THE SECRETARY OF INTERIOR
NOT INTERFERED WITH

Associated Press.
Washington, Mar. 1.-THE SUI
preme court of the United States to-
day declined to block the secretary of
the interior in his refusal to accept
applications for land under the tim
ber and stone laws when the appli-
cants do not swear that they have
seen the land.
1t was claimed that the laws mere
ly required an affidavit showing that
the applicant, 'to his best knowledge
and belief" believed that the lands
came under the timber and stone
acts.
Mrs. Mary Ness, an applicant for
land on a mountain top in Oregon,
had presented an affidavit that she
was physically unable to inspect the
land personally. Later she forward
ed the affidavit of an expert wood
man who had inspected it at her re-
quest and swore that it was subject
to such entry.

TUNNEL CONTRACTORS BOND
OF S16O,OOO CAUSES
TROUBLE.
Sentinel Special Service.

Sentinel Special Service.
Denver, Mar. IA number OF
prominent Denver and Georgetown
business men, who went on a $780,
600 bond for S. A. Knowles several
years ago when that man was award
ed the contract by the United States
government to drive the Gunnison
tunnel, have been given notice by
the government that they may have
to make good the big bond.
Knowles had gained national re-
putation as a tunnel builder in view
of the fact that he broke all worlds
records in extending the Newhouse
tunnel, and his business associates at
Idaho Springs, as well as other sec
tions of the state, felt confident that
he could drive the Gunnison bore at
the specified rate of "a feet each day.
However, after a few months work,
it was plainly evident that he could
not accomplish the undertaking, and
the contract was forfeited, the gov
ernment stepping in and completing
the bore.
Nothing more was heard or
thought of the matter by the bonds
men living at Idaho Springs until
about three weeks ago, when the
various parties who had qualified for
Knowles received notification from
the government officials that they
must come through with the sum OF
$4,000 each. Since then the men
have been gathering in the shekels
and making ready TO hand over to
Uncle Sam the full amount of his
claim.
1t is said that there are several
Denver people who have received sim
liar notification, the principal one
OF which is the Leyner Engineering
Company that qualified to the extent
of $4,000 on Knowles bond.
Knowles is said to be now in the
vicinity of Creede, where he is driv-
ing a tunnel.

LOCAL MAN WAS
HOST Of HARDY
APT.AMUNDSEN
George Toupain, Former Proprietor
of Hotel at Circle City, Alaska,
Had Great Norwegian as His
Guest in Spring of 1906.

Capt. Raeld Amundsen, the hardy
Norwegian explorer whose discovery
of the South Pole has just been an
nounced, was the guest of Mr. and
Mrs. George Toupain at their hotel
in Circle City. Alaska, for a week
in the spring of 1906, and during
that time the local man became well
acquainted with the great Norwegian
Mr.. Toupain, as is well known
here, spent nearly twelve years in
the klomdyke. He operated hos
telry at Circle City for some time
and Amundsen was his guest directly
after the latter had completed his
trip through the northwest passage.
Amundsen was the second man to
negotiate the Arctic journey. After
concluding 1t, he located the magnet
ic north pole and was the first and
only man to find it. He then went
up the Mckenzie river, crossed over
the divide to the headwaters of the
Porcupine river and thence to Fort
Yukon. From the latter city he
went up the Yukon to Circle City,
where he rested at the Toupain ho-
tel After four days he went to Ea-
gle City and from there telegraphed
his discovery to the outside world
On his return down the Yukon he
stopped for two days more with the
Toupains.
The Norwegian, as Mr.. Toupain
recalls him, was a rawboned, strap
ping big fellow. weighing close to
100 pounds, and we'll over feet in
height. He was taciturn, especially
among those who spoke only Eng
lish. but Mrs. Toupain was able TO
converse with him in his own Ian
guage. He told much of his exploits
to her before the world outside the
Arctic knew of his adventures. He
floated through the passage on an
ice floe, undergoing terrible hard
ships, but with characteristic endur-
ance and stoicism.
He is unquestionably the greatest
discoverer of the age" said Mr.. Tou-
pain this morning in referring to
Captain Amusden. When he told
the world of his discoveries in the
Antarctic there was no question
about its authenticity. He is no DR..
Cook"

COURT ORDER
To Be OPPOSED
BY CREDITORS
Bond Holders of Palisade Irrigation
District Object to Having Ex-
pense Warrants Paid While
Bond Interest Is Overdue.

The recent order made by District
Judge Sprigg Shackleford in the man
damus suit of the Palisade irrigation
district against the county treasurer,
giving the warrants for maintenance
and operation expenses preference
over bonded Indebtedness of the dis
trict for payment by the treasurer,
will be sharply contested by the bond
holders of the district. This infor-
nation was received here a few days
ago by Deputy District Attorney H..
L. McClintock.
The order was favorable to the
district, and gave 1t funds with which
to pay its running expenses. although
no interest or principal payment was
being made in the meantime to the
bondholders.
Henry Wilcox & Son own the
bonds of the Palisade irrigation dis
trict, and they have directed their
attorneys, Messrs. Pershing and
Ellsworth in Denver to oppose the
order.
In the meantime, as a measure of
self protection Treasurer Benton
Canon has issued letter to all con-
cerned in the payment of these war
rants which is given in full below.
At the time the letter was written
the Palisade case was pending. The

bring about the denomination of Mr..

1t is. of course, difficult to get an
accurate line on a political conven-
tion when fewer than one-tenth of
the delegates have been chosen. but
the Herald has sought to do so and
has relied entirely on the judgment
of its correspondents, who in every
instance reflect the best judgment of
the leading men in their state. These
correspondents were told that the
Herald had no axe to grind and was
determined to make canvass in an
entirely impartial way.
Up to date 90 delegates have been
elected, all but two of whom are for
President Taft. The two are unin-
structed.
In many states the situation is so
chaotic that the leaders themselves
refuse to make any prediction.
