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 it 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, in
which the opinion is expressed that
coal to the value of $2,000,00o 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 it has received. The
state in taking the land assumed upon
itself grave responsibility in agree
ing to maintain an expensive school
for an indefinite period.
