- On October 10, the Rosebud Indian
lands, a considerable territory on the
south line of South Dakota, are to be
opened to settlement The lands are
described as very desirable for farm
ing and stock raising. When the 9TH
er Rosebud lands in Gregory county
were opened, four years ago, 100000
registered for the lottery drawing by
which the government determines the
order of choice. A much larger terri
tory is to be opened this fall than then,
and, taking into account the financial
depression in the east, a tremendous
number of registrations is expected.
People may send in their applications
by mail or otherwise to the superin-
tendent after they have been sworn to
in Dallas, Chamberlain, Gregory, or
Presho, South Dakota, or at Valentine,
Nebraska. Persons who are successful
in the drawing will be permitted to
take up 100 acres or less, at some date
after March l, 1909, and may obtain
tI,a
and cultivation and the payment of Sc
an acre for all lands entered prior to
June l, 1909, or $3.50 an acre for lands
entered under the presidents procla-
nation after that date.
Waxhaw, n. c., Enterprise: The
Seaboard Air Line, now in receivers
hands, will in all probability be put up
and sold by the United States court
the latter part of February or the first
of March. 1t is understood that a
number Of improvements of the prop
erty will be made before the sale of
the road. Anticipating sale, it is re-
ported that a quiet but steady fight
for future control is being waged by
John Shelton Williams, and the 9TH
er by Thomas F. Ryan, who is leader
of the interests who were in charge OF
the road when it was placed in the
hands of the receivers. No definite in
formation can be secured as to the in
tentions of the Williams faction, which
is said to be working quietly, waiting
for a move by the Ryan interests. The
latter are said to be equally as silent,
awaiting some announcement of the
plans of the Williams forces. In this
connection it is reported that plans are
being made by E. H. Hartman to Sc
cure the Atlanta and Birmingham di-
vision of the line, which will give him
a direct outlet to Atlanta for the Illi-
nOis Central. While Hartman owns
the Central of Georgia from Birming
ham to Savannah, the Atlanta and Bir-
mingham division of the Seaboard
would give him direct entrance into
Atlanta.
