210 SACKS OF MAIL
ARE FROZEN ON ROAD

Sentinel Special Service.
Omaha, Neb., March Frozen
into solid mass of ice, 21O sacks
of paper mail from New York and
New England, en- route to Pacific
coast points, reached Omaha last
night and today the postal authori-
ties have been busy trying to thaw
the lump into pieces which can be
handled. 1t is believed that the
entire lot is ruined.
The condition of the mail is the
outcome of a fire in the railroad
yards at Aurora, H., when a car
load of second class mail which was
being transported by the Burlington
took fire. The car was run to a To-
connective watering tank and a flood
of water turned on it. The fire was
extingushed. but the contents of the
car were soaked.
The train continued on its way
and the water froze the mail into
solid cake of ice. The car was un-
loaded with pickaxes and crowbars.
Much of the stuff had been trans
ferred to the basement of the Oma-
ha postoffice building, where it is
stacked around the furnaces in an
effort at thawing it. A part will be
sent to destination, but a large por-
tion is completely ruined.

D0ESCHARTER
PROVE To BE
OBSTACLE?
City's Right to Condemn Property Is
Attacked and Attorney Upper
Makes Liberal Settlement
c. R. Lough Gets $500 for
Easement in the Case.

Does the commission form of gov
ernment in Grand Junction prevent
the city from exercising the right of
eminent domain and instituting con-
demnation proceedings outside of the
city limits?
This long established right of the
city was attacked by C. r. Lough,
through his attorneys, Fry G. Wesh,
this week. and as a result of the OBJ
1ections filed by the attorneys, the
city attorney today settled for the
city for sum six times as great
as that originally offered Mr.. Lough,
without securing any right-of-way
except an easment.
The matter was not passed upon
by the court, but the inference is
that the point of law was so well
established that the city could not
afford to let its case be heard in
court.
The Lough case was referred to
several times by The Sentinel as 1t
progressed. Mr.. Lough owns tract
of land on Orchard Mesa which is to
be traversed by the Hannah Creek
pipe line. Mr.. Lough alleges that
great damage would be done to his
property and asked for a large sum.
The city Offered him $50, but this
was refused.
The case was called before Judge
Sullivan, but the latter gave the
respondent, Mr.. Lough, more time in
which to prepare his case. Monday,
Messrs. Fry & Welsh filed their OBJ
jections to the city proceeding with a
condemnation suit. and it is said that
Immediately City Attorney Tupper
began overtures toward settlement.
1t was asserted today by another
firm of attorneys not connected with
this case that it is well established
that city operating under a special
charter cannot exercise the right of
eminent domain because the legisla-
ture has never passed a law giving
them that authority.

The most important of these is COZ
sidered to be that of the Norwegian,
Captain Road Amundsen, who is
utilizing the Fran, the celebrated
polar ship which DR.. Friedtjof Nan
sen used in his explorations in the
Arctic ocean from 1898 to 1896.
Captain Amundsen left Buenos
Ayres toward the end of 1910.
Another expedition is that of the
Austrian, DR.. Mawson, who was one
OF the members of the Shackleton ex-
pedition. The vessel used by him is
the Aurora, which left Australia in
November 1910.
The German Antarctic expedition,
under the leadership of Lieutenant
Wilhelm Filchner of the Bavarian
army, sailed on board the steamer
Deutschland from Buenos Ayres on
october 8, last year.
A Japanese expedition, under Lieu
tenant Shirase, left for the south on
board the Kianan Maru from Sydney

Fred Shafer
Asks For
Road Day

Sentinel Special Service.
Denver, Mar. Fred Shaffer
of Grand Junction has asked the
governor to proclaim the third
Monday in May as a Colorado
holiday to be known as Colorado
Good-Roads day.
Shaffer is not asking more than
he is entitled to ask, because the
last Legislature passed a bill des-
ignating this date as Good-Roads
day.
1t is intended by the passage of
the measure to better road condi-
tions throughout the state by de-
voting one day all over the state
to the improvement of the thor
oughfares
Shaffer declares that, If the pur-
poses of the bill are carried out in
May, more than 1000 miles of
good roads could be built in sin
gle day by this method. The gov
ernor promises to act on the mat
ter in few days.

East in Fear
OF Strike of
Many Men
Associated Press.

Associated Press.
New York, Mar. THE fear OF
strike of 10000 anthracite coal
miners on April l has caused a
rush to be made by consumers who
want sufficient coal to carry them
over the possible strike period.
This sudden demand became wide
spread today when it was reported
that the railroads, instead of hav-
ing a large amount of coal in stor-
age, were running short and were
making every effort to increase
their depleted reserve. In conse-
Quence, many of the dealers have
increased their prices by from 81
to s1.25 per ton.
The operators state that the
coal at the mines now is selling
at the regular market prices.

Last month the regular and special dividend was six per cent. It is estimated that the company can pay a monthly dividend of about 75,O0O$ and still maintain it's big sinking fund. The company has been producing at the rate of about l20,OO0$ per month the past several months and this rate will be main- tained for long period, with the pres ent high values in the ore reserves in the mine.
