After C2 years alleged violation
of Its agreement with tbe state of

are carried lo success.
In 13G4 Sand Island was ceded
to tbe government by tbe state
tc be used for military Du r noses
and this was a condition of the
transfer of the Island to the ror-
ernment. But the government
never has used the island for mill
tary purposes, but instead has
leased It as a fishing ground, for
which It in very valuable. Now
the state land Jmard has a plan
for recovering possession of the
Island. At a meeting a week from

that the state owns the island and
will lease it to some corporation
for fishing purposes. If the gov
ernment contests tho state's right
tho corporation to which it is
leased, according to an offer and
agreement now made, will defond
tbe state's position in court.
Revenues from the island from
fishing leases should run about
$20,000 for the remainder of this
year It Is said, and ordinarily will
run as high as sio.000. There is
a possibility that the state may
endeavor to collect for the whole

would bring a very large sum into

Tentative boundaries have been
formed for the Washington school
district In anticipation of the ne
cessity of reopening the school for
use next fall. Even if decision
made to open the school, it is
tatcd, tiie boundaries as now es
tablished may be varied a few
blocks one way or another. At
present the line runs as follows:
Starting at the corner of D und
Summer streets, the lino runs
south on Summer to the corner of
Summer and Court. From there
it runs west on Court to Church,
where it turns south again, going
south on Church to Belleview, At
the corner of Belleview and
Church the boundary turns east
running in that direction on Belle
view to 17th and then north to
State. It goes east on Statu to
Oth, then north to Center, then
west to A street. The lino from
there- runs uiong A street to 15th
and A, then north on 15th to D,
then west on D to the corner oi
D and Summer streets.
If the school board should de
cide to open the building, nnd the
boundary be fixed us planned, the
district will include 324 pupils
who uro now attending other
grade schools. Boundaries for the
other districts would have to be
readjusted also.
It is expected in most quarters
that it will be necessary to use
tbe Washington schol building in
ome way next year to relieve the
congestion which will result from
the natural growth of school popu
lalion. Whether or not lha build
ing will be used as an ordinary
grade school, or for some other
purpose, will be decided at un
early meeting of tbe board. It is
not expected that Die building
will be ueed as a junior high
school. The piesent boundary will

against the si!j ot "risque" maga
zincs to high school students was
started by County Attorney Beal
yesterday when he referred to fed
era I authorities complaint of high
school teachers that periodicals
containing salacious stories und
ohsc mo pictures hail been found
in the school. The magazines
question can be obtained at almost
my news stand. County Attorney
Ileal said, but there is no r.tate law
:nder which the distributors can
be prosecuted.
"Such magazines, In my opin
ion, ure doinj," more to break down
the morals of (tie children than
inything said," Heal said. "They
arj the curse of tho age. 1 hey
print suggestive stories which are
not fit for anybody to read, let
iloue high scii-jl children of tcndci
ige. If there was any way I might
bring prosecutions in these cas?s
I most certainly would do so."
