SUGGEST STATE
DISTRIBUTE LAND
GOVERNOR CONSIDERS REQUEST
DELEGATI0N-MA CALL
LEGISLATURE.

Boise, Idaho, Feb 27.-Idahos con-
gressional delegation today, pro-
posed to Governor d. w. Davis that
the state supervise the distribution of
the 100000 acres of lieu lands al
/ lowed on Northern Pacific scrip by
the terms of house bill " now before
President Warren G. Harding for his
signature Governor Davis called his
cabinet into special session and dis
cussed the proposal at length, finally
deciding that the state might con-
slider it if Fred Gooding, James II.
Clinton, and Homer Fem, who held
the contract for the land, will assign
it to the state. They have already
agreed to apportionment of the lands
by special committee composed OF
two representative sheep men, two
stock men and fifth member ap-
pointed at large.
Governor Davis proposed to the
Saturday mass meeting and reiterated
the proposal to the cabinet, that the
legislature be called into extra ses-
sion to provide ways and means LOT
the equitable distribution of the pub
lie lands involved. Members OF his
cabinet opposed this plan at present,
declaring they would only consent to
convening the legislature in special
session as last resort. Hence 1t was
decided to ask Gooding and his as
sociates for an assignment of the con-
tract. Members of the Idaho con-
gressional delegation made it clear in
kilograms received here today that
the bill was passed with the full ap-
proval of the members of the delega-
ton, and after all had conferred with
Senator Borah they will consent to
distribution of the lands under the
supervision of the state, but have not
made it clear as to what their atti-
tude will be with regard to an assign
ment of the contract
Regarding the calling of the legls-
lature in session extraordinary GOV
ernor Davis said, public sentiment
seems to demand, and has right to
do so. most careful and orderly dis
tribution. This can best come through
the state of Idaho, thereby taxing
care of the interests of all concerned
The privately owned lands involved IN
the option would be much more nlgn-
ly valuable to the public where they
may be conserved and new TIMBER
grown under the forest service whlle
the lieu land would be much more
highly developed and profitable IL IN
the hands of number OF individuals.
"Fhis looks to me to be the solu-
ton of the whole matter carrying out
the desires of the Idaho delegation,
the secretary Of interior and secretary
of agriculture. and at the same time
the interests OF the IN
dividual and the public,
There is no question in my mliiu
but what the legislature will imme-
diately authorize the control, ex-
change and distribution as outlined.

.SILVAN TIDE RISES
in YUKON DISTRICT

Dawson, Y. ia P)-Yukon' s
great silver tide is steadily rising and
the Klondike continues the banner
gold producing camp of the entire
Northland, says a thirty-eight page
special edition of the Dawson Daily
News.
Silver mining has progressed at an
astonishing rate in the last two years.
Fifteen hundred mines, large pro-
portion of which are producing have
been staked. The fields have been
covered by companies that hold most
of the big producing claims and are
pushing their development. A year
ago the Yukon Gold company was the
only large organization engaged in
quartz mining and exploration at
Mayo, but since then two well known
American companies have obtained
control Of many claims which large
crews are now developing.
The most notable strike on Keno
Hill was the finding of the lode on
the west end, or McQueston slope.
The finding of this rich mine was ac-
cidental as in the case of great
many mineral discoveries A buck
board carrying two men skidded down
a piece of float which told the story.
The ore assays from 200 to 500 ounces

BODY OF PHILADELPHIA
FAT MAN MUMMIFIED

Philadelphia-(A P)-The mum
mified body of fat man, an early
resident of Philadelphia, is being pre-
served at the Wistar Institute of
Anatomy and Biology as a rare ex-
ample of adipocere, substance
which is a soft waxy mass resemb-
ling soap. According to officials the
man was Wilhelm Won Ellenberger
who lived in the city when it was the
capital of the United States and
George Washington was president. In
1892 Won Ellenberger fell victim to
the yellow fever plague and was
buried in Potters field, then on the
outskirts of the city. Many years of
burial in the moist soil of the field
gradually converted the body into an
adipocere mummy and when the field
was turned into public square the
body was exhumed by workmen and
identified
Dr. Henry H. Donaldson of the
Wistar institute staff, said recently
that the mummified condition, while
not common, sometimes occurs when
many bodies are buried together and
that the specimen while mot unique
is unusually good"
The mummies of three Egyptians
which occupy place at the institute
with Won Ellenberger are not as well
preserved as the latter This was ac
counted for in that they were dried
while being mummified and the tis-s
sues shrunk

PRIVATE INITIATIVE
and ENTERPRISE
F0STERED In PRESIDENTS PLAN
FOR GOVERNMENT AID FOR
MERCHANT MARINE.

WaShington=(A P.)-The admin
istration plan for government aid for
the merchant marine was presented to
congress today by President Harding,
with the declaration that the influ-
ence of the United States in world
councils is sure to be measured by
that unfailing standard which is
found in a nations merchant marine.
The president told of the war time ef-
fort to create a merchant marine, and
its failure. He told congress that his
present proposal contemplates the re-
turn to private initiative and private
enterprises, aided to a conservative
success, wherein we stand safeguard
ed against the promotion of private
greed, and not discourage the hope of
profitable investment which under
lies all successful endeavor.
The salient points in the pres1-
dents proposal are embodied in bills
introduced in both houses immediate
1y after the address. Included are the
proposal that aid in the sum of $32,-
100000 annually be provided for,
principally by diversion of ten per
cent of the customs receipts: the re-
quirement that not more than 80 per
cent of the immigrants to the United
States be transported in foreign
ships; the sale of tonnage now held
by the shipping board and the use OF
the funds as a construction loan fund;
for the induction of
merchantmen, officers and
sailors into the naval reserve with
pay allowance.

FIRE DEPARTMENT
Will BUY SIREN
WILL PRESENT CITY WITH BIG
NOISE, AT COST OF $700-A NEW
FIRE COMPANY FORMED.

The old fire bell, which has called
Moscow people out of their beds for
many years past (when they heard it,
to flight fires will be supplemented
within the next 60 days by a modern
siren, which will be purchased out
OF the funds of the Moscow Volunteer
Fire department, and presented to the
city. This was decided at a meeting
of the fire department, called for the
purpose of distributing the funds on
hand. 1t was voted to take $500 out
Of the department funds, accumulated
from the annual dances and for each
of the six separate companies to con-
tribute its proportionate share in ad-
dition, from the company funds, to
purchase a siren which will cost ap-
proximately $500 This sum will pur-
chase one of the most modern alarm
systems made The choice of a siren
was left to Chief Carl Smith, who has
full authority to make the purchase.
1t will be seen from this action on
the part of the fire department that
the, money which the people OF Mos
COW contributed in various ways to
tho department is all put back into
equipment, to add to the efficiency OF
an organization which already ranks
among the best fire fighting organi-
cations in the Inland Empire.
1t is probable that Sterling double
siren will be purchased and Chief
Smith states that it should be here
and installed within 80 days. The
siren is operated by a motor and will
be installed on the top of the City
Hall. The same fire alarm system as
at present will be used, the alarm
being turned in to the telephone of
flee, where tn switch will be Install
ed. Central will throw in the switch
and start the motor and the big noise
will be on.
The siren is much superior to the
fire bell, as has been proven where
ever they are used. The siren used
at Pullman can frequently be heard in
this city, distance of ten miles. AS
soon as the siren is installed the old
fire bell will be offered for sale.
Organize An Additional Company
The fire department organized a
new company, making total of sew
en- companies, to take charge OF the
new fire truck, which was ordered
last fall. Joe Mordhorst was elected
president of the company and Jack
foreman These officers will
work with Chief Smith in the organ
zation of the new company

MORE INTEREST
IN ''U' EDUCATION
HIGH SCHOOL SENIORS PLANNING
ON COLLEGE TRAINING
NEXT FALL

Twenty three per cent more high
school seniors in the state are plan
ming on university education than
were planning last year, according to
Edward f. Mason, director of publ
cations at the university. These fig
ures are taken from preliminary re-
ports made by 40 high schools.
The university is collecting infol =
nation from all the high schools Of
the state, asking how many of their
seniors plan to attend a university,
how many plan to attend a normal,
how many a vocational school, and
how many are not making any plans
for further education. The question
naire also inquiries concerning the
particular line of study in which the
the student is interested.
This information will be used, not
only by the university, but also by the
normal schools and the Idaho Tech
nical Institute at Pocatello, in inform
ing Idaho students concerning the Op
portunities offered by the state i'll
stitutions.
Last year, of 1900 high school seri-
ors, who were thus canvassed, SO per
cent were planning on university
education
