POOR SECURITY CHARGED State School Money Let Out and Be lief Expressed Favoritism Has Been ShownMining Dis trict Now Aroused. BT C. E. iRNET. WALLACE, Idaho, Jan. (Speolal.) Former Governor McConnell, of Mos cow, hss succeeded In attracting th attention of th people of the state to the extent that the state board of land commissioners have aken notice of bis periodical letters, and ordered an In vestigation of the loans made by th state of the school moneys. It has been the contention of the former governor that the money has been loaned without regard to the se curity and to friends of the members of the state land board, and In some In stances employes, and thst favoritism has been shown In carrying on this business. A short time since he made known that his investigations had shown that loans had been made, espe cially In th southeastern counties of th state, on scant security and to those who had a pull, with th board. It was the pleasure of the state land board to pass some new year's reso lutions along this line of sttack. They have decided that It should ba th privilege of the applicants for state money to bave their claims considered in regular order: and that additional caution should be raised from 0 to 7 per cent and that the people of the state should have the privilege of knowledge as to what. If any. of the state money has been lost throuph the loaning process since th stale received Its landed endownments rrom tne gen eral Government. rosamlasloa Will Probe. A commission Is promised to investi gate all these matter relating to state loans and report to the 12th session of the Idaho legislature. If this committee Is made up of men who are able and at th same time am bitious to make a clean cut report to the. people of the nature of the man agement of this part of their business daring the last 20 years, the report will te full of Interest. It will b understood that when Ida ho's public school fund and reforma tory and eleraosynary Institutions fell heir to all this vast acreage In school land. It was so eafegunrded as to pre clude the possibility of any loss of the capital. In that only the Interest could be distributed, the principal forever remaining intact." There was a further provision which required the state legislature to make good to any fund any loaa made through any Invest ment of this sacred fund. Iadlgnatloa la Mining Towmm. There la Indignation In the mining district of Idaho, of which this Is the center of th largest one. over the proposed plan of assessment of mines mad by th commission named by the Governor to draft a new revenue bill for the consideration of the extra ses sion of the Legislature, called to meet a week from tomorrow. Under existing laws, the mines pay on an assessment of the net output of thrlr properties for th year. This is agreeable to the mining companies and it is regarded as fair by the officers of the mining counties of the state who are better posted on the right and wrong attaching to tn assessment oi this class of property. The commission named for this new labor has completed Its work, and In connection with th assessment of mines It has inserted a suggestion which Is regarded by the laborers and the mine owners of this section of the state as destructive In character. The substitute provides that hereafter mines shall be assessed on the esti mated ore In sight, plus Zo per cent, and that the assessors of th respective counties where ther ar producing mines, shall designate an "expert en gineer" to perform this service an nually. In addition it provides that where mines are not in a producing state the acreage owned shall be as sessed at the average price of the ag ricultural land of the county. It is the opinion of mining men in this district that this plan of assess ment would serve to stop the working of many properties In this district which ar operating on slight margins, while the result of such a plan of as sessment If long In force, would b to actually Inhibit development work. If this plan should be Inaugurated, the mine owners would simply refuse to uncover their veins. They would see to it that the ore was not placed "In sight," for it Is their opinion in the first place that much uncertainty would attach naturally to the value placed on the uncovered vein by the expert, and that th plan would work out to th double assessment of th ore In sight. If more tnan one year's product should ba exposed at one time. There ar 12 of the 27 counties In the state Interested In mining. Of these 12. Shoshone Is greater In point of production than any or all the oth ers, although th Industry I far from negllgabl In any of the Is'. It la fair to state that In the extra session all the membera from these mining counties will be firm in their opposition to the proposed change with out any regard to party affiliation, or the fact that the bill la the effort of a commission created by Governor Haw ley.

Victor NEW LOCATION BAG MAKING HURT If Tariff Is Removed Washing ton Will Be Forced Out. PRISON HEAD MAKES TRIP Superintendent Reed of Walla Walla Penitentiary, Investigates Indus try of Jute Growing In India. Situation Is Told. OLTMPIA, Wash-, Jan. 6. (Special.) According to E. S. Reed, superintend ent of the State Penitentiary at Walla Walla, the state will be forced to aban don the manufacture of grain baps at the Penitentiary If the Federal Gov ernment removes the tariff of 112.60 a thousand, which now prevails. Su perintendent Reed made a trip to India last Summer, having: been commis sioned by the state at the suggestion of Governor Hay, and this statement Is made in his report. The purpose of the trip was to In vestigate the Industry of jute-growing: to determine, if possible, what means should ba taken to operate at a profit th Jut mlU at Walla Walla, which has ' for several years represented a loss. , Mr. Reed found that the Washington Penitentiary mill has used the first grade of Jute, while the India bag Is made from th second, third and fourth grades mixed; that heretofore the state haa been advertising for bids on cer tain private brands of raw Jute, thereby restricting competition; that in India a great deal of waste is used aa filler, which has been discarded at Walla Walla. Identically th same machinery is used In the manufacture of sacks In India as at Walla Walls, he says, but labor In the Oriental country costs much less per day than It costs for the mere subsistence of the convicts In this state. In India the manufacturers are paying II per ton for coal, while Wash ington Is paying from 5 to $8. It is stated that by working what has heretofore been discarded or sold as waste, a saving of $1000 to 11500 per year can be effected at Walla Walla. This waste adds but little to the strength of the sack, but It Is used as a filler to bring up the weight. Mr. Reed says that "weight for weight, the Washington Penitentiary sack has always been superior to the foreign sack, but naturally tne xarmer wouiu buy the cheaper sack if it would an swer the purpose equally as well." "Pome of the mills," he concludes, "were only running four days In the week, as they could not afford to pay tha hla:h nrlce of Jute. I found that the price of gunnies, Hessian cloth, burlap and other Jute fabrics had not increased to any great extent while tha nrice of lute had gone sky nign. making it a losing proposition for the manufacturers."
