BIG LAND OPENING is
SET FOR JANUARY THIRD

The biggest land opening in the
Moutros. land office district for some
time, is that announced for January 3
1929, when 4 whole township of 23.0i0
acres on Blue Mesa, south of Sapinero
will be thrown open for entry, says
the Montrose Press.
This is very valuable and desirable
grazing land. and there is bound To
be big demand for this land, as with
in the recent past there has been q
great deal of inquiry about it.
The regulations just received by the
Montrose L. S. Land Office state that
the land will be thrown open to set
tiers and soldiers January 3. Prefer
ence rights of soldiers run 60 days and
preference rights of settlers for 90
days.
At the expiration of this time, April
1, 1922, the land will be open for entry
TO the general public.
This is by far the most important
land opening hereabouts for many
months. 1t is fine land for grazing
purposes and will be snapped up very
quickly. Some of it is already set
tied and the settlers will doubtless get
busy and file upon it now that the land
is being thrown open for entry.
the Montrose Press.
The land is officially designated as
Township Al, Range 5.
Gunnison news-champion., 1921-12-09

Looking up this land on the map.
Township Al, Range is located on
the headwaters Of the Big and Little
Blues and the Little Cimarron. Most
of the hitherto unsurveyed land was
on the Little Cimarron. Much Of it
is already filed on and the squatters
will have first rights, extending for 80
days. Preference rights Of soldiers
and sailors expire on March 4.
Just why it was deemed desirable
to open this land in the high noun
tains at a time of year when it will
be under three to ten feet Of snow
does not appear. All Of it is in Gum
nison county, though to be filed on in
the Mcntrose land district. E. NJ.
Nourse, u. S. Commissioner at Cum
nison, will give further detailed in
formation to ex-service men from this
locality who desire to look it up.

Mark Twain's Elephant.

Most of us receive white elephants
at Christmas, minus trunks and tails,
but Mark Twain, the American hui
morist, actually received an elephant
one Yuletide. Just before the fes-
tive season a great friend wrote and
told him If he was willing to accept an
elephant as a token of his regard, it
would arrive in due course. Whether
Mark looked upon the whole thing as
a joke or not one cannot say, but he
answered the letter by return mail,
thanking his friend for the offer, and
agreeing to accept the animal. First,
a huge supply of hay was delivered,
then an elephant trainer was an
nounced to inspect the premises, to
see that there was proper accommOda-
ton for the beast, and finally, the ami
NAL itself appeared upon the scene. 1t

casual observer, it might have come
straight from India. However, on its

found his Christmas present was most
beautifully modelled Of cardboard. An
amusing practical joke, but somewhat
expensive.

Overheard at the Movies.

His wife had severe headache,
and was sadly in need of quiet, so
husband said he would take their
small daughter to the movies, and for
her to retire early.
1t was all one to him, as he had not
consulted any program, and they en-
tered the first theater in their path
way, an unfortunate selection, for 1t
was one OF the sex-problem plays, the
principal characters uncongenial and
seemingly with good grounds for d.
vorce because of incompatibility.
The little maiden, after a time,
caused litter of laughter among the
audience near her by saying in shrill
little treble: "She doesn't seem to like
married life, does she, papa?"
The play proceeded and after an ap-
parently violent outburst Of temper on
the part of the feminine star, the little
girls voice again rent the air with:
Mamma acts just that way some
times, doesn't she, papa"

Great Waterspout.

Particulars are published In the Me-
neurological Magazine of great wa
terspout that correspondent OBJ
served south of Cape Comorin on a
day when the weather was fine and
the sea smooth. The waterspout
formed between russet-gray cloud
and the sea nearly five miles from the
ship. At first the distance between
the base of the cloud and the surface
Of the sea was 1900 feet. and the
width of the column tapered from 500
feet at its juncture with the cloud to
$50 feet at the sea. The vortex ap-
peared to be tube with tapering
sides and a central column. The walls
seemed to consist Of water moving
downward and the central column of
water ascending. The phenomenon
lasted for Is minutes; then the walls
appeared to ascend into the cloud.

CAMERA SHOWS UP DEFECTS
Why II Is Generally Necessary That
Photographs Of the Human Face
Be Retouched.

Why does photographer have to
fetouch his negatives before his Gus
toner is satisfied with the picture?
The eye of the camera sees things
differently from the human eye, al
though there are some lenses that so
diffuse the image that the harsh de-
tail is eliminated. These are the So
called "soft-focus" lenses. and photo
graphs made with them generally need
no extensive retouching.
II is the difference In seeing color
between the lens and the eye that is
largely responsible for retouching.
The rudy complexion, so suggestive
of good health, under the relentless
eye Of the camera may turn into dark
splotches, for red photographs dark.
The penetrating blue-violet rays are
those chiefly used in photography, and
these rays furnish the delicate model
ing" of form. The surface Of the skin
reflects these rays into the camera,
and all the Irregularities of the skin,
such as wrinkles, become more notice
able than when looked at with the
human eye, which sees mostly by the
red and orange, instead of the blue
violet rays caught by the eye of the
camera.-Popular Science Monthly.

HELPED TO CREATE NATION
Men Of the Pony Express and the Over.
land Stage Deserve Place on
Historys Page.

There recently died In Los Angeles,
William Gooding. reputed to be the last
of the famous pony express riders.
The present generation knows lit
tie about those pioneer times and the
wonderful way news was carried
across the continent during the ten
years Immediately prior to the build
ing of the Union and Southern Pacific
lines, which met at Promontory Point,
Utah, in 1868. Mail and newspapers
took from a month to fifty days to
cross the continent prior to the estab-
lishment Of the pony express, which
began its service April 16, 1859, re-
ducing the time to ten days. Relay
stations with change of mounts were
established at short distances, depend
ing upon the topography Of the coan-
try, and each rider would ride at top
speed from one to the other, change
horses in trice and go on. Human
endurance was pressed to the limit.
As an illustration of the speed made,
the last message OF President Blu
chanan to congress, in December, 1850,
was carried to San Francisco in eight
days and two hours. In 1863 the trans
continental telegraph line was COM
pleted and all news thereafter went by
wire, except such as the papers on the
coast clipped from eastern papers
which arrived by mail. When the rail-
roads were completed both the pony
express and the later overland stage
went into the discard, remaining, how
ever, on short tributary routes for
number of years, some for many
years. There are many tales told of
the daring and nerve of those hardy
and courageous drivers of the stages,
passing, as they did. fearlessly through
hostile Indian country and not infre-
quently suffering death at the hands
of war parties, in spite Of the efforts
made by the government to give them
military protection. These are of the
same character of tales which mark
the progress of American civilization,
from Plymouth Rock to Seal Rocks, in
subduing the wilderness and creating
great nation.

TENANT FINDS BURIED MONEY
And Now Court Must Pick the Owner
Of Treasure Discovered Hid
den In Jars.

Rumors Of the finding Of great
treasure in the old Holland house here
have been confirmed by the filing of
suit in the Fayette county circuit
court by the administrators of the Hol-
land estate against dozen defend
ants alleged to have shared in the d.
vision Of the treasure, which amount
ed to $21, 1000, says a dispatch from
Nuttallburg, w. Va, to the Pittsburgh
Dispatch. Attachments were served
on 80 banks In the surrounding sec
ton, where the money is believed to
have been deposited.
The story of the treasure reads like
romance. In the sixties William Hol-
land, veteran of the Crimean war, came
to this country from England and set
tied in the Pennsylvania coal fields. In
1872 he came to Kenneys creek and
began the development of kiln. He
built. a home here in 1885, where he
resided until his death in 1918.
He was an eccentric character, and
none of his family knew of his habit
of hiding money. He died suddenly
of heart failure. After Hollands
death the home passed into the hands
of William Nelson, superintendent of
the coal company, who began repairs
and reconstruction. The gold was
found in different Jars at different
times.

WHAT THEY DO WITH BONUS
Seventy Per Cent of Minneapolis Men
Increase or Open New Saw
ings Accounts.

What do ex-service men do with
their bonus money received from the
various states?
Some persons opposed to handing
out cash to the men either by the
states or nation, give as their greatest
argument that the beneflciaries will
squander the. money foolishly as soon
as they get 1t.
But the experience Of the Wells
Dickey Trust company of Minneapolis
which firm has been instrumental in
advancing $2,265,0 900 to ex-service men
through special arrangement with the
bonus board, completely Overturns this
conjecture. Figures just compiled by
the cashier Of the trust company show
that of the 1924 claims handled by
the bank for Minneapolis men, 20 per
cent of the men increased their own
accounts and 20 per cent opened saw
ings accounts ut once.

GOOD CHEER AT WHITE HOUSE
President Hardlns,s Reported Bill of
Fare Certainly Smacks Of Demo-

II is said that the Harding White

This smacks of democratic simplicity

The state breakfast and the diplo-

But, allowing for the prophecies Of
state banquets and the like, there Is

POULTRY
CACKLES
MAKE SURE EGGS ARE FRESH
Method Generally Employed by Com.
mission Houses for Purpose 10
Known as "candring."

When supplying fancy trade with
eggs, or on receiving eggs from outside
sources, 1t is often desirable to deter
mine their freshness. The method
generally used by commission mer-
chants for this purpose is known as
Gambling" and consists in holding
the egg between the eye and light
so as to note the contents. This
should be done in a darkened room,
using one of the egg testers on the
market or simple homemade tester.
The air space in a perfectly fresh
egg is very small, and as the egg loses
part of its contents by evaporation
this air space increases in size with
the age of the egg. Fresh eggs should
appear clear and bright, showing no
dark spots. Those accustomed to
Gambling" soon learn to detect stale
eggs with good degree of accuracy
and rapidity.
Another method employed by some
who have not great number to test
is to put the eggs in basin of water.
If good they will lie on their sides; If
bad they will stand on the small ends.
The older the egg the more upright
it stands, and if very old 1t will be
suspended In the water or even float
on the surface.

New Airplane.

Builders of the "bat-wing" airplane
have designed the new craft to over
come the resistance of struts, wires
and fuselage that in the usual type
of machine consumes almost three
quarters of the engine power. The
new design, says Popular Mechanics
Magazine, is a great double cambered
airfoil that terminates at right and
left In the conventional ailerons and
that tapers in the rear to tail that
has the usual elevator and rudder.
The aerofoil measures 100 feet from
tip to tip and swells in the front to a
thickness of seven feet. In that bulge
is a cabin 80 feet long, eight feet wide
and six feet in height. The new plane
is an internally trussed cantilever
structure covered with wood veneer
so tough that the wing surfaces can
be walked upon.
