Filings at Chamberlain Failing Of.

Filings at Chamberlain Falling off,
Az was expected, there was a falling
off in the number OF filings at the Cham
berlain land office during the month Of
July. The total number OF new settlers
who filed upon lands in the coded Sioux
country during the month was 81. This
is a good record considering that during
the month OF July the farmers are the
busiest and less able to leave their East
ern homes in search OF free government
lands in the West. From all accounts
the rush for homes in the ceded Sioux
lands will be OF larger volume this fall
than during the past spring. As soon as
the Eastern farmers are through harvest
ing the rush will commence, and will con-
tinue until snow flies and puts a stop to
the influx. The total number oil filings
at the Chamberlain land Office since the
LIST OF January OF the present year-lor
lands west OF the Missouri %river-has been
1.O08, disposing of 1920 acres o
