Occur d'Alene Reservation Cannot be

LETTER TO BURTON L.FRENCH
Latest Information From the Seat
of Government.

The TRIBUNE is indebted to the
courtesy of Congressman Burton l..
French for information concerning
the Coeur d Alene Indian reserva.
ton which is to be thrown open to
entry and settlement. The infor-
nation, which is contained in a
letter to Mr.. French from c. F. Lar
rabee, acting commissioner of the
office of Indian affairs at Washington,
D. G., dated April Is, is as follows
The Act Of June FL, 1906, ga
Stat, 325), provides that after the
survey of the lands within the Coeur
d Alene Indian Reservation, in
Idaho, and allottments therein to
the Indians have been completed,
the surplus lands not reserved for
agency, school, or other purposes
shall be classified as agricultural,
grazing or timber lands, appraised,
and opened to settlement under the
provisions of the homestead law at
not less than their appraised value,
by proclamation of the president
which shall prescribe the time when,
and the manner in which, the lands
shall be opened to settlement. The
act also extends the general mining
laws to the lands embraced within
the reservation.
Mineral entry may be made for
any of said lands but no mineral
location will be permitted for any
lands allotted in severalty to the
Indians.
In interpreting this clause the
office has held that the act also
applies to lands in the occupation Of
any Indian. All coal and oil de-
posits in or under the lands within
the reservation remain the property
of the United States, and the Secre-
tary of the Interior is authorized to
reserve such tracts for townsite
purposes as in his opinion may be
| required for future public interests.
The lands that will be thrown
open to settlement and entry will
aggregate approximately $4,000
aLres.
| am informally advised by the
commissioner of the general land
office that the survey in the field is
now being made and will be com
pleted by July lst. After the
survey has been accepted the work
Of making allottments will commence
and under the act must be completed
before the lands can be classified anc
appraised.
The letter concludes with the
following paragraph:
AS the work of making allotment.
will require considerable time yo,
will readily see that it is not possible
for the seservation to be opened tt
settlement this year.

RAILROAD LEGISLATION.

hSSoi illlH W luG runway
OF Chicago, the President will recon-
mend law that will regulate the
Issue of stocks and bonds for the
construction OF new roads and extern
sion and betterment OF old lines.
There is nothing unfair in this If It
is reasonable and Its application is
In the control of proper experience"
says the Railway Journal. ut Will
not prevent men of wealth investing
in roads that can pay n fair interest
on the money, though 1t will prevent
much manipulation aud watering of
stock The railways can we'll afford
to approve and support bill of the
sort suggested. We have always felt
that this sort of regulation would do
away with much rate legislation"
To those who have studied in
dispassionate manner the railway
situation for years, 1t seems ineyita-
bic that if the government is going
to regulate the income Of railroads
1t should take hand in regulating
the Issue of their securities. It has
long been II favorite method OF pre-
datory wealth to issue volumes of Sc.
curitles based on the tangible or in
tangible assets of railways, thus cap.
italizing their future and then look
to the operators of the roads and
the public in the sections they ira
verse to furnish the money to pay
dividends on the watered stock
There Is no real reason why rail
way stock should appreciate ten per
cent In one day as is frequently :l;e
case on the Stock Exchange Only n
rev years ago n certain stock scared
TO ten times it's face value In twenty
four hours. Its rapid rise indicated
nothing except that two groups Of
capitalists we're contesting for pos.
session of a certain railroads. 1t be-
Ing understood that whoever sue.
eeeded could, by manipulation of
4rates and the routing OF freight, in.
crease the dividends on their present
holdings.
Railroads stand apart from almost
every other class of securities in that
they derive their revenue entirely
from the people as a whole, the same
as does the government. Therefore
they must expect treatment different
from that of any other class of cor
norations and 1t would seem that the
national government should take
some steps to prevent the watering
OF stock, which is inevitably follow
ed by an attempt to fasten fixed
charges upon the public service. Mr.
y. II. Hartman, at present more ir
the public eye than any other rail
road man, has apparently realized the
situation and is trying to make hi.
