Government Can Increase Price.

Denver.-When the federal Con-
gress. back in the year 1873. faced the
problem of getting rid OF coal lands in
the Rocky mountain region, 1t was
the consensus of opinion. at least in
the Senate. that the coal lands ought
to be sold for prices varying from $40
to $50 an acre. So the secretary of
the interior was authorized to sell
those lands at prices mot less than
$40 an acre" for lands more than Is
miles OF railway. and mot less than
$50 an acre" for lands within Is
miles Of railroad.
On the basis OF that congressional
action. taken more than a quarter of a
century ago. two gentlemen contend
ed Saturday In the United States Dis
triet Court in Denver that they had a
right even now to buy coal lands from
the federal government at $50 an
acre. They were mistaken. willis

TEXAN PAST CENTURY MARK
Youngblood Attributes Longevity to
Name-Is in Splendid Physical
Preservation.

Saltillo, Texas. f. Youngblood of
this place believes that his name has
prolonged his years far beyond the u.s.
ual allotment of life. He recently cele-
brated the 106th anniversary of his
birth, and he is said to be the Oldest
active bricklayer in the world. His
very name is suggestive of long life
and he has never let his thoughts
dwell upon old age. Youngblood in
name and young blood in his physical
and mental activities have guided him
along life's pathway. He has never
contemplated himself Inf any other
light than a man full of wholesome
and untiring energy. His blood is still
young, he says.
Mr.. Youngblood believes in hard
work. He has done his full share of
physical labor during his long life
and expects to do a lot more before
he is called to his final reward. Re-
Gently there was a shortage of brick
layers on the new library building
that is under construction at Sulphur
Springs. and Mr.. Youngblood was sent
for and pressed into service. He is
said to have performed the work of
/ laying the bricks as well as the young
er men who were employed upon the
job. In addition to following his
trades as bricklayer and stone mason

Mr.. Youngblood finds time to cultivate
a farm which he owns near Saltillo
He works every day in the field when
there is no bricklaying job on hand.
This season he has done all the cult
walton of crop of corn himself.
This remarkable man is in a spien-
did state of physical and mental pres
ervation. He reads without glasses
and has all of his teeth but one. He
takes as much interest in the affairs
of the community as a young man.
Mr.. Youngblood was born in Nash
Vile, Tenn, in 1904. He mNyed to
Morgan, Ala, when a boy and there
learned the stone mason and brick
layers trades. He worked at these
trades all over the South and moved
to Marshall, Texas, in 1S49. A few
years later he moved to Sulphur
Springs and thence to Saltillo. He
says that he always made it rule
in his younger days TO follow his
trades five days of the week and teach
singing schools on Saturdays and Sun
days. He still has good voice and
leads the singing in Church.
