MY father took out his naturaliza-
ton papers and became a citizen Of
the United States, what steps will /
have to take in gaining a home
stead?" one man asked yesterday.
He was advised to get copies Of the
papers and file them with his registra-
ton. He did not know where his
father had been granted his papers
and did not know where the originals
were. He was then advised to de-
clare his intention Of becoming a citi-
zen in the federal court, and he rush
ed out of the land Office to the clerk
of the federal court.
Hundreds of Spokane people are
planning to register for both the Spo-
kane and Occur d'Alene reservation
openings, and many others will go to
Kalispell or Missoula to register for
the Flathead lands. People from the
eastern states will have an opportun-
ity of stopping off either at Missoula
on the Northern Pacific or Kalispell
on the Great Northern, either going to
or coming from the Alaska Yukon
Pacific exposition. From Spokane the
trip to either Kalispell or Missoula
can be made for $25 or $50. The pas
senger departments OF both the North
ern Pacific and Great Northern have
put out considerable literature on the
Flathead reservation, and the Great
Northern has issued large folder on
the three reservations.
The passenger department Of the
Inland Empire system is planning to
handle 100000 people from Spokane
to occur d'Alene and return, and is
making special effort to answer the
thosuands OF letters Of inquiry. A
complete map of the reservation,
made from the plats and records in
the land Office at Boise, has been
made and copies are being sent to
inquirers. -Nampa Leader Herald.

The authors detail how valuable
coal deposits were found in this dis
trict in 1901. and how big chunks
were gobbled early by an English syn
dicate and By capitalists from Idaho
and the state of Washington.
"The other aggregation-the largest
OF the entire crowd of syndicates look

the Michigan-Alaska Development Co.
There were 10 claimants in this
about a quarter of them women. and
nearly all from Detroit. practically all
