STATE LIKELY TO LOSE
LAND AT FORT LEWIS

Denver Republican.
Early this year Senator Guggenheim
was able TO put through congress n
measure which secured the executive
signature, transferring from the fed
erai government to the state govern.
ment, Fort Lewis school and lands in
the Ute Indian reservation in the
southwestern corner of Colorado, sub.
ject TO certain conditions, which the
state. so far, has declined to fulfll.
This Is an important matter There
are in tho grant 6.360 acres and school
buildings, the latter valued at $50 900
The land is valuable for agricultural
purposes. II Is worth looking after on
the part of the state.
The single requirement from the
state is that a school be maintained
for Indian children. The attendance
at best would be small.
The Guggenheim law reads:
There is hereby granted to the
state of Colorado, upon the terms and
conditions hereinafter named, the prop.
erty known as the Fort Lewis school
including the lands, buildings and fix.
lures pertaining to said school; Pro.
vided, That said lands and buildings
shall be held and maintained by the
state of Colorado as an institution OF
hat la ,.tt
at all times be admitted to such school
free of charge for tuition and on terms
of equality for white pupils; Provided,
further. That this grant shall be effec,
tive at any time before July, 1910, II
before that date the governor OF the
state OF Colorado files an acceptance
thereof with the secretary OF the inte-
rior accepting for said state said prop
erty, upon the terms and conditions
herein prescribed"
A bill passed the state legislature
accepting the grant OF land and school
buildings. but 1t failed to make pro
vision for the maintenance OF school
for Indians until such time as the
state could deal with the whole man
ner in comprehensive manner. The
result was that Governor Shafroth We.
toed the bill and the acceptance OF
this valuable gift hangs fire.
II nothing is done by July the prop.
erty is likely to revert to the federal
government.
The legislature appropriated money
most freely for all kinds OF projects
With the peoples money it undertook
to pay political debts. A 1.-THE OF the
amount appropriated for these debts
would have assured to Colorado a val.
liable school site and land that would
make the school more than self.sup.
porting.
There are numerous uses to which
tie land might be put A good deal
has been said about branch normal
schools In different parts OF Colorado
end here is place given free With
the incoming OF the Southern Pacific
road TO Durango next month that dis.
triot will be made more accessible and

Governor Shafroth is to Issue call
soon after the first OF the year for an
extraordinary session. While this ses.

poses II might be possible for his eI-

all subdued by the Spaniards. 1t would
be astonishing II they were. For more

various other conquering peoples have

struction, but also a substantial way
Of building the house, having two good
back-bones running clear through II. An
other advantage OF a house OF rectangle
shape is that a convenient arrangement
can be obtained on the second floor, plac-
ing a chamber in each corner Of the house,
thus obtaining windows that admit light
and air and giving a view in two dlrec-
tons from two sides OF every room.
1t has been an established custom for
many years to place the bath room over
the kitchen in order to have the plumbing
in one line. In order to do this. however,
1t is sometimes necessary to sacrifice a
bedroom for this purpose, and rather than
do this 1t is best to locate the bath room
elsewhere. The difference in cost between
having the fixtures of the bath room and
the sink in the kitchen on one stack and
having them on separate stacks, compare
tive to the total cost of the house, II is
hardly worth considering, compared with
having the best arrangement of rooms pos
sible. When convenient to do so, however,
there is no doubt but what there IL some
few advantages in having the bath room
over the kitchen.
There are so many plain and somber
looking square houses having little charac-
ter or originality about them that many
prospective builders hesitate I'm having a
home planned rectangle in shape. There
Is no reason why homes so planned should
not have as much distinctive character as
homes planned in other ways. 1t depends
entirely upon the resourcefulness OF the
designer. The horizontal lines of this kin
OF house should be well kept. The cheap
est exterior is the regular six-inch siding.
This is used so much that it is becoming
very m~onotonous. A combination OF other
materials applied to the exterior gives to
it an original and pleasant effect and is
therefore more preferable.
One way in which to break the monotony
of plain walls is to extend a sill corner of
moulding around the house on a line with
the second story window stills. Walls from
sill course down to water table can be
sided or shingled, many rustic effects
being possible with the latter. II sided
below It may be shingied above; and II
shingled below, cement may be used abovS
the sill course. Cement on metal lath may
( be used below the sill course with shingles
above, the idea being to give a pleasing
variety. A house Of this style should al
: ways have a good projection to the roof
l and II brackets in the cornice are properly
E designed and spaced, they will add to tn,

ward the street has the further advantage
OF obtaining a larger front and back yard,
the space on each side of the house being
seldom more h a passage way at best.
Another advantage OF having the broad
OF the house toward the front is that
the entrance can be placed in the center
OF the house, giving a we'll balance ex.
terror and allowing the front corners of the
house to be used as living rooms. When the
entrance and stair hall are placed in The
corner Of the house, the fact is often lost
sight OF that In this manner one of the
most valuabie parts Of the house is sac
rlfloed. for the front hall at best IL merely
a place to remove ones rGps n pass
through occasionally on the way to tbs

When the corners are reserved for z

where they can only obtain a view Of tn,

The board decided to ask the state game
warden TO oversee SEEMING OF carp In the
lake in Levi Carter park, this being on the
request Of Prof J. e. Wigman, who ap-
peared for the Rod and Gun club. The
professor said that the lake ought to be
seined twice a year TO lake out carp and
other fish which are destroying game fish

The Practical Square House
Arthur q. 0laussu. Architect.

All things considered the most practical
home to build on a city lot is a home
planned within a r~ectangIe. More space
can be obtained for a certain amount of
money in a home planned within a rect
angle than any other style. Rooms are
better shape, and more conveniences In
arrangements are also o~btainable. Turning
a corner always adds to the expense of a
house, especially II it requires q break in
the roof, therefore, the fewer corners there
are to a house and the more compact and
regular 1t Is in shape, the less It win cost
TO build. This is especially true when the
foundation is made of concrete. When the
four walls are perfectly straight with but
four corners and no break in the walls for
bays or additions Of any kind, the wood
forms for the concrete foundation are
quickly and cheaply put up. There is very
little cutting in the lumber used for these
forms, which means that there would be
no waste, since all Of the lumber could
be used during the construction OF the
rest OF the house.
a house perfectly BquArA. having SQual
dimensions on all sides. does not look rs
we'll as to have the house OF greater d.
mansions in one direction. relieving IL of
the box-like appearance, which is almost
unavoidable in a perfectly square house.
When the width OF the lot will permit,
/. Is best to make the greatest dimension
across the front. The ancient idea of
stringing the house out In one long row OF
rooms Is neither convenient nor attractive.
Putting the broad side of the house to the
front also has the advantage of making
II appear larger thar It really is. a fact
which always has some influence on a
prospective buyer, While very few people
building their own homes build with the
idea OF selling them, 1t does no harm to
bear these facts In mind. As the family
increases or decreases in size as tho case
may be, It may some day be desirable to
sell and build another home. The increased
social obligations that come upon a young
couple as years go by usually requires, in
time, a home larger than the one they
were contented with earlier IN life. Again
many years later when the young couple
of the home have left It to establish homes
of their own, the home which once just
suited the family's requirements, Is some
times found too great q burden and care
for the old folks. At this time OF life, II
Is usually found desirable to sell the Ole
home and either build or buy q smaller
home In which TO end their days as they
began, In q simple unburdened way. Fol
these reasons Il IL best TO consider thu
future according to the position in which
the prospective h~Ome-builder at presen
finds himself. and when building his HON
that he bear In mind the fact that he ma

about his new building at Seventeenth and
Douglas he will find plenty of encourage
ment. There are as many as ten store
proprietors known who have signified their
desire to rent store space in the new build

the building can accommodate.
A number of applications have been made
for stores in the new City National bank
building and several of the stores in the
Graham Gifford-Ure building at Nineteenth

the tenants nave not been oivulged.

the risk OF making her vain and con

that she is attractive: see that she is

will make her attractive. send her

Washing Brushes.

1t Is best not to put ones heavy
backed silver brush into common use
for the hair. At least not in cities
where the soot-laden atmosphere
leaves coating OF itself on the hair
each day.
This is caught by the bristles of the
brush, which makes 1t necessary to
wash 1t at least twice a week If not
oftener.
This constant washing ruins a brush
that has an expensive back. Therefore
a brush should be used that has I'm
ordinary wooden handle and back with
good stiff bristles TO withstand the
softening action OF water and borax.
