3. OF [. REBUKED BY GRAND JURY
 AT FAIRBANKS
FINAL REPORT CHARGES NEG LECT OF NATIVES IN THE
 FOURTH DIVISION
REFERS TO BOXERS CRUISE
Says Bureau Education Takes Pleas ure Outing While Interiorites
 Dig Up Coin for Aid

In it's final report to Judge Cecil Clegg, the federal grand jury at Fair banks declares that destitution among the Indians of the Fourth division has become an acute problem and rebukes the federal bureau of education for it's alleged neglect of the natives of the interior section.
 The report says that the fourth div sion is not getting it's share of the bu- reau funds allotted to Alaska and de clares, further: While the bureau of education is fitting out vessel, such as the Boxer, for a cruise along the coast giving instructions in navigation and mechanical arts and as pleasure excursion, here in the interior private citizens have to go down in their pock- cts and subscribe for food, medicine and clothing for sick and starving na- tives."
 The grand jury recommended that the bureaus office for the administra- tion If Alaskan affairs concerning na- tives be removed from Seattle to AL aska. In this connection Dr. J. J. Fig ert, federal director of education sev- eral months ago ordered w. T. Lopp, chief of the Alaska division of the bu- reau to transfer his office from Seattle to Anchorage but MT. Lopp has so far failed to open his offices here. Howev- CT MT. Lopp arrived from Juneau on a recent boat and will soon establish offices.

MATANUskA SOIL MOST
 FERTILE IN THE WORLD

The Kansas man who stuck his cane in the ground and returned sev- eral months later to find it tasseled out with two fully developed ears, one of corn and the other filled with nuts, has been made a back number by a Matanuska rancher, who stuck a cane with a nickle tip on it into the ground and found a half dozen alarm clocks on the stalk. Had he planted a stick of maple he might have rais- ed a hardwood floor with a house around it. Alaska is only coming in- to it's own and the fertility of it's soil has never been fully demonstrated.

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 14.-The storm which yesterday broke one of the greatest droughts in the history of the state of California is only a forerunner of the downpour to come according to Forecaster Wilson.
 Showers will continue for several days, he believes.
 Reports from inland points indicate the rain arrived just in time to save great quantities of crops and has say- ed cattlemen, whose herds were un- able to obtain the proper feed, from a threatening situation.
 Along the coast storm warnings were displayed. At Point Reyes the wind is said to have attained ve- locity of forty miles an hour.

IN FOUR DAYS
 143 DlvORCES
RHODE ISLANDS DIVORCE MILL
 BREAKS A RECORD
Almost Any Reason Will Do-Diy0rce Seekers Need Not go to Court
 For Separation

PROVIDENCE, Feb. 14-A record of 143 divorces in four days is made by Rhode Islands divorce mill, estab- fishing that little state as a divorce seekers paradise. It is the Reno of the East. Minta Durfree, wife of Eat ty" Arbuckle, got a divorce there re- gently. So did Mrs. Lowell Sherman wife of another screen actor.
 In the first four days of the court at Providence, 161 petitions for di- vorce were heard, 143 immediately granted and IS held up for later de- cision. Among those held up was the case of Nina Wilcox Putnam, noted author, whose petition for divorce from Robert J. Sanderson, was first granted and then vacated, when charg- es were made she hadn't lived in the state the required two years.
 The spotlight of publicity thrown on this case, has revealed the evils of easy divorce in Rhode Island. In that state there are many grounds of di- vorce. About all that is required for starting an action is residence in the state for two years. The petitioner may swear to his or her charges in the private office of master in chanc- cry, and obtain a divorce decree with out going near the court that grants it.
 Lawyers make big money in getting these easy divorces and a Divorce Ring is suspected. A uniform divorce law throughout the country, such as is now before Congress, would remedy such evils.

WAS UNNECESSARY
 HAVE VALIDITY OF O|L LEASES TESTED

WASHINGTON, Feb. 14-Assistant Secretary of the Interior Finney, was quoted today as saying that Albert Fall considered it unnecessary to have Attorney General Dauhgerty pass on the validity of the oil leases before any were made, taking the responsibil- ;.v of turning the lands over to the companies, without testing the legal itv of the plan. This was the testimony today before the Senate committee by Oscar Sutro, counsel for the Standard !, Oil Company of California.
 Sutro said that when the question of the leases came up his company re- ouested an opinion by the Attorney General as to their rights in the case and that Fall replied that the leases were discretionary with himself, and that Dougherty had nothing to do in the matter.
