CHECK GIVES BIG
HOLDING TO ARIZONA

During the last year, the Ari-
zona land office has checked
every piece of state-owned land
in Arizona with the original
government plats, with the re-
suit that the state has discover
over $4,000 acres of land which
should be under state owner
ship but had never been claim
ed, it was reported by Howard
J. Smith, head of the land de-
partment.
This announcement followed
an insp ection trip to New Mex
leo, where Smith examined the
system of accountancy in use
there, relative to a general re-
vision and improvement of the
Arizona state land system.
The school sections, four to a
township, were selected under a
law which provided that where
a township was short. the follow
ing rules should apply: The
state would receive four sections
out of each full township, or a
three-quarters township, three
sectioas in half township and
two sections in a quarter town
ship.
In money cases it was found
that the state had failed to take
advantage Of this provision.
Arizona has never known how
much land was available for Sc
lection until the check was
made, resulting in more than a
million acres in national parks,
belonging to the state, as well
as a second million in unsurvey-
ed school sections, Smith stated.
approximately 100000 acres
of land, which the state is en-
titled to, will be selected for
lease as grazing and mining pro-
perty, excluding the forest land
until the government declares
itself on the public land policy,
now being considered.
A fact pointed out by Smith
on his survey and which is not
generally known in connection
with land matters, is the defni-
tion of a section of land as laid
down by the government grants
The government definition of
a section of land varies from
five to 1,280 acres, it was re-
corded, making the work of
survey a difficult one.--The
Messenger.

THE old TABLE"
By Ivan Clyde Lake


"Minocqua Wis. Times" where
we spent 2l years at the old
editorial table, which we thought
long since destroyed. We have
a warm spot In our heart for
the old table, the old town and
for its good people. May the
Publishers of the Times" pros
per and we hope 'the old table"
will prove to be a lucky emblem
for them in fut ure years.
1T was forty years ago. Editor
G. w. Hooper of "The Times"
sat before the editorial table,
writing down squibs, recording
the comings and goings of the
pioneer settlement. The table
was new then, and it was to re-
main a part of "The Tines
equipment even until now.
Now it stands in a corner of
the back shop"---mute yet
silently loquacious. 1t is the
one remaining piece of equip
ment of former days the last
of the Mohicans. Could it but
speak, It's language like Nat
ure's would be various; some
times pleasant, sometimes
strident.
Imagine what that table
would say! Let me see---somc-
thing about politics, surely!
Those were sublime days for
politicking, forty years ago!
You were a good politicker or
you weren't. You belonged to
one faction or you didn't.
Doubtless on that table OPP
posing tickets were framed.
Doubtless some of those neat
political handbills were written
or corrected thereon. Not by
Editor Hooper, perhaps. But
someone borrowed the use of
the table for awhile. He called
a town chairman who sought
reelection ''hair-brained
fanatic" " The candidate re-
piled that the critic had made
what he thought to be a
macrocephalous remark to
show that the viscus of the
cerebellum order was all that
my Uranium held" | wonder
that the table survived after
that. But it did.
On it, Publisher Hooper help
ed make the copy for the first
resort folders. They were good
for their time. They used forty
different fonts of type on one
page, and told you all about
the winds, waves and what
have-yous of this country.
We're still talking about it,
only in better Typography.
This country is the best, but
let's go back to the table.
On press day the table had
rest. The publisher, we are in
formed, had a unique way of
obtaining assistance on this
day of days in the print shop.
The old press was the taskmas-
ter. You had to turn the cylin-
der by hand, clinkety--clank--
like that. 1t was hot business.
So the publisher would bring in
some foaming beer; the press
man would crank awhile then
take his solace in the brown
liquid. While he was solacing
himself another pressman would
get cranky.
Pardon me, but the old table
is to blame for these reminis-
censes. 1t saw a lot of history
made. You can see even today
a great many marks around the
edge of where heels were hook
ed on it. A lot of things are
done with heels in the air. Ask
any legislator. He goes to
