Nebraska official warns losses on state school lands
Superintendent Roy C. Gates told the 62nd annual Nebraska State Teachers association meeting that the state loses about 718 dollars yearly on unsold school lands and could gain up to 1,040,000 dollars annually if lands valued at 20 million were sold and invested. He argued lands are undervalued and urged sale to fund equal education opportunities. An amendment offering life membership for teachers passed.

Boulder dam bill sidetracked to give post office right of way
Washington December 13 The senate shifted focus from the Boulder dam by pausing it to tackle the treasury post office appropriation bill. Nine appropriation measures loom this short session as the house pushes treasury post office supply and interior bills while the senate deals with farm relief and tariff talk. A Bratton compromise fixes California’s share at 4.4 million acre feet, Arizona gains Gila river exemption, and questions on water power leases are debated as Senate and House schedules press ahead with confirmations and patronage discussions.

San Francisco Woman Loses Estate Claim To New York Millions
Mrs. Ella Miller of San Francisco failed to secure a share of a New Yorker's estate after a New York federal court denied her claim. She had previously received $5,000 from the Nebraska estate of John Emerick and hoped for up to half a million from the New York inheritance related to the Emerick lineage. The ruling follows her earlier birth certificate claim cited in Sidney's Union Pacific round house during an Indian uprising.
