Gift Involves Coal Dispute.

Denver.-There are members of the
national administration who seem to
live in mortal terror that the state OF
Colorado is going to get something
for nothing from the government.
Congress recently turned over to the
state the Indian school at Fort Lewis
and about 700 acres of land to be
used for the support OF the school.
In return the state agreed to main
tain the school.
Now some members OF the admins
tration. notably the new secretary OF
the interior, have discovered that
there Is coal under this land and in
letter to the President. the secre-
tary expresses the opinion that this
coal was not given to the state and
that II is still the property OF the ma
tional government.
The entire transaction was supposed
to have been closed and the governor
has accepted the land on behalf OF
the state. The land was given with
out reservation and. In the opinion OF
state officials. now belongs wholly to
the state.
Gov. Shafroth has received a copy
OF the letter sent by Walter l.. Fisher.
the new secretary OF the interior. I'm
which the opinion is expressed that
coal to the value OF 100000 lies un.
der the land.
Federal officials. however. have
strange and wonderful ideas about
conditions in Colorado and Gov.
Shafroth has written to all Of the
Colorado representatives asking that
they use their influence to see that
no effort is made to deprive Colorado
OF the land 1t has received. The
state In taking the land assumed upon
itself a grave responsibility in agree
ing to maintain an expensive school
for an indefinite period.

Washington.-Since the enactment
of the Curtis bill empowering the sec
retary of the interior to modify and
Reclamation Service, with a view of
affOrding relief to needy settlers un
der reclamation projects, steadily
increasing number of applications
have reached the department through
members of Congress. The disposi-
tion of these cases presents a serious
problem to the secretary. who has
thus far announced no definite pro-
cedure to govern this class OF cases.
From members who have taken
these matters up with the secretary's
office II is learned that it is not the
intention to grant wholesale and wide
spread relief under this act, and that
only upon an exceptionally strong
showing will isolated individual cases
be granted relief. The department con-
strues the law TO contemplate relief
of communities where unfavorable
conditions prevented the raising of n
crop. On some projects the late de-
livery OF water. or lack of water
caused by repairs to bitches or canals.
are given as justifiable cases warrant
ing the application of the Curtis act.
Severe and unusual frosts or other un-
favorable climatic condition. whereby
the settler was prevented from real
izing on the product of his land, are
other worthy considerations emitting
relief
The mere claim that a settler has
not money to meet his payments Will
not of itself be ground for relief. and
Islolated cases must prove some fur
ther claim in order to receive the ben
eft OF the law.

new reservation embraces a tract of
about 500 acres lying between Pali-
sade and Grand Junction, containing
palisades and peculiar rock forma-
tions. Representative Taylor took
the matter up with President Taft
some time ago and the secretary Of
the interior requested the general land
office to send an agent there to inves-
tigate. The report is expected danly
and it is believed will be favorable.
1t is stated at the Interior Depart
ment that President Taft concurs in
the views OF the new secretary of the

Fort Lewis Indian lands to the stats
OF Colorado did not intend to convey
to the state the coal underlying. The
President, It is stated. will recommend
to Congress the enactment of legisla-
tion to make explicit the intention Of
Congress to conserve teh coal under
the lands for the use and disposition
of the general government. Should
such legislation be proposed 1t is the
intention of all of the Colorado men,

pose its enactment the grant of the
