Land Excluded From Entry.

Through the state land office 1t has
been learned that 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 1t for
persons interested.
The tract that has been reserved
contains IL. 160 acres. 1t lies along the
Yampa 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 hilly 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 II was shown that the
land was needed for an irrigation en-
terprise, those making homestead en-
try could not hold 1t. The tract com
ing under this order OF the department
extends from Craig westward to the
Utah line.

LIPTON'S YACHT
AGAIN OUTSAILED

New York. Sept. Again yester-
day the beautiful cup defender Reli-
ance failed to register her third vic
tory over Liptons challenger because
the wind died to nothing and the time
limit of five and one-half hours ex-
pired before she could reach me finish
line
Her margin was approximately the
same as Thursday last She was less
than half a mile from the finish when
the gun sounded. The Shamrock III.
was a faint blurr on the horizon. fully
two and half miles. astern.
The Reliance's failure to score wa-
the more exasperating because her ul-
innate triumph is now conceded. even
by Sir Thomas himself, to be simply
n formality. The superiority of the
Herreshoff boat in any kind of wealth
er is acknowledged by the yachting
critics of both sides of the Atlantic,
and yesterdays fluke only prolongs
the agony of the contest that has al
ready been decided.
The waning interest in the yacht
racing was strikingly illustrated by
the size of the observation fleet, If
the ships which went down to the
ocean race course yesterday could be
dignifed by such title. Outside OF
the revenue cutters, which patrolled
the course, 1t consisted of half a doz-
en- tugs and score of steam yachts.

EDISON SUGGESTS
A CANCER CURE

West Orange. N. j.. Sept. 1.-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 Dali
ly. after Daily had been burned by
Roentgen rays The inventor says he
thinks he has hit upon a 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 introduc-
tion 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 n 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
IL not all that he has since been forced
to undergo.
The inventor says he believes there
are in the human body cells which are
capable of movement and whose sole
function is TO restore shattered and in
jured tissue. Mr.. Edison points out
that in the case of a cut. wound or even
an ordinary burn. nature. through the
medium of these cells, sets to work to
restore normal conditions, and If no
outside influence interferes. succeeds.

to file protest against the assessment
of its properties in the state with the
State Board of Equalization. 1t is al

that this amount ought to be reduced

some of its lines in the state are not
worth more than $40 or sl2 and that 1t
is not right that they be assessed at
such high valuation.

ceived number of photographs from

HAIL STORM AT coLuMBIANA
The Worst That Has Ever Visited
 That Town.

Columbiana, Ala, April 20.-(Special. - hail storm visited this city and county yesterday evening about 6:30 o'clock, and 1t was the most serious ever witnessed here. It lasted for forty minutes or more, all told, but for twentc-six minutes of this time 1t was simply awful.
 The heavens secmel to have opened, and to be pouring out hailstones so thick that the sound on ehe roofs of the houses was deafening The hail lay on the ground several inches deep and especially so In places so formed as to admit of d drift
 The hailstones or pellets, varied. from the size of a bucxsn0t to that of a goose egg and the shape which predominated was flat and smooth, on one Side and oval and rough or rugged on the other looking, probably, more in he shape of an unfinished or carelessly made biscuit than anything else one could liken them to. Others had assumed the form of a roughly shaped Irish potato. Some of the pellets were measured. and were more than two inches in diameter through the thinnest portion.
 1ncalculable damage was done by the falling hail. Shingles were badly split and broken on the roofs of the houses, the hail falling with such force as to knock great holes through the corrogated tin roofing, and shingled roofing on the houses, glass windows and skylights were demolished. Trees were nearly literally stripped of their fruit and foliage, and gardens were ruined.
