TRIP COUNTY IS
CYNOSuRE OF HORDE
OF H0MESEEkERS
Country Greatly Interested in
Opening Which Will Be a
Year Hence.

Washington. July e.-Ever since con-
gress pushed h bill last February opA
ening the Indian lands of Trip III
ty. South Dakota, interest has been
growing and 1t is declared thousands
of people in nearly every state are in
tently watching the movements Of the
government with the expectation OF
making every effort to secure for them
selves a portion OF the land when the
time comes for action.
The act provides that this tract
which embraces nearly q million acres.
unusually rich. shall be sold to settlers
on the basis of SO per acre. The fact
nat these lands are situated fairly in
the corn belt region and then that this
is about the last valuable tract OF
government lands that will be opened
to settlers in the great northwest lends
additional interest and indicates the
probability of this being the most
largely attended opening the country
has witnessed.
Opening . Year hence.
The date Of the opening will be fixed
by the president in a special procla-
nation and Will no information is
given to the public at this time. it is
generally believed that practically the
same methods adopted in opening the
Gregory county lands three years ago
will be followed. A large number of
towns have already made application
to be named as points Of registration.
Up to this time nothing has been done
and 40 definite Information can be OBJ
tanned relative to registration points.
1t seems reasonably certain, however,
that the terminals of the railroads will
be in some Of the registration towns,
Further than this, Interested mes do
not seem able to have 4 basis for even
an intelligent guess. Certain Is IL
that deep interest is abroad concern
ing this millionaire domain. and IL
is declared at the general and office
that no such interest was ever before
manifested in an opening, and that tho
fall of 1908 will witness the pilgrimage
OF thousands Of people to the OPEN
Ing.

VAST UNDERTAKING.

So comprehensive, so nll-lnclusivc,
SO positively tremendous as to be
without doubt the greatest undertake
ing In tho worlds history--this Is the
plan Of action mapped out by the In
land waterways commission ut it's
sessions In Washington.
Few persons who have read the
lrlef ncws dispatches sent out from
the national capital have the romot-
est idea of the vastness OF tho task
these brilliant and capable gentlemen
have set themselves. Primarily, the
work of this latest commission Is to
find Il solution of the transportation
problem, than which no single indus
trial situation could he mroe trans.
cendcntly important But, bound up
In this problem arc many others,
eqch Of which deserves place In
the front rank In point of Importance
to the general welfare and prosperity
of the country ut large.
The commission has before II eight
distinct propositions. Tho first OF
these is navigation of inland water.
ways. The next is Qualification of
these waterways. Stream manage
ment occupies third place. In the
fourth place the utilization of water,
power must be considered. The
fifth proposition is reclamation. Sixth
of the list Is the matter Of sewage
control: Land Improvement and fish
cries occupy seventh and eighth
places. All of these propositions,
though distinct in themselves. are
tightly bound nip In tho problem of
inlamd water transportatlon-they
are the problem!
Tho first on--navigatlon--
is easily sraspod, though by no means
simple problcm to sclvc. 1t natur-
ally involves rivers. streams. canals,
ship canals. boat canals, bridges and
all other works affecting tho naviga-
billy of inland waterways. of course,
in the most general way. And this
proposition has lccn battling our
best engineers and brightest lcgisla-
tors for generations. II deserves
first place. The other seven propo.
sitions, together with stnl others not
mentioned. arc more specific.
For instance. the question of clar-
ification ut the outset indicates clear
water for municipal supplies. But
the inland waterways commission
does not propose to stop there. Clar-
ification of inland streams also
means the doing away with silt,
which in turn means the end of sand
bars and mud bars, the preservation
OF river banks and any number of
| other things. each immensely i'm.
portant In itself. Instead of one city
or town or village putting up expen
sive works for the purpose of clari-
flying river water for domestic and
Industrial uses locally, the commits
sion would have the federal govern.
ment do this work at the headwaters
OF the streams, thus providing clear
water for everybody along the rivers
course.
Out III the middle west, and, in
deed, in every section where there
is Il river of any consequence, the
question of stream management is
ever 4 burning one. Stream manage.
mcnt involves the control of floods
and the prevention of slow water. AT.
ter all the years OF effort to control
floods in the Mississippi valley, the

New York, July 1.-THE cotton

continued firmness, taking the day as

The opening was steady at an ad-

New York, July 17-Priccs of sticks
were alternately up and down all day
today, and the movement became few
er1sh late in the day with the qIlcK
transition from rising TO falling Len-
dency. Dealings were not on An i'm
Dortant scale outside a few issues.
1t was the conflicting movement of the
most conspicuous of these that kept
the list unsettled. Union Pacific was
the prominent influence on the part
of the advance and United States
Steel on the side of the decline, the
weakness of the latter overwhelming
the late market. The demand for
Union Pacific was persistent and de
termined and that stock was general
ly regarded as the center of organized
operations to support the market for
the convertible bonds, Of which ST.
900, 900 out of SIS, 900, 900 has fallen to
the underwriting syndicate, was of
the accredited motives for the support
of Union Pacific. The wide decline in
the price Of copper after being long
arbitrarily held at about % cents. is
an example that feeds anxiety owe the
iron situation and the fact that most
other metal markets are declining is
an additional factor. The copper
stocks were weak in company with
