ON THE STROKE
OF TWELVE
Great Record Breaking Rush for
Land Ends

With the tolling of the hour Of ~
o'clock tonight the registration for
lands in the Occur d'Alene, Flathead
and Spokane Indian reservations will
come to a close, and with Its conclu-
sion the curtain will fall on one Of
the most interesting and picturesque
scenes that the city has ever expert
enced in Its history, and bring to an
end an event which has been OF inter
est to the entire American continent.
The work of the registration was
commenced with the ushering In Of
the morning Of July L. and when to-
night the notaries public scattered
throughout the city shall announce
that the work is at an end and close
the doors Of their Offices to the pub
lie, ii is estimated that approximately
108, 900 people will have registered
for land In the Occur d'Alene reserva-
ton and that over 800, 900 will have
registered for lands in all three of the
reservations Ever since the regis
tration opened the streets Of the city
have been crowded with landseekers,
and probably never again in its his
tory will Occur d'Alene city have the
honor of entertaining III the same
length Of time SO sarge and represen-
tatiye a class Of people. 1t Is an
event which the city has longingly
looked forward to for years, because
1t meant the sediment of thousands
of acres Of valuable land lying adja-
cent to it, and also the advertising Of
the city and its resources TO the en-.
tire nation Among the many bene-
fits that will accrue from the visits
made to the city by the searchers fol

real property and the establishment
OF business enterprises. Following
upon the heels Of the closing of tht
registration will come the drawing
which opens Monday morning at Il
o'clock, and In every state in th'
Union hundreds of eyes will scan th'
papers to ascertain If they are among
the fortunate.

FORMED
BY CONSUMERS
Vigorous Protest Against the
Payne Tariff Bill Made
in Chicago.

Chicago, April Further protest
against the Payne bill will be made to-
night at a meeting of the Ultimate Con-
sumers' Tariff league.
In an address, the league says.
Payne. author of the tariff bill, says
the ultimate consumer makes no objec-
ton to the proposed tax on coffee, tea
and other household necessities. The
Ultimate Consumers Tariff league is
organized for the purpose of demon
strating the fallacy of this contention
and putting consumers on record in
every practical manner as being un-
aIterably opposed to the imposition of
any tax whatsoever on coffee and tea
and other household necessities, and for
the further purpose OF devising and
putting into effect every legitimate
means of preventing such calamity.
This is not a local move, but win be
extended throughout the United States.
IL means much to every consumer and
more to every dealer"
