commissioner of the general land Of
fee has found it necessary to issue d
statement to the effect+that the Flat
head Indian reservation in Montana
will not be opened to entry this year,
as the preliminary work which is nec-

for opening before 1908. The reserva-
ton will be opened for entry under

the prescribed rules and regulations.
The commissioner also finds it neces-

TO PAY RUFF THE COSTS
RUDOLPH S~PRECkLES REVIEWS
HIS PLEDGE.
PROSECUTION TO HAVE AMPLE FUNDS
In Case the Costs Exceed 100000,
the Money Will Be
Forthcoming.

San Francisco, March 30.-Rudolph
Spreckles, who, by backing the prose
cution in the graft investigation with
his fortune, made the present investi-
cation possible, gave to the press a
statement in which he said:
contributions from citizens to the
fund of $4,000 guaranteed by me
before the commencement Of the brib-
cry graft investigation are coming in
steadily, though slowly. They are in
amounts ranging from $40 to 81, 900
and more"
in the event that the ultimate
total of subscriptions falls short of
the 500, 900 guaranteed, will you make
up the deicit?" Mr.. Spreckles was
asked.
He replied:
Il certainly will. And if it costs
more than 500, 900 to complete this
prosecution, that will make no differ
ence. Those engaged in it's further
ance will never be hampered by lack
of funds, no matter what the bill may
be.
THE work of investigation will not
be suspended until every bit of rotten
has been fully exposed. We fully ex-
pect to land behind the bars of the
penitentiary every giver of brides and
that the higher up the offender, the
more vigorous will be his pursuit.
I'VE do not; however, expect to
send every bribe-taker to prison. Some
of the miserable men who sold them
selves to the corporations must be
granted immunity in aid for their tes-
timony-which is worth a great deal
more to us as evidence of the guilt of
high corporation officials than their
own Incarceration would be-"
In conclusion Mr.. Spreckles said:
Every department of the city and
county government will be thoroughly
examined into before the investigation
is completed, the police department
along with the others. No one will be
neglected, no set of officials will be
overlooked"

GREEN BUG IN OKLAHOMA
Great Damage Done to Wheat and
Oats Crop. .

Oklahoma City, Okla.-C. v. Top
ping, secretary of the Oklahoma Mill
ers' Association, who has received re-
ports from every section of Oklahoma,
in a report made public today estimates
that ID per cent of the wheat and %
per cent. of the oats crop is destroyed
by the green bug. There is, he says,
not a section where the pest has not APP
peared, while in some sections both
crops are wholly destroyed.
The bug is now beginning to fly, and
it is believed the next ten days will see
the end of its ravages.
