A statement prepared bv Mm stii.. liind,office, at the request of Governor nest tor the use of the Oreson conserv ation commission, shows approximately j,i.u,ouu acros of land, derived through grant from the federal government, to nave uecu sold. For these lauds tlio stale received $(i,08,G00. or a little less than $2.15 per acre. There remains yet unsold 5,)0,000 acres of surveyed, and 230,000 acres of unsurveyed lands. The governor, commenting on this says: "Hod the same protection h,, thrown around the school fund in past .M'ors as is now being thrown around it, 3e iuinLwouKUiave amounted rn H,;,. ty or forty millions of dollars, instead of a little more than six and ons hnlf millions, the amount now in the fund. The handling of our school fnnl stands as an objoet lesson iu plunder ana waste. It shows how public offi cials will often stand idly by and per mit such a sacred trust as the school fund to be plundered by selfish inter ests without raising a hand in its defense."

While wait ing to bo called to the witness stand in the F. Drew Camlnetti white slave trial here, Marsha Warrington and Lo la Norris, involved with Caminetti and Diggs in the Reno escapade, are being flooded with proffers of marriage from all over the country. Grey-haired old men and romantic youths, farme boys and urbane men of profession are offering heart and hand to the girls whose court confes sions have been of such character as to require police to keep back the crowds in the federal building corridors. The ardent proposals in manv. cases are ac- compauied by photographs of the more or less handsome senders. A number of letters of this charactor have even been sent to the girls in care of cjurt officials, and several, it is declared, have been delivered to Judge Van Fleot's chambors Letter heads indicate that some of the missives come from theatrical agencies in the East. Without distinc tion they have found their way to the waste basket. One New Witness. With the exception of Peter J. Te nancy, secretary of the state board of control, under whom Caminetti for a time was employed at Sacramento, the witnesses today woro the same as those who laid the foundation for the prose cution in the Diggs case. All efforts of the government to re veal Caminetti 's domestic affairs thronph Tehnev were frustrated at this time Theodore Roche had announced that tho prosecution intended to show, through this witnoss, that Caminetti 's resignation from the board of control clerkship indicated his intention of leaving Sacramento and his family per manently. The defense had maintained that tho trip was only to have lasted a short time. Caminetti 's resignation was admit ted in evidence. It directed the Vato controller to turn over his salary war rant, calling for $lii to tho Sacramento Valley Tiank, to cover checks he had issued the night of the flight of the quartet to Reno. It was written on tho stationery of Austin & O Bnen's saloon. Tehaney also will be called as a witness by the defense later. More Women Present. Ho hnd been preceded by E. W. Mil ler, Reno grocery clerk, who again told of delivering produce to Diggs and Caminetti and tho two girls, who rep resented themselves as husbands and wives. Perhaps more women than have ap peared thus far at oither trinl were present when court opened today. Sev eral young girls with books under their arms gave the impression that they were "playing hookey" from school. They started up hastily when the 12 o'clock whittle Mew, and hurried on'. Attorney Is Grilled. Marshall 11. Woodworth, of couiiM.d for Caminetti, got one stiff dressing down from Judge Van Fleet when court begun. Special Prosecutor Mutt. I. Sill liviin, as soon as court opened, called the attention of Jiulgo Van 1'ieet to statement printed by a lo. al newspipi'i .yesterday in which Woodwortn wn-i quoted as saying that the Mnnn net was on trinl in the ( amiiietti case and that it wan never intended to cover such n timis as his. Sullivan doclnp'd this statement by Woodworth was most im proper and was designed to affect tlie jury. "I 'unnot imauine such a statement coming from counsel," sniil Judge Van i Fleet. "It is entirely improper and it repeotod will be considered a seiiics cou'empt of court. This ease will h; ttied in this court only, not ill the newspapers.

Bound hand foot, with pockets rifled and with a note warning him to cease ac tivities in connection with the Eliza beth Weber murder cases, lvinst beside him, W. F. McCullough, aged 22. a pri vate detective, was found in an alley back of the Spokane theatre early to day. "This is what you get for knowing too much about the Weber case," was the inscription on the ' paper McCullough was unconscious when found, but recovered soon after being removed to a hospital. He stated he had spent much time in working on the mystery surrounding the murder of Elizabeth Weber, a young girl, a year and a half ago. BOARD OF EQUALIZATION WILL MEET NEXT MONTH Pursuant to the amended tax law. the Marion county board of equalization will mcot this year on the second Mon day of next month instead of the old date, the third Monday in October. County Assessor West declared yes torday that the assessment roll will have boen completod next Saturday and all prepared to be turned over to the equalization board by' the 8th of next month. According to Assessor West, the acre age and town lots records this vear con tain twenty-two more pages than those or 11)12, which is considered to Iia u exceptional increase in view of the fact that each page includes a great number of acres and city properties. LABOR MEN READY FOR ANNUAL OBSEVANCE Parade Will Be Great Feature, and There Will Ije Interesting Ad dresses Made on Occasion. The weather permitting, one of Hip longest and most original Labor Day parades ever taking place in Salom will be staged next Monday. Tho dif ferent trades unions have made tho rinnl preparations for uniforms to mark their respective vocations, and every class of workmen will bo well represented in the parade.

Although there were but 739 people registered under the ne wlnw, the majority of voters being exempt from registration at this time, the records show that out of the numbor of appli cants for registration since June 3 there are 121 Prohibitionists to 117 Democrats, while the Socialist party is represented by but 14 voters, and 387 Republicans registered. Tho Inde pendent voters registering total 72, while 9 Bull Moosors declared them selves. The county dork accented the applications of 19 persons who would not divulge their polities. For the first timo in the history of Marion county's registration it is now possiblo to secure a rnrriw.1 and expedient report of tho registra tion prior to elections. County Clerk Oehlhnr has systematized the registra tion problem to the extent that he can turn to an index file, and within a few soennds give any inquirer tho exact copy of the record of registration of any voter. Under tho old registration law, this was imposisble, due to the fact that there was no system by which tho clerk or his deputies could find certain names of those registering. Al though tho new system requires much more work and timo, it is thoroughly efficient in every respect, and when the registration books are onco closed future reference to them is but a mat ter of a minute's interview with the county elerk 's office.

CBble ad vices today from John Lind, President Wilson's special peace emissary to Mexico, indicated there is still a strong probability of Provisional President Huerta accepting President Wilson's peace suggestions. Llud's latest note, however, did not confirm reports that Huerta had accepted the peace plan in full, but the fact that Lind announced that ho would continue his stay In Mexico indefinitely is considered en couraging by Washington officio!. The state department this afternoon made public the gist of the lastest cable from Lind. It said: Request Withdrawn. "The requost for an exchange of ambassadors is withdrawn, but Huer ta hopes the presidont ambassadorial personnel in Mexico City will continue until after the October election." It is reported here that nuerta ar gued that Presidont Wilson's request that Huerta not be a candidate for the presidency in October constituted a recognition of nuerta 's provisional government. The administration, how evor, repudiates such an Interpreta tion. . Huorta's latest note to Lind, it is said, virtually reopens nnirnHntinn. - Huerta's counter proposals..
