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-
sade 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 state
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 it is the
intention Of all Of the Colorado men,
bers of the House and Senate to op-
pose its enactment the grant Of the
lands to the state in their opinion hav-
ing been entirely unconditional.

Gift Involves Coal Dispute.

Denver.-There are members OF the
national administration who seem to
live in mortal terror that the state of
for nothing from the government.
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 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 100000 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.

Colorado Water Filings.

Denver.-An examination of the fill
ings on water rights in Colorado, re-
corded in the office of the state en-
gineer during the last two years, com
pels the inference that If there is any
thing more valuable than gold in this
state, 1t must be water. In seventy
water districts, embraced in five di-
visions OF the state, there have been
within the last two years. 2,297 ditch
filings, carrying total of 334,297 Gu
bic feet of water per second, and 1,506
new reservoir filings, claiming total
Of 972,617,612,S47 cubic feet.

LEGISLATIVE
Priority Measure Passes.
q Q I N G 3

After prolonged debate the Sen
ate. by a vote of twenty-five to thir-
teen, passed on third reading the Car
penter bill with the Parrish amend
ment. which places reservoir rights on
the rule of priority and repeals that
provision OF the act of 1901 prohibit.

position to the bill and its amendment.
declare that. II the bill is enacted by
the House. petitions to invoke the ref
erendum will be circulated and filed
with the secretary of state within
ninety days of adjournment Of the
Legislature.
Throughout the debate, which virtu-
ally covered the entire domain of ir-
rigation jurisprudence, the supporters
of the amended Carpenter bill laid
stress upon the claim that the act Of
1901 is unconstitutional in that it sub
ordinates senior reservoir appropria-
tions to Junior ditch appropriations:
while the opponents Of the measure
waged their fight against its passage
from the viewpoint that, II enacted,
1t will place the future agricultural de-
velopment Of the state under the con-
troll Of the reservoir companies, will
greatly assist the government in its
assertion OF title to water in this state
for use in reclamation projects in 9TH

natural streams of Colorado can be ap-
propriated for agricultural purposes.

The Legislative committee that Is
investigating the charges made against
Judge Greeley w. Whitford by the
State Federation of Labor spent one
day in reviewing the testimony given
by the sixteen coal miners in the con
tempt proceedings which terminated in
their being sentenced to Jail for term
of one year.
The search and seizure bill intro
duced by Representative Ardourel OF
Boulder and advocated by the Prohibi.
tion people of the state, was defeated
by a'vote Of twenty-nine to twenty-six
in the House. This bill, which gave
the same rights to officers to search for
and seize liquor in dry territory that is
given in selling gambling devices, was
held up by the temperance committee
until report was demanded by mem
bers Of the House.

The Moffat Tunnel,

Senator Cove is in receipt of the
following telegram from John A. Por-
ter of Denver, who is on the Pacific
coast in reference to the tunnel and
its construction:
"The passage Of pending tunnel bill
in Colorado Legislature is certainly of
the greatest Importance to Denver and
the entire state. Judging by many sur
veys made by the Moffat road, it would
seem very unwise to limit the length of
proposed tunnel to five miles when
one approximately mile longer could
be located at the most advantageous
place considered from both an engin-
eering and financial point of view. A
tunnel entering the Divide almost in
a direct line from Tolland would avoid
possible competition from a deeper
one, would materially shorten distance
and avoid climbing on maximum grade
winding line from Tolland to mouth
of five-mile tunnel. The state should
not hesitate at additional cost to OBJ
tain safer and more far-reaching in
vestment.-John A. Porter"
The opponents of the tunnel have Sc
cured an amendment to the bill that
would defeat the purpose, requiring
the Moffat road interests to deposit Sc
curities with the state to guarantee
the tunnel bonds. And this in addition
to the provisions already in the meas.
ure making the voad itself security for
the cost of construction.
With the recommendation that they
be placed before the committee of the
whole for favorable consideration and
final passage. the bills making the
State Normal school at Greeley
teachers college and providing for a
normal school training as a condition
to the granting Of certificates by coun-
ty superintendents, were reported by
the Senate committee on education
and educational institutions.
By vote OF twenty to fourteen, the
Senate ordered the hybrid bank guar
antee law on the calendar for special
consideration. This bill is a mixture
of Senator Gove's measure for rigid
banking code and Of Senator Crowley's
bill to enact the mutual bank guar
antee act Of Texas. The measure was
reported favorably by the banking
committee three weeks ago. When the
report was made, 1t was stated that
motion would be made to strike from the
hybrid bill all of the Texas bank guar
antee features and to retain the Cove
provisions which seek to make bank
guarantee rest on sound banking op-
erations.

FRUIT INSPECTOR HERE
Investigates Young Trees Received at
This Point for Planting for
Scale and Scab.

H. P. Ashby. deputy horticultural
inspector for Ada and Elmore coun-
ties was in town the first few days
of the week inspecting several ship
ments of trees received. He found on
ly a small percentage of the trees in
a diseased condition which he burn
ed.
He went to Hammett and inspect
ed a number of trees and also to
Grand View, in addition to the local
work. He stated that the people were
not always posted on his duties and
were often antagonistic to his work
until understood. In each instance
where he examined trees and found
disease he stated that the owners
were well pleased with the inspection.
The state has taken this method of
Kidding the orchards of various pests
which are very injurious to fruit. All
trees shipped into the state will be
thus examined and the tree from
state nurseries examined before ship
ment is made, thus the planter will
be assured of perfectly healthy trees.

RICH STRIKE
AT CASTLE CREEK
w. d. EVANS DEVELOPING MIN
ING PROPERTIES SHOWING
RICH VALUES
Large Amount Of Money Already Tx
pended in Development Work. WIN
Ship Ore To Salt Lake for Milling.
-Ifuns $3.50 in silver.

w. ID. Evans received word last
week from the assay office that tie
samples from his mine run $3.50 in
silver and from SIS to S45 in gold.
This is highly gratifying to him, es-
pecially after the large amount OF
money he has spent in developing
this mine and the long time it has
required to do the work. Mr.. Evans
has been working the property, which
Is located at Castle Creek, for the
past six or seven years and the as
says from various strikes have alf
been good and encouraging. Last
year he brought several samples OUT
with him which run high in silver
and gold, but the pay streak at that
time did not show large enough to
warrant him in going ahead and taxi
ing out ore. He continued driving the
tunnel until the last strike which
shows such excellent values.
The vein shows over six feet wide
and the pay streak Is about "a inch
es wide. The tunnels are in several
hundred feet and he expects to drive
them still further.
He states that the mines are not
easy to work The ore is deep and It
requires money and hard labor to
get to the ore in paying quantities.
The journey into the new camp ls
over a rough country and those going
in must be prepared for a hard trip.
He took a large party with him on
his last trip and all return very en-
thusiastic over the outlook.
MIR Evans intends to get out a
car OF ore at once and ship it to
Salt Lake for milling. AS soon as the
roads open up he win put several
large freighting outfits on the road
hauling the ore to the nearest ship
ping station and expects to ship large
quantities during the summer.
