CLAIMS SHOWN TO
BE RAUL u L E N 7
But Secretary of Interior Fisher
Declares Alaska Coal Laws In
adequate; Remedial Legislation
Needed

WASHINGTON, d. G., June &c
Secretary of the Interior Fisher today
formally disallowed the famous Cum
ninghem Alaska coal Chains by
which 1t has been alleged the Nor
gan Guggenheim syndicate had tried
TO control one of the largest and
most valuable coal sections of the
world. Secretary Fisher approved the
department decision handed down
by Fred bennett commissioner of
the hand office There is no recourse
teft now for the Cunningham claim
ants except to the supreme court,
which may be had only on "A matter
of law Irrespective of the facts in the
case which cannot be appealed.
The Cunningham claims have been
in the public eye for more than two
years They brought about the Bal
linger- Pinchot investigation by con
grese and the dismissal from the pub
lie service of Chief Forester Clifford
Pinchot. LOUIS Il. CLAWS. a chief of
the field division in the land office
and several minor officers. Both
Messrs Pinchot and CLAWS were dis

department today, Secretary Fisher.

clared that new coal land laws are
needed in Alaska if that territory is
10 be developed properly In state
ment the secretary SAYS:
Il do not believe the present laws
applicable to coal lands in Alaska
are wise or practicable laws Never
theless their provisions must be en-
forced first because they are the law
and second, because they afford the
only protection to the public welfare
against the abuses of monopoly and
unrestricted private exploitation
sincerely trust that these laws will
be modified at the next session of
congress so as to permit the develop
ment of the Alaska coal fields under
provisions that will more adequately
protect and promote the public inter
est. If. however, there are claims
now pending which under the exist
ing law are entitled To patent | see
no justification for not taking action
upon them as promptly as the de-
partment can be assured that it is
in possession OF the facts upon which
such action can ultimately be taken"
Fatal Defects
Commissioner bennett in his de-
cision holding the claims for cancel

clares that each of the SO entries was

Many Arc Tested
Fine New Barn

A modern concrete f1oored, plaster
ed barn which will hold siXty-four
cows has recently been completed on
the Marks ranch. 1t is the last word
in cleanliness, neatness and convent
ence in COW barns. Well lighted,
we'll ventilated, it has gas lights from
the ceiling for dark mornings and
evenings. Each stall is equipped
with "a self-feeding manger. Indeed,
the self feeding principle is carried
out throughout the ranch, the Duroe
Jersey pigs, of which there are many
fat young specimens running about,
getting nourishment, too, from self
feeding troughs. Since tine barn holds
only 81 COWS, Mr.. Marks will have
next year for the first time, surplus
females to sell.

Having ones income hanging out
doors on trees subject to the caprices
of wind, hail and frost gives a touch
of Nervousness to the existence of
Yakima fruit ranchers, even though
they have, with few exceptions,
come through very well, but to have
ones income and capital both walk
ing about on four legs, exposed to all
the ills that cattle flesh is heir to,
is calculated to make II timid inves-
tor decidedly nervous. There is no
trace of nervousness, however. about
Mr.. Marks and his father. With well
fed, well cared for stock, with every
animal tuberculin-tested and happy,
they are willing to take their chances
tunate and prosperous chance it
seems.
The Marks idea. however, is not to
run successful dairy ranch. In
deed, they sell their cream, making
butter only for their own use. 1t Is
as breeders of what, to their minds,
is the best all around dairy COW, the
Holstein- Tristan, that they are aim
ing to reach a high place. And that
home-bred cattle of the quality pro-
duc1ed on the Marks, Davis and Todd
ranches in the Yakima country are in
demand. is evidenced by the sales al
ready made by these breeders, young
at the business as they are, with
their herds only just we'll established.

Want to Confer

Chairman Alex. Miller of the citi
zen's health committee has called the
meeting in order that the represen-
tatives of the different organizations
which make up its mem bership may
confer with the government expert
not only on present measures, but on
the steps to be taken to insure the
carrying out of all the good plans.
DR. Lumsden, in conference with
Mesdames Ham and Henry of the
women'a health committee, decided
on Thursday, at 2:30 p. m, at the
Presbyterian church as the date for
the meeting of women which he
wishes to address on health matters.
1t is a matter of regret that some Of
the officers and active members of
the women's clubs will be away at
Olympia attending the state fedora
ton of women's clubs convention, but
since the government man has a
regular program to carry out, and
has set aside next week for district
meetings, in which he will talk to
smaller groups of people in different
sections of the city, it was thought
nadvisable to postpone the meeting.
