I against the Cunningham claimants
| He also refers at length to the nego-

these coal lands, which were TO be
worked in connection with the other
extensive Guggenheim interests in

The government charged against
| Cunnin CHAM and his associates that
their entries of the coal lands were
made in pursuance of an understand

the claimants prior to location, to
combine the several claims for the
! Joint use and benefit of all. Il was fur
made with the unlawful purpose that
they should inure to the use and ben
eft OF an association or corporation.
After reviewing all of the facts
brought out, Mr.. bennett reached thd
conclusion that the claims had no legal
standing and ordered them cancelled
Secretary Fisher promptly approved
this finding

court, but such an appeal can be based
only on some point Of law involved,
and not on the findings of fact as an
nounced by the department.
The Cunningham claims have been
in the public eye constantly for more
than two years. They brought about
the Balling er-Pinchot investigation by
congress and the dismissal from the
public service of Clifford Pinchot, as
chief forester; John R. CLAWS, chief
of field division in the land office, and
several minor officials.
Both Pinchot and CLAWS were dis
missed for INSTRUMENTATION incident to
the Interior Ballinger, who, they
charged, was favorably disposed to-
ward the claims. These claims and the
bitter controversy they started, it is
believed, had much to do'with the re-
signation of Mr.. Ballinger last March
as secretary of the interior. One Of
the first acts of his successor, Mr.,
Fisher, who is a friend of Pinchot and
of Colonel Theodore Roosevelt, was to
start these claims toward final de-
cision
The importance of the decision is
set forth by Mr.. Shipp, secretary OF
the National Conservation association,
who said:
THE decision of the department of
the interior in cancelling the Cunning
ham claims is a great victory for con-
servation Aside from the value of the
coal deposits thus saved from mo-
nopoly, it is of the utmost Importance
to the whole country in that 1t should
clear the way for the prompt develop
ment of Alaskan coal fields for the
benefit of all the people,

But first let tell you something about the
origin of these structures and the god whom they
commemorated. The Arabs claim that this is the
oldest city in the world. They say that Adam lived
here, and that it between here and the Mediter-
yanean that Cain killed Abel. One OF Adams fav-
orite residences Damascus, and Seth lived al
Nebi Schitt, nest in the Lebanon mountains. They
will show you where Noah was buried and the town
in which Ham lived. They also think that Nimrod
regned in this valley, and they have tradition
when angel called upon him he threw the holy
into the blazing furnace. from which he
unframed. They locate the Tower of Babel at Baal-
bek and believe that Nmrod built it. Another legend
states that Abraham reigned at Damascus and came
here frequently. 1t is also well known that Solo
mon had city named Baalath. in which other gods
than Jehovah worshipped. Indeed, il is said
that Solomon. in order to please his concubines
built temple here and that he had a castle which
he gave as a present to Bakis the Queen OF Sheba
Baalbek was well known in the days of the Phoe-
nicians and it great city in the time of Christ

In the walls of the temple foundation what
are venture the biggest building blocks ever gotten
out of the quarry by man. One Of the walls which
has been recently uncovered by. the Germans, has
three great limestone blocks, each of which measures
sixtyfour feet in length. thirteen feet in width and
twelve feet in thickness If such stones placed

which lies to the side of Baabek more than mile
from the temples; some of them have been placed
upon the walls at distance of thirty more feet
from ground and they accurately laid that
a knife blade cannot be driven in between them.
