Dies in Salida

typhoid fever.
Mr.. Howe was engaged in the fur

years and he and his family were
well and favorably known. They
located in Salida about three years
ago where Mr.. Howe conducted what
he called Racket store for time
and later entered the service of the
Rio Grande company in Salida shops.

the remains will be taken to his old

Project Lands Not
Opened for Filing

II appears there was nothing to the
story published in the Denver Post and
copied in one or more local exchanges
a week ago, to the effect that a large
proportion of Uncompahgre reclama-
tion project lands had been blocked
for homestead entry at the Montrose
Land Office. and which created con-
siderable excitement.
Those who had kept in touch with
such matters thought 1t very strange
that the Government would take such
a step without any announcement of
any kind before doing so. as the Gus
tom has been to formally announce
and advertise such openings, giving
detailed date and plans. so that all
might be upon an equal and fair foot
ing. and such persons denounced the
statement of alleged opening as ride
ulous and most probably without
foundation. However. that is nothing
new for the Post. or for any other
daily newspaper. whose reporters
trace out false scents and there is no
time to verify. And the same CON
dition will apply more to their war
news than any other department. con

all his property to the three children

latter executrix without bond. An ef-
fort was made to gather up all the
Colorado assets and take them to

The local heirs, who have present

matter under advisement and an
