BULLETS MET IN RIFLE.
Strange Freak of Civil War to be Seen
At A.-Y.-P. Exposition.

SEATTLE, July IA relic which
tells the story of one of the narrowest
escapes of the great civil war is a gun
in which are lodged two bullets, one a
Union missive of death, the other a
Confederate, on exhibit in the war De-
at the Alaska EXPOSE
ton.
This historic old rifle was picked up
on one of the bloody battle fields of the
war of the rebellion The Federal SOL
der who owned the gun had just fired
a shot and his bullet was met and
blocked in the barrel by a Confeder-
ate bullet, which had entered the
muzzle at that second.
The portion of the barrel where the
bullets met has been cut away and the
two pieces of lead are left exposed as
they met on the day of battle They
are mashed out Of all semblance Of
bullets and are damned tightly to-
gether.
No one who sees this relic fails to be
escape. from death of the unknown
owner of the gun. Had the Confeder-
ate bullet strayed fraction of an inch
on either side it would have pierced
the body of the Union private. But.
as if directed by fate. it forced it's way
into the tiny hole i'm the gun to be
met by an opposing bullet.

FILING FOR LANDS
WASTE OF MONEY
Belief Is Strong i'm Many People That
Nothing Is to be Gained by At
tempting to Win in Lottery.


y. S. Darby of North Yakima is one
of the hundreds of people who have
looked into the subject of filing for
Indian lands to be thrown omen to
settlement who believe that a mistake
is being made by far the larger num-
Der of those who are vcnturing. He
believes. as do numerous others, that
it is an unnecessary waste of money
and one that many of those who ore
making it cannot afford. He believes
also, along with numerous others,
that many are acting on impulse ard
are sure to lose. Moreover there are
a great many people who have look
ed into the filing question who are
convinced that for the average citizen
the cheapest way to get land is to buy
it.
To Win Is 10 Lose.
OF those who file for the Flathead
Occur d'Alene and Spokane lands but
a very small percentage of those will
be successful in their drawings and of
those who draw but a small percent
age will get anything worth while.
The expense is certain, the results are
at best doubtful. Also, in the lam
guage of the gambler "if you win you
lose" for there is where the expense
begins. There are those who can af-
ford to file and win but they are he
few and not typical of the average of
those who will file. Many people who
are doing well now under present con-
ditions will upset their whole plan of
life by their filing if success in
drawing should happen to be theirs
and will lose out thereby. There are
today many people on land in the
Northwest who do not belong there"
and who will by the natural process
of elimination be weeded out,
Views of an Expert.
James w. Witten superintendent of
the opening and sale of Indian reser-
vatiOns. in an official document of the
department of the interior, says of the
Flathead reservation that 4O,229 of it's
acres are agricultural lands of the
first class; 1903 are agricultural
lands of the second class and 336,1S9
are grazing lands Portions of these
have been withdrawn from entry I'M
der the reclamation act and will not
be subject to entry at this opening.
There are 100000 acres including tim
Der lands on the Occur d'Alene res
ervation and about $4,000 acres of
lands on the Spokane classified as ag-
ricultural and subject to entry. No
timber land on the Spokane reserva-
ton may be entered.
This total, considering the regis
trations is notably small and the 4 ly
certainty is the expense connected
with the filings and of rhe obligations
if one wins. Many consider it to be
the part of wisdom to refrain from
tempting fate in such matter.

Notarics Get Rich.
Registration started off lively at
Occur d'Alene, Missoula, Kalispell and
Spokane a few moments after mid
night on July Is. and so great has been
the rush since then that more than
| 500 public notaries. assisted by from
1000 to 1900 clerks. have been kept
literally on the jump, with the re-
suit that they are reaping a harvest of
! silver in the shape of 25-cent fees. The
majorities are exempting former SOL
| diers and sailors. but as it is they
stand to receive between $4,000 and
$4,000 for their work during the 10
days.
Judge Witten estimates that 1000,-
600 persons will register in Spokane
between now and August 5, with $780,,
900 at Occur d'Alene and $4,000 at
Missoula and Kalispell, adding that
practically every state in the Union
and most of the provinces In the Do
minion of Canada will be represented.
The applicants coming from Canada,
of course, are citizens of the United
States.

power to eliminate spectators and

future home on the land. Violators will
be prosecuted for perjury in all cases
where the department receives suf-
ficient facts to warrant making ar
| rests, Judge Witten announced, adding
| also that if the experience at former
openings may be taken as a criterion
not more than 40 per cent of the for
tunate ones will take advantage of
Uncle Sans bounty. However, rocat-
Ors and others who have gone over
the three reservations say that not S
per cent of those drawing lands will
| let their chances to own 100 acres slip
by this time, as practically all of the
| land is adapted to grain, fruit and hay
| crops
Three thousand homesteads are
| contained in the areas to be disposed
of at the drawing. Because of the
| heavy filing the chance of becoming
the possessor of a quarter section of
agricultural timber or grazing land is
reduced to about one in hundred. 1t
will be worth while for the lucky ones.
as best quarter sections in the white
! pine belt of northern Idaho will cut
5000, 900 feet of saw timber, worth
| from 1915 to "a a thousand feet on
| the stump.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 17.-Young
Corbett, at one time conqueror of
Terry McGOvern, proved an easy VIC
time for Young Johnny Frayne of San
Francisco, who knocked him out in
the eighth round of a bout scheduled
to go rs rounds. Corbett was palpa-
bly, in no condition but put up a hard
battle, and at no time did he appear
to have a chance. The men fought at
catch weights, weighing 1875 pounds at
10 o'clock this morning. Corbett,
however. failed to make the weight,
and it was announced he weighed
fully two pounds in excess of the re.
quirements The contest was a tame
and uninteresting affair up to the time
of the knockout.
