A FREE GIFT TO SETTLERS
Free Homestead Bill Is Passed by
the Senate.
That Body Broadens the Effect OF
the House Biii---About Thirty
Three Million Acres are
Involved.

Washington, Jan. 16.- To the surprise
OF many who have been closely observ-
ing the trend of legislation in relation
10 Indian lands. the senate passed the
easur known as the free homestead
bill" late yesterday afternoon.
II is a measure OF far reaching inn
portance, particularly 10 the west, n
the interest in Ii was shown by the fact
that a plank concerning IL was a fea-
ture Of the several national platforms.
The effect Of h blu viii be TO open 10
settlement ALI public lands acquired
from Indians free of any payment to
the government beyond the minor Of
fee fees and TO release from payment
those who have heretofore settled on
these lands. The number of acres in
volved. according 70 an estimate made
by the Commissioners Of the general a
office, Is 80. 252 Sal, which would have
yielded the government. at the prices
heretofore established, $35,343, 006. To
offset this settlement, II vas brought
out during the debate that the lands
were mainly arid and that those who
had settled upon them were unable to
make payments by reason OF the scanty
products Of the soil. The western sen
ators In the main favored the bill as an
extension Of the general homestead pol
icy Of the government. The opposition
was directed mainly by Senate Platt
OF Connecticut n Senator Villas OF
Wisconsin. AS the bill passed in the
house It covered only the lands acquired
from Indians Ia Oklahoma, but az
passed yesterday the bill includes all
Indian lands. The final vote showed a
decisive majority In favor OF the MIA

salaries Earned by successful Buyers

A good buyer who year after year in
creases his business and the reputation
OF his department, who leaves for the
semi-annual inventory a clean and de-
sirable stock-one who. In fact. has the
genius OF money m~aking-is paid a sal
airy in he big houses Of from $4,000 TO
$l0,0 900, n often a percentage on the
yearly increase Of his sales. In some OF
the largest departments a number OF
the most capable buyers thus receive as
much as $500 a year, and are regard
ed as cheap at that-a fact which can
be readily understood when IL Is re-
membered that In a single department
OF a great shop selling say a million
dollars worth OF goods a year., a differ.
ence of 5 per cent in the profits, which
may be the result Of a good manager as
distinguished from a mediocre one,
amounts 10 $50, 900. On the other hand,
in the lower class stores, buyers in many
of the departments are paid as low as
s25 per week, with no percentage. If the
large incomes are the great exception,
IL is also TO be said that the opportuni-
ties are more numerous than the men
with the ability to take advantage OF
them.
