STATE LAND OFFICE HAS
RECORD-BREAKING BUSINESS
Increased Demand for Farm Lands il
Shown in Receipts at
Olympia

State Land Commissioner Clark v.
Savidge announces that the balanc-
ing of the state land Office books for
the year just closed shows that the
land Office has turned into the state
treasury almost two millions OF dollars
the exact figures being s., 1884, 145.70.
It appears from an examination of the
records that this is the largest years
business in the history of the state.
Most noticeable is the increased de-
mand for farming lands because of the
advance in the prices of food pro-
ducts. High prices are being received
for farming lands offered for sale and
there has been an increased demand
for the leasing Of lands in any way
suitable for agricultural purposes.
Many holders of grazing leases are
asking to have them changed to agri-
cultural leases, being willing to pay
the higher rentals, where lands are at
all suitable for farming.
There has also been a marked In
crease In the number of applications
to purchase timber. Better prices
have been received. Some pieces,
because of the quality of the timber
and its favorable location, have brot
forth spirited bidding, which resulted
in phenomenal prices.

GRAVITY NOT A SURE TEST
Standard Oil Agent Explains why Test
Does Not Apply to Gasoline

49, ~AFFAy w 0oSOAAhC
"The popular opinion that specific
gravity Tor degree Beaume) will suf-
flee as test for gasoline is unfor-
tunately erroneous" says the u. S.
Bureau Of Standards.
In commenting on this statement,
recently, L. w. Murray, head of the
local agency of the Standard Oil COM
pany said: "The reason gravity is mis-
leading as test for gasoline is plain
enough when you understand that
boiling points alone determine the
real motor fuel efficiency. Gravity
tells nothing at all about boiling
points and their proper range and
continuity.
ITO be 100 per cent efficient, gaso-
line must have its boiling points in a
continuous, unbroken, gradually ris-
ing series.
"1n this connection it is also i'm
portant to note that only straight
distilled, refinery gasoline can have
its boiling points in a continuous
chain. No mixture on earth could be
concocted to contain all the hundreds
of necessary fractions. Yet the grav-
ity of this mixture might be satisfac-
tory, thus deceiving anyone depend
ing on gravity for motor fuel efficiency
and economy"

CONFERENCE

FERENCE ON FOREIGN RELATIONS

ON At LONG BEACH, NEW YORK.
DR.. NICHOLAS MURRAY BUTLER SAYS
RESORT MUST BE HAD TO ARMED
FORCE TO DETERMINE whether
WORLD MIND PREVAILS.

LONG BEACH, n. ", May 29-Char-
acterizing the National Conference on For
cign Relations of the United States, nj
which he made the opening address here
last night, "a the beginning of an educa-
tional campaign in America to develop the
international mind' Nicholas Murray
Butler, president of Columbia university,
declared the world war il now being fought
to decide if that doctrine should prevail
"Resort must be had To armed force"
he said. ''in order to determine whether
the international mind shared by score
or more of independent and self respect
ing nations, shall prevail. or whether the
arms of non moral, all powerful. mill
tary Imperialism shall be stretched out over
the whole round world for its government
and its protection"
President Butler asserted the people of
the United States would find ii unneces-
sary for some time to concern themselves
with foreign relations and foreign policy
If the war was won by Imperialism.
"These matters would be taken care Of
for them,' he said. "by a power that had
shown itself strong enough to overcome
and to suppress the internationally mind
ed men and nations. On the other hand,
if. as we confidently hope and believe, the
issue of this war is to he favorable TO the
free, self governing democracies of the
world, then the people of the United States
must address themselves with redoubed
energy and with closest attention To those
matters of legislation, or administration.
and of general public policy which consti-
tute and determine national conduct The
first task of this conference and Of every
similar conference that may be held here
after, is TO drive this lesson home"
Asserting the international mind re
quires that a nation and its government
shall freely and gladly grant to every other
nation and to every other government the
rights and the privileges which it claims
for ITSELF" President Butler added:
"From this il follows that the interna-
tional mind i not consonant with any the
DRY Of the state which regards the state a.
superior to the rules and restrictions Of
moral conduct or which admits the view

Enlistment For War
Period Aids Recruiting

WASHINGTON, May 29.-Recent legis-
lation which authorizes enlistments in the
U. s marine corps for the period of the

marines will form a part of the first and
succeeding overseas contingents, has done
more in the recent stimulation of recruit
ing for these "Sodiers of the Sea- than

would not ordinarily select military ca

MISSOURI GRAND JURY To
ACT ON ANTI-DRAFT MOVE
(By Associated Press.)

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, May ga spec
hl grand jury has been called to meet
June to investigate the alleged advocacy
of n-compliance with the conscription
law. This action preceded by few min
utes the filing in the state circuit court of
injunction proceedings asking that city,
county and state officials he prevented
from enforcing the registration law at
Kansas City. The injunction was filed in
the name of the federal league for demo-
cratic control. Ii names Governor Gard
ner of Missouri and Mayor Edwards of
Kansas City.
The grand jury was TO be convened the
day following the registration date so it
could consider the cases not only of the
agitators but also of men eligible for the
army who had failed to register
Judge Van Valkenburgh said that per
sons concerned with failures to register
would be prosecuted fully. Those who fail
to register or who conspire to defeat the
draft law may expect the maximum pris-

MORE TEACHERS
ARE NEEDED NOW
DEMAND IN TEXAS IS GREATER THAN
THE SUPPlY-DEMAND FOR FALL
MAY BE MORE THAN SUPPLY.

AUSTIN, Tex, May 29.-The demand
for teachers in Texas is greatly in excess
of the supply according to DIR. f. Ely,
chairman of the teachers committee of the
University of Texas.
During the session of 19l6-17 applica-
tions were made to this committee for per-
sons to fill S55 positions, but the com
mittee was able to supply only about 400
at salaries ranging from $4,000 to $4,000
a year. The total amount paid to teachers
placed in positions by the university au-
thorities for the present year totals more
than 100000.
For the present session applications have
so far been received for more than 500
teachers and the indications are that this
number will reach 1000 before the begin
ming Of the fall term, but it is very unlike
~ it will be possible to fill this demand.
