SPECIAL TRAIN TOMORROW.
Last week the Oregon Short Line
officials We're inundated with requests
for special trains and engines 10 taxa
parties to the scene OF the filing. Az
ter due consideration the officials de-
clded to turn them all down on the
grounds that such trains or engines
would be giving the parties hiring them
an altogether unfair and unjust ad-
vantage
by way Of a compromise, however.
Gen. Passenger Agenut ID. Il. Burley AZ
6 o'clock Saturday evening sent the fol-
lowing bulletin to MoCammon. Poca-
tello and other points interested:
Short Line have had numerous appD-
cations to charter trains or engines for
the purpose OF making run from
different points on the reservation to
Blackfoot on June IL, but In order In
treat all persons fairly, have found
II necessary 20 decline all such re-
quests; but 10 accommodate the people
and put all on equality, have decided
10 "a
1880 TO Blackfoot. This train viii leave
MeCammon at 1880 D. m. on Tuesday.
June IL. stopping at nixon and Poca-
tello, reaching Blackfoot about p. m.
Passengers from McCammon and Poca-
tello should procure their tickets on
the day previous 10 opening In order
to avoid delay TO train. Conductors will
be provided with tickets to sell 10 par
ties taking train at lnkom. Kindly
give this as much publicity as posi-
bic, and obllge.'
LOCOMOTIVE VS. HoRsEFLEsH.
This will mean a very interesting
race between the railroad and relay
horsemen. Mr. Burley this morning
stated that the train would be put
through In record time, and then the
race would be decidedly interesting.
The men who prefer 10 trust to horse
flesh In place Of the railroad have re-
lays OF horses stationed six miles apart
with the assistance Of the Indians who
are IN the scheme for value received.
The Pocatelo Tribune says
''The squatters on Marsh Greek had
hoped to secure special train but this
hope Is thus nipped In the bud. II Is
not probable however, that anyone
Will attempt 10 encroaeh upon the
rights of these Is or 20 men who have
been permitted to make homes on the
reservation. They have lived there
from IS TO 30 years and II would not
be healthy for anyone to try TO take
from them the lands which the gov
eminent has permitted them TO i'm
prove and make homes on. II Is GER
tain that there Is going to be a great
scramble for lands. Pocatelo Is full
Of people who want some and many
more are camped all around the reser-
walton boundary. Almost every 0rf has
some particular polnt in view for which
they will make O n as soon as the
hour Of noon come
WILL BIZ \ SCRAMBLE.
II Is pretty certain that all the way
from six 10 Is men have their eye on
each individual choice piece Of land on
the reservation and they are liable to
bump into each other pretty often on
their way TO the land. The race to
Blackfoot will be all but as hot as the
race to the land and some poor horses
viii suffer without a doubt.
Contractors all over Pocatello are
complaining that their masons, brick
layers and carpenters have quit them
In order TO prepare to rush out upon
the reservation and get mine or
farm. and as a result half the building
operations there are almost at a stand
still.
OUTSIDE FIVE MILE LIMIT.
The land which is to be taken up to-
morrow consists Of that which lies be-
yond the five.mile limit around Poca-
telo. In order to locate and ultimately
own the land the prospective settler
must cross the line at noon on given
signal. make all haste to the spot he
proposes TO locate and then rush TO
Blackfoot which In some cases VIII be
distance OF 30 miles. and then iile his
location notice subject to homestead,
townsite, stone or timber entry as the
case may be. The whole matter
hinges upon being IN line at the Unit
ed states land Office In Blaekfoot ahead
of a competitor.
The land within the fiye-mlle limit
win be sold az auction TO the highest
bidder on July H.
