SPECULATION TO BE
 PREVENTED IN SALE
 COLUMBIA BASIN LAND

SPOKANE, June 14 (by Associated Press) ).-To prevent speculation in lands of the Columbia basin project and to permit actual settlers to ac quire farms at present prices when water is available, will be the policy of the Columbia basin survey com mission, Marvin Chase chairman of the commission meeting in Spokane.
 Through cooperation of govern ment, state and railroad officials, it will be possible absolutely to fix prices on sufficient areas within the Columbia basin to prevent specula- tion to the detriment of prospective settlers" he said.
 The Columbia basin survey com mission has made a study of land val ues in all parts of the project, ac- cording to MT. Chase, and as deter mined that arid lands for sheep graz ing purposes are worth now from $9 to $5 an acre; lands producing small wheat crops in years of more tkcr average rainfall, $1O to $15 an acre, and improved lands, s20 to s35 an a,cre.
 Fully 20 per cent of the land in the project will be controlled as to price and settlement is commenced, or if sales are attempted before the project becomes assured, it will be possible to head off the speculator who may desire to reap an unholy profit from the ignorant ill-advised purchaser" Mir Chase declared.
 'Those who contemplate purchase of land within the Columbia basin with the expectation of irrigation in the near future should be advised that it may be some years before active work could be undertaken, even if conditions prove favorable"

New Orleans, La, July 30, 1920.
Mr. f. A. Boudreaux, Franklin, La.
Dear Mr.. Boudreaux:
Under date Of May /, you sent us a
petition signed by numerous citizens
of Franklin and St. Mary Parish. suo-
Sesting changes in the game laws.
now beg TO advise that whereas it
was Tot possible to meet the wishes of
all the gentlemen who signed this pc
tttlOn, Tor the reason previously eX-
plalned-t the Federal law for the
protection Of migratory birds fixes
the season on all er-fOwl and il
was necessary for the States law to
CONFORM to the Federal law, which
likes the season from November ! to
January 81, Inclusive. However, We
did change the season on doves. Thi,
was done also to conform to tine Fed
eral law, il now being permissible to
shoot doves from October l6 TO Jan
uary 81. This makes the dove season
one month later than heretofore.
AS to the killing Of deer The new
season will be from October to Jan
uary 10 for all the southern section Of
the State. In fixing the deer season,
We had to take into consideration the
conditions that existed in all sections
Of the State, aud the season as fixed
meets as nearly as possible the view
point or the majority of the sports
men in the zones specified.
Yours very truly,
NIL. ALEXANDER,
Commissioners

MORE THAN A MILLION
VISITED NATIONAL FORESTS

More than a 1illion people spea:
forests during the seasln May l to
October 81 1919, according to figures
recently made public by the Denver
headquarters Of the Unitel States For
est Service. This is an Increase in
travel of sc per cent over 1916 and ~
per cent over the season of 1917. Visit
ors to other National forests of the
Rocky Mountain district totaled 1OO,-
600 for Wyoming; $4,000 for the
Black Hills, South Dakota; 6O.5OO for
Minnesota, and $500 for the small for
est areas in Michigan and Nebraska,
grand total Of 100000 recreation
seekers to the twenty-eight National
forests Of the district, an increase of
"a per cent over 1917, the last year in
which a tally of recreation visitors
was made by the forest service.
The data ON which this report Is
based were collected by several hun
dred forest service officials and are
considered to be at least rs per cent
underestimate. If these figures seem
large, it must be remembered that the
national forests are large. In the West
it is practically impossible to 60 into
the mountains without entering Ma
tional forest. In the Rocky Mountain
district alone these great summer play
grounds cover an area of over 20,00n,-
900 acres and contain many wonderful
scenic attractions and some Of the
best camping, hunting and fishing
grounds in the country.
Colorado's forests proved the biggest
attraction to visitors. Of the million
people who summered in these wonder.
lands over 10 per cent spent their
vacation outing in the Pike, Colorado
and San Isabel National Forests which
include within their boundaries tho
higher reaches of the Front range Of
the Rockies from Wyoming to New
Mexico. People came here from every
state in the union and twenty-three,
foreign countries, including Europe,
Africa, Japan, China, India, New zea-
land, Porto Rico, Alaska, Mexico and
the South Sea Islands. The National
forests of Minnesota Ten Thousand
Lakes keigon ranked next to Colorado
in popularity, the increase in travel to
these lake state vacation lands being
100 per cent greater in 1919 than in
1917.

SCHOOLS ARE CLOSED

Last Monday evening the board of
education held u meeting to discuss the
health situation in connection with the
epidemic of influenza which at present
is sweeping over the country, and after
some discussion of the matter is was
deemed best to close the school indefin-
itely, and this action was therefore tax
en-.
This action on the part of the board
was not brought about SO much by rea
son of the contagious character of The
disease, for it appears to be, rather
spontaneous and has made its way
to many isolated sections where appar-
emily there has been no opportunity
for contugion. On the other hapd, il
10 listed as q germ disease and it WAS
therefore thought wise to take every
possible precaution. Besides this, eight
of the teachers have been stricken with
the disease and obliged to temporarily
leave their work, and it is by NO mean.
an easy matter to procure substitutes.
1t is possible that the schools may
open next Monday, although this is
hardly probable. 1t is more than prob
able that the schools will be in vaca-
tion all of next week.

emerged from their hall last Monday
evening after holding an interesting
session they found the ways of egress
guarded by members Of the Rebeksh
branch of the order, and all were bid

The natural result was that in a
short time after the lodge adjourned,
the membere, together with the mem
beers Of the Rebekah lodge, were gath
cring around the tables to partake of
delicious repast which the ladies had
prepared.
After the physical appetite had
been satiatcd, the members gathered
in the main lodge room where the,
were entertained with music, cards,

late hour, all declaring a. they de-
parted for their homes, that the even

sMA+Lpox ON RAMPAGE

DuranU, Colo.-Durango is tortured
with smallpox epidemic the like of
which has not shown itself here be-
fore.
The city commissioners, acting as
the board Of health, have issued orders
to the effect that no person shall be
permitted to attend the public or priv
ate schools of the city unless they have
been vaccinated. The board of direc.
tors of the public schools and manag-
ers or persons in charge of private
schools are expressly forbidden to per-
init any student who has not been
vacsinated to attend school.
This, apparently, is the last step
toward the enforcement of the vaccin-
alton order, which has caused storm
Of protest from both the students and
their parents, and which was issued
soma time ago by the school board
whSn there were ten or twelve cases
Of smallpox in the city. Many of the
students have refused to comply with
the order.
There have been no deaths from
smallpox in the city, where the disease
is very light in form. Two or three
deaths have been reported from the
country district, but the reports can
not be verified.
Among those who refused to be vac
cinated are said to be several school
teachera Whether they will be dis
missed or suspended until they com,
ply with the order cannot be learned
