While Hamel was connected with

agent OF the land office there that a
missing file on the section 80 matter
had been discovered. This file. which
should have been placed In with the

the closed cases. Haniel said
Il was not discovered until 1920,

The question involved was whether

granted Il TO California. II il was

returned TO the government.

chell, superintendent of the Twin
Falls schools and president of the
Idaho state interscholastic league
says that Oakley and Boise high
schools will represent the southern
part of the state at the annual hifh
school hoop tournament which op-
ems here Friday. District tourna-
ments last week resulted in Moscow
and Coeur d'Alene, veterans from

selected to represent the north.
According to the last information
received at Moscow, Weston, last
years champion, and briggs were
paying for the right tore present
that section. 1t seems that neither
Weston or briggs was able to make
the trip to Moscow, in which case
the two leaders in the other district
were. selected.
High school basketball has been
above average in the state this sea-
son and the tournament should hold
some fast games. Moscow, with her
veteran team from last season,
which forced the Weston team 10
full speed in the final championship
race, has met but one defeat this
year. That defeat came from Walla
