THE PROBABLE PLAN.

IHE. FhOBABLE fLAN.
A letter to prominent business
mar Of Devils Lake from an official at
Washington says: 5
Regarding the land under which
the reservation will be opened, it is
entirely il the hands. Of the secretary
of the interior, but without any doubt
4 he will adopt the plan that was used
in opening up Oklahoma Under
this plan, everybody who desires to
file makes an application. which is
numbered, and the prior right to file
is determined by drawing. It il
known as the lottery system. /" The
secretary will not at this time, have
any rules or regulations regarding the
matter, but / understand that in cases
of this kind it is the practice TO issue
q circular letter answering all ques.

AS / under stand ii, soldier will
have exactly the same right to file on
] a homestead on this land as under the
Homestead laws. except that the price
OF these lands is fixed at $4.50 pei

any can be sold at that figure. after

which he can sell the residue at such
price, under such terms and in such
quantities as he deems adv isable.
The first payment is 81. $50 per acre
to be made at the time Of entry, and
so cents per annum per acre until the
land is fully paid for. p
'The entryman can commute the
same as under the homestead law by
paying the remainder (s3. 50) in cash,
and obtain title exactly as good az
he would under the ordinary home.

M'BRIDE MAY RESIDE THERE
Reported That He Will Go to Seattle
After Term Is Over.

SEATTLE. Wash, Sept. "A re-
port from Olympia is that Governor
Mcbride will make Seattle his home
after his term of office expires. the
report states that the governor will
send his family to this city in the
early part of November to establish a
household and that he will follow af-
ter January /.
1t is said that it is the intention Of
Governor Mcbride to open a law office
or join some already established firm
and engage in the practice Of his pro-
fession. His home previous to his cleo
ton as governor was at Mount Vernon
in Skagit county.
Governor McBride's most intimate
friends in this city wnen asked re-
garding the governors movements af-
ter his term expires, said they had no
positive information, but that they
thought it was exceedingly likely the
governor would take such a step.

FIRST DEMOCRATIC FIGHT WILL
BE At SPOKANE ABOUT MID.
DIE OF SEPTEMBER.
Senator Turner and Steve Judson
Will Visit Every County in
the State.

SEATTLE. Wash, Sept. 1.-The
speakers committee of the democratic
state organization, at the head of
which is Vice Chairman Floyd L. Dag
gett is preparing for the opening of
the speaking campaign. The formal
opening of the fight will be in Spokane
when Senator Turner, Mr.. Judson and
a number of prominent party men
sound the keynote of the campaign.
Letters Sent Out.
Letters have been sent out by the
state organization to the different
county committees asking them for an
expression of their wishes regarding
speakers. The county committees will
be allowed to suggest the men whom
they are anxious to hear and the dates
and places when they should speak
1t will not be possible to give the
various county organizations all that
they will ask for they will naturally
conflict in their requests. But the
speakers committee will be able to
give greater satisfaction after know
ing the wishes of local leaders than
they could by making arbitrary as
signments Of orators.
The active speaking campaign will
begin about the middle of September.
The exact date has not yet been set
and a difference of opinion exists rela-
tive to the time that the opening
should be made. Some politicians fix
the time as late as September 90.
which would give six weeks work
while others urge that an immediate
canvass should commence.
For Strong Organization.
Both Senator Turner and Mr. Judson
will be able to visit all the counties of
the state. unless one or two of the
smaller counties be excepted on ac-
count of the lack of transportation IA

doing now, namely, getting himself
ready to have his friends claim the
chieftaincy of the general staff wnen
Chaffee retires.
When it was first proposed that he
should succeed Chaffee, his critics
called attention to the fact that the
new headship Of the army was intend
ed to be filled by line and not a staff
officer, and that Corbin had never
commanded anything more than
skeleton brigade during the civil war
and never more than a battalion after
that period. They set down as axiO-
matte that no men who had done less
than command a department could be
made chief Of staff. Accepting that
standard of performance as authentic,
Corbin asked for his present COM
mand and then the command in the
Philippines. The general will start for
the far east on October /.

The greater portion of the grain
from the Pacifi" coast is marketed
from Portland IL the Liverpool mar
kets. In shipping grain in the bulk it
is sure to heat in the crossing of the
equator twice in transit. Then as the
ship goes through the rough seas and
the cargo will shift making navigation
difficult. When the grain is sacked
enough air circulates to keep the car
go cool and should it shift it is an easy
matter to right the sacks. AS the con-
ditions demand that the product be
sacked the grower must do it in the
field and not at Portland. Perhaps in
the long run it would have been much
cheaper for the farmer to haul his
wheat unsacked and save the price of
sacks, but as conditions demand the
present method nothing was left for
the elevator company but to close their
elevators and nail up the windows.
Should the eastern demand for grain
continue as it has this season the COM
pany may be again able to resume op-
eratiOns. as all grain sent east must be
shipped in bulk and farmers will not
pay 61a cents for sacks always to just
haul the grain to the cars and empty
them.

CAN'T DRIVE OUT WHEAT SACKS
One Elevator Company Loses About
100000 Trying 1t.

900 elevators were built in Washing

Walla Walla, and one each at PendIe-

political situation in Asotin county,
SO far as it regards state affairs. is in
peculiar condition from a republi-
can standpoint. George w. r. Peas
lee of Charleston represented this
county in the legislature last year and
his record on an appointive regulative
railroad commission won the admir-
alton of all supporters of Governor
Mcbride. But the strange part Of 1t
is that there is some decidedly strong
pressure being brought to bear to
ing the nomination. and it is said that
most of the opposition comes from
to Mr.. Peaslee's stand on this most i'm
pOrtant matter.
State Senator F.. Baumeister of Aso-
tin, who failed to represent his con-
stituents and turned against the COM
mission idea, is reported to be head
ing the opposition.
This intermeddling has had a de-
cided tendency to improve Mr.. Peas
lees chances among the masses, and
should he succeed in getting the NOM
ination he will be supported by a great
many voters outside of his party,
simply because of his splendid stand
on this great question.

policy is being followed out. The

rect the most systematic canvass that

some 10 or IL years ago. with their
windows broken out by mischevious
boys, their machinery corroded, their
bins deep with rust and their red
coats of paint turning to dingy gray.
Thus 100000 was lost all through
the difference of location and different
methods of farming and shipping.
Changed Conditions.
Several reasons are advanced for
the unpopularity Of them. One grain
buyer gives the reason as that the
farmer of the west likes to go to the
warehouse every now and then to look
at his crop, piled in the warehouses,
and realize how much he has. While,
when he has dumped his wheat in
loose with several other crops he can
not distinguish his wheat from his
neighbors, and loses the satisfaction
of knowing just what belongs to him.
Others advance the theory that the
methods of farming are so different
from the middle west that circum-
stances compel the farmer to sack his
grain. In the east almost every far
mer has a granary where he hauls his
crop as fast as it is threshed, either
in open wagon boxes in the bulk or in
11nSaWad sacks from which the grain
is emptied The reason that the farms
are, in many cases. so far from the
railroads in this country that it would
be impossible to haul the grain in open
wagons to the elevators is one reason,
but better reason was advanced by
Joseph McCabe of Walla Walla.
