 -Gura's Novelties Not We'll Chosen -"Mscbeth" Onco More a Theme.

The season of the Gura Opera com pany opened in Berlin with q repre- sentation of Die Meistersinger," with Anton Van Rooy and William Miller in the leading roles. William Miller is to be first tenor at Vienna after the first of the year. The Gura per formances of the Wagner opera aroused little interest and the small attendance for the representation of "Lohengrin" has caused discussion as to the loss of public interest in this work It is said that the opera of the Grail Knight now has less in- terest for the operagoers of Germany than any other in the Wagner reper- toire.
 The Nibelungen series given at the New Royal opera house brought out the opinion that these summer opera seasons were much better adapted to the exploitation of great virtuoso sing CTS such as those who formerly ap- peared than to the production of the Wagner works that require the forces of a permanent theater. It was in the novelties selected for this under taking, however. that Herman Gura seems to have been most unfortunate The first was the opera founded by Heinrich Zoellner on Zola's 'Le De- bacle" and first produced fifteen years ago. and the second Richard Wagner's Der Kobold," which was received with bs little enthusiasm

ORIGINAL ENTRYMEN FINALLY
WIN OUT IN THE FAMOUS
CONTEST OVER THE RED
LANDS CLAIMS HERE.
Continued from page one.l

The Associated Press carries no
announcement concerning the decis-
ion but as the decision was of more
local than general importance this is
not surprising. Mai. Laey's message
may be accepted as authoritative as
he is in Washington at this time.
The decision of the secretary of the
interior is final, unless the govern
ment itself should again reopen the
case. However the contestants, the
persons who lost out, have one re-
course. They may make application
to the secretary of the interior to
review the case, in other words to
grant rehearing or to use common
court terms, to give a new trial of
the case.
There is no appeal from the decis-
ion Of the secretary of the depart
ment of the interior, in cases of this
nature.
In August. 1897, The Sentinel
made the first announcement of the
fact that a special agent. Mr. Kelly.
of the government had come here,
had made investigations and had fill
ed charges to the effect that the Of
ficers of the Redlands Irrigation &
Il pNA4 NoLlHdAAN WHICH DullI lIt DIG
canal and power plant just across the
river, south and west of this city, had
entered into a conspiracy to defraud
the government out of much of the
lands by having an agreement with a
large number of the entrymen where
by these entrymen were to turn a
large portion of their claims over to
the company as soon as the entrymen
had do
created a great sensation here.
Then followed the announcement
that the claims of these original en-
trymen had been contested by we'll
known local people. Then began the
battle over the contests in the land
office at Montrose, with a brilliant
array Of legal talent on each side.
The filing of the contests, the details
of the charges against the company.
the bitter and long fight before the
land office, are all familiar matters
to Sentinel readers.
In June, 1908, the land office
handed down its decision upholding
the charges against the company. The
decision was very exhaustive and
many startling charges against the
company and the original entrymen.
An appeal was at once taken to
the general land office at Washing
ton. Eighteen months ago a num-
Der of prominent attorneys from this
city went down to Washington and
argued the Redlands case for several
days.
In March of last year came the an
nouncement, made public for the
first time through the columns of
The Sentinel, that the general land
office, or rather that the commits
sioner of the general land office at
Washington had rendered decision
confirming the decision of the Mont
rose land office and Register Bryson

This decision held, as did the
