VICTORY LOOKS LIKELY
This Is Opinion Of Western Con- gressman Who Has Reviewed Re- publican Sentiment.

Chicago, Sept. 1S,-Prospects for a victory for the Coolidge-Dawes ticket in the Pacific northwest are better now than were the indications of republican victory in that scc- ton at corresponding stage of the 1920 campaign, Representative All bert Johnson of Washington asserted today.
 Representative Johnson, assigned to a post In the national speakers bureau at republican headquarters, will devote most of his time hence forth to the national campaign.
 "The sentiment of sober-minded people throughout the northwest is swinging more and more to Presf- dent Coolidge" he said. T have just completed campaign tour in my own state and I have brought to Mir. Butler, the national chairman, word that the republican endeavor in Washington and Oregon at the pres ent time Is more promising of suc- cess for the national ticket than was the very successful campaign Of 1920 at corresponding stage.
 The presidents declaration for common sense in government has gripped the popular fancy. It has won the allegiance of thoughtful men and women everywhere"

 Reports received here from Shan haikwan did not tell of the damage done by the bombers, but raid from the air could be expected to damage the defending armies.
 Shanhaikwan, located midway be- tween Picking and Mukden, divides Chihu Province from Manchuria' It contains gate in the Chinese wall known to antiquity as "the first gate of the realm," a barrier which occupied the most important position in ancient defenses.
 The surprise element in the ap- pearance of planes and the heavy concentration of Mukden and Peklng forces today shifted the scene Of in terest from Shanghai, where rival Tuchuns are fighting for possession of that city, to the Cbihlian-Man- churian border, where General Chang Tso-Lin. Nanchurian war lord, will attempt to wrest from the Picking administration control of the government of all China by invading Chihli province where Picking is To- cated.

GREAT CARE IN
HANDLING BRAKES

The upkeep and endurance Of an
automobile is entirely up to the car
owner. In proper tion as intelligent
manipulation and care are used so is
the life of the car heightened.
For instance. when going down hill,
keeping the brakes applied when it is
not necessary causes the brakes to
burn and lose their resistance. Again,
shifting the gears before the clutch
stops revolving does damage. Stopping
the car suddenly or starting with a
jerk are things that will soon reduce
car value and hurry it to the junk
pile.
Hardly trip is made that the driv-
er does not smell burnt brake lining,
either on his or someone else's car.
This is noticed especially on steep
grades.
Burning brakes can be avoided, no
matter what condition of the road.
Moreover, it is neither safe nor econom-
ical to retard the car with its brakes
when descending hill. Leave the car
in high gear and if compression does
not retard it enough, shift to second
or first as the case may be. This will
hold the car back with little or no
wear on the engine.
Some car drivers shut off the iRni-
tion when leaving the engine in gear
going down hill, believing 1t saves
gas and also holds the car back better.
This is mistake. The butterfly valve
in the carbureter is always open
enough when the throttle is closed to
permit the engine to idle Therefore
when the engine turns over it sucks up
gas into the explosion chambers. IF
the ignition is off and the gas not ig-
nited the gas accumulates in the ex-
haust pipe and loads the muffler with
fumes When the ignition is turned
on again this gas ignites all at once,
possibly causing an explosion which
blows the muffler to pieces.
Leave the ignition on under all road
conditions and save gas in 20 doing.

Coal and Oil Applications
Constitute Considerable
Business Here
OFFICE RANKS HIGH

The business in the local land office,
located in the federal building in this
city, has been exceedingly good the
past year. The Post learned upon in
quiry from Register Walter Spencer
and Receiver Chas. S. Merrill, who are
kept busy in serving the people who
are interested in Uncle Sans public
domain.
The U. 8. land office at Glenwood
was authorized July 3, 1884, and es-
tablished November 10, 1884, and will
therefore be 40 years old next Novem-
ber. The office ministers to large
territory, and is perhaps the most i'm
portant land office in Colorado.
The area of public lands in the
Glenwood Springs land district, sub
iect to entry, the end of the fiscal
year, was as follows, by counties:
Eagle, 1918; Garfield, ,695; Mesa,
1sO,S55; Moffat, 999,O35; Pitkin, 49,
43O; Rio Blanco, 7so,354; Routt, 49,
5s3, or total for the district Of
2,744,0s acres.
The total acreage subject to entry
in the entire United States is 129,906,
$50 acres, while in all of Colorado the
total acreage available and subject to
entry is 6,131,3 ,339 acres, SO it will be
seen that more than third of the
government land acreage Of Colorado
is administered from the Glenwool
Springs land office.
The Glenwood office is one Of SO
offices having sufficient business to
justify the appointment Of both re-
ceiver and register, and besides, It EN-.
ploys four clerks, and all are kept
busy, and one Of 16 whose fees and
commissions exceed the expenses Of
the office. There are "a federal land
offices in the United States, and the
Glenwood office stands fifth in the
volume Of business transacted last
year.
The number of final proofs acted
upon during the year, 66s; number Of
applications for land received, not in.
cluding leases or permits, 7s4; number
Of coal applications received, 81; oil
and gas applications, 3o2, covering al
together about 525, 900 acres.
The financial record for the office
for the year Is a. follows: Oil royal
ties collected, &4,11s.9e; coal royalties
collected, $e,736.54- number Of acrel
Of shale land sold during the year
12,145; total receipts for shale land
sold during the year, 4so, o,sea.5o; tota
, receipts for year 1898, ~75,s54.o1.
This is a splendid record, and speak
well for the ability Of Register spen
Ger and Receiver Merrill and thei'
clerical force, and the orderly ant
prompt manner in whish they handl'
the business that comes before them
and indicates the value Of this offic'
to our community.

During the past year s. L. Meadows
has shipped from his lime quarry
north of the city to the factories of
the Holly Sugar corporation at Grand
Junction and Delta, over six thousand
tons Of lime rock which is used by
the factories in clarifying beet sugar.
While the process of blasting down
the apparently worthless mass from
the mountain and loading on cars may
appear of little consequence, it never

which helps little toward the general
prosperity of the community.
