TOTEM /: LOTTERY NEXT. !.
NORTH DAKOTA RESERVE TO
BE OPENED AUG 8.

TOT the registration prior to the Open-
ing of the Fort Totten reservation.
On the opening day, Aug: 8, govern
ment officials will be accessible at
Offices which will be fitted up in the
Central school building for that pur.
pose, says Grand Forks telegram
to the Minneapolis Journal.
Advices from the east and south in.
dictate that there will be a large crowd
here at that time. An article bearing
a Devils Lake date. published in
several twin city papers, is very
misleading concerning the matter OF
registration, and unless the error il
corrected, many of the land seekers
will be put to great deal of trouble
and Inconvenience. This article says
''lt is true that registration for q
few townships may be made at Grand
Forks, and it is intimated that not
many persons will stop off here.
As a matter of fact there is no such
thing in connection with this opening
as ''registration for few town.
ships,' or for any particular section.
No. one registers for a particula,
locality, but the registration is simply
that the individual may be enrolled
among those who nave chance in the
drawing which is to follow. In view
of the fact that this incorrect state
ment has been published, the condi-
tions of settlement may be briefly
summarized.
Registration being at Grand Forks
and-Devils Lake on Aug. Goth, it
makes no difference where the regis
tration is made. The settlers chances
in one place are exactly the same as
in the other. Each person registering
will be required to sign card which
is retained by the officials. After the
registration closes, these cards will be
collected and placed together in a box
from which there will be drawn fifty
each day, until as many are drawn as
there are claims to be filed upon.
Successful persons will be required to
make entry then at DEVILS Lake, but
it will be observed that this has moth
ing to do with registration.
There will be an interval of rwo
weeks between the last day of filing
and the first day of the drawing, and
1t may be month before any particu-
lar applicants card is reached. Those
who live in the state will register and
return home until the time of the
drawing, registering at Grand Forks
or Devils Lake, whichever place is
the most convenient TO them. Those
from distance will be obliged to stay
somewhere in the northwest to wait
for the drawing, and many Of them
will prefer to remain at Grand Forks
where there are ample hotel accommo-
dations

few on the list. One farmer in Sec
ton 20 has four dogs and only one ID
assessed. We hear of places where
there are nine COWS and only one
assessed. Some blame the assessor for
this, but that is hardly fair, for if a
person wants to lie out of taxes, he
will, and the assessor cannot stop
him. About the best way would be
to drive the stock in the yard and
count 'em, and even that wouldn't

Boston, Dec. 27.-Two Boston
schooners, the Singleton, Palmer and
the Viator, as we'll as the New Jersey
schooner Lizzie Babcock which is ire
quently seen in these waters, are all
long overdue at their destinations
and considerable anxiety is felt for
their safety.
The five-masted Singleton Palmer
sailed from this port on December
9Th for Newport News, Va. The vessel
should have reached her destination in
five or six days, and the entire absence
of news since she passed out by
Highland Light on the afternoon of
her sailing leads to the belief that
some mishap has befallen her. The
Palmer carries crew of fourteen
men and is valued at $4,000
The three master Viator sailed from
Turks Island November 23rd with a
cargo of salt for Baltimore. 1t is
thought she encountered the fierce
storms which recently prevailed along
the southern coast TheViator carries
eight men in her crew.
The schooner Lizzie Babcock owned
in Sumner y. j., left Baltimore Nov
ember 3rd with a cargo of coal for
Cardenas, Cuba, and has not been
reported since her departure. 1t is
feared this schooner was lost in a
harricane off the Florida coast

spoken article in reply to recent
letter TO Admiral Birileff, which APP
pealed to the Russians not openly to
criticise the condition of the navy, the
Russ today declares the time has
passed for silence in view of the fact
that the "oid system of concealins
facts IS responsible for the loss of
$50, 000,0 600 roubles worth of war
ships and has covered us with shame
and grief. 1t would be absurd TO
hide the defects that can still be re-
paired in the ships which remain at
Cronstadt and Libau. We have al
ready wasted enough time.

the ships still in Russian waters, and
says that torpedo boats intended to
reinforce Vice Admiral Rojestvensky

proved to exist in them"
