With the sale of these lands and the |
return lo the slate or more than a halt
million dollars, one of the worst land
tangles In the state's history has been |
cleaned up.
IN LITIGATION.
, , ....
The land had been Involved In litlga
tlon for years. Because the district is
municipal corporation the state has j
been unable to legally pay the dis
trict's malntainance assessments, re
■ulting in charges totaling mote than
1100,000 piling up against the lands.
To clear away the difficulty the 1917
legislature attempted to 'give'' the
lands to the irrigation district, de
ciding it would be better to get rid of
the lands than to let assessment
charges continue to pile up. The state
supreme court, however, held that a
$95,000 appropriation to enable the dis
trict to ''buy" the lands was unconstl
utional.
SLATE IS CLEANED.
The present state land board Inherit
ed the Gem lands as a bad problem.
An effort to get the last legislature to
pay up the back assessments was at
first fruitless, but following a confer
ence between Governor Davis, Commis
sioner Nash, Attorney General Black
and the approyriations committees an
appropriation for that purpose was
finally put through.
Front the proceeds of the sale the
•täte will realize not only the S119.000
appropriated to pay **»_ihe back as
sessments but will be able to return
to the state school fund nearly v-100,
•00 besides.
Bidding was spirited on all the land
except some of the tracts In the sec
tions outside the irrigation district.
The highest price was $192 per acre,
and from this It ranged down to the
appraised value of from $10 to $65 per
ftcre ^
247 PER CENT OVER APPRAISAL.
On the first 10 parcels, the bidders
paid 247 per cent more than the ap
The first 40 acres up. appraised at
$55 per acre, was sold ot $127. Only
one of the first 10 tracts sold for the
appraised value, $12 per acre, and that
was a tract on which only 12 acres
could be watered, and the price was
therefore extraordinary in that case.
MORE RECORD PRICES.
The tenth tract, appraised at $45
per acre, went for $100, one appraised
at $55 went for $155, and another ap
praised at. $55 went for $170 per acre.
Buyers came front all over the Pa
cific 'oast. A strong advertising cam
paign had been launched by O. H.
Barber, state Immigration commission
er. which resulted in bringing in many
of. the buyers.

My HEART - My HUSBAND
Adels Garrison's New Phase of
Revelations of a Wife
How Madgm Hold St mad family to Faith and Hop*.
I F I had not known little Mrs. Dttfkoo
so thoroughly I perhaps should not
have been so composed at the thrust
•lie had given ma concerning Dlcky'a
visits to the Fairfax apartment. But I
have become very well acquainted with
my small friend's propensity for exag
geration, so at her remark I simply
smiled at her teasingly, and held up an
admonishing forefinger.
"Now 'fees up!" I said sternly. "On
your honor now! Did Alfred say specifi
cally that he had seen a lot of Dicky
over at the Fairfaxes"
8he squirmed in lier chair as an un
easy kitten might have done.
"He said he'd seen a lot of Dicky."
she declared defiantly. "And if that
doesn't mean over at the Fairfaxes 1
don't know what does, for from the
things Alfred lets drop I know Airs
there more than half his time.",
I laughed and blew her a kiss.
"You little fraud!" I said good
naturedly. "If the hoys could hear you
they would declare your imagination is
working overtime again."
She pouted resentfully, even as her j
pretty laugh bubbled from her lips. It
Is a tense and tragic moment indeed I
for little Mrs. Durkee when she cannot
greet everything with a laugh.
"I don't understand you at all.
Madge," ah« asserted. "If Dicky ware
my husband and staying downtown for
a month or two, and gallivanting around
with a pretty girl, I'd—I'd snatch him
bald-headed!"
"No, you wouldn't." I returned, com
posedly. snipping a thread from a pair
of pink "creepers" I was making for my
small son. who. In a "walking chair"—
a cleverly constructed framework on
wheels, which allows baby to stretch
his limbs and go through the move
ments of walking without bearing hia
whole weight upon his Immature mus
cles—was ambling all over the screened
veranda. "You'd be a sensible lady, as
I am, and realize that when there is an
unusual stress of work on hand a man
has to stay In the city, and you wouldn't
object to his calling on his friends or
even taking them out to dinner or the
theatre."
A Brave Front.
It cost me an effort to say this calm
ly and pleasantly. First, because, dear
friend as little Mrs. Durkee 1«, I In
wardly resented her strictures upon my
affairs. And second, because I was by
no means as complacent over the news
she had brought me as I outwardly ap
peared.
Not that I ever again could be really
jealous of Edith Fairfax. That she still
hopelessly loved Dicky T was sure, al
though her war work had given her
other interests, and had broadened her
horizon so that she would never again
be as unhappy over him as she had
been. But during the time following

Dicky's airplane accident, vision had
been given me to sec many things, and
among them was the glorious truth that
despite all his volatile unstableness m$
husband's heart was supremely min*
Mrs. Durkeo's Suggestion.
1 was not idiotic enough to heller*
that I never would face the danger of
losing him. but I knew that his fancy
would never be enmeshed by a girl of
Edith Fairfax's gentle, rather colorias*
nature. The rare beauty, the imperious
ways, the touch of diablerie of th*
Grace Draper type of girl would always
spell danger, at least temporarily for
me. But our marital love had weathered
one such test, and I resolutely shut my
eyes to the possibility of another. And
as for idle, graceful attentions from
Dicky to his studio friends, I had long
since made up my mind that I would
waste neither time nor emotion la
needless thought over them.
But It Is one thing to resolv* another
to carry out that resolve, not only In
the letter, but in the spirit Bo, whllo
1 was able to keep my face composed,
my hands from trembling, yet any wlf*
will understand that my brain did not
exactly enjoy the pictures which little
Mrs. Durkee's words had flashed upon
it. Inconsistently, selfishly also, I must
admit, I would rather have visualized
my husband sulking in his studio over
our disagreement than have pictured
him making a Joyous Fourth in the out
ings of Alfred Durkee and the Fairfax
girls.
And despite my outward composure,
little Mrs. Durkee was shrewd enough
to read my thoughts.
"You're a good talker. Madge." sho
said calmly, putting out a ateadylng
hand toward Junior, who was doing his
best to overturn the walking chair, "but
you can't bluff me. You're ns more
pleased to hear of Dicky rushing a girl
around to places than any other wom
an would be, but I suppose you'd bo
chewed up in little pieces before you'd
admit It.
"How this youngster does grow! H*
must be nearly a year old, isn't he?"
"He'll have his first birthday next
Sunday," I said proudly.
"Bless my soul!" my little friend ex
claimed excitedly. "I didn't know It
was that near."
She snatched Junior from hla walking
chair and began to coo over him in her
delightful fashion.
"Bless his heart, if his Auntie Durkee
didn't almost forget dis booful baby's
blrfday. Never mind, he shall have
someflrg pretty, so he shall." She in
terrupted herself to look up at me
shrewdly:
"You ought to have a party for him,**
she said. "Of course, Dicky will be
home for Sunday?"
"Of course." I said confidently, stead
fastly crushing down any semblance ot
doubt.
