MAPS WILL SHOW
EACH ALLOTMENT
Judge Witten Tells How All the
Entries win Be
Made.

The first official statement made nv
Judge James w. Witten as to the man.
ner OF making entry ON Indian reser.
vatlon lands has been issued. It is nc
follows:
All persons to whom numbers. have
Oeen assigned, which entitle them to
make entry on either Occur d'Alene
flathead or Spokane reservations. will
De notified of the date when thew mnst
make their filings next spring. and
they will be furnished with q man
showing all allotted and reserved lands
and the classification and appraisement
OF each tract subject to enry.
A large copy of this map will be
posted In the land office, and as soon
as tract is entered it will be checked
on, SO that the map will at all times
snow each tract subject to entry. When
an applicants name is called, no one
VIII be permitted to enter the land Of
nee while the entries are being made
or allowed to inspect this map but an
applicant whose name is called and one
other person employed by him to assist
him in making his selection.
"All persons who act as locating
agents will be required to furnish each
applicant whom they locate with a
written statement and guaranty as to
the kind, character and topography of
the tract selected for him, and the de-
scription of the land selected must be
sworn TO by the locator or some other
person who has actually made a per-
sonal examination and inspection of the
land.
Since the land Office map will be the
only source from which any person can
ascertain the unentered tracts at the
time his number is called, an inspec-
tion CT the map will be absolutely
necessary, and no locator who failed to
give the statement mentioned will be
permitted to see that map
All persons holding numbers will be
permitted to go on the different reser-
vations for the purpose of inspecting
the unallotted lands at any time after
this date, but they should carry with
them the notice that number mas been
assigned them as evidence of their
right to inspect the land.
Each tract subject to entry will
have been examined, classified and ap-
praised by three commissioners APP
pointed by the president; and appii-
cants may, with reasonable safety, re-
ly on the judgment of these commits
sloners in making their selections from
the map, which will show the CLASH
fication and the appraised value of each
tract, and are not, therefore, neces,
sarily required to examine the land
themselves or secure the services of
some one else who has examined it.

OFFICIALS AT OUTS
BALLINGER-PINCROT CONTRO-
VERSY GETS WARM.
At National Capital 1t Is Thought One
or Other Must -Roosevelt's Pol
icy Again to the Fore Secretary Of
Interior Mr.. Balhnger, Claims to
Have Law on His Side May Be SO.

Official Washington is stirred by the
Plnchot-Ballinger controversy uncov-
cred at the irrigation congress at Spo,
kane, as it has not been since the "em-
balmed beef" scandal. Semi official
circles are buzzing with gossip, much Of
1T involving charges against both sides
in the fight, and published develop
ments are awaited as eagerly as was
news from the front.
The excitement is more intense be.
cause it is necessarily suppressed. Open
craftsmanship, or even an unpuarded
word, would seriously endanger the
heads of otficeholders who, while they
hover around the contestants, take
good care that they do not get in the
way of stray blows.
THE conservation movement is at
stake. The Roosevelt policy of trust
busting and Of utilization of our nat
ural resources for the people 3 benefit
hangs on the final outcome of the Bal
hngerPinc controversy This is
the. latitude of those partisans who
backSIb. Chief Forester Pinchot.
THE question is whether the laws
are to be construed as they are meant
to be, or stretched to cover I'D trans
gressions of their spirit and intent.
The Roosevelt policy of conservation
was founded on the principle that the
chief executive had authority to 90
ahead and do things unless there was
specific prohibition in the constitution
or the laws. That sort of a policy is
ruinous and extreme lis the view the
Ballinger advocates affect.
With the exception of the statement
denying the story of the filings by the
"water power trust" on Montana lands,
the interior department has remained
discreetly silent. Before Secretary Bal
linger left Washington rule warn.
ing employees not to discuss questions
affecting policies was issued and now
the injunction has been further
strengthened.
In the gossip around town tonight
much stress is laid upon the report that
another group of capitalists, represent
ing the biggest interest" of the coun.
try, are cooperating in an effort to Sc
cure, at any hazard, mineral lands in
Alaska whose value in the richness of
their coal deposits aggregate many
millions Of dollars.
Whether Pinchot or Ballinger loses.
it will mean that many employees in
the defeated man. bureau will walk
the plank The fight has gone too
far, it is generally believed, for both
Pinchot and Ballinger to remain in the
service Of the government.

IRRIGATION CONGRESS
RESOLUTIONS PASSED
Protection of the Interests of the Peo-
pie, the Theme-Better
Conditions.

Protection of the interests of the
people was the theme of the report of
the committee on resolutions which
was adopted by the National Irrigation
congress. Everything that will work
to the betterment of the condition of
the people, and especially to the farm
ers of the arid west, was Endorsed. OF
especial Importance were tic recoms
mendations regarding the requirements
for taking up public land, as to when
residence should begin on arid land and
how long it must continue. This was
one of the subjects frequently brought
into discussion during the deliberations
of the congress. Among the recon-
mendations made in the report of the
resolutions committee are the follow
ing:
That entrymen on public land under
irrigation projects should not be com
PEELED to take up their residence until
water is available.
That the national congress be asked
to appropriate $1O,OOO,0OO annually for
five years to complete government irri-
cation projects.
That the federal government be
asked to inaugurate at once drainage
reclamation of swamp lands.
That the national congress enact
legislation which will unity the sew
eral administrative agencies of the
government having charge of the fed
eral regulation and control of water
and waterways.
That steps be taken to bring about
legislation whereby drainage, deep
waterways, forest preservation and
reclamation may be provided for by
bond issue.
That the reclamation service and
forestry service be Endorsed.
That laws be enacted regulating the
cutting of timber and reforming the
taxation of timber lands.
That work of the United States geo
logical survey be Endorsed.
That there should be no political
divisional lines with reference to the
right to use water for irrigation or
other beneficial purposes.
That the water laws of western
states be Endorsed, adhering to the
principle that waters belong to the
people and denying the right of state
or federal agencies of governments to
convey water by franchises without
due compensation to the people.
That the national congress take ac-
ton toward a deep waterway from
the great lakes to the Gulf of Mexico.
That national forests be established
in the Appalachian and White noun
tains.

WIFE IN MANS CLOTHES.
John Paul, Nebraska Banker, Says It's
Not Right.

JOHN raul, NeDraSka Banker, Says IT. 3
Not Right.
John s. Paul, Florence (Neb) banker
and capitalist, can not stand for men .
clothing; that is, when they are worn
by his wife.
Because of this failing which he al
leges his wife has he has fled suit
for divorce. Mr.. Paul says that his
wlfe's fondness for male attire has
wrecked his homo and destroyed his
peace of mind. She is youthful and
has no complaints to make on her en-
dowments.
Moreover the wife, 80 Paul says, has
many little habits that make him ner.
vous. Some of these, he says, are more
than frequent. She SHES bricks at
him, calls him "Jackass Bill" and
"dead one" Any of the things
enumerated, Mr.. Paul says, are enough
to make a respectable banker ask for
freedom from his marital bonds.
