WINTER SONG.

Sing a song of winter
Air so crisp and clear!
Sunshine in the distance
And Joy bells ringing near,
Snowflakes lightly falling
To warm the buds asleep,
Then thaw and next tramp
Through mud that's two feet deep.
Sing song of winter
When the frost is white
And the tonsllitis germ
Seeks you day and night!
When the wind is signing
Sadly through the trees:
Your furnace isn't working
And the water pipes will freezel"
Sing song of winter
Sing ii anyway;
You've got to have your troubles,
There are debts that life must pay,
So set 'em to n jingle
AS you laugh at fate perverse.
Sing song of winter
And be glad it isn't worse,

RESTORING THE
LANDS TO ENTRY

This afternoon, when shown the
dispatch appearing on the front page
of The Sentinel today concerning the
restoration to settlement and entry
of 10000 acres of land in the Mont
rose land district, which the dispatch
says had been withdrawn for the
benefit of the Grand Valley project, -
Secretary Aupperle of the Grand Val
ley Water Users Association stated
that apparently mistake had been
made in sending out the dispatch. He
is certain that the land restored to
entry is that which was withdrawn
several years ago for the benefit OF
the great Uncompahgre Valley pro-
ject: and. therefore, the dispatch
should have read for the benefit of
the Uncompahgre Valley project"
Mr.. Aupperle states that this is a
most important action. and means
that now. as the great Gunnison Tun-
mel project is nearly done, the vast
territory of lands affected are re-
stored to public entry, and all of the
lands that were not filed upon before
the lands were withdrawn may be
filed upon in the regular way in
March or April.
The same plan used by the gov
ernment on the Gunnison Tunnel
project was followed and is being
followed on our High Line canal"
said Mr.. Aupperle. "A good while
ago. it will be remembered, the gov
ernment announced the withdrawal
from entry or settlement all lands
under the High Line Canal project
Since then no entries have been
made. This action also protects
those who had already filed on High
Line lands from contest. For many
reasons, this withdrawal is beneficial
to the government and to the honest
homesteader. AS done on the Gun
nison Tunnel project today, and has
been done on many other projects,
about the time the High Line project
is completed and after the farm unit
has been established. the lands will
doubtless again be opened to settle
ment and entry"

CoNFEsSES TO BRUTAL MURDER
[ speclal to INC sentinel. !

Kansas City. Jan. 5.-After MAX
ing a detailed false confession, caus-
ing one innocent man to be arrested
on the charge of murder, and a man
and woman TO be held for investiga-
ton. Ward Mower of Falls City, Neb.,
confessed to the police of Kansas
City, Kan. that he alone murdered
Neil McCoig, also of Falls City. Dec.
"a.
McCoig's body, covered with cuts
and bruises and bearing one bullet
wound, was found in the outskirts
of Kansas City, Kan. McCoig was
formerly restaurant man of Falls
City, and Mower. who was cook d,
had previously worked for him.
The murder was a singularly bru-
tai one. Mower confessed that he
had beaten McCoig with piece of
railroad iron and an iron hook until
he was insensible. Death being TOO
slow, Mower said he shot the man,
ending his life.
Fear that he would be proven the
purloiner of notes he had stolen from
McCoig was his reason for killing the
man, Mower says. McCoig accused
Mower of taking the papers Mower
denied the charge and Immediately
laid plans for the murder. He in
yeigled his victim to a lonely spot in
the railroad yard district and killed
him. Mower denies he got any money
from McCoig's person.
All those who were taken into Gus
tody as result of Mowers original
confession were released.

FIFTEEN OUNCE
SCALES FOUND
BY INSPECTOR

Henry Toft, sealer of weights and
measures, has met new difficulty
with which he has to contend In in
sDecting and sealing scales and
weights. Numerous store keepers,
whose scales have shown deficiency
of one, two and sometimes three
ounces. refuse to right the balance,
claiming that customers are never
content in receiving what is appar-
emily only pound, but demand an
extra portion, a little for good
measure as it were. In placing on
the scales, the extra portion, the GUS
toner receives the full pound, but
believes he is receiving the extra
ounce or two.
The sealer says several merchants
refused to even the balance and he
