The registration for lands in the
Occur d'AIene. F'lathead and Spokane
Indian reservations came to 4 close
last night at midnight, and with its
conclusion there came to an end one
OF the most interesting events that
the city has ever experienced, an
event that has had attached 10 it ma
tional significance and interest. and
which has given Occur d'Alene more
publicity than all the advertising ii
has done in the years gone BY or 1t
can do in the years to come. In view
Of the fact that It was the last day
rush had been anticipated. but instead
OF heavy registration it was light,
4,SO7, and when the hour OF 3 o'clock
had arrived last night the business
had practically ceased, and little
after thst most OF the notaries had
closed the doors, and but few fingered
until the closing hour. The total reg
istration now Tor the Occur d'Alene
Is I04. A the total for the Spokane,
96.s2l. and the total for the Flathead
L. 7s,292 making grand total OF
274,52s. There are still'a number OF
applications TO be received for the
Occur d'Alene, and the mails for the
next three days will bring many more
for the Spokane and FIathead, and 1t
is estimated that the total rsgistra-
ton for all three reservations Will
easily exceed the 800. 900 mark.
Streets Deserted.
The streets. which have been
thronged with people ever since the
opening, this morning are deserted,
and instead of the scenes ar intense
activity. business In general has re-
turned to its normal state. The no.
tarial booths. where all has, been ac-
tlyity and business for the past three
weeks. are deserted and most Of them
are being torn down by workmen.
The newspaper solicitors who piled
their trade daily, reaplng a harvest
for themselves as well as the papers
they represented. are gone and the
song OF the 'spielers for the launch
and steamboat lines and various other
enterprises. which rose above the din
or the streets. is no longer heard.
While the streets this morning, as
compared with the rush of the days
of the registration. can be pronounced
deserted, there are still many left who
are remaining to witness the drawing
on Monday. and it Is expected that

from all OF the towns in the Inland
| Empire. and that next week again the
elty win be thronged with interested
Andseekers and that the hotel ac-
kommodations viii be taxed to their
utmost.
