Sugar Price Take
Big Upward Jump
INCREASE FROM $12.2O TO 1850
PER SACK REPRESENTS JAM
UARY QUOTATIONS

When the present supply of SUI.
gar in Lewiston Is exhausted the
consumers will be compelled to nav
much higher price. but just what
that price will be the jobbers or
the wholesalers are unable to fore
tell.
Yesterday the Lewiston Mercan.
tile company received the quota.
tions on cane sugar for January. the
price being based on f. o. b. San
Francisco. The January price at
San Francisco is SIS per hundred
or Is cents per pound. This would
make the price to the Lewiston re-
taller at 1920 per sack and the
price to the consumer about 1850
per sack or II "a cents per pound
in small lots.
The present price of sugar is
$l2.20 per sack or 12.1-2 cents per
pound in dollar lots. This sugar,
however, Is not the beet table and
preserving sugar. but has been pro-
nounced a superior product to the
cane sugar now available. The Lew
iston wholesale houses have quite q
generous supply of this beet sugar
that is being delivered to the re-
tailers at $11.S2 per hundred. This
supply will last until into February
50 that no large quantity of the
high priced January cane sugar
will be used in Lewiston, but two
carloads have already been ordered
by the Lewiston Mercantile COM
pany and more will follow before
any material reduction in the price
is announced. 1t is already an
nounced that a slight reduction will
be made for February and another
for March, but it is not probable
that the price to consumers IN Lew
iston will be below Is or 16 cents
during the coming canning season.

State Does Big Land Busi-

Report of |. H. Nash, State Land Commits
sioner, Reveals Large Land and Timber
Resources Owned by Idaho.

Few people realize the magnitude
of the States land interests, and
fewer yet, the Importance of an in
telligent business-like administra-
tion.
Approximately 3,68S,000 acres of
land were granted to the State of
Idaho for the benefit of her institu-
tions. Out of each township Sec
tions 16 and Sc were given for the
benefit of our public SCHOOLS, COM
prising about three million acres;
the balance was selected from the
unappropriated public lands of the
State.
Since these grants were made
about 646.1OS.65 acres have been
sold. leaving 3,021.S91.35 acres.
OF this acreage about 2.298. 8.S91.35
acres is agricultural and grazing
land This has never been properly
classified and through lack of funds
which should be provided for this
purpose. the State loses thousands
of dollars each year that should
come from rentals alone. based on
no less than five per cent of the
the value of the land. The conten-
tion Is made by many. tand the
policy has been followed by some
past administrations) that these
lands should be rented or sold at a
low figure. and by so doing. help
the individual farmer or stock
grower, who perchance is the sue
cessful party in securing the lease
or purchase.
l have never been able to take
this view. These grants were made
for the benefit or our public insti-
tutions and not for the individual
citizen of the state. Our peniten-
tiary needs extensions. and better
ment, our universities need new
buildings, our insane asylums are
over-crowded, and the poor. helpless
inmates are suffering today because
there is not sufficient funds to pro-
vide for their comforts.
Our common schools should be
given the financial support neces-
sary to insure our children the best
education possible to be obtained
in any State. These lands are the
heritage of these institutions-why
should they be bartered away fol
less than their value?
