LAND OFFICES PROTEST.
Colorado Officials Object to Proposed
Consolidation.

Washington, May I'm response to
a call for reasons why the land offices
at Lamar and Del Norte should not be
consolidated with the land office at
Pueblo. Commissioner Richards of the
General Land Office to-day received
letters from the officers of both Offices,
stating reasons why. in their opinion,
the proposed consolidation should not
be carried into effect.
The Del Norte officials in their letter
say that consolidation of Del Norte will
work great hardship on the public,
as it would compel those having busi-
ness before the land Office to travel
over 800 miles and at considerable ex-
pense. 1t is the opinion of the Off
cials that the business of the Del
Norte office will be larger during the
coming fiscal year than during the
past. Business commenced to increase
during April and up to the 25th of the
month the receipts were $1,000.
1t is expected by the local officials
that the action of the State Legisla-
ture in appropriating funds for sur
veys of reservoirs and irrigation enter
prises has already encouraged settlers
to file on government lands IN this dis
trict. 1t was pointed out that the COM
missioner's letter contained an error
as to the expenses for the past nine
months. These were $2063 instead of
$2.403. as stated in the letter. The
actual expenses were less than one
third of the receipts. consequently.
under a strict construction of the rule
the Office was not in the class liable
to consolidation.
Officials of the Lanilr land office
write that the Lamar district contains
over 100000 acres of unappropriated
land and that 100000 acres will be
added to this amount when cancella-
tion of entries now under way shall
be completed One reason given for
the recent falling Off in receipts is that
the introduction of the Brooks $40
acre homestead bill operated against
entries. Parties held off from making
entries and final proofs in the hope Of
getting the benefit of enlarged priv
ileges contemplated by the passage OF
the bill.
The officials state that the prospects
are encouraging for considerable in
crease in business and there Is much
greater need for the retention OF the
ofiice at this time than for many years
past.

Supreme Court Advances Cases.

Denver. May -Four cases of pub
lie concern were advanced on the Col
orado Supreme Court docket yesterday.

times recently. and has declined to do
30 in q number of instances. II denied
the application to advance the audi
torium case at one time. but appar-
emily has decided that II is OF sufilcien,

The advancing CT these cases means

representing all military organizations
managed to work with remarkable ef-

The valley in which the head

tion Of Japanese scenery.
An altar with tablet in memory of
the army's dead was erected on the

the altar was a wide avenue through a
grove of trees studded with artificial
cherry blossoms and crossed by tri-
umphal arches. Other features of the
decoration were an equestrian statue,
representing General Kuroki, and re-
production of the Yalu battlefield.
Shinto Buddhist services in memory of
the dead soldiers were held at the
altar, with troops massed at the foot
of the hill.
Race, tracks, theaters, and pro-
fusion of unique decorations were laid
out on the plain. Several hundred Of
ficers lunched at tables spread under
the trees, and amusements which fol-
lowed included procession represent

Protesting Against Rate Reduction.

Atlanta, Ga.-The recent PROPOSE
ton OF ]. Pope Brown. Chairman of
the Georgia Railroad commission, to
reduce the passenger rate in Georgia
from three to two cents per mile was
protested against by the Brotherhood
of Locomotive Engineers. the Order
Of Railway Conductors, and unions OF
the blacksmiths, machinists and teieg-
raphers, boilermakers, railway train
men. carpenters and joiners, clerks
and car men. These organizations en-
ployed an attorney especially to rep
resent them, who urged that such
reduction would work against the
prosperity Of the state and lead to
reduction in the number of railroad
employees. as well as OF their wages.
The Travellers Protective Association
s,so protested that a reduction. as
proposed. would result in fewer trains
and poorer service.

Much evidence of a deeply interest
ing, though sometimes technical char
acter, was given by the medical men.
One point Of interest brought ont in
explanation of the fact that the skull,
was opened on the right side, that the
nerves controlling one side Of the body
cross from the opposite of the brain,
while the nerves controlling the facial
musles do not. 1t was further brought
out that the injury, though on the

ing the brains against the walls of the
