Oklahoma Lands for Lease.

A big event in the history of the
Southwest will be the leasing of the
Indian pasture lands in Southwest
Oklahoma, onDecember 4th, next.
The Interior Department of the
United States has arranged to lease
these lands for agricultural purposes
for terms of five years, with the lessee S
preference-right to release at the end
of the period, subject to appraisement
by the Secretary of the Interior. The
amount of land to be leased to any
one person, firm or company is from
quarter to two sections. This re-
striction is designed to prevent large
tracts being controlled for grazing
purposes.
The main body Of this land is located
in CaddO, Kiowa and Comanche
counties embracing tract of about
$50, 900 acres, most of which is valuable
farming land, on which cotton, wheat,
alfalfa and Katfir corn are readily
grown. All the pasture reserves are
well watered and much of the land is
located along creek and river bottoms.
Rainfall in this section, this year, has
been above the average.
chattanooga, on the Rock Island
System, is the nearest railway station
to the "Big Pasture. - Any additional
information desired will be furnished
on application to JOHN SEBASTIAN,
Passenger Traffic Manager, Rock
Island System, Chicago.

The Exposition ID considered quite
good and compared favorably with

President Roosevelt for someLVo years

the foreign and government, comprise
the show. The Pacific state buildings
are all on a gigantic scale, each exhib-
ting well the products of mine, field,
forest and factory. Mining, fruit, and
lumber interests are the chief exhibits.
Many of the states use the moving
pictures method of illustrating the
products of their states. 1t is quite
novel ard real, and the effect is often
amusing. Lecture rooms, seated with
chairs, and the light excluded gives

In North Dakota.

Perhaps few lines regarding the
crops and land conditions of Cava-
lier Co. n. ID. may be of interest to
some of your readers. Cavalier Co.
is situated in the north tier of count
les of the state and the second tier
west Of the Red River. 1t is prairie
country with the land just rolling
enough for drainage and there is very
little waste land. The early part of
this season was very wet but crops
are good and the quality is excellent
nearly every bushel of the wheat
grading No. | hard. Barley, oats
and flax are also good crops and
farmers there are certainly prosper
Gus.
[ have visited Cavalier Co. each
year for the past four years and have
been greatly pleased to see the won
derful growth and development of the
country. Four years ago the west
ern part of the county was nearly all
prairie and there were hardly any
good buildings, while now there is but
little prairie left unbroken, and good
comfortable homes are in evidence
everywhere, many of them being just
as good as can be found in Audubon
in price in the last few years and |
believe it will double its present price
within the next five years. Now is
the time to buy land there for it has
reached the point where it is no trouble
to rent it and secure big interest on
yOur>investment. Langdon is a town
about the size of Audubon and is said
to be the largest primary grain mar
ket in the world. Henry Johnson
formerly of the Republican is now
foreman of the Cavalier Co. Repub-
lican and has good position. He
and his wife are we'll spleased with
their new home and with the country
in general. Geo. Armstrong son of
Elk Sheriff Armstrong is farming there
and is very prosperous and says that
he would not think of returning to
Iowa to farm. For my part while
there is no place that | would as soon
have my home as in Audubon county
] am fully convinced that for the
young man who is ambitious and who
has limited means there are far great
er opportunities for success in that
country than here.

Terrcrists Warn General Trepoff That
His End Is Near.

St Petersburg, July 1.-THE resig-
nation of M. Bouligan as minister OF
the interior is expected daily. General
Trepoff, the assistant minister of the
interior, viii probably be his successor.
The terrorists have recently renew
ed their warnings against General Tre-
poff with ominous persistence. The
general is constantly In receipt OF let
teIs signed by the executive commit
tee of the fighting organization in
forming him that his hour has come.
A remarkable feature of all the COM
munications is that the writer's all
take pains to say that no safeguards
will avail to avert his impending doom.
At the same time they tell him he
need not be afraid to go abroad in the
streets. They add:
Your sentence will be executed in
your own room. You will die in bed"
The terrorists seem to take pride in
issuing a challenge involving demon
stration of their power and resources
to penetrate the armor of the police.
Moreover, General Trepoff knows
enough of the resources and desper-
ateness of the organization to firmly
believe that the terrorists are able to
execute their threat. He makes no
concealment of the fact that he ex-
poets to be killed, but his nerve Is
unshaken Il will at least die at the
post of duty" he said.
Privately General Trepoff takes a
gloomy view of the future of the au-
tocracy, in which he believes. The
general is confident that If given un
trammelled power he could restore the
old status quo in a year, but the pres
ent vacillating policy, he thinks, will
only end in ruin.

TOWN PRACTICALLY RUINED
JAP BOMBARDMENT CAUSES A
DESTRUCTIVE FIRE AT
kARSAkORSk.

Toxic, July 14.-An eyewitness OF
the japanese bombardment of Karsa-
korsk wires that the Russian forts
were silenced on July Z after the ex-
change of very few shots. The piers,
warehouses and other buildings were
set on fire and the conflagration was
reflected by the foggy atmosphere con-
verting the sky into one mass of blood
red color. The Japanese army landed
amidst the fire, which was fast spread
ing to the forts. from the tops of which
the bewildered inhabitants We're seen
fleeing in every direction, carrying
with them what property they could
remove The fires were not subdued
for over forty-eight hours.
The Russian cruiser Novik, which
was destroyed by the Japanese at Kar-
sakorsk last August, and the ruined
town aud forts are sad witnesses of
the rapidity with which destruction is
wrought in modern warfare.
