cooperate with the officers of the
United States land office at Bismarck
in every legitimate way to make the
registration success and afford the
people who come here to register all
the information, assistance and op-
portunity possible.
A general information bureau has
also been established and such re-
liable information as can be obtained
and disseminated will be furnished
to prospective home-seekers. Hun
dreds of extra workers in the harvest
fields of North and South Dakota will
take advantage Of this opportunity to
obtain a good piece of land for a

going to and from the exposition at
Seattle will take advantage of the
opportunity and stop off in Bismarck

interest or taxes are paid until the
patent is granted. y
The land has been divided into sew
eral classes, and the value placed &C.
cording to the grade. Agricultural
land has been graded as to first and
second, class-first class 81. to S., an
acre. second: class $1.5o@to s$3.75 an
acre, then grazing land at so cents
to $3.50 an acre This will make five
divisions, the divisions being divided
in tracts Of 100 acres each. -
Extent Of the Tract.
To gain an idea as to the extent Of
the tract to be opened it is we'll to
note that the land extends in a
straight line from the Cannon Ball
river in Morton county, N. D., to, the
Cheyenne river in Armstrong county,
S.. D. That between these counties
are Schnasse, Foreman and Dewey
counties, South Dakota; from north
to south this tract is eighty seven
miles in length, in width at the mar
rowest point it is .forty-two miles,
with an eighteen mile strip in the
center which is about eighty-four
miles wide.
The Cheyenne river forms the
southern boundary of this land, the
Cannon Ball river the northern boun-
Diary, the great Missouri rive
the entire eastern boundary,
while between, running from east to
west and dividing the vast tract in
three almost equal parts, are the
Grand and Moreau rivers. OF the
many streams in addition, which are
worthy of note, are Little Moreau
hiver, Ook, Hump, Virgin, Beaver
Willow and Green Grass creeks.
Rainfall.
. The government weather reports
from these points on the reservations
for the years 1900 to 1909, inclusive:
show very generous rainfall, well
distributed over the growing season,
while the average temperature for
the same period are most favorable.
Railroad Facilities
Anticipating the opening of this
vast domain of unoccupied land, the
railroad systems have already planned
network of lines that will afford
splendid facilities for shipments, far
better than the older sections OF
North Dakota had for many years at.
ter their settlement. Through the
central-north portion the Chicago,
Milwaukee and St. Paul railway-Pa-
cific coast extension-runs, entering
the reservation (standlng Rock), at
a point opposite Mobridge on the
Missouri river, and leaving the same
reservation at point just east of
Lennon, the new U. S. land

FARGO firm GETS
BRIDGE CONTRACTS
ABOUT A DOZEN BIDS in FOR
WORK THAT WILL BE DONE
THIS FALL.
Fate of the Faikner Bridge is Now
In the Hands of State Engineer At
kinson.

The bids for the construction OF
a steel bridge and the repairs Of a
number of others were opened by the
board of county commissioners at
meeting held at the court house Tues
day afternoon.
The Fargo Bridge and Iron Co.,
was the lowest bidder out of dozen
and as their bid complied with the
requirements set forth in the adver-
tisements the contract was awarded
to them.
There are two new bridges to be
built and repairs to b. made on
number of others. The board of coun-
ty commissioners made flying trip
to the Faulkner bridge near the fort
and it will probably be put up to State
Engineer Atkinson to decide whether
the bridge is safe for public .ause or
not. If he decides that it is Ianger-
Gus in it's present condition the board
will take whatever action he suggests
as to the methods needed to make the
structure safe for the use Of the pub
lie. The amount Of the bid of the
Fargo Bridge and Iron Co. was $4,-

irwin IS NOT STRUCK
With LIFE in west
SAYS 1T CANNOT COMPARE WITH
NORTH DAKOTA AS A PLACE
TO LIVE.
Even the Eggs Are Dry and the But
ter Tasteless - Eternal Labor and
Then Some is the Price of Success

Senator J. = Irwin of Park River,
one of the members of the upper
house of the last legislature, was in
the city yesterday and will go to
Washburn this morning to join his
wife and daughter who are visiting
there.
Senator Irwin and family spent sew
eral months this year at Ashland,
Oregon, near the southern boundary
of the state, with a view of locating
there, but have returned contented to
stay in North Dakota.
Senator Irwin says the Oregon eli
mate does not suit him as we'll as that
of North Dakota The summer season
is dry and crops are raised entirely
with irrigation. The last rainfall
this year where he was, was May %
and he Left late in July. The summer
was dry and the same dryness seems
to be impaired to the products of the
farm and garden. Eggs do not COM
pare with the North Dakota variety.
The yak seems to be dry and taste
less, and the butter is fine in color
and appearance, but seems dry and
hard as tallow. Spring chickens rails,
ed on his place were ready to eat BE-
fore he left, but the meat was dry and
taste!ess, and all things considered
the senator was glad to get back to
the. state.
The fruit farms require endless Ia
Dor and care, and trees have to be
sprayed several times a season and
watched carefully to prevent attacks
by wilt and other diseases. At the
time he left the pear trees were be-
ing attacked with a black wilt, that
necessitated the cutting off OF many
limbs and the treatment of the trees
within washes and solutions to prevent
their dying.
Accounts of the yields of the fruit
farms differ but the stories of fabu-
lous returns are discounted largely
by the senator. He says conditions in
an irrigated country and in country
like North Dakota where crops grow
with natural rainfall are so different
that it takes the farmer from this
section long time to accustom him
self to the conditions there.

8 Of interest to thousands who have
never used their homestead entry as
well as other thousands who have
made entries, and who, under laws re-
Gently passed are entitled to make
second entry, was the bill which pass
ed congress in May, 1908, by which Is
opened approximately 2,337,000 acres
embraced in the Standing Rock and
Cheyenne River reservations, the land
to be opened extending from the Can
non Ball river in North Dakota to
the Cheyenne river in South Dakota.
! This opening, for which all ar
Tangements are being made to take
place in October-registratiO point
at Bismarck, North Dakota, Oct. 4 to
Oct. 23-has been aptly described by
a we'll known official as "The last OF
the big ones and the biggest Of them
ALL" Within a short time (almost
period of ,months) free homesteads
will be thing of the past, Why then,
when such an opportunity as this
presents itself, should one hesitate?
Physical Characteristics.
Soil of the best, land we'll .watered
by five rivers and countless smaller
streams, the general lay of the land
most favorable, railroad facilities now
good and soon to be much better,
land on both sides of the reservations
well settled, with land values sub
stantial, will make of this opening
the most desirable to intending
homesteaders Of any held out by the
government in recent years.
Terms of Sale.
In order to open this land treaty
was made with the tribes then hold
ing the land embraced in the two
reservations by which they were to
receive an average price of $3.50 per
acre for the lands given up, so that
while the lands will be open to home
stead entry and must be lived on and
improved, a low valuation has been
placed on them, which will be ridicu-
lousy low compared to valuations of
similar land on both sides of the res
ervations.
The homesteads offered may be
proved up in two ways; by settling
on the land, improving same with a
five years residence and paying for
the land as follows: one-fifth Of the
valuation down and one-fifth of the
balance each year for five years to
follow; no interest or taxes until pat
ent is finally issued, or by the pay
ment of one-fifth of the valuation
down; a residence and cultivation
over fourteen months and the pay 1
ment at the end of that time Of the
balance due on the land. In the lat
ter case, as we'll as the former, no
