SHUMWAY WANTS
STATE TO BENEFIT
Land Commissioner Believes
Mineral Deposits Should
Pay the Upkeep of
the Schools.
(From a Staff Correspondent)
! Lincoln, Neb., Sept. 21 (Special.
Nebraska has a state' official who
is willing to consider that he may
want to retire from office some time,
whose term of office is not restricted
by the constitution. This man U Land
Commissioner Grant Shumway, and-
ne even goes so tar as to write an
article starting in with. "When I re
, tire," etc. His contribution may be
jasen eitner as a valedictory when
leaving his present office, or an
inaugural tor a higher office.
Wants Income For Schnnla.
He discusses some good things as
iuiiows: -
"When I retire from the land com.
missioner's office I will horje that the
' income from reappraised school lands,
xrom invested school tunds, and from
potash and oil leases will pay the
entire running expenses of the com
" mon schools. Today three-fourths of
this- expense is paid by direct taxa
tion.
"This may look impossible, but
xnere is notr.ing magical about it; sim
- ply a business administration of the
land department and information con
, cerning the inherent values of the
state's property.
"The cost of . running the schools
,pf Nebraska is about $3,000,000 per
annum. Rentals on school lands for
agricultural leases will produce ap
proximately $1,000,000 (apainst $200,-
vw previously;, ana mineral lease
contracts in the potash field should
contribute about $500,000, beginning
i.cai oyinis. it is expectea tnat min
t eral contracts yet to be made in this
field will double and perhaps triple
that amount. We have begun to re
. ceive a little from bonuses paid on oil
; prospects, "and .it seems reasonably
sure this activity will bring forth a
discovery of petroleum in one or more
of the ten counties now being pros
pected." Add to this the interest on
the permanent school fund, which is
approximately $500,000. According to
N earning capacity at 5 percent, our
school lands had- a value of $4,000,000.
This will prove to be a $40,000,000
asset, unless all signs fail. -
Money For Reappraisement
. "We are glad of our contribution
to the achievements. We know some-
v thing of land values, and the legisla
ture, upon our recommendation, ap-
propriated $10,000 for reappraisemeut
and rechecking. We have found and
rented lands from which there has
been no income for years, and by Jan
uary 1 will have increased the total
rentals fivefold. ' .
'' "Mineral possibilities began to show
up, and we 'drafted rules where no
laws obtained. The state board were
unanimous -in assisting in this, and
rules are workable and workingnow.
"I shall feel gratified in having perr
formed for the schools and taxpay
ers ofiNebraskr, a little goodly ser
vice, for these constructive policies
will live and the state profit thereby.
Huge Incomes Already.
"Last month Nebraska's potash
mills produced and marketed over
4 $500,000 worth of product. With no
increase of production, a few little
l sand hill lakes will turn out over
1 $6,000,000 per year. But the product
will double many times. One man is
said to be receiving an income of over
5 $50,000 per month.
. "I have discovered that the state
:: . as recently parted with some lands
' oh which are very valuable potash de
posits. I believe that the state board
has been imposed upon by applicants
a to purchase, and that such applicants
I, were well aware that the lakes on
"tracts which they secured contained
rich potash brine. This department
! is investigating the records arid laws
with a view to having set aside Some
$ such deeds that were issued within
the last year or two. ; - ; ,
Equality for All.
"Occasionally we hear sob talk
about the poor sand hiller, 'into
whose life has come, sand hills gold
like a vivacious maiden.' We pre
sume this refers to men with thou
sands a month ' income particularly.
Let it be known, however, that every
t applicant for raineral leases -will re
. , ceive the identical treatment ; from
this department. These good people
who are receiving rich harvests must
f not expect a "free lance on the state
jjf. property. They will be treated fairly
f just as others are. We will make no
preferred lessees much as- our friend
f. ship might incline us to do.
s;n "Now, how came this potash wealth
to Nebraska? I am referring this for
f the snpnilntinn rf ffpnlncri'ste'
' . "In numerous places in the sand
y hills may be seen evidences of earth
folding and the rocks are warped up-
! wards. May this not have been the
s eastern shore of the last cretaceous
I sea, or perhaps have held captive ma;
! rine waters during the Rocky moun
tain revolution? -
Where Minerals Come From.
"Were not the sand hills made of
1
f dune sand accumulating on the shore
x of a steadily diminishing sea, or swept
j from its floor after it had filled with
5 sediment, and disappeared? - To the
:; west of this sea the igneous rocks
were thrust up and were undergoing
; chemical disintegration. May not the
, beds of volcanic ash, tripoli, soda,
i potash and alkali, now in - Nebraska,
5's. have found their genesis in the old
5 rocks of the west, and drifted by pre
. t vailing wind, found lodgment In little
,.r estuaries on the eastern shore of- the
; ancient inland ocean?
I "There are myriad marine shells on
I . these sand hills, and sand granules
f-j vet intact show the very textural na
( ture of the thrust up edges of rock in
; the mountains west Are not these
t" granules today disintegrating into
i their native elements and leaving on
V the surface of the hills their 2.32 per
$ cent potash to- be washed by rains or
; to drift' by winds into the valleys,
where lakes with impervious bottoms
stop their migration?
'! there not now a chemical. oro
cess going on in the laboratory of na
ture, making more and more of this
irht for material, or rather sep
arating it from its native lithospher
ical element? May not the lakes that
yesterday were fresh tomorrow bear
the riches of the changing hills?
"How magnificent and munificent
' is nature, and how great our national
need, and how much consideration for
r
improving schools for bettering the
race! How little seem the petty bick
erings and scramble for preferred
consideration! How small the mind
that cannot view the wider horizon I
Inference, innuendo, small minds that
seek false motive in official acts, will
have no effect upon this office and its
management.
"We have carefully . considered
every means for the conservation of
this- wealth to the state and its early
development. We are ready for any
suggestior with this in view. We
confess-tnefficient rules or knowledge
when the first contract was made, and
will undertake all honorable means
for the modification of that contract
to meet present emergencies. We will
be glad of any public interest that
will prompt a suggestion for improve
ment in handling the affair."
Representative La Bounty
Pays Visit to the Capitol
(From a Staff Correspondent) ,
Lincoln, Sept 22. (Special.) Rep
resentative Albert LaBounty of Fron
tier county, accompanied by W. H.
Barton, editor Of the Maywood Eagle
Republic: R. C Norris.-secretary of
the Southwestern Nebraska Fair as
sociation, and Dr.KL. A. Chamberlain
of Curtis were callers at the state
house today.
ine partial lauure oi crops in ineir
section of the state, due to a lack of
sufficient rain, does not bother the
average Frontier county farmer very
much, according to-, Mr. LaBounty.
"Of course we like to get good crops,"
said he, but it is not essential to the
prosperity which we are having. Lonir
ago we ceased worrying very much
about the' crop business and cnt to
raising cows and other kinds of stock
and as a consequence we are doing
nicely. The income from. our cows
alone keeps us from getting the worry
teeling and take it all around we are
not kicking very much when the corn
crop doesn t "pan out wery big.
Secretary Norris of the fair associ
ation was feeling good over tiie suc
cess of the fair held last week. 1 his is
the association which the legislature
voted $5,000 ;to. help it getMtarted last
winter. The expenditure appears to
have been merited as the fair was a
bier success and will help materially in
encouraging agricultural industries.
Editor Barton has just bought a
new typesetting machine and was also
feeling happy over newspaper pros
pects. Dr. Chamberlain came along
to keep the rest of the bunch trom
getting into trouble.

Washington, Sept. 22. Unless
some new outbreak of submarine ac
tivity develops, many officials are
satisfied that the situation is well
under control. Encouraging results
have "been obtained through convoy
ing of fleets of merchant craft, the
loss having been reduced to less than
one-half of one per cent. Tie em
ployment of smoke screens, kite bal
loons and other detection devices also
has shown good results and progress
is being made with the reduction of
smoke from merchantmen and by
painting ships to make them almost
invisible at a distance through a peri
scope. - .
In discussing submarine conditions
today, Admiral Benson, chief of naval
operations and acting secretary in the
absence of Secretary Daniels, indi
cated the department's intention to
make known more of its accomplish
ments hereafter than in the past.
Admiral Benson said the depart
ment had been unable to find any sup
port for reports that the German subr
marines either had begun operations
off the American coast or were pre
paring - to do so. The department,
however, is ready for any emergency.
The "smoke box," a device to be
thrown overboard from a vessel when
a submarine appears, has proved
highly successful in some cases. A
great smoke rises instantly when the
chemicals in the box come in contact
with the water and under the screen
created the vessel has opportunity to
change hei course. - i
Experimenting continues! with
many other devices. Thomas A. Edi
son is still at work on investigation
to which he devoted himself at the
outbreak of war.
Fetters Complimented ' -
By Secretary Daniels
Albert II. Fetters, mechanical engi
neer for the Union Pacific Railroad
cojnpany is considerably pleased over
the receipt of a personal Iftter from
Josephus Daniels, secretary of the
navy.
Not long ago Mr. Fetters prepared
and mailed to Secretary Daniels a
chart showing the number of British
ships reported sunk by submarines
during the period from February 28
to and including September 13, this
year, according to data supplied by
the newspapers. Replying to Mr.
Fetters, Secretary Daniels says:
"Allow me to thank you for your
letter of August 28, enclosing a
graphic chart showing the British
weekly reports of submarine losses.
This chart is very interesting and en
couraging and I thank you for your
thoughtful courtesy in sending it to
me."
The chart is done in ink and has
to do with vessels of under and overJ
1,600 tons carrying capacity, as well
as aeanng witn iisning crait. it
shows that the high water mark of
destruction of vessels of the first and
second class was, reached during the
week ending April 25. There was an
other week of considerable destruc
tion about the middle of June and
after that there was a pronounced
falling off that has since continued.

idea'of giving to America a soft drink such as it had never
before ta3ted. A new kind of soft drink, in flavor and in
its cereal ircredicnt3 a ecft drink 'that should be nutri
tious as well as delirious pure and wholesome. '"'
The idea took root it was cultivated, experimented with,
tended with' all the care and skill that science could
; apply. For, four years this work went on and then finally
about: a year ego there sprang into being, Bevo the drink
' tritmphant "; . '.''Z i'-' v
