! threatened and recommended by Sec
retary Ballinger.
Representative Taylor yesterday
wired Governor Shafroth asking him
to accept the tender at once.
The first offer of this property to
the state was obtained by Senators
Guggenheim and Teller in the Indian
appropriation bill approved March 3,
1903. by which the property was ceded
to Colorado conditional upon the &C
ceptance of the grant by the governor
OF the state prior to July /. 1910.
The governor took no action in the
matter and Senator Guggenheim Sc
cured the extension of the grant be-
yond July l., 1911. but there is strong
possibility that the present act offer
ing the land to the state will be re-
pealed.
Secretary Ballinger has sent com.
munication to the chairman Of the
Indian affairs committee of the senate,
asking that an amendment be adopted
to the Indian appropriation bill, now
being considered by the committee,
repeating that part of the act of April
4, 1910, which grants the Fort Lewis
school lands and buildings to Colo.
RADIO.
The secretary in his letter reviews
the previous legislation on the sub
ject, the failure of Colorado to accept
the lands offered and states that II
has recently been discovered that OF
the $500 acres of land belonging to
the school. considerable area is un.
derlaid with coal deposits Of great
value.
A report of an inspector who exam
ined the lands and reported to the de
partment Dec. %. 1910, estimates the
value of the coal at 81 $4,000, the sur
face at 5,400. the timber at $4,000,
and the buildings at $62.975.
The senate committee on Indian al
fairs is to hold a meeting, at which ii
