How to lie Shoes Comfortably.

Men who have trouble with shoes
because the lacing does not stay tight
over the instep, but becomes so tight
at the top as to be uncomfortable, can
avoid the discomfort by a little care.
Lace the shoe tightly until halfway
up, then pass the string second time
over the hooks and then lace the rest
of the shoe loosely. The double turn
over the hooks at the instep will keep
the lower portion of the lacing tight,
and the upper portion will remain

IsiPAssED TO PATENT
Western Colorado Land Release.
I'D to Entry---Was Held Up

An important decision effecting en-
try to 4,OOO,OOO acres of land in
we5tern Colorado in former Ute res
ervAtions was promulgated at the In
terror department last Saturday.
u an opinion by the first assistant
secretary, n ruling by the commits
sioper of the general land office was
reversed, and hundreds of agricultur-
al claims. held up Us conflicting with
conservation legislation of last year,
will be passed to patent.
The commissioner held that the
act of June 70, 1910, providing for
agricultural entries on land classed
As containing coal deposits, did not
apply to former Indian lands ceded
to the government.
The decision was on an appeal to
the Interior department made in the
case Of William Glassner, who sought
to perfect homestead entry in the
Southern Ute reservation near Du-
range.
The ruling was made that the pro-
visions of the act In question are ap-
piicable and operative to ceded In
dian lands, and it was ordered that a
formerly-issued and somewhat mis-
leading circular in this particular be
changed to make plain the rights Of
entrymen.
The decision means the successful
outcome of earnest efforts by Repre-
sentative Taylor and several others
to have the commissioners decree
overturned, and many hundreds Of
awaiting entries in Colorado Ute lands
are released to patent. Congressman
Taylor filed several briefs and deliv-
cred personal argument before the Of
fcials.
There are 1000 900 acres in western
Colorado Withdrawn from entry as
containing coal. Most of this is in the
old Ute reservations which gradually
bsee gone back to the public domain
with reimbursement provisions for
the Indians. The Glassner entry In
| the southern Ute reservation was re-
ltected by the land office on December
| 3, 1910, on the ground that 1t could not
b allowed.
+ s6ndss last years act permitting
surface entry on coal lands the CLAIM
ant expressly waived his rights to
any coal, pursuant to the provisions
of that law. However, the commits
sioner decided that patent should
| not issue on the ground that the sur
face entry act of last year expressly
stated that 1t did not ''c,lange, repeal
or modify agreements or treaties
made with Indian tribes for the dis
position of their lands, or apply to
lands ceded to the United States to
be disposed of for the benefit of such
tribes"

LATE RAILROAD NEWS
Seeks to Renew Options At Chap
man---Baranscheer Talks

Conrad s. Taylor and g. X. Brew
ster, both of Denver, representatives
of the Grand River, Meeker d Salt
Lake railroad, were In New Castle
this week on business connected with
the road. 1t Is understood that they
sought to renew options on land In
the vicinity OF the proposed town Of
Chapman, but at the latest reporta
nothing had been accomplished In
that direction. Mr.. Brewster has re-
turned to Denver, and Mr.. Taylor has
gone down the line toward Rifle, 1t IL
said.
VIM. ]. Baranscheer, chief engi-
neer for the company, has returned
from trip to Kansas City. He ex-
presses himself as much pleased with
the route SO far as surveyed.
'.The line reaches the east. end Of
Grass valley at Hutchinson hill with
out any sharp curves and with very
good grade" he said. 1--WE were par
ticularly fortunate with the survey
at this point. Through Grass valley
to Rifle creek the country is level,
with line free from curves. At Rifle
creek there is a fill and two tunnels,
after which the line proceeds to the
summit of the White River divide
with an average grade Of two and
half per cent, until, at the summit,
for distance of three miles the
grade is three per cent. There Is nc
tunnel at the summit"
Mr.. Baranscheer stated that he
knew nothing concerning proposed
townsites and terminals, as other
members of the company had charge
| OF such matters.
From all that can be learned the
proposed road offers the best grade
and the shortest line to White river
of any to be found between Glenwood
Springs and Grand Junction.-New

weighed 800 pounds dressed, and was
as fine piece of beef as was ever
seen In Meeker. The animal was a
three-year-oId and would have weigh

Hazing Newlyweds at Debeque

he had been called to officiate at .
wedding. He reports the bride and

after the ceremony had been per-
formed, and after the pranks were ov-
er the priest was called upon to use
his best endeavors and persuasive
powers to get the practical jokers out
of Jail, where they had been placed
at the instance of the angry BRIDE
groom.
1t seems that after the ceremony,
congratulations and various other
functions were over some OF the
young men got the idea into their
heads that it would be huge joke If
they were to kidnap the BRIDE
groom and keep him sequestered for
time while they enjoyed the situa-
tion.
Accordingly the young man was
decoyed into room, where he was
stripped of everything except good
warm pair of suspenders and his abil-
ity to cuss, and then left to invent
some means Of appearing In polite So
ciety without shocking the fastidious.
While this was going on some OF
the young lady guests were made
aware of the joke, and so, not to be

couple, they proceeded to treat. the

penders.
1t was huge joke, and the jokers
were laughing heartily over it and
patting themselves on the backs at
their ingenuity In thinking up some
mirth was switched onto the other
side of their mouths. The pathetic
change was caused by the serving of
warrants on them for assault-and in
iiffy the v found themselves locked

1t was a case of he who laughs last

the upper part of his anatomy, he
crawied out of the window and slid
down a waterspout to the ground.
Then he hOtfOoted it Tor shall we say
coldfoOted it?) to the nearest justice
of the peace and swore out warrants
for the jokers-at least for the male
portion. Then in his airy attire he
began hunt for his bride. He pres
emily found the young lady-in the
parlor of the ehotel-decOrously gown
ed as usual. One of the more tender
hearted of the feminine mischief
makers had experienced qualms of
conscience at the girls plight, SO she
had smuggled her clothes back and
helped her to dress.
In the meantime there was much
weeping and waiting at the city lock-
up, and importunings to be released,
but there was nothing doing. Final
ly Father Walsh's persuasive pow
ers were invoked, and, acting as a
peace envoy, he called upon the still
irate bridegroom and after much
pleading induced that gentleman to
withdraw his charge.
