LANDS

WESTERN CITIES SOON.
Providing Plan of Secretary Fish
er Is AdOpted-Will Benefit
the West Greatly.

WASHINGTON. Aug. 9.-Secretary
Fisher has plan to give government
coal lands TO cities which In turn NAV
operate them under certain regulations
TO supply municipal ueeds as well as
those of citizens.
As first step in the plan. Secrc-
tary Fisher has recommended that
congress pass a blu granting Gao acres
OF coal land to the city OF Grand juno.
ton. Colorado. and meanwhile the in
terror department has withdrawn from
entry. the land the city desires.
Cities in Colorado. Wyoming, Utah,
Montana. Idaho and other public land
states west of the Missouri river
would be most vitality affected by Sec
retary Fishers plan.
The general bill he offers would au-
thorize the secretary of the interior, in
his discretion. TO patent Gao acres OF
government coal lands for each city
and 100 acres for each town under con
ditions providing for prompt and con-
tinuous development of the coal, the
prevention OF any assignment or trans
fer OF the land, the safeguarding OF
the health and safety of laborers min
ing or handling the coal, the preven-
ton OF undue waste OF mineral re
sources. and other restrictions. The
secretary believes that any such
patent should be safeguarded by the
provision that the title 10 which coal
land shall be patented shall any city
or town 10 which coal land shall be
patented shall at any time fail 20 are-
form any OF the conditions Of the leas-
ing system.
Upon the request OF Representative
Taylor OF Colorado Secretary Fisher
has directed that the coal lands de-
sired by Grand Junction be held with
drawn from entry. The right OF the
secretary TO make Withdrawals by ex-
ecutive order IN the absence OF express
authority previously conferred by the
statute has been a subject OF contro-
versy. especially in Colorado. but Sec
retary Fisher has no doubt OF his exc
cutive authority in this matter.

the pouring rain. outposts are being
maintained on every hill and point
from which an attack might occur
The miners who went on a strike
to-day were those az Boomer. five

that the miners were refused a pay

OF the second and third as in ordl-

OLYMPIC GAMES WILL
 COST MUCH MONEY

OLYMPIC games are an expensive
 pastime. One need not necessa- rily be of mathematical turn of mind to calculate the vast sums expended by the many countries represented in the greatest of all athletic meets, held once every four years.
 The next set of Olympic games. as is generally known, will be held in Stock holm, Sweden, in June and July of this year. Already remarkable activity pre- walls in the countries which will strive to make America relinquish its sine cure on first place in this classic. Money is being djsbursed freely to pre- pare the athletes, and each nation is making Q determined effort to produce a better aggregation of athletes than the rest of the nations.
 It is estimated that from $2000, 900 to $3,000, ,000 will be spent by about fif- teen nations on the coming Olympic games. This, of course, includes the expenses incurred in the training period for the tryouts and for other inciden- tals, and il is expected that the S3000. 000' mark for expenditures will be reached before the last flag is hosted in the Stockholm stadium late in July.
 sweden, naturally, will open its cof fers more generously than the rest of the nations this year, because the SWedes have the honor of supervising the games. A sum in excess of S500. GOO in Swedish money will change hands. Of this amount $300000 will be spent for the construction of stands. S100, 900 will be sQuandered on the nations guests. and more than S100,000 will be expended for the development of an athletic team that will make q pre- sentable showing.
 England will be touched" for the next largest sum-$200 900. The United Kingdom expects to be represented by 300 athletes, and q special steamer has been chartered to convey the perform 1 CTS to the scene of hostilties The { 1908 London Olympiad cost England in l the neighborhOod of $l ,O00 000 !

 Athletics in Italy gained much needed impetus after Dorando's bril- liant performance in the Marathon al London four years ago. This year Italy will send a stronger and larger team than it did in the last Olympiad and will disburse S50.OO0 in an effort to make q good showing.
 For the first time in the history of the Olympic games Japan and China will make a bid for hOnors. Japan has some corking athletes, judging by re- ports of their performances and the Japs and Celestials will spend $50.0OC on the event.

Ball Players Should Keep Out
 of Literary Field, Says Wallace

MANAGER BOBBY WALLACE of
 the St. Louis Browns is one ath- lete who believes that ball players should stay out of the literary field. Sir ROderick thinks the two profes sions do not mix and says the ball player should attend to ball playing and let the baseball writers attend to their own branch of the sport. This is what Wallace says on the matter:
 T do not believe that the ball player, no matter how smart, can write base ball any better than sporting writers can play the game. IL looks to me like two different kinds of business. 1 know that when you are on the field you see the game from an entirely diff ferent angle than you do off the field. Anyhow. when one player attempts to criticise the work of another he is bound to bump into trouble. You know the baseball writers. as a general rule. are very fair to all members of a team, and the players appreciate that fact. but the player who attempts to pass upon the work of another player is likely to get himself into hot water We had some fine examples of that not many months ago. As for me. I'm off that stuff. Bail playing is my business not writing. and you couldn't hire me to get Out of my own line"

PaCkey MCF ar|and
 Has Made S2OO,OOO

DACKEY MFARLAND says his $10,-
 900 reward for defeating Matt Wells the English lightweight cham pion. in New York recently, brings his total winnings in the ring up to an even $1l0,000. His figures show that an additional $9O,000 represents his earn ngs in theatrical side lines, making a grand total of $2O0,0O0 since he knock ed out his first opponent, Pete West, in two rounds eight years ago. He received only S25 for that introductory appearance
 Mcfarland as is well known is thrifty and economical Most of his earnings are carefully "salted." He has no bad habits. his friends say. and he is only tWcntY-four years old. so that he expects by the time he retires from the ring to find himself within reaching distance of the half million class.
