LAND FOR SETTLERS.
Fort Hall Indian Reservation to Be
Open for Settlers.

Chief Clerk John D. Bell OF the sur
veyor generals Office has forwarded
to Washington the last field and survey
notes made on the big Fort Hall Indian
reservation located in the southeastern
part OF the state near Pocatello. In
other words the survey made by the
surveyor generals department is I'm
tshed and 1t Is up to the department at
Washington to approve it, 1t was made
in accordance with a congressional
act to survey the Fort Hall and Lemhi
Indian reservations
The completing OF the survey at so
early period in the year will prob
ABLY mean an early opening of the re-
servations to settlement The survey
of the Lemhi was finished some time
ago and the field notes, ETC., forward
ed to the department. Both contracts
have been big ones and have kept the
local department busy looking after
them. Some time ago the Indians liv-
Ing on the Lemhi reservation were or
dered removed to the Fort Hall, where
they have been allotted lands. This
will necessarily leave the Lemhi reser-
walton free from redskins.
Government agents are now busily
engaged allOtting the land on the Fort
Hall reservation. The regulations have
been changed so that, instead OF the
head of each family receiving a tract
of land each member of the family is
now given an allotment which is held
In trust for number of years, or until
the bucks and squaws become of age,

comparatively small number of Indians
left in both once famous tribes, only a
small amount of land will be appro-
priated by them
The Fort Hall land allotment is uni
que in many respects, the principle be-
ing that the Indians will be given the
opportunity to farm under irrigation.
Few Indians have been offered this pri-
vilege, heretofore. The government,
through the reclamation service, is
now engaged in installing mammoth
irrigation system in southeastern Ida
no, to irrigate the Fort Hall reserva-
ton. The water is taken from the
Blackfoot river and stored in the Port
neuf marsh reservoir. 1t is to be the
Indian and the irrigation spade in the
future instead of the Indian and the
scalp knife.
The government is further contem-
plating in the very near future, open
ing the Neg Perez reservation in north
ern Idaho. With the opening of this
tract, together with the Fort Hall and
Lemhi it is believed that there will be
an influx of settlers to the Gem state tC

NO CHANCES TAKEN.
$1,0O0,O00 Gold Exhibits at Seattle Will
Be Safely Guarded.

One million dollars in virgin golf
that will sink automatically every
night into a steel vault to reappeal
with the same precision in the morn
ing, will be the central feature of the
Alaska exhibit at the Alaska Yukon
Pacific exposition next summer. Pill
ed in glittering heaps Of dust, nuggets
and brick this brilliant display will be
one of the greatest attractions on the
exposition grounds. The gold pavil.
ion, where the million dollars will be
on display, will be enclosed with q
heavy wire cage and special guards
will patrol the section night and day
to protect the treasure
The large steal vault, built in solid
concrete, will operate automatically
on a time lock. Eack night at the
closing hour the two tons of gold will
disappear and the steel and concrete
top will slide into place, leaving moth
ing in view but the smooth surface OF
the floor. The time lock will be set
for the opening hour in the morning
when the treasure will reappear. The
construction of this vault will cost
$4,000.
In the gold exhibit are three of the
largest nuggets ever found in Alaska.
They were taken from the famous
Pioneer mine at Nome and the total
value of the three is slightly in excess
of $1,000. 1t is proposed to have the
largest of these three nuggets ar
ranged so that visitors may pick it up
and the big yellow lump will pass
through thousands Of hands during the
exposition.
The Alaska fair commission has al
ready secured the dust nuggets and
gold bricks for the display and it will
be arranged in the gold pavilion of the
Alaska building several days In adj
vance of the opening Of the exposition
on June 1. A portion of the gold is
now in safely deposit vaults in Seat
tie.
Every claim and prospect in the four
divisions Of Alaska contributed not
less than an ounce of gold to the dis
play and the Seward peninsula. Tan
and river, Copper river and South
eastern Alaska districts are all repre-
sented. In addition to the gold many
Of the mine owners Of the Nome and
Fairbanks camps will also have SAM
pies Of pay dirt, gravel. bed rock and
black sand. The exhibit will be in ex-
cess Of two tons of pure gold, just as 1t
was washed from the ground in the
north.

Some complaint is heard that the re-

worked to the injury Of the corn. and
that much of it Is moulding in the field.
A great deal of the corn in this county
is down on the ground and for this
reason does not dry as readily as if it
were standing well. Even some of the
corn that has been cribbed was SO
damp that it is in danger if the weather
does not soon get colder.
