new Land OFFICE
BLANK FOR SALE
OF ISOLATED LANDS

Another change has been made by
the land department in the manner.
OF making application for sale Of iso,.
lated or disconnected tracts o fland.
Until the Goth inst. parties making APP
plication to have isolated tracts adj
vertised and sold were obliged to APP
pear in person with two witnesses
before the U. S. land Office. Now this
is changed and parties may appear
before the nearest officer having seal
and authorized to administer oaths
in the county or land district in
which the tracts described in the APP
plications are situated.
The Bismarck Tribune has just put
in a stock of the blanks required in
making application for sale Of isolat-
ed tracts (No. 643) printed as re-
quired by the government correct
as to size, type, form, spacing, etc.

AS there will be many applications
made hereafter, all lawyers, clerks Of

engaged in land Office practice will
need a quantity and the right kind
which can be had of the Bismarck
Tribune.

TO SAVE La BAHIA MISSION.

Movement on Foot For State to Buy
Historic Texas Building.
The ancient La Bahia mission build
ing, situated near Goliad, Tex, is to
be rehabilitated and preserved if the
movement succeeds which has been
started among patriotic Texans with
those purposes in view, says the Kan
sas City Star. In this ancient build
ing on May {, 1886, 300 men under
command of Colonel Fannin were
massacred by large force of Mexi-
cans at Santa Annals orders. The
walls of the church were stained with
the blood of the men who were striv-
ing to gain their country's liberty from
Mexico. The news of this massacre
aroused the Texans and gave them the
frenZied courage which soon after
ward resulted in the overwhelming de-
feat Of Santa Annals army and cap
ture of the Mexican commander, whose
life was saved only through the timely
interference Of General Sam Houston.
In all the years that have passed
since that massacre, during the period
that Texas was republic and since
she became a state, the historic edi-
flee has remained uncared for except
for such little attention as was shown
it by the few poor but devout Mexican
worshipers who gathered at its altar
on Sundays and the various saints
days.
The movement now on foot seeks to
have the state purchase La Bahia mis-
sion from those who claim title to it
and to permit it to be cared for by the
Daughters of the Texas Republic, as
the historic Alamo building now is.
Owing to it's remote location compare
lively few people visit La Bahia mis-
sion. Those who enter the building
first must pay fee to the Mexican
who is in charge of the place. The in
terror of the mission edifice is much
the same as it was when the massacre
left the walls despatched with blood
more than seventy years ago..

Admiral Dewey's Birthday.

Washington. Admiral George
Dewey was seventy years old Thurs
day. He is in splendid health and
robust in physique.
Among his callers were number OF
those who attended the admiraps birth
day dinner last week, which was ad-
vanced in date because President
Roosevelt expected to be in Pine Knot,
Va, today. These circumstances re-
called happy toast which the Presi-
dent prepared when they drank to the
health of the admiral. 1t follows:
"To the man who has done more for
and reflected greater glory on America
than any other man now living"
The toast was met with hearty re-
sponse from those surrounding the ad-
miral's table.
At the meeting of the Naval Relief
Association the admiral was presented
with two silver ink wells. The health
of the admiral was drunk from a de-
canter, containing Madeira wine of the
vintage OF 1S47. The decanter was
formerly the property of George Wash
ington, and Surgeon General Van
Reypen, who made the presentation.
said /; was eminently fitting that the
health "of the other George. whom we
all love-" should be drunk from the
same decanter.

LAND FRAUD SUITS FAIL.
Judge Lewis ouashes Indictments In
United States Court.

Denver.-Judge Robert e. Lewis
States Court Tuesday which will have
the effect OF stopping coal and timber
land fraud investigations in Colorado,
and probably throughout the entire
West, II sustained by the United
States Supreme Court II is the most
decisive check that has yet been
placed upon the government policy OF
conducting gigantic land fraud inves-
legations throughout the West under
the Department of Justice.
Judge Lewis quashed the fndict-
ments against Alexander T. Sullen-
berger, Pagoso Springs; Charles d.
McPhee, Denver; John J. McGinnity.
Denver; Edgar NJ. Biggs, Denver;
James s. Hatcher, Pagosa Springs;
Charles II. Freeman, Durango; Ellis
M. Hampton, Pagosa Springs; e. X.
Caldwell, Pagosa Springs Eudolphus
NJ. Taylor, Pagosa Springs, and Rob-
ert E. Sloan, Pagosa Springs, charg-
ing them with conspiring to defraud
the government of valuable timber
lands.
In handing down his opinions Judge
Lewis intimated from the bench and
from his written opinions that he
would also quash the coal fraud inves-
legations.
Two questions of great Importance
are decided. One is that contracts
for the transferral of timber lands af-
ter application has been made for the
requirement are legal contracts and
hence cannot be of criminal nature.
The coal land laws even permits
greater latitude than this, as there is
no federal law prohibiting two parties
from contracting for the requirement
of coal land. although the party to
file has not thought of doing SO up to
the time of the contract.
The second question settled is that
the rules made to govern the trans
ferral of coal and timber lands by the
land Office at Washington are worth
less when II comes to trying to estab-
lish offenses which may be criminally
prosecuted. The rules may apply in
civil cases, according to Judge Lewis,
but Congress is the law making body
and the land office cannot create
criminal laws by itself.
Although left with hardly a leg
upon which to stand, the Department
of Justice officers, who have been
legged frauds, say they will appeal the
case tc the United States Supreme
Court at once. Should they not do
SO, the Investigations would have to
cease.

To Facilitate Land Entries.

Grand Junction.-One of the most
important changes in the land filing
laws made under the present admins
tration is announced in circular
received here from R. A. Ballinger,
commissioner of the General Land Of
fee. The circular states that after
March /, 1908, the present forms for
all land entries will be done away
with and that instead of having six or
seven forms, only one will be used,
this being a consolidation of alp the
old forms. This action of the govern.
ment cuts out much red tape which
has long been considered unnecessary
and expensive.

Turbine Gas Engine.

New York.-A Herald correspond
ent at Fort Wayne, Ind, telegraphs
that Franz Burger, a well known local
inventor. has patented small turbine
gas engine which, it is said will rev.
olutionize motive power for wsrships.
Mr. Nixon. the ship-builder. is now in
correspondence with Burger relative
to his patent. 1t is said that with
Burgers invention a warship can at
tain a speed of sixty knots an hour.
Another thing in its favor is its very
small size. doing away with the waste
of room required in the present sys-
tom of boilers and reservoirs.
The attention of shipbuilders has
been aroused by his invention. Mr..
Burger is an inventive genius and has
patented many things which have
done a great deal toward modernizing
the mechanical world.

Aiamosa Depot Burned.

Denver.-A Republican special from
Alamosa Wednesday night says: The
Rio Gran1e freight and passenger de-
pot and the transfer p latform were
burned this afternoon, the less being
$4,000.
The origin of the fire Is unknown, but
1t started in the east end OF the freight
depot, when all employees were at their
Christmas dinners. The flames were
well under way before discovered and
because Of the low pressure of city wa
ter the firemen could do little to check
them. Most of the baggage was saved,
but nearly all freight in the freight
house was destroyed. A switch engine
pulled a string of cars near the depot
out of reach of the flames.
1t IL reported that the company will
replace the burned building, which was
a frame structure, with a much more
costly depot, containing lunch coun-
ter and other modern improvements.
There was some insurance on the
building. Temporary headquarters are
now in hay warehouse near the
burned depot.

the first to be identified with the stock

Goodwin was seventy-seven years
old and until month before his death

Probably no man living this side of the
Mississippi had more varied life than
Goodwin, who was for five years mas

were most dangerous.
Goodwin had headquarters in Pueblo
when 1t was merely fur trading post
