MESOPOTAMIA OIL. i Administration officials are gratified over unofficial advices that Great Britain will agree to American participation in the exploitation of the Mesopotamian oil fields. This question has been the subject of long displo-mati- c negotiations, the United States insisting that all countries had equal rights in mandated countries, as against the English contention that Great Birtain had sole rights due to its mandate. GAS AND OIL PERMITS. I ;i , The land office at Washington reports that it received in February 235 applications for oil and gas prospecting permits under sections thirteen and twenty of the leasing law, and granted 231 permits. It received in January from bonuses, rentals and royalties $309,504, of which $56,041 were from land in naval reserves. The land office has revoked its former requirement that lessees of oil lands shall furnish with royalties payments a statement showing the porduc-tion- , grade and value of oil, and wells from which produced. This is designed to prevent duplication, as field offices of the bureau of mines are now computing the royalty statements upon reports of the lessees. In announcing that 22,000 acres of land in Teton county, Montana, Great Falls land district, are open to homestead and desert land entry for ninety days, beginning March. 3, the land office says lands remaining unentered after June 2 will be opened to settlement and all forms of entry. For the greater part of the land a successful applicant will be required to file a petroleum or an oil or gas waiver and will obtain only surface title to the land. which otherwise will revert into the hands of private interests, is of utmost importance to all of the people of the State of Utah. Last year on the eve of the first day of July, five hundred cars were parked on the lands in question, each car carried an average of four pepole who were there to enjoy the wonderful fishing of the opening day of the season. Each year more people go to Strawberry valley for fishing than U any place of similar size in Utah, and the valley is an ideal playground for the people and will continue to be so as long as the land is not allowed to be exploited by private interests. The Boy Scout organizations . have used this valley as a summer camping ground for years and find it ideal for that purpose, but once let it become fenced and this use will also end, as well as the fishing privilege. There are in the valley about 64,000 acres; only 8,000 acres of this is actually occupied by the reclamation reservoir, and why. the balance should be turned over to the Strawberry water users association for their own private good is more than we can understand. If the lands in question were neeeded for additional reservoir facilities, nor, body would want to deprive them of the use of the land, but as this is not the case and probably never will be, the people ought to be given their rights and the land not needed for reservoir purposes turned back to the government, who can best administer them for the benefit of the entire peoHEBER BOOSTERS CLUB. ple.

Vivid quotations from Mr. seem to be popular just at and so the Argonaut may readers of Mr. Roosevelts after President Wilsons Prince Max An interesting story is told of the spiders which dwell in the flower of the pitcher plant of India and Australia. This flower is an insect trap. Around its upper edge it is brilliantly colored and sweet with honey. Lower down tfejgy walls are waxy and so smooth mat no insect can gain a hold upon them. The bottom of the pitcher is filled with a liquid containing several acids which possess the power of digesting organic matter. The luckless insects which fall into this liquid are gradually absorbed by the plant. But while most insects carefully avoid this death trap, a par-.- , ticular psecies of spider chooses it as a dwelling place.
