They Are On United States
 Soil Now, Too

BRECKENRIDGE, Co1o., Aug. g. Today the United States added approximately 2,000 miles of terri tory to Uncle Sam's possessions when Gov. Edward c. Johnson of Colorado at colorful ceremonies raised the Stars and Stripes over this much discussed area around Breckenridge and took possession in the name of the United States.
 It has been discovered that this area had not been included in the Louisiana Purchase, nor had it been mentioned in the ceding of Spanish California territory in l845; neither had it been included when Texas was annexed in the same year. In fact, no mention is made of it in any past treaty or charter Therefore, previous to to- day, it's residents had not been liv- ing in the United States, the Goy- ernor pointed. out.
 Thousands of visitors flocked to Breckenridge to witness the unusual ceremonies which authorities said will be the last of their kind ever to take place in continental United States.
