CITIES TO GET MINES
Will Be Enabled to Operate
Own Coal Tracts.
NEW POLICY OF FISHER
Secretary of Interior Asks Sanction
of Congress.
BLOW AT HIGH PRICES
Municipalities in Western States
Can Give Citizens Supply at
Cost by New Scheme.

A new application of the conservation
policy to the distribution of government
coal lands will. it is said at the Interior
Department, enable cities to obtain and
operate their own coal mines by gift of
the government If Congress accepts a
recommendation of Secretary Walter L.
Fisher which is submitted in a letter sent
today to the House committee on public
lands. Cities in Colorado. Utah. Wyoming
Montana, Idaho and other states west of
the Missouri river. it is declared. VIII be
most vitality affected by the proposed
legislation
Secretary Fisher believes that cities
situated in public land states that contain
government coal lands desiring to mine
coal to supply municipal needs and the
needs of their citizens should be given
limited areas of government coal land.
provided only that the coal be mined and
disposed Of under proper regulations.
Following this principle and as a tenta-
tive grant he has recommended that
Congress enact bill to grant to the city
Of Grand Junction, Col, $40 acres of coal
land under conditions imposed in the bill
Coal Land Withdrawn.
Upon a request of Representative Tay-
lor of Colorado, Secretary Fisher has
directed that the coal lands desired by
the city of Grand Junction shall be held
withdrawn from entry. The right of the
Secretary to make Withdrawals by execu-
tive order in the absence of express au
thority previously conferred by statute
has been a subject Of controversy, espe-
cially in Colorado, but Secretary Fisher
says he has no doubt of executive au-
thority in this matter, and he therefore
sent the following wire to Mr.. Taylor:
Glad to find you an advocate of eX-
ecutive Withdrawals. Grand Junction coal
land already under general withdrawal
which will be maintained as you re-
quest.
Provisions of Measure.
The general bill which Mr. Fisher Of
fers would authorize the Secretary of the
Interior, in his discretion, to patent $40
acres of government coal land for each
city and 1GO acres for each town under
conditions providing for prompt and con-
tinuous development of the coal, the pre-
vention Of any assignment or transfer of
the land, the safeguarding of the health
and safety of laborers mining or handling
the coal, the prevention of undue waste
OF mlneral resources, ana the procuring
of full report and publicity as to the
mining and disposal of coal mined under
the patent, including cost of construction
maintenance and of operation. use for
municipal purposes, sales and receipts
from sales The Secretary believes that
any such patent Should be safeguarded
by the provision that the title of the
land patented shall revert to the govern
ment If any city or town to which coal
land shall be patented shall at any time
fail to perform any of the conditions of
the patent.

Early in the Field.

When the various commands making
up the two armies were put in motion
early today each had its instruction to
reach a designated point. The Connect
cut infantry went from their home sta
tions to Shelton, where, after detraining.
they ''hiked' to Seymour, throwing out
an advance guard with the object of Sc
curing control of ZOar bridge. which is
one of the main crossings of the Housa-
tonic river and the only one for ten miles
above Derby. These regiments also pro-
| tected the supply depot which the Reds
had established at Derby. Then the regi-
mentS went into camp to await reinforce
ments before taking further offensive
movements. Reinforcements were in the
shape of the I'd Maine Infantry, which
was coming by train.
The supply depot of the BLUE" army is
at Danbury, but while the Connecticut
and Maine regiments were near enough
ter place, the LIST Vermont Infantry and
other regiments of the Blues" were
theoretically marching diagonally across
northern Connecticut in order to reach
Danbury and enter the scene of active
operations. On the south the Reds" had
established divisional headquarters at
New Haven, with the 7th, 18th. 9Th and
list Infantries supported by one battery
of field artillery.
These regiments, which constituted the
LIST Brigade. had reached New Haven by
way of the sound. using the steamer
Richard Peck and two freight steamers
Of the New Haven road. The infantry

Although Secretary Fisher believes that
a longtime lease for a nom anal cons d.
Grafton would be better for this purpose
than an outright grant because L would
admit of greater fiexibility in dealing with
each city according to local circumstances
and cond lions, he asserts that IL is pos

ton policy.

Secretary Fisher maintains that the
aim of the federal conservation policy
with respect to government owned coal
lands is to insure for the public an
abundant supply at prices which yield

invested i'm mining and handling the coal.
Municipal corporations which desire to
mine coal to supply municipal needs and
the needs of their citizens are In a dif-
ferent position from commercial corpora
tons, IL is declared. and IL may be pre-
sumed that a city entering upon such an
enterprise would sell the coal at cost to
its citizens and not attempt TO make
profit therefrom. Even II a profit were
made it would increase the general reve-
nue. of the city and thereby accrue to the
benefit of the citizens.

Position of Railroads.

Senator Lodge declared the country was
controlled by a desire to attack the rail-
roads.
THE cost of operating railroads has
gone steadily up" he said wages have
risen, and other expenses have increased.
At the same time the interstate COM
merce commission stands at hand to pre-
vent the railroads from raising their
rates.
such conditions cannot continue. The
only body in the world that can operate
railroad at loss is the government.
which can charge the loss up to the peo-
pie in the form of increased taxes.
This pursuit of the railroads, this
hunting down of the railroads, goes on
shall not gain in the long run by this
blind assault upon everything American
that has any appearance Of prosperity.
