So that the fewer the registrations,
the better is the outlook for those
who do register. It does not seem
likely that there will be any rush at
any period during the registration:
The visiting of the registration cit
les, however, by considerable mum.
Der of strangers interested in land
ought to be beneficial to local land
men who are alive to their opportun-
tiles. They should be able to SOW
seed that will bear fruit in the fu-
ture. For there is much good land
in the western part of the state for
which a market can be found, if the
proper steps are brought to bring
the land to the attention of land
seekers who have money to invest.
Altogether, the registration will! be
a good thing for Bismarck, and for
all of the cities concerned.

We have accurate and reliable in
formation that DR.. Cook did not cut
his baby teeth until he was far past
the usual time for the necessary and
painful operation. That in school he
was slow to acquire the rudiments
of grammar, and that he was inor-
dinately fond of crackers and cheese.
Further researches into DR.. Cook s
past show that he sometimes cleaned
his slate with his coafsleeve. That
one time he chased a neignbor's cat
and drove it through thick hedge.
That he sometimes played hockey
from school and one time lied about
the length Of fish he caught when
a youth, adding an inch to it's real
length. AS he grew older he grew
taller and as he increased in height
he grew heavier, and when he came
to leave home he went out from un-
der the parental roof. He was no
longer single after he was married
and when he started for the north
pole he had no positive knowledge
of whether it was made of plain, un-
vanished wood or of striped mater
ial, like barber pole. All Of these
particulars regarding DR.. Cooks past
have been revealed, and as they have
positive and definite bearing on
whether or not he really reached the
North Pole, we submit them to the
public for whatever they are worth
in the premises.

Judging from the number of reg
Istrations for the drawings of land
On the Standing Rock and Cheyenne
river reservations for the first half
of the registration period, the total
number Of registrations will be
something less than 10000. Var
tration were made before the regis
7tration period began, and the total
number was placed as high as 200,-
900. 1t was not to be reasonably ex-
,pected that there would be as many
registrations as this. The reserva-
gtion lies considerable distance from
the centers Of population, and the
places OF registration, being properly
near the land, are at such a distance
{ from eenters of population that a
especial trip Of some distance is made
necessary. Indeed, If there is a total
,of loo, 900 registrations, 1t will be a
gratifying total. or this total, Aber.
deem will have total of something
less than $4,000 and the total reg
sistrations at Bismarck will be some
where about 10000. The fewer reg
istrations, Of course. the greater the
chance OF drawing lucky number.
A total Of 100000 registrations will
make the chance about one In eight
or ten This is a good deal better
than "a long chance. !" The man
who invests enough money to cone
to one Of the registration points and
has one chance in ten OF getting d
fairly valuable farm cannot complain
