Occur d'Alene Indian reservation in
idaho, where 100000 of it's 1000
acres of agricultural, grazing and tim
bered lands will be distributed among
homesteaders by the government lot
terry plan at Occur d'Alene, 80 miles
east of Spokane, beginning the morn
ing of August Q, is one of the three
reserves in the Inland Empire to be
opened this year. The other two are
the Spokane in eastern Washington
5000 acres of agricultural lands, and
the Flathead in western Montana, with
100000 acres Of agricultural and graz
dng lands. Those eligible to settle on
this land must register at either Kalis-
pei or Missoula, Mont, for the Flat
head; at Occur d'Alene, for
the Occur d'Alene, and at Spo-
kane, for the Spokane reservation
Registration will begin ON July Is and
continue until August 5. All applica.
Aions for registration must be mailed
in plain envelope, LIZ by inches,
TO James w. Witten, superintendent of
opening, Occur d'Alene, Idaho.
The passing of the reserve from the
hands of the historic tribe to white
settlers marks an epoch in the annals
of the northwest; it's settlement next
April means homes for from 1000 to
10000 persons, probably many of them
from crowded cities in the east, and
the development of the lands will add
several millions of dollars annually to
the wealth production of the Inland
Empire.
The reservation has an interesting
history, dating from the early 3O's,
when French Canadian employees of the
Hudson Bay company stirred up among
the untutored reds a desire for the
coming of "Black Robes as the mis-
sionaries were known in those days.
Fathers De Smet, Gregory, Mangarini
and Nicholas Point, accompanied by
Brothers Specht, Huet and Claessens,
come from st. outs in 1841 and lived
among the Indians. They founded
their first mission in the Bitter Root
valley in Montana, near the site of
the present town of Stevensville, where
they afterward erected a church and
parish house and cultivated the land.
Several years afterward Father Josef
Joined the band of workers and the
Occur 'Alene mission was established.
Father Josef later became superior
of the Rocky mountain mission, which.
IN 1907, was united with the Califor-
mia mission. 1t is headed by Rev
Father George De la Motto of Spo-
kane, whose jurisdiction now embraces
the states of California, Oregon, Wash
ington, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming.
North and South Dakota and southern
Alaska, an area of 100000 square miles.
ia the early days some of the In
dams, then in their prime, were looked
upon as medicine men," endowed
with supernatural power, and, conse-
quently of great influence among their
fellows. When the priests began their
work they condemned that superstition
and the medicine men gradually lost
their power and influence. Old and
young today are devout adherents of
the Roman Catholic religion. The men
devote themselves to athletic sports
and games between the ceremonies, be-
ing especially fond of baseball and
horse racing. Indian officers maintain
a vigilant police system and offenders
are punished by imprisonment in the

Jail at De Smet. Drunkenness is not
tolerated.
Pierre Wildshoe, chief of the tribe,
and successor of Andrew Seltice, who
died in 1902, while not the wealthiest,
is one of the most respected and infu-
entail men on the reservation. Pierre
Moctielma is sub-chief and John Dav-
EXPORT, who was raised by white per-
chant of the same name at Colfax,
Wash, is head of the Indian police.
They are respected by all who know
them.
Louis Mitchata probably is the
wealthiest of the Occur d'Alene In
dams. He is reputed to be worth at
least $4,000, of which $4,000 is in
money at interest. He lives in a
house which would be no discredit to
any farer in the country, and has a
good barn for stock and convenient
outbuildings. A. grove of trees sur
rounding large fish pond is a pretty
feature of the premises. Lo-lo, who
lives near the government sawmill, a
few miles east of the mission, has DOS
sessions in livestock and cash to the
amount of $4,000. Chief Wildsohe is
worth $4,000, and Others have from
1880 to $4,000.
The great age reached by number
of these people is matter of interest.
Father Caruana, of De Smet mission
says that Charles, who died there
years old. He was totally blind for
years before his death, and was waited
on by his daughter, who died later,
deaf and blind, at the age of 90 years.

died recently at the age of 90 years,
and Victoria, of the same tribe, is sup
posed to be in her Goth year. Scam-tal-
am-to, a Spokane squaw, who lives on
the reservation, is 81 years. There are
several Others past the four score
period.
The reservation is situated wholly in
kootenai county, Idaho, and contains
Approximately 625 square miles, or
100000 acres of lands, of which two
thirds is cultivable and capable of high
development. The rest is heavily tim
bered with white and yellow pine, &C.
dar, tir and tamarck, and is subject to
entry under the homestead laws at its
appraised value. The cost of these
lands has not yet been determined
While the principal crops produced are
wheat, oats and hay, the soil has proved
itself to be admirably adapted to the
cultivation of potatoes, sugar beets
and other root crops, also tree and vine
fruits.
The Indian population of the reser-
7ation is 500 Occur d 'Alenes, of whom
'55 are males. There are also OF Spo.
cane Indians. A census taken early
his year shows the sexes are nearly
evenly divided. These people each
'wn 100 acres of land and have $500

by the Chicago, Milwaukee & Puget

In contemnt In Odd Case.

For the first time in so serious a
case the supreme court of the United
States will, on next Tuesday, under
take to mete out punishment for the
crime of contempt of the court itself,
and the importance of the occasion
will be enhanced by the number of
the defendants.
The proceedings will take place in
connection with the cases of Sheriff
Shipp and Deputy Sheriff Gibson, of
Hamilton county, Tenn, and four 9th
er residents of that county, named re-
spectively Williams, Nolan, Padgett
and May These men were declared
by the court to be guilty of an act OF
contempt in combining in 1905 in a
conspiracy to lynch a negro named
Johnson, who had been sentenced to
death by the local courts upon the
charge of rape, and in whose case the
supreme court had interfered to the
extent of granting an appeal, which
had the effect of a supersedeas. On
the night following the announcement
of the courts action Johnson was
taken out Of the Jail in Chattanooga
by a mob and lynched. There was no
resistance on the part Of the Jail au-
thorities, and Shipp and a number
of his deputies, as well as about
twenty citizens, were proceeded
against on the charge Of contempt of
the federal court.
