CARROLL Lawyer with West McHenry State Bank Every Wednesday Phae 4 McHenry, Illinois HERMAN J. SCHAEFER Persian Priest Takes Law Into Own Hands Teheran, Persia.--Persian law was upheld by a Mohammedan mullah, or priest, recently when the authorities hesitated to enforce it for fear their political position would be prejudiced with the rich and influential class. A relative of a powerful citisen of Hamadan stabbed to death s poor man with a dependent family, and, making no attempt to escape, entered prison with the confident belief he wofild be freed, or his punishment would be negligible. The wife of the slain man insisted on his execution and refused every approach made to her, according to Koranic law, to pardon the murderer. Finding her appeals to the authorities futile, she asked the help of a well-known mullah of the city. Since the governor of the city took no active steps to punish the slayer, the mullah proceeded to the prison, and with a cutlass he had hidden In his garment beheaded the murderer. No action was taken by the city au thorities, who were probably relieved to see the responsibility averted^Erom their heads. That Governor Emmerson plans to go to Washington, probably following the regular December session of congress, to seek federal aid for completion of the Illinois waterway, was announced In Chicago following the governor's Armistice day visit The state Is limited by law to the $20,000,000 already expended, and $5,000,000 more will be required to completev the project. That the "Buy Illinois Coal" campaign, favored by the present state administration, Is producing results, is shown by an increase of several mil lions of tons of coal mined In Illinois thus far this year, as cbmpared with the same period last year. The fig ?u*es have been complied by the research department of Illinois Chamber of Commerce, and checked with reports of the niinois coal bureau. Goal mines in Illinois produced 06, 948.100 tons of soft coal last year, the Federal Bureau of Mines has announced..

Poison liquor killed 421 Illinolsans last year, sccordlng to the snnouncement of Dr. Andy Hall, state health director, wbo pointed out that deaths from alcoholism increased 10 per cent during the period. The total for the state Is second only to that of 193^ and higher than that of any other year. "Besides the 421 deaths attrib uted directly to alcohol," Doctor Hall said, "661 fatalities were charged agaiust cirrhosis of the liver, a conditloh frequently brought about by too much strong drink." While the number of fatalities from alcoholism over the entire state for the year Is on the upgrade, the number of such fatalities In Chicago was decreased by 27 per cent during the year. "Altogether," declared Doctor Hall, "the mortality records make a bad case for illicit liquor and the figures for down-state are by no means flattering to native pride." The total value of public school property in Illinois has increased from j!154,619,859 In 1918 to $385,032,007 in 1928, a boost of $230,112,148 during the decade, according to figures given out by Francis G.

' Otis F. Glenn, senator from Illinois, h»f recently filled speaking engagements at Newport, R. I., on the occasion of a bridge dedication; on the program of the Chicago Lodge of Elks. Armistice day at Soldier Field; and at a banquet at Chester, Pa. Senator Glenn is popu'ar as an after-dinner npeaker In Washington circles. Washington--The disappearance of an airplane in New Mexico, and the four-day search before its wrecked remains were found, emphasize the fact that In the heart of the United States are uninhabited areas, some even unseen for long periods by the eye of mai^ A bulletin from the Washington, D. C. headquarters of the National Geographic society deals with some of these blank spots on the map of the United States. "Uncle Sam and his states have taken fairly complete stock in the East," says the bulletin. "Surveying Instruments came over with the early colonists and were put to Immediate use. Since those early days lines of some sort have been run over almost every square mile of territory east of the Mississippi river. "But although the eastern .states have been rather thoroughly Surveyed and are on the whole heavily populated, they are not free from Isolated areas. In the forests of north central Maine extensive regions, for many months of the year, still know only the hunter and the trapper. In certain sections of the high Appalachians live families of isolated mountaineers whose domains are seldom visited by outsiders. The only actual blank spots In the eastern United States, however, are in the swamp regions of southern Florida. There are relatively large tracts that have not been surveyed or mapped. Large Blank Spots. It ts only after the Mississippi river has been crossed, going westward, that the extensive blank spots appear. Portions of northeastern Minnesota are virtual wildernesses; but' the areas are not great; and, as in the remote sections of Maine, hunters and trappers traverse the country. The bad lands of southwestern South Dakota form a sizable area, largely barren, in which only a handful of people live; and similar areas are found In northern Nebraska, and eastern Wyoming and Montana. "All along the Rocky mountains from Canada Into New Mexico are uninhabited and practically Inaccessible mountain fastnesses. In Texas there are still unfamiliar areas in the 'Big Qend' region, close to the Mexican border, where the Rio Grande river makes a loop far to the south. "In all this country, however, as Is noticeable by reference to a large scale map, no. very large areas are free from what the mapmaker calls 'culture marks'; trails, roads, highways, railways, power lines, dams, canals, flumes, factories, villages, towns, and cities--the evidences that man has Invaded and taken for bis own much of the territory. "The really remote region^, untouched by man, can be tested by this matter of map making.' In the eastern states maps show railways and highways so close together that they form a fine-meshed network over the entire country. In the first tier of states west of the Mississippi river this network Is still closely spaced; but farther to the west the lines become fewer and the unlined spaces greater. In the mountain and Intermountain states are the largest areas uncrossed by Vulture lines.' "Agnln the story Is told by the maps showing the township surveys of the United States general land office. These square subdivisions have been laid out In genera! over the surface of all the states west of the Mississippi except Texas. Texas has been excepted becavse none of that state's area was owned by the United States before it entered the Union, and all public lands were specifically retained by the state. Big Blank Areas, i "Only a few relatively smaH desert snd mountain spaces In New Mexico have not been divided into townships by land office surveys. But farther west large spaces appear on the map free from these squares. One of the l a r g e s t of t h e b l a n k s p o t s s h o w ' s u f ' in southwestern Arizona north of the diagonal line that marks the Mexico- Arizona boundary from the 111th meridian .vestward to the Colorado river. The International boundary commis slon has surveyed the actual boundary and an adjoining strip two miles wide; but to the north lies a region nearly 200 miles from east to west and from 20 to 50 tulles wide that has not been mapped. "This is one of the most conspicuous of the blank spots on the map of the United States. Other relatively un known regions of considerable size (aside from Alaska, where there are extensive urexplored tracts) lie In northwestern Arizona, north of the Grand Canyon; in southern Nevada and eastern California, along the boundary between the two states; in Utah and southwest of Great Salt Lake, and in soutlieastern Utah. The latter region was explored to 1924 by an expedition of the National Geographic society which found an area of hundreds of square miles consisting of deeply eroded clay, shale and sandstone, with the sparsest of vegetation. Throughout BD extensive area the explorers found not a single human Inhabitant and very few animals and birds. "The United States has literally thousands of Isolated spirts of small extent in wtlch an airplane might crash and its wreckage remain unfound for weeks. But the isolation of most of these places Is relative. Many are only a short distance from the beaten paths- It Is significant that Mount Taylcr, on which the recent crash occurred, lb only ten miles from a transcontinental railway and an improved highway* and is plainly visible from both. It is in a region that has been well mapped and is part of a forest reserve that is frequently patrolled. If a plane should crash In one of the real blank spots of the United States, Its fate might remain unknown for months."
