Oklahoma editor’s price scale mocks social standings

Land Dispute Delays Idaho Timber Lands Claims
United States Land Commissioner Binger Hermann writes to Surveyor General Perrault halting state filings on lands under federal grants. He seeks a full statement of the state's entitlements, existing holdings, and original grants to justify further action. The move appears tied to probes into alleged timber land fraud by the Weyerhaeuser syndicate and Northern Pacific in northern Idaho. The Idaho land board pushes to secure prime timber tracts for the state and its schools, while critics warn of interest conflicts.
