ANTICIPATE GREAT RUSH.
Opening of DEVILS Lake Reservation
Attracting Unusual Attention.


Passenger officials of railroads operat-
ing between Chicago and st. Paul and
Minneapolis are receiving hundreds of
inquiries daily pertaining to the opening
of the Devils Lake Indian reservation
in North Dakota. 1t is estimated that
between 5000 and 5000 landseekers,
chiefly frem the crowded agricultural Sec
tons OF the East, will leave Chicago
for the reservation registration points
between lug. and 10. The drawing of
lots will take place in Devils Lake Aug.
"A. The Cuthead Siouy Indian reserva-
ton is the technical name for the reser-
Tltion, which lies between the Cheyenne
river and Devils Lake, in Benson Coun-
ty, and comprises 10000 acres of land,
to be apportioned in 160-acre tracts. Only
go persons can be lucky" but the rail-
roads figure that many of the disappoint-
ed ones will bug land in the district. The
land is now quoted at from SIS to $50
an acre. Government officials believe
the opening OF the Devils Lake reserva-
ton will witness one of the greatest
PUSHES for land in the history of the
nations free distribStion.

DULUTH HAS BIG FIRE.
Buildings Flame Up Like finder and
One Man Is Killed.


In Duluth, Mimi, 100000 worth of
property was destroyed Friday afternoon
at the Omaha docks and warehouses,
owned by the Chicago, st. Paul. Mime
apolis and Omaha Railway, and one man,
a cook named George Smith, on the tug
Abbott, was drowned in an attempt to
make his escape from the craft as the
flames swept over it with cyclonic rapid
ity from the docks. The fire started in
the northeast corner of the building and
swept through the long sheds like a tor
nado, taking everything that stood in its
path. In three minutes after the flames
were discovered almost the entire length
of the sheds was a fiery furnace, belch-
ing forth volumes of dense, black smoke
that rolled away over the city, crumbling
the freight cars that stood beside it like
finder. 1t was the most disastrous fire
witnessed in Duluth in years and the
most spectacular. Thousands of people
lined the docks, the viaduct, the tops of
box cars and the sides of the hill TO wit
ness the destruction of thousands of dol
lars worth of property.

Vegetarian FuII of low.

DR.. c. c. Nicola, celebrated as vege-

Chicago strike, said: This strike of
meat men is a blessing in disguise and
will demonstrate further that people can
live and are better off without meat.
Coming as it did during the hot weather,
people will find by eating more vegeta-

Against South Dakota.

Charging the State CT South Dakota
with attempting to take $3.50 acres of
school lands in the Rosebud reservation
in excess of that to which the State is
entitled, the Indians of the reservation
sent telegram to President Roosevelt
protesting against this action. At the
rate of 81 an acre, which the indians
could receive if the lands were taken by
homestead settlement, the disputed terri
tory is worth $4,000 AS school lands
the Indians will receive only half this
amount. In addition, the homesteaders
will be deprived of over 5000 acres,
which they might otherwise take up. 1t
is the purpose of Commissioner of Lands
and Education Bach to sell these school
lands for town site purposes on Aug.
%. The Indians have engaged the SER
vices of one of the best-known land at
torneys in the Northwest to prosecute
their case, and it promises to upset al

employers will be submitted TO arbi-
tration.
10 gain the packers agreement TO
this method of settling the ugly CON
troversy the union accepted the pro
posal previously offered by the employ
ers, yielding TO the latter the right TO
retain men hired since the strike be-
gan, While the packers will reinstate
strikers without discrimination within
40 days. reserving the right to discrim-
mate against few men whoses cases
may be settled by the board of arbitra-
ton, which is to determine ON the main
points at issue.
Union leaders fought all the after
noon to repudiate independent work
ingmen in demanding that all non
union men employed since the strike
order was issued be discharged inn
mediately. Finding that pleading and
argument could not move the packers,
determination on this question, the di-
rectors of the organized trades yielded
in order to avert a gigantic conflict in
all the principal cities of the United
Stctes. When Michael Donnely, Pres
ident of the butchers. and his a sociate
labor leaders yielded this point the re-
meinder of the tentative agreement
was easily determined upon.
President Donnelly telegraphed to
all members of the Executive Board
of the Amalgamated Meat Cutters and
Butcher Workmen of North America
telling them of the settlement and ask
ing for ratification of the agree
ment.
The agreement was declared salts
factory by all the interests concerned
before it was approved and signed 1t
is in the nature of a compromise, al
though at least two of the chief con-
tentions of President Donnelly of the
union are gained by him. One con-
tract will apply to the workers in all
plants in all cities A wage scale will
be made for the unskilled men, the la
borers, whose cause was one of the
principal grounds of dispute in the con-
troversy.
The labor leaders in the nogce con-
ference were united in the opinion that
as the strike has been remarkable for
the discipline shown by the men and
the absence of violence of serious ma
ture, so the settlement is of grea test
importance. Not since the strike of
the anthracite coal miners in Pennsyl-
vania has there been a labor struggle
involving so many men or so vitality
affecting one of the necessaries of life.
Reference of the differences to arbitra-
ton after so short a contest was re-
garded as triumph for peaceful meth
DDS in the adjustment of labor trou-
bles
One unusual feature of the contro-
versy is that the men have never ask
ed or been given CLOSED shop" agree
ment. The union merely demanded
that the employers enter into a con-
tract with it which should stipulate the
wages and conditions under which its
members should work Most of the
employees of the companies belong to
the union.
Following are some statistics of the
strike:
