New Park for Colorado.

Washington.-The President is ex.
pected to designate the Monument Ma.
tional park in Colorado upon the re.
port of a special agent of the land of.
flee sent there to investigate. The
new reservation embraces a tract of
about 800 acres lying between Pali-
SADIE 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
interior that Congress in granting the
Fort Lewis Indian lands to the stat4
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,
bers of the House and Senate to op-
pose it's enactment the grant of the
lands to the state in their opinion hav-
ing been entirely unconditional.
