Winnipeg, Manitoba.-A report from
Brandon, that the Great Northern will
build from there to Regina in the
heart of the Saskatchewan wheat
country, connecting there with the
proposed line between Regina and
Minot, n. d., caused little surprise in
railway circles here, where it is known
that j. j. Hill fully recognizes the
value of his system of feeders into
the great wheat belt of the Canadian
Western prairie.
This latest move is thought to be
part Of the ambitious project for a
Great Northern trunk line through
western Canada, paralleling the boun
Diary of which the Brandon-Regina sec

as early as Sunday morning, and dur
ing the entire day special trains add
ed their quotas to the throngs who
expect to get homes on the reserva-
tions.
Pending opening of the booths ut
midnight of sunday the streets were
lined with the crowds of happy-go-
lucky people who had come for the
purpose of registration. The greatest
good nature prevailed, and as almost
every state in the union is represent
ed, the "joshing" was without limit.
The feature of the situation to a
good many of the visitors is the pro-
posed carnival and reproduction of the
battle in which Gen. Custer lost his
life. A number of the Indians now
here were engaged in hat bloody en-
counter, and a realistic production s
expected.
The first four hours of the registra-
ton, beginning at midnight last night,
totalled 100 names an hour. D
Under the direction of Judge Wit
ten the most systematic arrangements
have been made. The notaries work
in eight hour shifts, so hat one may
register any time, day or night.
The people who are here to regis
ter have all kinds of attractions Of
fered them to make their stay in the
city pleasant. One of the most in
teresting sights to eastern visitors is
the Indian camp, where 800 braves
with their wives, children and many
doge are to be seen. The merchants
of the city have made an especial eff
fort to decorate their places of bust
ness.
John L. Sullivan and Jake Kilrain,
who are here for exhibitions during
the exposition, made their appearance
and swore to their slips which makes
them advocates of the simple life in

Aberdeen, S. D., Oct. Special:
Promptly at midnight last night the
doors of the registration booths swung
open TO receive the names of the APP
plicants for government lands on the
Cheyenne and Standing Rock agencies.
Within an hour after the opening
of the booths, $500 men and women
had registered for a chance at one
of the 10, 900 quarter sections of pub
lie lands. These booths will remain
open day and night until the end of
the registration period, and Judge
Witten, who had estimated the total
registration at all points at about
loo, 900, now intimates that there may
be that many at this point alone
There were thousands standing in
line when the work of registration be-
gan, and every train reaching the city
is crowded, with specials running on
all lines. 1t is estimated that 10000
will have registered here by midnight,
and the total registrations for the day
at all points may exceed 10000.
Two of the eighty %notaries who
will serve the people here are ladies
Mrs. Belle b. Fisher and Miss Eliza
beth Witzel. A numebr OF applicants
will attempt to secure the services
of these ladies-with a view OF Inn
proving their chances for success.
Two new hotels have been erected
here for the benefit of the visitors.
Besides these, there are a number of
large tents erected for the benefit Of

Steam Threshers' Bond

Pierre-The attention of the com
missioner of insurance has been called
to the alleged fact that many thresn-
ers are violating the law under which
every person owning or operating
steam threshers are required to take
out a bond or an indemnifying insur-
anc policy to the amount of $500 to
secure the farmers for whom they
thresh against loss occasioned from
fires set from the machines. Before
farmers allow threshers to begin they
should inquire neither the thresher
has taken out bond or policy; and, If
he has not, to at once report to this
department. My reason for asking
this will be seen from reading the last
section of the law, which reads as
follows:
Section 3146-Any person who shall
fail to execute a bond or take out and
keep in force the policy of insurance
required in the preceding section
shall be deemed guilty OF m~isdomean-
or, and upon conviction thereof shall
be fined not less than one hundred
($100) dollars nor more han three
hundred $4,000 dollars.

HEARINGS IN THE FAR WEST.
Disputed Cases Involve Territory Be
tween Chicago and Pacific
Coast.

Washington, d. Chairman Knapp
Cockrell, of the Interstate Commerce
Commission have left Washington for
Spokane where the entire commission
will begin hearings in probably the
most important series Of cases ever
brought before the commission.
While in the west the commission
will sit at Spokane, Seattle, San Fran
cisco, Reno, Ogden and Billings. Com.
missioners Prouty and Clark are al
ready in the west and have held hear
ings at Salt Lake, and Commissioner
Lane is in Chicago on his way further
west.
The cases to be heard involve prac-
tically all the rates in dispute In the
territory lying between Minneapolis
and Chicago and the Pacific coast.
The complaints thai have been filed
involve rates from eastern points to
the Rocky Mountain cities, and also
the rates back from the Pacific coast
to interior points. The question at is
sue is how far water transportation
shall govern railroad rates in fixing
tariffs TO inland cities.
The opinion of the commissioners
generally is that the rate situation in
the Rocky Mountain and Pacific coast
states should be greatly improved, and
the cases about to be heard will, it is
believed; serve as a medium for re,
adjusting rates in that section.
In view of the fact that complaints
have been filed by practically all the
principal cities, the decisions of the
commission will, it is believed, result
in settling the entire controversy.

Two hours later Wright made his
nrst ascent, encircling Governors Is
land and remaining in the air for sew
an minutes. After an hours rest,
Wright again went aloft, this time re-
naming in the air for six minutes and
30 seconds, attaining a speed esti-
mated at so miles an hour and with a
glorious sweep over the bay, passing
entirely around the great emblem of
liberty on Bedloes Island, to the north
west.
Wright made a third fight at 500
o'clock before a crowd of 1000 per-
sons. Yachts, excursion boats and
various craft had gathered on both
sides of the area, which is being used
as the aviation field, and they footed
their whistles as his machine rose
from the ground for the last fight of
the day. He did not attempt to fly
over the water nor did he so to any
great height, but executed two com-
plete circles in the air, then made an
excellent landing, while the crowd, in
Guiding his rival Curtiss, commented
on the ease with which he manipu-
lated his craft.
In all three of his fights, the Wright
machine showed greater speed than
that of Curtiss. but the Curtiss f1ier
seemed to keep its equilibrium better.
