A GREAT LAND RUSH

TALE OF Three VEL SHMEN

Spokane, Wash, July 24.-Among
the 100000 men and women registering
for the first three days for Indian
lands in the Spokane, Occur d'Alene
and Flathead reservations were three
brothers of the name Of Jones, who
came from Wales to file applications.
They arrived in New York on July IL
and went direct to Wardner, Idaho, a
lively mining town in the heart of the
Occur d'Alenes, east of here. where
their friends told them of the chances
in the big lottery for 100000 acres Of
land to be distributed by Uncle Sam.
Immediately the three Joneses re-
nounced their allegiance to Great
Britain and filed their declarations of
becoming citizens of the United
States. In the meantime they will
work in the mines. The rush of appli-
cants for land is far greater than was
anticipated and it is believed that
more than 100000 names will be filed.
Most of the transcontinental trains
from Missouri river points to Spokane
are run in two and three sections and
scores Of hundreds of persons in the
Pacific states are registering. The
drawings will take place at Occur d.
