Mrs. Noble L. Prentiss, hostess
of the Kansas building at the
Worlds Fair, has asked the COM
mission to provide quarters for six
Kansas girls whom she wants to
exhibit as prize beauties. The
scheme, however, has met with
opposition, as there are some Kan
sas mothers who object to having
their daughters placed on exhibit
ton like cattle. Other states are
also inclined to protest, on the
ground that Kansas has no monop-
oily on feminine beauty.

1t is given out from Washington
that Hearst has declared that he
will support the nominee of the
democratic national convention.
This is the only proper course for
a democrat to persue, but there

Weaver were planning a huge
bolt and the formation of a new
party if the convention did not
nominate a man to suit them.

fee at Washington, it is altogether
likely that the plan for settlers to
enter upon the lands Will be after
that adopted by the government in
the settlement of lands thrown open
in Oklahoma territory several years
ago. This was in the nature of
lottery, but in every respect the
scheme met with the approval of the
intending settler and came up to the
highest expectations of the present
commissioner of the general land Of
flee, who devised the plan for the final
orening of the Indian lands in that
section.
n Oklahoma every person desiring
lad was obliged to register at booth
provided by the government He was
then supplied with a numbered ticket
and allowed to take his chances for
a quarter section claim at a drawing
which began Immediately after the
registration closed. There were up
wards of 100000 such registrations
and the number of acres for distribu-
tion was less than 100000. The first
person to draw lucky number was
allowed to make first selection at the
local land Offices and so on in that or
der until every quarter section was
awarded.
OF course, under the plan the soon
ers" were shut out, but every one
having right to homestead entry was
given an equal show with the fellow
with the fleet-footed saddle horse, or
the man who slipped into the country
before it in reality had become pa1<
of the public domain.
Should the oklahoma PLAN be
adopted for the settlement of the Crow
lands it is NOT unlikely that Billings
and vicinity will have an increase OF
at least 10000 to 10000 people, who
will come in the hope of being for
tunate enough to secure a home by
means of the lottery box Those from
distance will know in advance that
their chances to secure home will
be equal with the man who knows
every foot of the territory ceded and
has lived adjacent to the lands a
major portion of his life.

Billings is the seat of government.
Several years ago when the subject
OF opening these lands for settlement
was discussed, the representative in
the state senate from Yellowstone,
Senator Gruwell, took the wise pre-
caution to establish permanent county
lines which now prove very advan-
tageous to this county.
To show that Senator Gruwell had
the interest of his county at hear.
and had the foresight to make good
deal, he consented as democratic
member of the assembly to the forma-
tion of Rosebud county, which he
knew would create another republican
county. But the interest of his county
caused him to rise above partisanship,
and he told his democratic colleagues
that he could not turn down such a
good deal for his county, when the
champions of the creation of Rosebud
only wanted to come as far west as the
Big Horn to mark the dividing line
between Yellowstone and Rosebud
counties.
Senator Gruwell's foresight and the
fact that he was able to soar above
the party whip will be somewhat in
evidence when the taxroll begins to
be made up from that part of Yellow
stone county which will he formally

Dixon the Hero.

Dixon the Hero.
Notwithstanding that some effort is
being made to take away from Con-
gressman Dixon the credit for bringing
about the passage of the bill, the fact
will always remain that to him be-
longs most, if not all of the credit
for the gift which came to the people
of eastern Montana in the language OF
the telegram published earlier in this
article. 1t is true that Mr.. Dixon had
somes able assistants, and prominent
among them was President Roosevelt
who conceded from the outstart of the
fight to open the reservation that the
measure was righteous one and that
the people were entitled to relief.
But without such wideawake mem

as the gentleman has proved him

his brief career in Washington, it is
safe to say that the measure would
have been allowed to slumber in the

past when the state was represented
in that branch of congress successive-
ly by a couple of wooden men,

1t gives to the people all the splendid
agricultural lands lying On both sides
of the Big Horn river from Fort Gus
ter north and all the splendid agricul-
tural lands lying on the south side
OF the Yellowstone for distance Of
Is miles, besides the lands along
some of the smaller streams Approx
imately there are within the ceded
territory from 100000 to 100000 acres
OF agricultural lands, and the remain
der is high class grazing land. The
the Yellowstone and the Big Horn
carry never failing and inexn atlstibIe
supply of water and in this respect
the surrendered lands have an I'M
mense advantage over many ou14er sec
tiOns OF the arid west, where the item
OF water alone ofttimes prevents de-
velopment and settlement.
Several thousand people can be sus-
tanned within the ceded territory and
there will be plenty of room for all,
giving 100 acres of farming land to
each head of family, besides making
a liberal allowance for grazing land
for each homestead.
Under the Homestead Law.
Under the terms of the law passed
for the opening of these lands the
homestead rights will apply for the
first five years. The payments to the
government is on the basis OF 81 an
acre, 81 an acre payable when fila g
is made in the land office and the
balance extending over a period of
five years. After five years shall have
elapsed from the date OF the issuing
of the executive proclamation declar-
ing the lands open for settlement all
lands not occupied at that time are
to be disposed of under direction OF
the department of the interior in tracts
not exceeding GAO acres to one person
at price of not less than $1.25 an
acre.
Government Reclamation.
The measure also provides that
the reclamation bureau shall have the
right to enter upon the lands for the
purpose of constructing reservoirs and
canals for the settlers for irrigation
purposes. It is claimed by this bureau
that the ceded part OF the reservation
will afford an excellent opportunity
to demonstrate at an early date the
practicability of the construction OF

discovery probably prevent
ged delivery by the prisoners confined
in the city Jail, Saturday night.
During the evening the police ar
rested Charles Carter of whom they
had description from the sheriff OF
Gallatin county, where he was want
ed for robbery and resisting an Off
Ger. He was found in the Northern
Pacific yards and locked up in the
room containing the cage with three
deserters taken in earlier in the day.
After the night men had gone ON
duty and there was supposed to be
little fear of detection Carter and one
OF the deserters took off the handle
OF the water cock in the south end
OF the room and began to work on
a hole in the east wall, dividing the
cage from the dark cell or dungeon.
With the aid of this simple tool and
broom handle they managed to re-
move several bricks, taking advantage
OF the hole left in the wall for the
passage of the water pipe. Before
they could complete the job one OF
the officers entered the Jail and dis
covered them at work. He placed
the fellows in the cage, where they
were harmless as far as doing further
mischief was concerned.
Had they succeeded in completing
the hole practically nothing would
have stood between them and liberty.
Once in the dungeon, the door to
which was not locked, they could have
gone into the large room at the east
end of the jail This was not occupied,
and the door was unlocked. From
there they could have entered the cor
ridor and then have gone out by way
OF the outside stairway in First ave-
nue., the door to which is secured from
the inside by a spring lock.
Carter was taken to Bozeman yes
terday morning by Sheriff Fowler OF
Gallatin county, who gave the prisoner
a hard name.

ment. The measure does not, how
ever, prevent private capital from en-
tering upon the erection of irrigation
works. On the proposition of the
speedy construction of complete sys-

voirs on the ceded lands, many prac-
teal men in affairs of this character

Before the proclamation will issue
declaring the ceded land open to
settlement surveys of it will have to
be completed. For this work the bill
carries an appropriation of $4,000.

or three crews at least six months 10

FOOLED THE TRAINMEN.
Suspected Burglars Cut Way Out of
Freight Car.

Nothing has been seen or heard
hereabouts concerning the burglars
that robbed store at Sheridan las.
week, and in quest of whom Sheriff
Nelson visited Billings last Friday.
1t has been learned that the men
left Sheridan and proceeded north on
freight train, the crew of which had
been notified to be on guard for them.
One of the brakemen found the fellows
in an empty boxcar and informed the
conductor. Under the latter's orders
he returned to the car and locked it,
thinking to- hold the men prisoners
until Billings could be reached, when
they would be turned over to the
officers. The fact that they were
locked in did not escape the suspects
and they soon freed themselves by
cutting hole in the end of the car
near the small door. Through this
they pushed an arm and released the
catch, after which they crawled out
and at the first opportunity slipped
from the train.
Their absence was not noticed I'm.
til after the train had arrived in the
local yards.
The articles stolen by the gang
include jewelry, revolvers, knives and
many other things OF considerable
value and easily carried off, The
aggregate is several hundred dollars.
