posed Opening Of Lands
Ediloy Sunday Globe,
Il is stated at the Office of the Secretary
ofthe interior that the announcement which
has been made that the Fort Hall Indian
reservation In Idaho would be opened ON
the old sooner system was premature and
without authority. While the preparations
have been iu course for some time for the
opening, the Secretary will not permit it TO
occur with the old.time rush He is known
TO have decided that there will be no more
of these ''rushes' during his administration
with their accompanying scenes of blood
shed, disorder and riot The Secretary will
act in devsing special plans for openings
where authority In law exists Where no
such authority is already In existence he
win hold mp the openings and ask Congress
for legislation. The day of the old horse
