Bpeelal Dtaseteh to The Joaraal.) ' Bola. Ida.. Dec. .--The Investigation of the legislative Investigating commit . ! ; ta, appointed by the lost legislature to - 'examine into the condition of the state. land office, came id a sudden end today, '' when the members received a telegram .from Attorney-General Quheen advising ' them that In his opinion the approprla- tlon made to pay the expense was not .,' available to he committee. - ' ' ?'he legislature appropriated $5.00 to ray the expense of this Investigation, the title to the act being as follows: To appropriate funds to defray the expense of an ' investigation to " ascertain the . exact condition of the various funds arising from the donation of lands from the United States to the state of Idaho as embodied In the "Idaho Admission i-klll." and for securing all data In con nectlon therewith which 'may be con ducive lo the "best-trrterests-of -the tate, and to provide for necessary books and ' ; placing the affairs of f he land office on , a thorough busfness basis. This act followed the adoption of the ' resolution authorising the committee to " continue the Investigation which It had - ' begun, but it failed to connect the com- mlttee with the expenditure of the ap propriation, y ' 'The committee found ' upon Inquiry that the state land board had employed an expert In the person of K. L. Marvin to do the work It had expected to per " ' form and that ..the 15,000 appropriated - was being' used to cover this expense. . Marvin Is an expert In this line of busl- neks.- He was employed by the Northern Pacific railroad to scrip Its land In northern Idaho, millions of dollars worth of which la still being contested - - for by the state. - The committee mem , . bers felt that they had been very shab- ; blly treated by the action of the land : board Investigating Itself, with a man -of Its 'own, selection, and the funds - which the legislature- Intended should j be used by them, being paid out for this purpose. ' The committee adjourned ' for ' the ' present to take counsel with other at- . torneys on the legality or the action or the, land board. . Bald one of the mem . bers previous to leaving for home: It may be all right, but It looks ; pretty gaily, to say the least, for the . ' state board . to proceed as they have ' been doing. , We are not charging the - land ' department with -any--dishonesty, though we have - found where a great many thousands of acres of timber land have been Illegally soldi The legislature ,.' resolved thst this investigation should - v be carried on by Its committee, and to i find that Its will has been thwarted In ' this manner gives the situation the ap- pexance9JL-naying soraeming nai needed to be covered up. ' we aamof J intend to- let the -matter rest, but If - we find that we have the authority to ) proceed we shall do so and .trust to the next, session to take care of the . ex pense. The land board la Investigating Itself with Its own hired man. and Jt Is a pretty sure thing that he will make no discoveries of anything wrong If he ' expects to hold his Job." . MANY GEMS PRODUCED.

';. ' (Josroal Special Senlre.t , Vienna, Deo. J.-Flfty-seven years ago today. In the storm and tumult occa sioned by the revolution of 1st ft. Francis Joseph wss. placed on the throne of the Hapsburg. The anniversary was oo served today In the capital and else where with thanksgiving services arid other outward forms ss In past years. But it. needs scarcely a .glance under the surf ace of ' things to see that the conditions In the dual empire today are almost precisely the same as those pre ceding the outbreak of T years sgo. The volcano may burst forth at any moment, or It may continue to rumble and sputter until the hand which-has so long held the sheath of nations to gether is relaxed by death. Through all the storm and stressJ Francis Joseph stands steaaraeuy ai the helm guiding the ship of State as ha-feala In duty bound., ; A keen observer of national . condi tions onoe styled Emperor Francis Jos eph "the most universally respected monarch in the world." The venerable monarch enjoys not only the love of the people he rules sMove having ln.lt much of the Intimate, unreasoning char acter found in that of a child for its father but from political opponent as well as friend, from high and low, from stranger and familiar, respect, sincere and full-measured, is his. It is this love and respect shown by all classes which, in the troublous times Austria Is now experiencing. Justify the statement that the empire in Its present form will endure so long as Emperor Francis Joseph lives, and it is because of realising how much of the old em peror's power over his people Is purely personal that "calm thinking men fear that when he has laid the scepter aside the turbulent factions . bow making themselves felt on every side will over throw . the entire governmental struc ture. - ' The same writer who described Fran cis Joseph ss the most universally re spected monarch In - the world might also with equal truth described him as the "unhappleet monarch." At 7 years of age the venerable - emperor stands bent and broken, heartsore and weary. The domestic tragedies which ' have blighted his life, including the murder of his only son and hetr under clrcum stances never yet cleared up, and the assassination of his wife, the beautiful Empress Elissbetlv hava been-recounted so often that they do not need repeti tion. - ' v Practically deserted by all . his kin save his beloved daughter, the Arch duchess Marie Valerie, and his grand children, the aged monsrch Is left to pursue his life Journey to the end with' out thoee pleasures and comforts ac oorded to his humbleaTTObjccts en their declining years.'

ALMOST A PLAGUE OF REINDEER Immense Herds Blunder Through the Tanana District in ;' Alaska. . MINERS SLAY' SEVERAL CARIBOU WITH AXES Ruthless Slaughter Is Not Permitted, but Each Man Secures a Winter's Supply of Venison Which Is Much Appreciated. ' "There is perhaps but one places, on the American continent' where men In this destroying age find It necessary to kill native deer as a matter of pro tection," remarked J. T. Simpson last evening. "I saw wild reindeer-killed In droves In the Tanana In the heart of . mining camps. They . were not .ex actly attacking workmen, but certain' ly were getting close. This seems In credible, especially In view of the gen eral Impression that the caribou, rapid. It la becomlna extinct . In Alaska. Drovea of them swarmed Into, the bastn of Fairbanks and Cleary creeks while seeking winter quarters farther toward the Interior Miners, were .surprised by the vanguard and shot a few for winter meat. Then the reindeer came In droves Frightened, by the cabins and tents of the miners they rushed clumsily to get serosa the streams, always bound for the winter pastures that had been chosen when leaving the high coast range mountains that constitute ' the summer range. - . ) . ; Meat tot Crews of teas. . "Some ot. -the miners killed as high as 20, giving a heavy supply of winter meat for a .good crew of men. Cold weather was setting In. which enabled the men to preserve the meat A few would not kill more than three to six, ssvthey had a good stock of provisions already. I believe there was little wanton slaughter, although several thousand of the animals could have been killed. The sentiment of the min ing, districts of Alaska Is to preserve the wild reindeer as a food animal, ao far aa possible, and any man known to have killed more than he could handle waa criticised severely." Mr. Simpson lives In Ban Francisco and Is en route smith to winter. He works on Cleary creek and was among the last of the gold diggers to come out The season's cleanup of gold had been finished practically when he. left and every one was preparing for a heavy winter with the hope of bringing the production of next year up to above 110,000,000. Killed Deer With Axes. ' Of the reindeer Invasion many thrill ing stories are told. Three or four in, stances were related of killing the an, imals with axes. One bull caribou plunged Into, a sluice getting his great horns tangled with the timbers and be fore he could extricate himself was dls patched with an ax. i Another, becoming bewildered by the surroundings, tried to rush Into a cabla which was occupied by a woman, but hM horns would not permit him to pass the door. - Others, arter making rrequenc at tempts to cross the . creeks where men were at work would make a wild rush to break through and get Into all man ner of complications. Every reindeer was bent - upon- crossing, and crossing at the place where he came to the creek. All opposition .but added to the anlmal'a bewilderment and rendered It an easy prey for the men and dogs. - - Band. Zs Divided. An Immense drove of the reindeer started from the headwaters of the Tanana and the mountain range separat ing that basin from the coast. Pros pectors state that the band seemed to divide somewhere on the eastern slope of the, main range, one half striking aoroKS 'country toward the Ulterior via the Fairbanks and Cleary creek routes The other half did not encounter any prominent mining districts, but was har- rassed for a period by Vie Indians. wne keep well Informed . on the rail move ments of the Immense herds.
