FIXING The TIME OF OPENING
Quotations From the Law
Setting Forth the Time
Eor Opening KioWa
Reservation.

We are often asked when will
the Kiowa and Comanche reser-
vation open. In answer to this
we do no more than quote from
the law passed by the last con
gress and approved by the Presi-
dent June 6, 1900. That law
says:
That all allotments of said land
shall be made under the direction
of the Secretary of the Interior to
said Indians within ninety days
from the passage of this Act, sub
iect to the exceptions contained
in article fuor of said treaty; pro
vided, That the time for making
allotments shall in no event be-
extended beyond six months from
passage of this Act.
Another question that is often
asked us: Will townsiles be
established and surveyed when
the land is opened for settle
ments. In answer TO this we
again quote the law.
"When said allotments Of land
shall have been selected and TAX
en- as aforesaid and approved by
the Secretary of the Interior, the
titles thereto shall be held in
trust for the allottees, respective
ly. for the period of twenty five
years, in the time and manner and
to the extent provided for in the
act of congress entitled Gan act

WELL WATERED.

The LANDS outside OF the mountains are
undulatIng prairie, well watered with iiy-
iuv streams Of water Is found by digging at
depths Of twenty 10 thirty feet. All the
streams bear more or ess fringe Of tim
ber, while large areas are covered with a
growth Of mesquite trees, timber which
make good fence pests and 1. excellent
fuel. Other sections and some streams bear
a growth Of timber large enough TO saw into
lumber. Any or all Of these timber lands
are productive, and will make line farms.
By an act Of congress approved June 8,
I9(s, the above reservation l. TO be opened
10 settlement. On the north side Of this
reservation j. another known ss the Wichita
reservation, which may lie included at the
sane time, but tins Is noi yet known. The
law opening the reservation, provides that
the allotments .hall be made in from three
10 six months, and makes it abe duty OF the
President TO issue q proclamation opening
the country within six months after the al
lotment. are made. 1t is not likely that
the President will take the six months, and
and he may issue his proclamation immedi-
cteIy after the allotments are made. Thus
It may be seen the lands may lie open at any
time from the early spring to summer OF

There need be no doubt Of the product
iyeness Of these lands. They have been
tired In every quar,er with result that has
produced % to 30 bushels OF wheat, and 40

have been raised by farfflers living on In

Cache creek, Beaver and other streams are
more or less cultivated every year, and al
ways give good returns. Tee uplands are
productive Of all cereals, and afford the fin
est grazing in the world.
The lands to be opened to white settle
ment, aster the Indian has taken his allot-
ment. will give comes TO nearly 10000 fami-
lies. The price Of these lands will be Sl.25

THE GRIPPING OF THE SHAMROCK
INTERESTING FACTS REGARDING
HER ALTERATIONS.

The silence which had be observed by all con-
nected with the sailing of the Shamrock has since
been broken by of the discharged members of
the crew. and new and interesting information has
been obtained TO the alterations that were made
on the challenging yacht before she sailed in her
last two contests. 1t will be remembered that the
Columbia won the first completed race and that In
the second the topmast of the Shamrock broke al
lowing the Columbia to second time. Then
the challenger went to the drydock be measured
again, after she had put in nearly two tons more
of lead ballast
1t is now reported by the Clyde correspondent of
Boston paper, as coming from members of the dis
charged crew, that at this time in addition to
other alterations in the ballast trim of the boat
an attempt was made to throw the centre of effort
back by raking the mast. For this purpose a heavy
jackscrew was taken aboard and braced against
the FOOT or the mast to force 1t forward This
was found to be impossible and the best thar couId
then be done was TO remove the wedges from the
after side OF the mast at the deck When these
were removed and additional wedges put in at the
forward side the spar was set back one inch at the
deck. This inch of slope when continued IN tho
topmast mead is said to have made considerable
Frank Wood. the builder of fast yachts at CITY
fs!dhu says on a rough calculation, that the diff
terence would be the placing of about seventy-five
square feet of canvas further aft. Wood says:
can take the best of them and alter her rim and
she will never win again" The Clyde correspond
ment may, in the light of subsequent events we'll
De doubted Taken In connection with the fact
m er speed these remarks worthy of attention
Before the shamrock's topmast was carried away
mere were three uncompleted races. in one of
which the challenger finished at the time limit nm
mistakably ahead. and in two other uncompleted
contests she was reported to have finished ahead
though the boats here withdrew practically even
terms. In the second race the Columbia won the
challenger was, while sailing in a fresh breeze in
position to cross ahead when her topmast snapped
out Ihis shows that in number of uncompieted
contests there little to choose between the
abilities of the two boats, far as these per-
formances exhibited their powers But after tba
alterations were made to the Shamrock's ballast
ing trim, the mast being raked aft at the same
time, she seems to have been made into different
