For the purpose of (listing Mabel

Slant a ri hearing of the appeal, fol
lowing he recent decision of that
tribunal reversing the order of the
lower court and holding the "third

The plaintiffs allege that this mo
tion is but a move on the part of
Mrs. Warner to delay the final set

profits of the crop which is estimat

further allege, tnat unless she be re

Claimants Will Carry Case to th
United States Court Decision la
Final, So Far a Department of In
terior Is Concerned, Says-Fisher.
Washington, June 26. Cancellation
of all the Cunningham coal lands In
Alaska, the fight over which cost
Secretary Ballinger his job, was today-
ordered by Commissioner Dennett
of the general land office, with the
approval of Secretary of the Inter
ior Fisher.
It Is said that this action will for
ever frustrate the Morgan-Guggenheim
scheme to grab the coal fields
of Alaska as the lands will be re
stored to the public domain and be
immediately opened for re-entry.
Former Chief Forester Pinchot and
his friends are jubilant. They con
sider the action justifies the fight
that was made against Ballinger.
The Cunningham claimants say they
will carry the case to the United
States supreme court in an effort t
retain their hold on the properties.
The government decided that it has
been clearly shown that the Morgan
Guggenheim syndicate had an op
tion to finance and take over the de
velopment of the valuable coal lands.
Thisrit Is alleged was to be brought
about through a five milion dollar
corporation that was not ratified by
a majority of the claimants.
Secretary Fisher said the decision
is final as far as the interior depart
ment is concerned and It was the
intention of the department now ta
proceed to a final determination In
the matter of the remaining Alaskan
coal claims, now under dispute.
Law Unwise, But Protects.
Secretary Fisher said: "1 don't
believe the present law,' made appli
cable to the Alaskan coal lands Is wise
or practicable.
"Nevertheless, there are provisions
that must be enforced. First because
they are law; second because they
afford the only protection against the
abuse of monopoly and unrestricted
private exploitation.
"Claims are pending which are en
titled to patents and I see no justifi
cation for not acting upon them a
promptly as the department can be

with t no state fish and game commis
sion but their recommendation will
be largely instrumental in determin
ing the action of the commission.
The only condition upon which they
are as yet unable to report is that of
the temperature of the water as no
statUtlcs on this matter could be ob
tained. However, observations will
be made end both men expressed the
belief th it the water would bo found
of satisfactory temperature.
"If the water Is found too warm,"
said Mr. Clanton, "the pools can be
deepened to overcome this bad fea
ture. Warm water is conductive to
disease nnd every precaution must be
aken to prevent disease from getting
among Uie fry."
Transportation Is Factor.
"Gibbon is especially well adapted
for a hatchery," he went on to say,
"because of its transportation facili
ties which is a very necessary quali
fication. Food could be sent up each
day from Pendleton and the feeding
Is an Important factor. The small fry
are first fed on liver but afterwards
salt food, such as the offals from ani
mals, salt smelt and salmon, Is used.
Fish require a great ileal of food and
enormous quantities are used. Last
winter. 50 tons of offals and 10 torn
of smelt were salted down for use."
It is not the intention at present,
according to the wardens, to place
brood trout In the proposed hatchery
at Gibbon but in the future pools may
be made for that purpose. The plan
now is to ship In the pec", batch
them nt Gibbon nnd keep tho fry un
til they are three inches in length be
