HOUSES.

Minneapolis, Oct. 6. - Lumbermen
and catalogue houses are evidently
hghting heated battle before the fed
eral grand jury, for although no word
OF what is going on has been let drop
from the jurors, the fact that many
lumbermen have testified and that
they have carried into the jury room
papers and magazines containing adj
vertisements of the mail order houses
indicates that they are carrying the
light into the enemy's territory.
1t is asserted that the lumbermen
have made a counter charge against
the mail order houses, claiming that
they advertise to sell things they do
not possess. 1t is also asserted that
the advertisements often contain di.
rect attack on the lumber trust" and
that may be the reason for the fight.

OPEN UP, FORT PECK.
Treaty With the Indians Has Been En-.

tered Into.
The Fort Peck Indian reservation In
Northeastern Montana, containing
about 100000 acres. or one-half that
contained in the Flathead reservation
In Northwestern Montana, is soon to
be opened for settlement The Flat
head reservation will be opened next
year.
A treaty providing for the opening
of the Peck reservation has just been
entered into between James McLaugh-
lin, on behalf of the government and
379 male Indians on behalf of the
tribes. The Indians bound by the
agreement are the Sioux and Assinni-
boine tribes belonging and having
rights on the reservation. The red
men agree to surrender to the govern
ment all land within the reservation,
provided that allotments of 800 acres
each shall first be made to every man,
woman and child belonging to or hav-
ing tribal rights on the reservation
who have not heretofore received al
lotments. 1t is agreed that if the gov
eminent irrigates the lands forty acres
thereof may be included. In addition
heads of families and adult members
more than eighteen are allotted the
timber lands within the reservation
bordering along the Missouri river,
and, further, 100-acre allotments Of
non-irrigable lands are to be made to
each child born to the Indians who are
parties to the agreement so long as
the reds are in possession of any I'M
allotted tribal or reservation lands.
The agreement provides for the APP
pointment of a commission of three to
inspect, appraise and value all lands
not allotted or reserved, and they
shall be divided into three classes
first and second class agricultural
lands and grazing. When this is done
the lands shall be disposed Of under
the homestead and townsite laws Of
the United States, the date to be fixed
by the president. In no case shall the
valuation be less than $1.25 an acre.
After deducting the expenses the
funds so received are to be credited to
the Indians by the national treasurer.
and from this $4,000 will be set aside
annually as pension for the aged red
men. At the end of fifteen years the
sum remaining shall be distributed
equally among the Indians.
The land is situated chiefly in Val
ley county and is watered by the Mis-
souri, and Milk rivers and most advan-
tageously situated for reclamation.
