State Potash Leases.
H, R. No. 9. Authorizes the board
of educational lands and funds to exe
cute mineral, oil and gas leases on
state school lands, regardless of ag
ricultural leases previously or sub
sequently made covering the same
lands. Declares meandered lakes,
ponds and strearrts, and the beds
i thereof, to be state property, and
gives the board authority for leas-
ing purposes over all such areas, as
well as over other lakes and river
beds belonging to the state. Reserves
touhe state ill mineral, gas and oil
rights - on lands heretofore sold,
where such right have not been con-"'-
veyed to the purchasers.
. Makes it unlawful to prospect for
potash or other minerals, oil or gas
on lands or in lakes or streams be
longing to the state without first ob
x taining a permit from the board. Pro
vides for investigations to be made
by the state conservation and soil
. survey and reports thereon to the
board.
Making of Leases.
Empowers the board to make rules
( and regulations and to exercise its
' discretion in the making of leases,
y guided by the best Dublic oolicv and
v, with a view to expediting productiqn,
safeguarding the state's interests, and
preventing such rights from being
monopolized or falling into the hands
i of enemy aliens: Limits individual
lessees to one section of lancf- each,
and borbids corporations or associa
tions to acquire more than 10,000
acres by assignment or otherwise.
Term of leases limited to three years,
, subject to renewal.
In the case of potash, saline depos
its, silica, volcanic ash, sand, gravel,
fuller's earth and tripoli, ax lessee
, mgst begin construction of a produc
t ing plant within 90 days after obtain
ing a permit. For other mineral de
- velopment, oil, gas or coal, one year's
time is allowed. Failure to proceed
with diligence or to file reports with
' the state board, or making false re
turns, will be sufficient cause for can
cellation of the lease.
Upon the discovery of any valuable
substance in commercial quantities,
the lessee is required to report to the
state land commissioner within 30
flays. Should the state board find
that. there is unnecessary delay be
tween the time of discovery and pro
duction of the material, it may de
mand more rapiddevelopment or caf
rel the 'lease. '
Can Renew Lease..
The prospector is given the right to
renew his lease upon the same terms,
so long as production continues in
. paying quantities, but this provision
, is contingent upon the action of fu
f ure legislatures to mike such laws
. teme the state's interests. Where the
lessee has proceeded in good faith,
. ven though no successful production
; has resulted, the board may grant
. him an extension or renewal.
Potash and other mineral leases
shall be made on the basis of a roy
alty of not less than 5 per cent to the

tion both the cash bonus and the
royalty, llowevcrwhere leases have

invalid by the supreme 'court, the
board may, re-award them to the
same persons in its discretion, where
theJessess have made considerable
preparation for development, or
where they are willing to match the
best bid made by anyone else.
Assignments of leases will not be
deemed lawful or binding without the
approval of the board. If any associ
ation or corporation transfers more
than 10 per cent of its.stock to one
that is legally disqualified, all leases
it holds shall thereupon become void.
Were potash, alkali or sa ine lakes
are located partly on state land and
partly on private land, they shall be

Close at Pi I
British Headquarters in Fiance,
April 12. -The withdrawal of the Brit
ish troops from Armentieres does not
mean as much from a military stand
point as might appear from a first
glance, but the Germans undoubted
ly will njake much of the capture for
the moral effect at home.
Any distress over the abandonment
of Armentieres is due more to senti
mental than tactical reasons.
In order to appreciate fully the
trend of the present fighting the offen
sive operations must be viewed as a
whole, for they go to make irn what
undoubtedly is the crucial c: flict of
the war. The loss of a city here or
there or tlje abandonment of five or
ten miles of territory in any sector
does not mean disaster.
The battle has got beyond such con
siderations and has settled down to
a grim race to determine whether the
German man power is enough to make
good the threat to annihilate the
British" army and force its capitula
tion. It is a cold, proposition of whjcli
side can kill the most men in the
next few weeks and at the same time
find more recruits to fill the ranks.
Austria Reiterates
Loyalty to Germany
Vienna (Via Amsterdam), 'April
12. Complete solidarity exists be
tween Austria and Germany and
"we shall jointly enforce an honor
able peace," says Emperor Charles
in a telegram to Emperor William
denying the truth of the declaration
made early in the week by Premier
Clemenceau of France that the Aus
trian emperor recognized France's
claim to Alsace-Lorraine.
It is added that the fact that Aus-tro-Hungarian
troops are fighting
for Alsace-Lorraine -on the .western
front demonstrates the emperor's
faithfulness to his ally.
