Western Newspaper Union News Service
Washington.-Six million acres OF
withdrawn public lands were restored
to entry during the months of May
and June upon approval by the sec
retary of the interior on the recon-
mendations of the United States Geo
logical Survey. This action was the
result of examination and classified
| tion of the lands of the survey, those
| restored either having been found not
| to be valuable for power sites, reser-
voirs, coal, phosphate or potash de-
posits having been definitely valued as
coal lands, and rendered available for
purchase under the coal land law.
OF these lands relieved from coal
withdrawal nearly 100000 acres were
In the state of Colorado. Five and a
half thousand acres were also with
drawn in Colorado as water power
| sites.
In Idaho 100000 acres of coal and
phosphate Withdrawals were classified
and restored. and for water power
sites approximately 10000 acres were
withdrawn and about the same AGRA.
| age restored.
In Montana 250,000 acres were re-
stored as being non-coal bearing and
about 1000 acres as not valuable for
water power sites, while about $50
acres were withdrawn for that pur
pose.
| In North Dakota nearly 1,400, ,00O
acres in coal withdrawal were classi
fled and restored.
In Oregon approximately 75,00C
acres were restored as non-oil bearing
lands and about $4,000 acres were

| voir sites.

drawn for water power sites.
In Wyoming over 47,OO0 acres o
coal Withdrawals were reopened to en-
try and purchase; approximately 81.
600 acres were withdrawn for classi
fication as to whether they are oi
bearing lands, and about 3O4 900 acre.
! -"SiC ACSeoiC GU 40 AOiA-PhoSPhotC AoAc
For all states the total withdraw
ais during the months of May an'
June were over 10000 acres, and thu
total restorations were over 6,00O,Q0t
acres.
The total outstanding withdrawal,
on July l in all the public land state.
amounted to 6S 6S,609,2S9 acres, of which
more than 5S.0o0,O0O acres are in Goa
land Withdrawals.
These lands are held pending classi
fication by the Geological Survey, ant
as rapidly as they are found to b'
mineral bearing they are either valued
and placed on sale (as in the case o
coal lands), definitely reserved pend
ing appropriate legislation by Con
gress to provide for their disposition
(as in the case of potash or phosphate
lands), or held subject to development
under departmental regulations (as II
the case of water power or reservoir
reservations); or if they are found tt
be non-mineral in character they ar,
restored to public entry. This worl
of classification and valuation is be
ing prosecuted by the Geological Sur
vey as rapidly as the appropriation
provided by Congress will permit.

MONON RAILROAD
HAS MORE TROUBLE
Stops Trains on Both Sides
Of White River Bridge.

Bloomington. Ind. April 8. Tho
Monon railroad found serious trouble
late Thursday afternoon when it was
discovered that the middle abutment
OF the White river bridge just south of
Gosport was out of line. The road at
once stopped operating it's main line
trains over the bridge. Louisville and
Chicago through trains come to the
bridge on each side, and then transfer
passengers. All through freights have
been stopped. 1t Is thought the abut-
ments of the bridge were affected by
the flood. The stopping Of freights is a
hardship to Bloomington and other
towns along the line. as they are about
out OF fuel, and 1t Is also Impossible
to move stone or other merchandise
either way. The big Showers factory
here has more than 100 cars of fur
niture stored and must shut down un-
