BLUFF THIS DRIVER
Amusing Road Incident Reported
From Meyers Cave With
"Spunky"Man Its Central Figure

Viewers Cave, June 26.-It is re-
ported that man driving loaded
wagon met a party of tourists, who
were passing through this section
in their automobile this morning,
seemingly thinking only of their
own pleasure. According to the
drivers story, the tourists wanted
more of the road than belonged to
them. They said they were going
to stay there until the teamster gave
them as much road as they wanted,
Can act that never entered his mind.)
He made himself as comfortable as
possible and informed them that he
was getting paid by the day and
could stay as long as they. They
waited for some time but finally saw
that the man was not going to move
so passed around on their side.
Mr.. M. F. Wrenn of Shenandoah
was in town today. Mr.. Wrenn ex-
poets to set up in the wholesale pro-
duce business here the first of next
month. He will begin business in
the warehouse of Messrs. Earman

tity of produce that is shipped from

they would do a f1ourishing bust
ness. This enterprise will be fine
thing for the merchants and gener-
al public, as they will be able to get
their produce to market at much less
expense.

Special to Dispatcli-N News

Washington, June 26.-Special.
The famous Cunningham Alaskan
coal lands claims, through which it
has bbeen alleged that the Morgan
Guggenheim syndicate had planned
to extend their vast interests in AL
aska and to control one of the most
valuable coal fields in the world,
were today finally disallowed by the
Department of the Interior.
Secretary of the Interior Walter
L. Fisher, having approved the de-
partment's decision, as handed down
by Fred bennett, commissioner of
the land office, the last door is be-
leved to have been closed to the
Cunningham claimants. Their at
torneys have threatened an appeal
to the United States Supreme Court,
but such an appeal can be based only
on some point of law involved. and
not on the findings of fact as an

Statement by Secretary Fisher
In announcing the decision of the
department today Secretary Fisher,
who succeeded Mr.. Ballinger in
March last, declared that new coal
land laws are needed in Alaska if
that territory is to be developed
properly. In a statement the Sc
cretary said:
This is a final decision of the

will be merely form al for the purpose
of perfecting the record in case the
claimants think there are questions

''It is the intention of the depart
ment to proceed at once to final de-
termination of all the remaining AL

properly be done, denying those that
should be denied, and granting
those that should granted as
rapidly as possible.
