FARMING LEASES
DO NOT INCLUDE
MINERAL RIGHTS
Status of Holders of School
' Lands Defined by Commis
sioner Shumway as to
Potash Lakes.
(From Staff Corrtspondsiit.)
Lincoln, Jane 20. (Special.) The
status of holders of school land leases
for agricultural purposes and the
rights of the holders of the same as
viewed by the State Board of Educa
tional lands is set forth in a letter be
ne sent out bv Land Commissioner
G. L. Shumway today to holders of
agricultural leases on land where
Jakes show potash deposits.
s Status of School Lands.
"The State Board of Educational
Lands and Funds has before it for
consideration the regular reappraise
ment of lands in your vicinity.
"The supreme court holds that all
old leases arc for agricultural and
grazing purposes only and carry no
rights to the mineral resources. It
forbade the removal of any minerals
by the agricultural lessees.
"The district court of Lancaster
county has held that agricultural
leases cannot be interfered with with
out consent of the lease-holder. That
, the state cannot develop its minerals
and potash without the approval of
agricultural (lease-holders until the
expiration of their several leases. This
will seriously interfere with the pro-
... ' i t ,
auction oi poiasn lor nauonai war
needs and cut down the American
food supply. The supreme teurt has
yet to pass upon this finding of the
district court
Values of Leases.
. "In the meantime the attitude of the
agricultural lease-holders in the mat
ter of preventing the state, or persons
tinder state authority, from develop-
intr mineral resources on state lands.
will have a bearing on a review of
values of such agricultural leases.
ut i r i : 1
. in Oluer worus, u oy an agritui
- tural lease you claim, a right to min
erals, or a right to prevent the state
or its agents from developing miner
als, naturally the lease you hold has in
-your mind greater value than it would
have if you make no claim to nflh-
- erals and jvill not interfere in any way,
or interpose an objection, to pros
pecting therefor.
"The state board prefers to have
. ! ...ii i : i ...
inc agricultural snu niuiciai icsuuivcs
distinctly separate. In fact it is the
only practical way of handling the
two resources so distinctly different
-"Therefore, by its direction, I am
sending you a statement with the re
quest that you sign and return it im
mediately. Should you fail to do this,
it will be assumed that you place the
- higher value on your agricultural
lease and the board will feel justified
in raising the value.
' "In case the state and national in
terests require mineral development
upon land embraced in your agricul
tural lease, your agricultural rights
will remain as they are, except for
- the, laying of pipe lines or the space
necessary for operating drills or
pumps a few acres at most. The
state will protect you in any measure
of damage to the agricultural value
of the lease and for the use of ground
necessarily occupied for mineral pur
poses and for damages to crops or the
agricultural productivity of the lease."

STORM HITS DDHLAP;
TWO BOYSDROWNED
Stock Swept Away, Alfalfa
Buried in Mud, Many Bridges
Out and Big Damage
Results.
Hemingford, Neb., June 20. (Spe
cial.) Two Jensen boys were
drowned at Dunlap, Neb., as a re
suit of swollen streams, caused by a
storm and heavy rains, and widespread
damage was done. Stock were swept
away louth of Pine Ridge and al
falfa buried in the fhud. Many, bridges
were washed away.
At Hemingford and vicinity, the
rain amounted to over four inches, but
did not extend farther than six or
seven miles south of town. The only
damage in Box Butte county was
along Roberts' .canyon, three miles
north of town, where the whole bed
of the canyon is torn up ana consid
erable live stock floated away to Dun-
lao. where the canyon 101ns the river.
At tVi . Trtcnk PrrtrJiavk ranrh
over 100 acres of fine creek bottom al
falfa was destroyed. The north end
of Box Butte county was thorough
ly soaked by this and succeeding
showers and has the best prospect for
a crop of wheat in its history.
Many section tracts have been
broken out by tractors, and the wheat
acreage for 1919 will be increased at
least 600 or 700 per cent. A good part
of this will be put into winter wheat
and there will be a large acreage of
winter rye. Many of the large ranches
are being subdivided and new improve
ments are going up rapidly m every
direction. One hundred and one new
families were registered at the re
ception for newcomers, held recently
Hn Hemingford. The present activity
should bring more families than this

Story of Enoch Arden
Re-enacted by Marriage
Of Grand Island Twain
Grand Island, Neb.. June 20. (Spe
cial.) The marriage of. Albert J. Sey
mour, 60, painter by trade and now
employed at the Central rower com
pany's ice plant, and Mrs. Lottie B.
Seymour, 45, who lives on North Oak.
near Tenth street, reunites as husband
and wife a couple who had been mar
ried for years and whose legal separa
tion resulted from a report that Sey
mour was dead.
More than 12 years ago Seymour
left the city. For years no word was
heard from him. After about eight
years his wife heard he was dead.
Lacking legal proof of this she had
the marriage relations dissolved by
the court. Several months ago Sey
mour returned to Grand Island very
much alive. He and his former wife
became reconciled and a remarriage
was decided on.
Both appeared very happy when
they called at the county court for
the license Monday afternoon.
Six children are living, one son be
ing in the navy, one daughter being
married and the other children living
at home.
