May 24.-The railroad and ware.
house commission wrote to the store.
keeper about the depot and platform
crossing, but referred the matter to
the railroad company, which will not
help much, as they are not likely to
do anything voluntarily. We are tired
of waiting in all kinds of weather for
trains that do not arrive on time.
The mail route proposed for this
region will probably not be estab-
lished as the people prefer taking::mail
at Darling If things 90 right. Many
of the farmers on the proposed route
rarely mail letter-perhaps five or
six year, and several are too close
listed to take paper, but borrow the
neighbours, still they say they want a
mail route. And the roads will have
to be considerably improved.
The storekeeper has bought fine
horse from the Fogleville farmer,
and just as soon as the roads are fixed
-maybe-we will see a grocery and
mail delivery rig in operation for 6
miles around, four times a week. -.
With mail taken off both night
trains, perhaps the company will see
the advisability of pntting up depot.
The report sent in that only nine..pas-
sengers got on here in three months
must mean that the conductors are
short sighted, count wrong or some-
thing. There are many more than
that.

THE CHIPPEWA LANDS
Rules for Settlers Look
ing for Home
SteadS.

rules and regulation relative to the
agricultural lands to be opened June
10Th. The following will be of interest
to prospective settlers here: -
The survey and examination of the
lands In the Pigeon River (Grand
Portage Bots Fort, = Deer Creek,
White Oak Point, Red Lake. Chippe-
wa of the Mississippi, and Winnibi-
goshish Indian reservations have been
completed, and it hasebeen determined
to open certain agricultural lands
therein to settlement and entry in &C.
cordance with the provisions of the
statute.
The hour a. H., June--15. 1904,
has been fixed upon az the time on
and after which these lands will be
open to settlement and entry.
These lands will be subject to dis.
posal to actual settlers only, under the
provision of the homestead law, ex-
cept that the provisions of section
1901 Of the Revised Statutes are not
applicable, as proof Of occupancy for
five years is required before title can
be perfected. Each settler is required
to pay for the lands settled upon the
sum Of $1.s5 for each acre, such pay
ment to be made in five equal annual
installments.
Applicants for these lands must
possess the necessary qualifications
required in the case of ordinary home
stead entries.
The five annual payments required
to be made for these lands must be
paid at the end of the first, second,
third, fourth, and fifth years, re-
spectively, from the day of the home
stead entry.
When parties who are entitled, un-
der provisions of section 1906 of the
Revised Statutes, to credit upon the
period of residence for military SER
vice. submit proof before the end of
the fifth year from the date of entry,
they must tender with the proof full
amount of purchase money remaining
due for the tract embraced in their
respective entries.
The usual fee and commissions must
be paid at the time of original entry
and when the final payment and proof
are made, but you will not collec: any
payment for lands In excess Of 100
acres embrace in one entry when the
entry is allowed, as the payment for
such excess area will be included in
the whole amount required to be paid
in installments.
The agricultural lands now to be
opened are not affected by the provi-
sions of the act of May II, 1900 (31
Stat. L., 179), which provides, in
brief, that all settlers under the home
stead law upon the agricultural public
lands. which have already been
opened to settlement, acquired prior
to the passage of said act by treaty or
agreement from the various Indian
tribes, ''shall be entitled to a patent
for the lands go entered upon the pay.
ment to the local land officers of the
usual and customary fees, and no
other or further charge Of sany kind
whatsoever shall be required from
such settlers to entitle them to q
patent for the land covered by this en-
try for the reason that they were
not ''opened to settlement prior to
the passage Of said act.
