MoFFAT's LATEST MOVE.
Buys Tract of State Land at Entrance
of Gore Canon.

Denver, May 24.-The Republican
this morning says: While d. H. MCfat
and William G. Evans were at Wash
ington calling on the President Mon
day afternoon to ask that he investi-
gate the action of the reclamation bu-
reau in interfering with the use OF
Gore canon by the Moffat road. ths
real battle was being fought in Denver.
AS a result of Mondays action, the
State Land Board, in a fifteen-minutes'
session at noon yesterday, carried out
one of the prettiest coups ever known
in the history of railroad building,
which Is rich with stories of attempts
to block progress such as this Gore
canon affair has BEEN
The result of this action of the land
board is that Mr.. Moffat holds the key
of the situation at the canon. He may
never be permitted to build his road
through the natural opening, but the
government will not be able to build
its dam at the mouth of the canon
either.
On Monday William G.. Smith, right
of way agent of the Denver North
western G. Pacific railroad, made ap-
plication to Register Mark Woodruff,
for the purchase of a tract of land 400
feet wide and 1877 feet long, through
the southeast quarter of section %,
township 1 north, range 81 west. This
land is at the eastern entrance to Gore
canon and belonged to the State Land
Board. Taking the natural conditions
into consideration. it is the place
where the reclamation engineers must
place the proposed dam of any reser-
voir that may be constructed there.
Not moment was lost and the land
board was summoned yesterday morn
ing. All were present excepting Miss
Craig, who was out Of the city. and in
a very few minutes they had approved
a sale of the land, less than twenty
acres, to the railroad at a price of
$3.50 an acre. The total amount is
$65. In a few minutes more the
money had been paid and a deed
passed to the company. Thus is any
attempt at getting out an injunction or
other delay rendered futile.
BY this coup the railroad now owns
both ends of the canon, having pur-
chased the western end a year ago.
in the canon the government owns
the land largely.

MRS. lIVERMQRE DEAD
CELEBRATED WOMAN REFoRMER

One of the First Great Woman Writers
and Lecturers-Notcd for Her
Work in the Civil War.
Melrose, Mass, May 24.-Mrs. Mary
A. Livermore, the well-known writer
and reformer, died at her home here
yesterday. Bronchitis and a weak
heart fastened the end.

Boston December 10, 1921. Her
maiden name was Rice. She was noted
in childhood for resolution and restless
activity, being foremost in all health
full outdoor sports and also remarkable
for proficiency in her studies. She was

where organizing sanitary aid socie-
ties. In the following December she
attended a countil of the National Sani-
tary Commission at Washington, and
the next spring was ordered to make
tour of the hospitals and military posts
on the Mississippi. At this time sani-
tary supplies were low, and the most
serious results at the Vicksburg camps
were feared, but by persistent appeals,
by circulars and by untiring persist
ence and enthusiasm, she secured I'M
mediate relief.
She also took an active part in the
organization of the great Northwestern
Sanitary Fair at Chicago in 1868, from
which nearly 100000 was secured for
the purposes of the association, and

turers who were most in demand and
that commanded the largest fees, the
J other three being men. For years she
spoke five nights in the week Tor nve
months in the year, travelling 25,OOo
miles annually.
Among her more popular lectures
are: What Shall We Do With Our

SALTED BULLETS FOR

: According to the Laramie ReIubl,-
can, County Clerk Dayton, in speaking
of the shooting c~apacity of a certain
gun in Laramie, is said to have re,
marked that a hunter at one time kill
ed an elk with the gun in question at
a distance So great that before he
could reach the carcass, the meat had
spoiled. says the Centennial Post. A

Hon. Clarence b. Richardson of Lar

and comprehensive plan for the CO
operative development OF industries in
Cheyenne and vicinity. 1t involves the
cooperation of perhaps one thousand
people and is made so easy it is be
lieved by these who have given it ex
animation that 1t will succeed. Mr.
Richardson's plan not only contem'
plates the building cf local manulac
tories, but also the loaning OF capital
at a reasonable rate of interest to those
who are capable and willing to launch
in the manufacturing business. The
enterprise will be watched with anx
ious eyes. The Republican will refer
to 1t again when it is detailed to the

out the firing of a single gun. 1t has
set a practical example to the entire
