Nez Perez Reservation.

-
The Lewiston correspondent OF the
Spokane Review gives the following in
teresting information in regard TO the
opening of the Nez Perez reservation
1t is generally believed now That the
Neg Perez reservation will not be thrown
open in way to cause scramble and
a test of prowess as was he Oklahoma
domain. Private adyices and public
utterances indicate some other moue OF
procedure. A sort of lottery scheme
seems to be under consideration in Wash
ington city. This plan was suggested
by r. j. Monroe, Of this city, who was
receiver of the United States land Office
in this district when the first bill was
introduced to open the reservation land
to public entry From the beginning
the lottery plan received favorable notice
from the press Harper's Weekly early
last summer noticed Mr.. Monroe's rec
ommen1ation, aud some other eastern
papers endorsed the adoption of any
plan that would insure against the scenes
and deeds SO unbecoming civilized
people which ensued after the signal to
begin the race for land in Oklahoma.
From the letters which are coming to
every public man in this city 1t Is eVi-
DENT that people want facts concerning
the opening of this reservation. The
price and the manner OF payment seem
to be a subject Ct interest to intending
settlers. The law fixes the price of
farming land at 1915 per acre. One
half of this sum is to be paid at the ex-
piration Of two years, and the balance
when patent is issued. And it is the
opinion of the best legal authority here
that the settlers may commute under the
rules prescribed fer homesteaders on the
public lands, upon the payment OF So 80
per acre instead Of &l26. The early
drafts Of the bill would not have per
mflued communication, but an omission
in the rider which was attached to the
Indian appropriation bill leaves TINT
section Of tho old homes cad law in full
force. The fact is held to be an adyan-

people seams very high, but when the
fact Is known that Indian allottments
have a rental value of about Sd an acre
year for identically the same class of
land, the price will be considered very
low. The wheat farmers this year have
paid 81 an acre, but may not realize
profit owing to the low price OF grain
In any event, however, the choice land
of the Nez Perce reservation will have a
yearly rental value that will secure the
fortunate locator free farm at the end
Of the term quoted to make his pay
ments.
The public is very much interested IN
any facts about the time the reservation
is to be opened This is matter of
some speculation. However there can
be ne object for prolonging the Time.
The money to pay the Indians has been
appropriated, so that retention would
not even be economy, and besides the
law provides for the payment to be
made me year from the date of the pas
sage of the bill, This, it is ar ued, will
hasten the first payment, as the first
must come before the second. Really 1t
seems that the department work of list
ing and registration of the Indians en-
titled to dividends should cause the only
delay in completing the purchase of the
land. After the title is vested in the
government the proclamation will surely
follow soon. The register Of the land
office in Spokane informs the public that
the surveys are so nearly complete that
no delay will necessarily result from that
department of the work. IT, is conceded
that the reservation Will be opened in the
early spring.

A MIGHTY SUNFISH.

Grand Capture OF One whi,, Weigh
ed Nearly u Ton.
A fishing party of seven, under the
charge Of Alex Mathison, were recently
some five miles off the coast of Redon
do in the sloop Helen after barracuda.
One of their number saw floating in the
water what first was taken for young
whale. On approaching the object it
was discovered to be a large sunfish
lying on it's side, evidently e1.joying the
sunlight On the nearer approach Of
the party the monster dived beneath
the boat, coming to the surface a few
yards on the other side. The boat was
turned and bore down on it once more,
In its efforts to escape the fish was
struck by the bow of the beat and
thrown upon its side
The opportunity was seized tC. throw
a Jewish hook into it's mouth. Gain
ing its equilibrium the gigantic fish sped
away, the reel humming with the $50
fathoms of line carried with it, Then
came battle royal between the great
ocean rover and the fishermen After
long maneuvering rope was made fast
under it's fins and attached to the mast.

enormous fish made to escape Finally,
under the pressure of sail and by the
exhaustion of its own efforts, it was

The fish is a magnificent specimen
of its kind, measuring eleven feet from
the dorsal to the anal fin, eight feet
two inches in length, and weighed in
the neighborhood Of 1900 pounds
When the fact is considered that this
is the largest specimen of it's species

Women Dealers in Real Estate.
LUCKY real estate speculations are
not confined to men in Pittsburg," said
real estate agent yesterday. ''There
is one lady in this city who has built
and sold more houses in the last three
or four years than any one else in the
business. She seems most fortunate in
her speculations, and often when 9TH
ers, who consider themselves better
versed in property, have advised her
not to make a venture, she has gone
against them, following her own judg-
ment, and, strangely enough, has al
ways succeeded. She has never been
known to make a losing deal, and her
reputation for good sound judgment
has caused many persons anxious to in
vest in dirt and bricks about the city
to consult her. I know of another very
lucky woman who is making much
money in real estate deals. She is a
typewriter on Fourth avenue, and
started specializing by selling some lots
which were left her by a relative. With
this money she bought other property.
This she sold at an increase, and so
she went on buying and selling until
to-day she has nearly $4,000 to her
credit. This sum she has amassed in
three years, with no capital to start
with but two lots worth, possibly,
5000. There are many other like in
stances of lucky women in Pittsburg."

Horses Mt Present.

But few farmers will readily part
with their best horses this spring.
With the dull times, however, some
have thought that it does not pay to
feed or even Craze the ordinary colt for
another year and are disposed to sell
at a sacrifice. This spirit tends only to
lower values still more. If it is the pre-
vailing sentiment in a community the
result is to cause owners to think less
Of their best horses. For two years
past, interest in farm stock has declin-
ed and has it would seem, now reach
ed the lowest mark. Confidence in the
future and in improved stock are the
only things which will now advance
prices.
All farm stock is much depressed and
it appears that there is as good pros
poets for the horse trade several years
from now as for any animals. Other
stock when ready for market must be
sold whatever the prices at the time,
for fatted animals are held at loss.
The good horse on the other hand can
pay part if not all Of his keep with
work. This training will add to his
value whether sold at home or in a dis
tant market In the hands of a skilled
horseman promising brood mares may
now be of greater value than any other
domestic animals. To almost any farm
er the choice mare is worth much more
than is now offered for her il bred with
care and her produce judiciously hand
led. Try to obtain the best in blood
and individuality

Egg-Eatin9 by Fowls.

Egg-eating hens are often the result
Of a habit formed by having access to
broken eggs, though In other cases
the habit comes from an mate hunger
born Of the lack Of proper food ele-
ments containg the nitrogen and the
phosphate and eat the eggs to obtain.
them.
The Poultry Yard says: The habit
CT egg-eating by the hen is, at times,
a very serious one with which to deal,
though never have been troubled with
1t but once, and then for a short time
only. AS T breed no fowls but Part
ridge Cochins, I presume I am not
troubled as much as those who breed
the smaller kinds of fowls, for think
the Asiatics are not so apt to acquire
the habit in question as are the smaller
breeds, for the former are generally
possessed of a quiet disposition, while
the latter, especially the Leghorns, are
very active.
AS preventives are better than cure,
[ will suggest few which: I practice.
According to my judgement the habit
OF egg-eating is oftenest formed by hay
ing soft or thin-shelled eggs laid in the
nest These are almost sure to be brok-
en- by the hen while on the nest, and
she will be very apt to eat the broken
egg. Then, first, feed your hens shells,
meats and such variety of food that
all the eggs will be likely to have
hard shells.
Occasionally there is hen that never
lays other than soft-shelled eggs, and
she will soon acquire the habit of eat
Ing eggs. The best remedy for such an
egg-eater is to give your hens plenty
of work, especially the smaller breeds,
for Satin finds some mischief still for
idle hands to do" Strew thicl]y over
the hen house floor, or small yards,
leaves from the woods, or chaff from
the hay loft, in which scatter wheat,
oats, screenings or the coarser parts Of
cracked corn. To find the food thus
scattered, and partly hidden, will give
the hens capital employment during
the close confinement Of the winter
time and is most excellent to keep them
out Of mischief.

The newsboys will always be with
us, but it seems that the days of the
festive bootblack are numbered, says
the Indianapolis Journal. Machines

in the hotels, depots and at all the
prominent street corners Of the cities
Of the land, have been tried, but they
did not meet with the success that was
anticipated for them. These machines
were loaded every morning with the
latest editions Of the leading ncwspa-
pcrs, and were so arranged that they
would give out a paper and the cor
rect change but they were, of nee essity,
very expensive, owing to the compli-
Gated machinery. and the busy public,
having become accustomed to look upon
such contrivances as the mere dispcns-
ers OF cheap chewing gum and cheap
chocolates, did not take to the idea,
and it has now been practically aban-
doned. Then man always wants to
see the date of a paper before he pays
Tor 1t. Why this is remains a mystery
when he knows that news stands and
newsboys could not afford any more
than any other dealers to f1ograntly
impose upon the public and expect to
retain their customers, but, neverthe-
less, he will always assure himself
of the date of a newspaper before he
puts down his coppers, although he
will stop at the grocery and order sew
eral dollars worth Of provisions with
out ever even thinking to look at the
freshness Of the butter or other COM
modities. Old butter and old eggs are
not Of very much more use than an old
newspaper.
But the bootblack will soon be almost
relic of the past. Those now in the
business will soon grow up and pro-
mote themselves into more dignitied
canings, and by that time there won't
be enough in the business to encourage
the coming generation. This has been
all caused by the new practice that has
become more and more general every
day among the shoe dealers, to main
tain in their establishment chairs for
the benefit Of their customers. Each is

eral stores in indianapolis have adopted
this system and with the greatest sue
cess. This will soon cause the other
shoe dealers to establish free polishing
chairs, and the practice will in a short
time be general. After one store starts
in the rest will have to follow suit
to protect themselves. OF course there
will be seen an occasional bootblack
upon the streets, but he will look very
lonely. Then, too, some boys will be
required for the stores, but they will
soon develop into excellent clerks, and
the only remains of the old-fashioned
bootblack will be at the hotels, and his
trade will be almost entirely restrict
ed to the travelling men and the Sun
day work.
