Muc8 light is shown on ths plans OF
the Department OF tho Interior at
Washington regarding the manner in
which the Devils Lake Indian reserva-
ton will be opened to settlers in an
open letter given to the state press last
week by Congressman Marshall. Those
who are waiting to Tile on land when the
reservation is opened will find much
valuable information in the letter which
is here given space:
Regarding the plan under which the
reservation will be opened, it Is entirely
in the hands OF the secretary of the in
terror, but without any doubt he will
adopt the plan that was used in opening
up Oklahoma. Under this plan, every
body who desires to file makes an ap-
plication, which is numbered, and the
prior right to file is determined by a
drawing. 1t is known as the sslottery
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 prac-
tice to issue a circular letter answering
all questions. shall be much pleased
to forward complete copy of the
official circular the moment it is issued.
As understand it, a soldier will have
exactly the same right to file on home
stead on this land as under the home
stead laws, except that the price of
these lands is fixed at S4.50 per acre as
long as the president thinks 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 advisable. The first payment is
81 1.15 per acre, to be made at the time
of entry, and so cents per annum per
acre until the land is fully paid for.
The entryman can commute the same
as under the homestead law, by paying
the remainder $3.50 in cash, and obtain
a title exactly as good as he would
under the ordinary homestead filing.
If he prefers he can instead, pay so
cents per acre each year and live on
the land continuously until it is paid
for, that is for six years, and make his
proof.

Now that the government has got its
hands into the ''trust busting" business
it should take the International Har-
vester company next in hand. This
gigantic trust is bleeding both the
local dealers and the farmers right and
left. It costs more to buy farm machin-
cry from the trust today than it did three
years ago when bought direct from the
maker. Conditions have been such that
the prices should have been reduced in
stead Of raised. Competition has been
killed, so the farmers have no alterna-
tive but to allow themselves to be "held
up"

LAST week the secretary of the in
terror apportioned s1,2O0,OOO to the
state of North Dakota to be used in il.
rigating the lands in the western part
of the state. With proper irrigation,
lands which today are practically worth.
less can be made almost as fertile and
productive as are those in the Red
River Valley, and money spent in this
work will be we'll spent. In q few years
these lands will be worth many times
the amount Of money expended on them.

1WASHINGTON,4 Dec. 21.-The Sen
ator Reed Smoot Investigation has now
reached that period where counsel for
the protestants have concluded the ex-
animation of all persons who could be
reached by the subpoenas issued by
the senate committee. Attorney Tay-

sibly to examine later some persons
on whom it has been impossible to get

The principal witness on the stand
was Charles Nj. Owen, who has been

to bringing actions against prominent
church officials and as to the attitude
of courts and prosecuting attorneys in
such cases.
He declared that such prosecutions
