CHANCE FOR FERTILE LANDS
Occur d'Alene Indian Reservation to
BE Opened.

COEUR D'ALENE, Ida, Feb. o.
If the vast number OF letters now be-
ing received at the local land office
inquiring as TO the Occur d'Alene
reservation is a criterian of the num-
Der likely to register when ii is
opened there will be tremendous
rush for the lands next tall. InQuir-
ers are constantly writing and COM
ing, endeavoring to learn when, AMI
the manner of opening, both facts OF
which Register r. \. Dunn is abso-
lutely ignorant. The general land
commissioner estimates there will
be $4,000 acres of land open for
settlement after the 525 Indians
with $50 acres each have been al
lotted. Approxima tely there are a
little more than II townships, in
round numbers 100000 acres. OF
this, $4,000 acres or more OF the
very choicest will go to the Indians,
who have the first choice. Should
all the remaining land be good, near
ly 1000 persons could make filings
on 100 acres each. However it is
claimed by those going over the land
that about one-quarter is not very
desirable, leaving 1,500 100 acre
homesteads, or perhaps 100, mas
much as many will take more desir.
able locations of less area Count
ing four persons to the family, this
would mean $500 residents added
within a few days. But this really
represents small proportion of
those who will seek homes. When
the Crow reservation was opened
there were 700 homesteads of 100
acres each after the Indian allot-
ments. Those registered for the 700
tracts totaled 1900 people The
Crow lands were arid and need irri-
should register for the better lands,
the number of persons visiting the
land office will reach fully $4,000
perhaps $4,000 would be a closer
estimate.
Practically all will pass through
Spokane and all must come to Occur
d'Alene.
The reservation will be claSsed
after the allotment to the Indians as
| agricultural. grazing and timber
| lands. All will be open for home
stead, but stone and timber filings
will not be applicable. The films
fee will amount to S22 per 100
acres However, in addition TO the
filing fees each hcmesteader will be
required TO pay the appraised value
of the land. amounting 10 only a
nominal figure-probably not more
than s. an acre. The greatest price
paid for the Nez Perez lands did nor
exceed $3.50. The payments are
one fifth cash at time of entry and
the remainder in five equal annual
| installments. Should payments fail
to be made the land reverts to the
| government. Lands classed as tim
Der lands may not be commuted; all
others may by paying the appraised
value.
No one knows when or the manner
the lands will be opened for settle
ment.
Some Lof the lands include the
very choicest wheat lands, some hav.
ing been put under cultivation by
the Indians for years. The timber
lands are considered much more
valuable. but they will require "a five
years actual residence before the
patent is obtainable Some of the
timber is close TO the lake and
streams, which will make a good
quarter section worth from $4,000
to $4,000.

DOUBTFUL STATUS
Of IMMIGRATION

No more steamships will be chartered
by the Board of immigration to bring
Europeans here until it is definitely
advised from Washington that more
assisted immigrants than those now
recruited may be admitted under the
amended law The third ship charter
ed, the Kumeric, is expected to sail
between April % and 80 with Spaniards
and Portuguese to the number of about
20G0.
Governor Carter, differing from some
others, believes that the Presidents
advice to him to go ahead with Euro
pean immigra ton until otherwise in
structed carries authority beyond the
charters made on which he was con-
suited. Yesterday the Governor sug-
gested that he might call a special ses-
sion of the Legislature TO consider i'm

Morning Session.

Consideration of the departmental
appropriation bill was the first business
taken up by the House, yesterday morn
ing, this bill being up for the third
reading. As amended the bill carries
81, ,557 ,465.
Rawlins offered an amendment to
the item for the repair of landings and
wharves, desiring the amount for Oahu
made 1000 instead of $4,000 as pro-
vided, pointing out that there We're
thirty big wharves on the Honolulu
waterfront, calling for at least the
larger amount.
Rice objected to amendments on a
third readings The bill was going up
to the Senate and many changes would
probably be made and there was the
place for inserting the larger item for
Oahu wharves.
The amendment was lost.
Kaleiopu made an earnest effort to
secure a reconsideration of the Pro

Kaleiopu denied that the newspapers

RICE COT
HEATED Up
Kauai Member Winces
at Criticisms of
the Press.
HousE+TwENTY-FouRTH DAY.

The Honolulu press came in for
some attention at the hands of the
House members yesterday, the members
seeming to realize of sudden that
their actions and doings were the sub
jects of comment
Speaker Holstein began the matter
by remarking that the press had treat
ed Representative Comes shabbily, in
asmuch as he had not signed commit
tee report as stated and then voted
against it. This appears to be fact,
although the members of the commit
tee and Comes himself thought he had
signed the report until the comment
in the Advertiser drew close attention
to it. The neglect to sign was an
oversight, but the member wanted
credit for the oversight.
Rice, of Kauai, ventured the opinion
that the Honolulu papers wanted to
dictate the course of the government
and urged the members to stand firm
against such influence.
Most of the time of both the morn
ing and afternoon sessions was taken
up in sundry chickering's between mem
bers over items in the departmental
appropriation bill, when Oahu found a
solid array against her, and over the
salary figures for some Hawaii county
offices, in which the delegation from
the Big Island drew party lines against
themselves and fought a triangular
battle, with other islanders assisting.
Incidentally the House rebuked the
Senate for meddling with and spelling
one of it's bills.

FOR TUBERCULOSIS
City Officials Looking About to
 Fit Up Ward.

The city officials who went to
 Bridgeport Saturday learned consid-
 erable regarding charities in that
 place which may prove useful to them
 in the effort now being made for the
 establishment of tuberculosis ward
 at the Brookside home. For years
 past, even in the time of ,ne old town
 government, the public felt the need
 of tuberculosis ward at the alms-
 house, bus the thing never was push
 ed until the advent of the Thoms ad
 ministration, when Superintendent
 Morris and the commissioners of the department of charities took hold of
 it in earnest and succeeded in getting an appropriation of $2,500 to make commencement on the work. This
 was about half what was needed and the commissioners hesitated about going ahead and contended itself with having plans drawn and calling for proposals which will be received to- morrow night.
 At Bridgeport the tuberculosis hos pital stands short distance from the almshouse building, while the plan here is to finish up the top floor of the BrOOkside home and fit it Ill for a hospital where consumptives may be treated This is by no means what those who have the matter in hand would like to do, but if it isl the best that can be done they will be likely to go ahead with it. They would like to have such a place as they saw in Bridgeport, and as this didn't cost over 5000 there does not appear to be any reason why sufficient funds cannot be raised to enable the board to put up such a building as the city ought to have for that purpose.
 Many think it mistake to lay out 1 any money in fitting up place on top of the Brookside and claim that it | would pay to wait little longer in the hope of doing better. The mat ter has been pretty we'll aired the past l few weeks and in the opinion of some very good people the city can get enough money to enable it to build and equip a first class tuberculosis hospital provided it goes about it in the right way and makes an appeal for aid. Some of the manufacturers have already taken up the proposi- tion and unless all signs of the times fail they will get together and do handsome for a tubercul- osis hospital so that when it comes it will be first class institution of the kind. With this end in view it has been suggested that action be de- ferred upon bids for the proposed tuberculosis ward until such time as it can be determined whether or not better can be had ac- cording to the plans mentioned in the call for proposals is not among the probabilities of the near future.
