that my mother is TO be kept by them a
virtual prisoner IN her own home during
the remainder of her life.
This feeling is embittered by the fact
that while In Concord, n. H., my daughter

Governors Johnson of Minnesota and

to Mayor Dahlman, who is keeping close

would undoubtedly satisfy the south and
would strengthen the ticket.
IF Johnson of Minnesota is named for

with the people to carry the state. And
he would be good man for the place, too.
But, as l said before, / don't believe Bryan

"Of course, Bryan will be the nominee
for president. When the people are united
on one man as they are on Bryan, the

will join In his support. II is a whole

cut much ice as a candidate, but he might
run as an independent candidate. He could
not do much, though"

SHETLAND CLAIMS ATTENTION
Statesmen Ask whether Island
should BE Given Back to
Norway.

GLASGOW, Sept. Especial )-Should
the Shetiands be handed back to Norway
This was the question put-to the premier
recently by Mr.. Cathcart Wason, the ho-
eral member of Parliament for Orkney ana
Shetland Mr.. wason, however, disclaimed
any desire to break up the British Isles
He admitted that he had phrased his ques-
tion In such a manner to attract public
attention It is not generally known that
the Orkney and Shetland ISLANDS were
formerly the property of Norway and were
formerly given up by that country James
III of Scotland married Margaret tne
daughter Of King Christian OF Norway IN

made It was agreed that her dowry should

came King Christian found that his treas
urv was empty and he gave the Islands IN
pledge. agreeing to redeem them when
he could raise the money. The debt mas
never been paid and the ISLANDS nave thus
remained a Scottish possession.
The people Of the islands are almost
pure Morse in blood, and until the END OF
the eighteenth century they spoke the
Morse language. Many Morse words are
stul retained in their dialect, and they
have little in common with the Scots OF
the mainland, whom they regard as Tor

Judge Allen w. Field took a shot at the

BILLINGS, Mont, Sept. l.-(Special)-
Although Uncle Sam conducted a lottery

'he Huntley irrigation project. many of
those who played 1t have learned that the
tickets were not transferable; that no
profit was to be made off the winnings.
except by actual acceptance of the land.
Ihey have come to understand that It was
case of taking farm or leaving it TO
someone else. The rights they secured
could not be utilized for speculative pur-
poses, as they were not transferable
Thus those who registered for the draw
Ing under the impression that they could
sell their number or ticket and make n
little easy money have not been heard from
since. There were others VINO were un-
able to raise the required money to make
their first payment on the land; they, too
have been dropped from the list of for
tunate ones. With the speoulators, the
impecunious and those who registered
simply to try their luck" OF whom there
were many hundred. and who had no in
tention of filing on land even though they
were fortunate enough to secure first
choice, eliminated, matters have adjusted
themselves to a solid basis.
Up to date about 1875 have filed on land
comprised within the project, leaving
something like 450 farms to be disposed of.
These vary in size from forty TO $50 acres
each, with the average OF irrigable land
to each unit about forty acres. Since Au-
gust q the unclaimed land has been open
to entry under the homestead law, which
means that five years of actual residence
kaFA 10
may be obtained. in addition to which the
entryman must pay the cost Of reclamation
and the price agreed upon with the Grow
Indians, "a an acre.
The land itself is among the most de-
sirable in the Yellowstone valley and the
fact that a majority of those who have
so far made entries are residents Of this
section and thoroughly familiar with the
land and conditions should be accepted
as evidencing its value and faith In the
proftableness of it's cultivation. This Is
further emphasized when consideration is
given the slight regard in which small
farms are held In this part of the country.
What makes the land particularly desirable
is its proximity to the sugar factory at
Billings. The company has obligated itself
to erect receiving stations at convenient
places on the tract and is prepared to
enter into contracts for all the beets
grown, at IS ton delivered at the re-
ceiving stations AS the yield is from sew
enteen to twenty tons an acre and the
cost of cultivation not to exceed $40 an
acre. beet raising should be profitable and
the entryman should have no difficulty
in making payments on his land which
extend over a long period, ten years. AL
falfa. fruit and general crops may be
raised with most excellent results TO the
man satisfied with moderate sized farm
with an assured market for everything ne
raises and a perpetual right to an abun-
dance of water for irrigation and all other
purposes, the government holds out excep-
tional inducements in the claims that may
be had at Huntley.

determine what civic duties by retired
soldiers do not interfere with military
