II have given this matter care

cluded that the order of April 25,
1907, cannot propsrly be modified,
in view Of the public Interests in

While these two etatements seem
to be contradictory, the statement
that Each case will be considered

move the time limit altogether;
yet, inasmuch - the Honorable
Secretary refuses 10 so modify the
order of April Is, 1907, as to OK
clnde Colorado from it's operation,
he may again invoke the terms of
