GIVES RULES FOR
FREE LAND FILING
James w. Wilton, Superintendent of
Reservation Openings, Answers
Inquiries.

Inquiries as to the qualifications re-
quired of a person who files an applica-
tion for registration as agent for
former soldier in one of the three In
dian reservations which will be thrown
open this summer have been so frequent
to James w. Written, superintendent
of the opening, that he has sent the
following instructions to the land Offices
at Spokane, Occur d'Alene, Idaho, and
Missoula and Kaispell, Mont:
"Any person, married or single, male
or females, who is of requisite age to
act as agent for another in an ordinary
business transaction will be permitted
to file applications for soldiers under
duly executed powers of attorney.
"No person can act as agent for
more than one soldier at any registra-
ton point. The same agent may regis
ter for the same or different soldiers
for each of the three reservations, but
a separate power of attorney is needed
for each registration.
The printed pamphlet sent out by
the department of the interior, giving
information in regard to the opening,
says:
"Soldiers or sailors who were honor
ably discharged after 90 days service
during the war of the rebellion, the
Spanish-American war or the Philip
pine insurrection, or their widows or
minor orphan children, need not go to
either of the registration points for the
purpose of registering, but may register
through agents appointed by them for
that purpose. All agents must be APP
pointed on blank powers of attorney
which will be furnished by me on APP
plication at Washington, D. c., at any
time before July 5, and after that date
at Occur 'Alene, Idaho.
Separate Power of Attorney.
Soldiers, sailors or their widows OF
minor orphan children may appoint the
same or different persons to act for
them in registering for different reserv-
ations, but no person can appoint more
than one agent for the same reservation
and no agent can register for more than
one soldier for any one reservation. A
different and separate power of attorney
must be given for each reservation to
the same or different persons.
"Powers of attorney must be sworr
to by soldiers, sailors, their widows OF
minor orphan children, or their guar
dams, before some officer having 6
cool and autborizad to administer oat his
at some place within the United States
and the name of the agent must b,
written into the power Of attorney be
fore it is sworn to by the soldier. The
application for registration presented
by the agent must be sworn to by hin
at registration point for the reserva
tion for which he registers.

A Confidential Letter

Dear Father:
Even the beby's toys have not been spared in
this new tariff tax.
The little wooden elephant that is in baby Is

congress is trying to burden with heavier tariff

baby.
Anybody here representing children" bawls
Chairman Payne.

special legislation in favor of the Standard Oil
trust stocking trust the wooden trust and the
cotton goods trust-all these sleek crafty and COM
Portable gentlemen-shake and jolt about in their
chairs at the chairmans joke.
Nobody here to represent the babies" bawls
Payne. "Ail right. Probably they don't care. Mr..
Boute1l, the babies and the ultimate consumers
seem to be rather scarce around here
So it's toys the toy list. The little tin
soldier. the baby doll of sisters, the mechanical
toy that winds up. the wooden horse and COW and
the thing that squeaks All the little marvels
that bring Joy to childhood. Oh, no. They not

Only spare the trusts, Standard OIL the shoe

Dear Father, what do you thing OF this Payne

Wouldn't you rather they would put little

Well, break loose with 2-cent stamp-or

To the Editor Of the Times:
We're, often grieved by crowded
cars
And swinging on the straps,
BY hanging to the cable when
IT'S raining hard, perhaps.
But here's the rack of torture,
The worst of all by farI
The great long-legged steps we
climb
On the Point Defiance car.
You need to have ladder
If you're not an acrobat:
You have no show at all IL you
Are either short or fat.
IT'S dangerous when the steps are
up
So near the trolley wire.
II one should get foot on that
Results would be most dire.
You men upon the council.
Here's job that you cal, do.
Just make that company put in an
extra step or two,
We've hung upon the straps and
we
Have rode outside and In;
But we object to car-steps
ANY higher than our chin.
