EDISON SUGGESTS
A CANCER CURE

West Orange. N. j.. Sept Thomas
A. Edison, the inventor. has announced
that he has branched out temporarily
into medicine and has made a study of
a cancerous growth which started on
the hand of his assistant, Charles Dal-
ly, after Daily had been burned by
Roentgen rays. The inventor says he
thinks he has hit upon cure for SINH
lar cancers, although he will let the
surgeons and scientific psychologists
work out the problem.
Mr.. Edisons theory is that any can
Ger which begins, as Dally's did. on the
surface, can be cured by the introduce
ton of fresh blood from a healthy sub
ject into the blood of the person af-
fected He asserts that cancer result
ing from burns produced by exposure
to radium is in the same class as that
started by Roentgen rays.
Dally's malady began with a slight
flush on the back of his hand. He has
since lost his arm because of the can
Ger which grew upon it.
Mr. Edison believes that If the treat
ment he now proposes had been applied
in Dally's case in the beginning of the
trouble. Daily might have avoided most
If not all that he has since been forced
TO undergo.

No ST. Louis Building.

There will be no Colorado state
building at the St. Louis exposition.
This was given out from Commission
er-in-Chief Paul Wilson's Office yester-
day. says the Denver News, and al
though Mr.. Wilson himself insists that
no definite action has been taken and
that a building may be built after all,
the other members of the board say
it is out of the question.
The reason is that there is no
money. The members of the Worlds
Fair board are confident now that
there is no chance for them to get the
100000 appropriation passed at the
last session of the Legislature, and
they have just 100000 to pay for the
entire cost of the Colorado exhibit.
And to make matters worse some s19,.
900 of this is in the hands of Mr.. E
Van Rouse and there will probably bl
months OF litigation before it is OBJ
tanned. il it is obtained at all.

TELLURIDE MILLS ARE CLOSED
But MINERS Do NOT STRIKE

Denver, Sept. 2.-The Republican
correspondent at Telluride telegraphs
last night as follows:
''All the union millmen obeycd or
ders of the union and quit work this
morning. The Tom Boy. Liberty Bell,
Columbia and Nellie are all hung up
and at ) O'Clock this afternoon the
foreman of the Liberty Bell mine or
dered the, mine closed.
Some ten or fifteen men arc cndeav-
oripg to work part Of the Tom Boy
mill. to make room for the ore, in
order to keep the mine working.
The old Pandora mill of the Snug

ing and hung up its stamps, but the
foreman, assisted by a small force of
men, is running the new 6O-stamp mill
of the Smuggler. A union committee
called on Manager Bulkcley Wells OF
the Smuggler Union this afternoon
and requested him to close the mill,
but he replied that he and the men
he represented had bought and paid
for the property, owned it, and pro
posed to run it. and requested that
those who had no business there
should keep away from the premises.
The men of the Smuggler cyanide

Land Excluded From Entry.

Through the state land office it has
been learned that a large tract of gov
ernment land in Rout county, on the
line of the MOffat road. has been eX-
cluded from entry. This is said to con-
tain rich coal veins and it is intimated
that there is a scheme to obtain it for
persons Interested
The tract that has been reserved
contains l2,160 acres. 1t lies along the
Iampa and Williams Fork rivers and
is said to contain the richest coal veins
in that section of Colorado. Denver
men have filed upon the property.
which is said to contain veins of coal
from four to eighteen feet in width.
In reserving the land from entry the
only reason that can be given is that
1t is needed for irrigation projects
Those who have gone over the ground
claim that this cannot be the case, be-
cause the ground is hily and broken
A homestead entry can be made on
the land. but this would not lie because
the entry would be subject to the act
of exclusion. If it was shown that the
land was needed for an irrigation en-
terprise. those making homestead en-
try could not hold it. The tract COM
ing under this order of the department
extends from Craig westward to the
Utah line.

MR.. PATTERSON ON
NEEDS OF ALASKA

San Francisco. Sept Senator
Thomas NJ. Patterson OF Colorado ar
rived here Monday from Alaska, on the
way home The senator is a member OF
the Alaskan Commission selected by
the last Senate to visit the northern
territory and report its Legislative
needs. Alaska is a wonderful coun-
try" said Senator Patterson. INSTEAD
Of barren, rock bound territory, worth
less except for mining purposes, we
found a fertile and beautiful land,
wnere vegetables and hardy cereals can
be raised III sufficient quantity to sup
port all the population Alaska Will ever
have AS for mining, | never saw such
magnificent placer mines, and within
few years | expect Alaska to produce
more gold than any other part of the
world
The most urgent need of Alaska is
good roads. There are no highways
in the whole territory with few eX
ceptions. The nature of the surface
soil tundra is spongy, and roads will
have to be built of stone and drainage
litches built alongside.
"A road from valdez TO ukOn, Di-
secting American territory, is now in
course OF construction, and will work
wonders. The government must build
and maintain a good highway system
INTO the interior before Alaska can
reach the development it should.
Another crying need is for law. Ev-
,ry man is law unto himself. and the
administration of justice is woefully
slow. In British Alaska they have good
avs. well administered. but in Ameri-
can possessions lawlessness takes the
place of civil order.

Tiff School of Theology.

The paying off of the debt Of the
University of Denver will make a some
what radical change in the manage
nent of the school. This has been
brought about the separating of the
ilif School of Theology from the uni
Uersity and placing it under an iude-
pendent board of trustees. The change
was condition which Bishop and Mrs.
Warren attached to their gift of $50, 900
toward the university debt, and the
transfer was formally completed Fri
day. Bishop and Mrs. Warren are leav-
Ing tomorrow on their trip to India,
and it is possible that the board will
be named at once in order to have the
affairs of the school carried on. 1t is
not the intention to open it this year,
Or perhaps for some time to come, but
preparations will be made toward that
end and the school opened as soon as it
Is deemed best TO do so.
in making this change" said Bish-
Op Warren last night, we are only
seeking to follow the precedent estab-
lished by the great theological schools
of other denominations. This is the
original design now fully carried out
The board of trustees will be selected
from prominent Methodists. and every
professor must be approved as to his
orthodoxy and be qualified by the board
of bishops.
The plan is one which has long been
discussed by the university board" said
Dr. Frost Craft. There has been some
difference of opinion at times as to the
wisdom of the plan, but never any fric
lion. Some members of the board,
among them Chancellor Buchtel
thought the university was too small a
school to attempt to make the distinc
ton. but they are now quite reconciled
to the idea.
Under the new rule the Iliff School
of Theology will be separate institu
ton, and yet as much part of the uni
vHsSty as the law school or any other
department The same thing obtains
at Princeton. the Northwestern univer
sity, and in fact in nearly all the larg-
er institutions of learning"

ing the board, which will perpetuate
itself.

Shortage of Funds Certain.

The belief that the state will not
be able to pay many of the appropria-
tious made by the last Legislature
grows with the return of the abstracts
of the assessors of the different cOun-
ties of the state. Up to yesterday,
says the Denver Republican of August
2sth, forty-one counties had been heard
from. The decrease in the assessed
valuation of the states based on the
reports that have already been re-
Ceived by the state auditor will be
about S56,0OO,O 900. This is an estimate
and Governor Peabody says nothing
can be said definitely concerning the
matter until all of the counties have
reported. The Indications at the pres
ent time show that the state will be
short at least $40i 900 for the two
years of the present administration.
il has been estimated by Auditor
Holmberg that even if the State Board
of Equalization were to raise the as
sessed valuation of the railroads of
the state over ten per cent. there
would not then be enough to pay all
the appropriations made by the last
Legislature.
The state can look only to the in
hcritance tax OF the Stratton estate.
If that We're wholly collected all of the
appropriations could be paid But
there is every prospect that the STRAIT
ton case will be tied up in the courts
for many years.
All assessors must file their alb
stracts with the state auditor before
the middle of next month.
What the state will do to make up
the deficit is not known as Governor
Peabody yesterday refused to state
anything concerning the situation I'M
til it was more definite. 1t is not
likely that the banks Of the state nor
private individuals will loan .ne state
any money as they had an experience
of that sort in the Thomas administra.

Railroads File Protests.

Nine more of the railroads of the
state filed their protests August Gath
against the assessed valuation of their
property by the county assessors
with the State Board of Equalization.
The roGds for the most part are parts
of the Rio Grande system of railroads,
and the grounds alleged for the pro-
tests are mainly the lack of uniform
ity in the assessments through the
different counties of the state and the
general lack Of uniformity all over
the state.

were the Denver 4 Rio Grande, the
