NEW TOWN TO
OPEN MARCH p
Fifty Settlers In 1928 Will
All Make Applica-
tons.

The town of68-23will be opened
for homestead settlement on
Tuesday March ~ next, begin.
ming at 9 o'clock a. m. This is
the last of the towns in the Big
Fork country to be opened by
the government. There are at
present about so settlers in the
town, and these, it is expected,
will all make application for the
land which they now occupy.
Many of the applications for
filings will doubtless be made
before the United States land
commissioner at international
Falls, few days before the date
of opening, and these will be sent
to the Duluth land receiver IS
office where they will become
effective. i
There are from 80 to 100 good
agricultural claims of 100 acres
each in the town, aside from
that portion of the town which
will go to the state for school
purposes.
Filings of those settlers now
on the land in the town will take
precedence over all others, and
the time they have spent on
their farms, improving and till,
ing them, will be placed to their
credit by the government, so
that they will not have to re-
main on their claims as others to
obtain full title. Some of them
have already been on their land
the required length of time and
will come into full possession of
their claims at once.

United States Preparing For
Struggle With. FloWery
Kingdom.
LOCAL ARMY OFFICE RECEIVES
ORDERS.
Men Enlisted in Bemidji Will Be
Trained as Gunners For
Coast Defense.

One of the very good indica
tions that war between the
United States and China is i'm
minent is an order from the war
department received by the Local
army recruiting Office today d.
recting the local station to enlist
men for the artillery, the recruits
to be sent to Forts F'lagler, Casey
and Warden in Washington, and
Forts Colum bia and Stevens in
Oregon.
All the new recruits received
at these forts will be trained as
gunners and will be stationed at
the coast defenses throughout
the United States and in the
island possessions.
Another Indication that a con.
fict is expected is the establish.
ing of Notifications at Cavite,
Corrigador island and Honolulu,
where it is expected that many
Of the recruits, after they have
been trained at the forts to which
they are shipped from the re-
cruiting Offices throughout the
country, will be sent.
The prospect for a war with
the fowery kingdom will un.
doubtedly result in a rush at the
recruiting Offices.

REPEAL TIMBER
AND STONE ACT.
Senate Committee is Consid-
ering Measure to Do Away
With Land Grabbing.

Washington, Feb. %. The sen
ate corn mittee is perfecting the
measure which it has decided
upon repeating the timber and
stone. act. The bill when COM
pleted will provide for the repeal
OF the act in its entirety, and es-
tablish in its place a system of
leasing, and instead of allowing
timber and stone land to be en-
tered in tracts Of 100 acres as
now the right to cut the timber
will be leased to the highest bid
der, and land valuable for stone
will be opened to entry as quar-
ries in tracts not to exceed forty
acres in area. This latter feature
of the bill is at the suggestion of
Senator Smoot of Utah, and he
has drafted provision along this
line which will be Incorporated
in the bill.
Another important feature of
the bill will be that of allowing
the counties in which the land is
located a certain percentage of
the amount derived from the sale
Of the timber.
The senate com mittee will in
troduce this bill as com mittee
bill and then Immediately report
it, and it will probably pass the
senate. In the house com mittee
on public lands it will encounter
considerable opposition, and 1t is
likely to be considered at some
length. Representative French
OF Idaho is opposed to the propo-
sition of the repeal Of the act, and
lit is known that other mem bers
are not friendly to it, but if it can
be brought out of com mittee and
presented to the house for vote
it is thought it would pass. The
act was passed June 3, 1873, and
provided only for the sale of tim
Der and stone land in California,
Oregon, Nevada. and Wisconsin,
but an act of Aug. 4, 1902, ex-
tended it's provisions to all public
land states.
From the passage of the act to
date Dearly a million acres of
timber land have been patented,
and there are about 5000 claims
for more than a million and a half
acres pending.

To Make Paper Pads.

Very many persons would like to
know how to pad sheets of paper so
a. to make tablets, but do not un-
derstand the proper composition for
putting on the ed ges. The follow
ing recipe is vouched for by compe-
tent authority: Glue, four pounds ;
glycerin, two pounds; lnseed oil,
one-half pound, sugar, one-quarter
pound; aniline dyes in sufficient
quantity to color. The glue is soft
ened BY soaking it in little cold
water, then dissolved, together with
the sugar, in the glycerin by aid of
heat over water bath. TO this the
dyes are added, after which the oil
is well stirred. 1t is used hot. An
other composition of somewhat
similar nature is prepared as fol-
lows; Glue, a pound; glycerin, four
ounces; glucose sirup, about two ia
blespoonfuls; tannin, one-tenth of
an ounce. Give the compositions
an hour or more in which to dry or
set before cutting or handling the
pads.

REAL SEA SERPEhTS.
Giant Ribbon Fish With Red Plures
and Heavy Names.

An interesting form of the sea
serpent Is the so called ribbon fish,
several speciILsns of which the writ
er has seen on the shores of Santa
Catalina island. This creature is
one of the most beautiful of all
fishes. 1t resembles white or silver
ribbon slashed with black. A long
fin extends its entire length, and
over the head form a number Of
plumes or pompons of vivid red
that in long specimens might easily
be taken for name waving to and
fro.
That this delicate ribbon fish at
tains very large size is generally
believed, as good sized specimens
have been captured. Some wears ago
fisherman was hauling net on
the coast of Scotland when it was
found that some heavy weight was
holding the net back. additional
help was obtained, and dozen men
finally hauled in monster fish,
which was estimated To weigh 500
pounds. 1t was a gigantic ribbon
fish, thirty feet or more in length,
so long and t~lvv that it required
the efforts of half a dozen men to
carry it along the deck.
1t was veritable sea serpent.
and extending from its head were
tall, deep red or scarlet plumes, like
fins, which formed sort of name,
frequently described as being seen
on the typical sea serpent. If these
fishes attain length of thirty feet
there is no reason why they may not
exceed this. and it is very possible
that some of the "sea serpents"
which have been observed at yari-.
Gus times were gigantic ribbon
fishes, which came up from the deep
sea and moved along with undulat-
ing motion at the surface. One of
the most remarkable as well as gil
gantic animals of the deep sea is the
giant squid, favorite tidbit of the
sperm whale.
The size to which these animals
grow, their strength and their hid.
eous appearance place them on par
with many of the weird and gro
tesque creatures of past age. The
squid undoubtedly attains a length
of nearly if not over 100 feet.-Chi-

The Willy Tibetan.

Natives of Tibet sometimes i'm
pose upon inexperienced European
hunters, according to traveller: "a
sportsman shoots at herd, say, of
ibex, which are always on difficult
ground. His guide says he has kill
ed one and advises him to give some
of the nearest villagers ) or 10 ru-
pees to go and look for it. In the
meanwhile an old head which has
been brought for the purpose is
stepped in water and dressed with
the raw flesh of a sheep or goat and
n a few days is shown as the one
found by the villagers, who, Of
course, have never been sent, the
guide pocketing the backsheesh and
buying for a fraction of the sum a
head as like the old one as possible
from the first skinman he meets
and palming it off ON the unsuspi-
cious sahib as the trophy of his
skill"
