PURCHASED A RESERVATION
As 1t Is Said to be His intention and
Make 1t a Free Presentation to His
Countrymen Regardless Of Rank

The New York World of recent is
sue says:
'The gift in fee simple of 1,150,000
acres OF as fine agricultural and
grazing land as there is on the
American continent to the people or
citizens of single state is a propo-
sition SO stupendous as to cause O.. e
to think of an Arabian Nights story.
Yet this Is what William A. Clark,
United States senator from Montana
plans in case the bill which has long
been before congress throwing open
for settlement a strip of the Grow
reservation. rs miles east of Billings,
in the counties of Yellowstone, Rose
bud and Custer. this state, and Sher-
idan, Wyoming, containing the land
mentioned fails of passage at the
next session of congress.
Senator Clark. whose wealth is es-
timated at nearly S200,000,000, will
shortly be in Billings to go over all
the ground contemplated in the pro-
posed Grow treaty, it being his wish
that every detail in connection there
with be made plain to him in order
that he may be able to present the
claim of the people of Montana as
forcibly as it can be presented to the
next session of congress, and he says
that unless favorable action be had
on the bill he will procure the enact
ment of a law empowering him to
make a personal treaty with the Grow
Indians, and he will buy the tract
outright on his own personal respon-
sibility.
"This purpose of Senator Clark was
recently communicated to Chief Plen-
ticues of the Crows, who Immediately
summoned a council of the head r1on
of his tribe and the proposition was
thoroughly discussed. resulting in
ready acquiescence on the part of
the council in the proposed scheme.
'The execution of Senator Clark'S
purpose will cost him something over
$4,000 900 This to him would be
mere bagatelle, yet it would enable
thousands of American homeseekers
to rise UP as one man and acclaim:
Great is Clark, Long live our bene-
tactorr
"This is one of the most valuable
strips Of agricultural land there is in
the country, and it is Senator Clark's
intention. if he has to buy the tract,
to have incorporated in the special
act. empowering him to do so,

Hillyard, Nov. 16.-The greatest
cut in wages in the Great Northern
shops in the history of Hilyard went
into effect this morning. The cut af-
fects from 500 to 400 men, and, esti-
mating that it only affects the small

paid in this pace of $4,000 in a year.
A notice was put up in the shops
Saturday evening to the effect that
hereafter the shops would only work
five days a week and eight hours a
day. All the men employed in the
shops except those that run the ma
chimes and those in the rip-rap who
repair cars that are damaged are af-
fected by the cut. Those are only a
small number as compared with all
the men that are employed.
Some of the men have been receiv-
ing $3.75 a day and some $1.60 a day,
depending upon the work done. The
average amount Of wages paid was
$3.50 day, and the men have been
working six days a week and 10

FRIARS' LAND NATTER.
United States Will Probably Get the
Property for $6,OOO,OOO.

Property for se,ooo,ooo
Washington Nov 13.-Advices
reaching the war department from
Manila indicate that before he sails
for the United States on December
%, Governor Taft will have succeed
ed in settling one Of the most veXa-
tions problems connected with the ac-
quisition Of the Philippines, namely,
the adjustment of the claims of the
friars for their extensive property
holdings in the islands.
The main obstacle to a settlement
was an issue between the papal dele
gate and the religious orders as to
the proportion of the purchase money,
to be paid by the insular government,
that was to be turned over to Rome
The friars naturally desired to re-
ceive the major part of the allotment
and when they learned that the
church insisted upon certain sum
they sought to make good their own
proportion by increasing the sum to-
tai of the price demanded for the
lands. This ran the total up to about
S14.O00,000, a sum entirely beyond
any figure which the insular govern
ment was willing to consider.
Realizing that with Governor Taft's
departure the chances of settle
ment would become more remote. and
suffering from the deprivation of
their lands with compensation month
after month, the church authorities
have brought pressure to bear upon
the friars with the result that the in
sular government expects to be able
to acuOire their entire holdings in
the Philippines for S6,000,000

A CORNER ON
TIMBER LAND
Will Be Established by Uncle Sam
Under Proposed Legislation.
TIMBER AND STONE LANDS
Will Be Withdrawn From Settlement
and Purchase by Settlers and Sold
as Is State Land to the Highest
Bidder-5iII Presented by Hans
brough.

! Washington, Nov. Ex-senator
hansbrough has introduced in the
senate a bill which, by implication
repeals the timber and stone act, un-
der which land is now acquired at
| $50 an acre, regardless of its real
| value. The measure is intended to
| cure defects in existing laws, put a
quietus upon speculation in public
BE-" lands, and an end to the
frauds which recently have grown
into national scandal. 1t was re
ferred to the committee on public
lands, of which the author is chair
man.
The secretary of the interior is au-
thorized to make examination and es-
Inmates relative to the quantity and
value of the timber and stone on the
public lands and to sell the right to
dispose of the same, in such quanti-
ties as may seem advisable, to the
| highest bidder. This plan is now rur-
sued in the sale of timber on Indian
lands in Minnesota. The title to the
land remains in the government and
the secretary of the interior may fix
the limit of time in which the pur-
chaser of the right shall remove the
timber or stone. The right to cut the
timber and make it merchantable
quantity is made inalienable.
If Senator Hansbrough S measure
becomes a law all the timber land on
the public domain will be withdrawn
from entry and the government VII
enter upon the policy of dispo ing Of
its timber at its market value. One
provision in the bill prohibits the en-
try of these lands under the home
stead or old land laws It is argued
by Senator Hansbrough that in leay-
ing the fee to the land in the govern
ment reforestatiOn will take place
and the sale of timber will be a
source of large revenue.
The second section amends the lieu
land section of the act so as to pro-
vide that when a settler. whose entry
falis within a forest reserve, selects
another piece Of land in lieu of his
original entry it must be more valua-
bic for agricultural purposes than for
timber or stone. Under the existing
law many of the entrymen who find
themselves within a forest reserve
cut and dispose of the timber on the
land and later go outside of the re-
serve and file a homestead on other
homestead land.
The third section amends the act
Of March II, 1902, and requires all
proofs of commuted homestead and
desert land entries to be made before
registers and receivers in local land
offices. This proposed amendment TO
existing law is recommended bv the
commissioner of the general land Of
hce. who in his last report SAYS:
The privileges gained by the act
have been greatly abused, particular
ly by United States commissioners,
who have often been parties to whole
sale frauds in connection with proofs
made before them"
