mines. II is used for lining chambers of guns because it is not affected by acids Inasmuch as Russia has produced very little recently. the platinum is badly needed. We have had none except the reserve There is also hope of obtaining nickel, valuable alloy for war purposes, from the northern country"
 Kirk left last night for Washing ton, D. c.
