MAY REMOVE TO ST. PAUL.
Report That Accounting Department q
q. ~. Coast Lines VIII Close.


1t is reported that the accounting de-
partment of the Great Northern coast lines
is TO be removed to headquarters at st.
Paul on October l. The report runs tina.
the step is to be taken as measure of
economy. as the work can be done with q
smaller force than by maintaining
separate Office here. The auditing of
freight accounts has already been trans-
ferred to headquarters, involving the Drop
ping of two men here. and all the other
business in the department Is likely to be
done there also.
J. l.. Cramer, the accountant, was asked
what truth there was in the report, but he
refused to say anything on the subject.
The office now employs eight persons,
who would either be transferred to St.
Paul or thrown out of employment, in
case the change was made. The Great
Northern would then be represented here
only by General Manager Shelby, the
operating department of the coast lines
and the local freight and passenger offices.

Everything is ready for the presi-
dent to issue his proclamation
opening the Cherokee strip to settle
ment. The last formalities were
complied with a few days ago,
when Chief Bushyhead, of the
Cherokee nation notified the gem
eral land office that the Cherokees
had selected their allotments.
Each Cherokee is entitled to eighty
acres at the same price that settlers
are required to pay.
The regulations which govern
the opening of the strip viii differ
materially from those under which
Oklahoma was thrown open to the
public on April %, 1889. The ser
vice Of the United States marshals
will be dispense with, and the war
department has received orders
to send troops enough to
the strip to preserve the peace
and see that the regulations
are carried out Cavalry is now
reported to be moving forward to-
ward the strip from Forts Supply
and Reno.
A neutral strip ore hundred feet
wide will be drawn along the Kan
sas and Oklahoma sides of the
lands to be opened, and On the day
of opening homesteaders and sett-
lers will be allowed to come within
it's lines with their horses and con-
veyances.

TO PREVENT FRAUDS.


To prevent speculation and
fraud, an ingenious method has
been adopted. Booths will be
erected on both sides of the strip
and land office clerks placed in
charge several days prior to the
day of the opening. Every home
steader will be required to go to
one of these booths and file a dec
laration of his intention to take up
land under the terms of the proc
lamation. He will receive GER
tifcate, which he will be required
to hold until his selection is made.
When he has selected his land he
is then obliged to go to & land
Office and surrender his certificate.

LAND ENOUGH FOR $4,000.

There are altogether 100000
acres of land to be opened. Of
these one-third, or 100000 acres,
are arid land, unfit for settlement,
leaving 100000 available for
homestead purposes. There will
be seven county towns i'll the strip,
covering 800 acres each; four sec
tons are reserved in each township
for school and other purposes; the
Cherokee allotments, referred to
above, must be deducted, aud other
small reservations are made not
subject to public entry; leaving in
all about 8, 100000 acres available
for settlement. Each homesteader
may ta.. go acres. Not counting
those who take town lots, there will
be land enough for about $4,000
persons to make selections, and
with the town lot squatters, alto
gether not exceeding $4,000.

SEVEN NEW TOWNS.

A corps of surveyors to lay out
the new towns left Washington on
Monday. The location of the
towns are a secret, to all save three
men, who are pledged to absolute
silence. These men are Secretary
Hoke Smith, Land Commissioner
Lamoreaux and the chief platter
in the land Office here. Even the
engineers are kept in ignorance OF
the location until they arrive on
the scene.
The land office has decided to
make the seven new towns in the
strip as attractive as possible.
They will be laid out with 60-foot
streets and 20-foot sidewalks for
parking, and so acres in each will
be reserved for parks and county
court houses.

SPECIMEN sQUATTERs.

At Guthrie, Okla, a bicycle club
has been organized, and the mem
bers have been in training some
time to engage in the great rush
for cheap lands. Many of the
homesteaders who have been living
on the border of the strip for year
or more have built small shanty
houses on their wagons, in which
they have been living. Every
claimant of a quarter section must
indicate his claim in some man
ner. Some will thrust a stick into
the ground to indicate their posses
sion, but the true homesteaders
will drive straight upon their claim
when the race is on, and comply
with the legal formality by simply
sliding their impromptu houses
from their wagons and beginning
housekeeping then and there. It Is
next to impossible TO dislodge that
kind of squatter.-[ Philadelphia
