Timber May Be Cut.
The timber may be cut from timber
lands in the Occur d 'Alene reservations,
and sold as fast as the land is cleared
for cultivation, but it can not be cut
under any other circumstance.
Leaves of absence may be obtained
for one year where entrymen are pre-
vented by sickness, failure of crops or
"other unavoidable casualties' from
supporting themselves upon the land.
These are obtained from the registrar
and receiver of the United States land

fed, or for any longer period than one
year.

Mexico City, Aug. Five distinct

late reports indicate that the upheaval
centered in the Guerrero district,
where homes were laid waste and lives

Every bit of information that is FL

life has been heavy and the property
damage enormous.
Terror reigned here all day. The
frenzy Of the people was increased by
reports that the volcano PopOcatapetl
was in eruption. The heaviest shock
was felt shortly after noon. Buildings

mander of the Minnesota department of

DRAWING
THE LAND

tions closed simultaneously at midnight
on Thursday, and the drawings will be-
gin at Occur 'Alene on Monday morn
ing, August 9, at 10 o clock prompt, and
will continue daily until the following
Monday, August 16, excepting on the
intervening Sunday.
According to Superintendent Witten,
there are about 1850 claims in the
Occur d'Alene reservation, something
less than 100 in the Spokane reserva-
ton, and he estimates $500 in the Flat
head reservation.
The commissioners appointed by the
government classified the land subject
to entry in the Flathead reservation as
follows:
Forty thousand, two hundred and
twenty-nine acres as agricultural of the
first class, 1903 acres as agricultural
land of the second class, 336,1S9 acres
as grazinl mad.
A part of these lands will be with
drawn under the reclamation act, and
it is impossible to state the actual num-
Der of acres in each class that will be
opened to settlement until the govern
ment makes this withdrawal
These lands have been appraised at
from $1.25 to 81 per acre, and consist
wholly of agricultural and grazing
lands
Some Rich Occur d'Alene Prizes.
The lands in the Spokane reservation
are classed as agricultural and have
been appraised at SIS per acre. There
are not many claims open for entry in
this reservation, because the land is not
adapted to farming, and while the ap-
praisers have estimated that 100 home
steads can be selected, it is the general
impression of those familiar with the
land that only about as can be classified
as desirable.
The classifiers are at present at work
upon the Occur 'Alene reservation, and
the price, therefore, has not been fixed.
1t is believed, however, that 1T will not
exceed that of the Flathead reservation,
and may be slightly less than the maxi
mum, with the minimum price probably
SI.25 an acre The timber lands in this
reservation will be subject to entry un.
der the same conditions, and with no ex'
ira price above the regular appraisal
placed upon them.
1t is said that there are many very
valuable timber tracts, and locators IN
Occur 'Alene place the value Of some
claims above $4,000.
The timber on the Spokane reserya
ton has been reserved for the use OF
the Indians, while that on the Flatheae
reservation will be sold at public auc
ton, and the lands will be subject e
the customary entry under the home
stead laws after the timber has beer
cut.
Al Drawings at Occur d'Alene.
Arrangements are being made for th'
drawings, which will take place on som'
central spot in Occur 'Alene City.
a large raised platform, about 40 fee
square, will be constructed, fenced "ltl
wire netting.

Opening Day of Entry.
How to Select a Claim.

A great many people have wondered
how they were going to make selection
in the event that they drew one of the
lucky numbers. Superintendent Witten
announces that it will be unnecessary
for them to make more than general
examination of the topography of the
country.

BLOCK CONTRACT
 MAY BE HELD UP
 FOR GROOVED RAIL
Alderman Fletcher Seems to Hold Trump Card in the Matter of Awarding
 Contract.
Expected That City Attor- ney Will Tell Committee That it Can Award Con- tract to Whomsoever 1t Chooses.

There is great doubt whether the aldermanic street committee will let the contract for the furnishing of wood
 block pavement for Main street this evening as the merchants and large property owners on the street do not want to see the pavement laid unless grooved rails are laid by the railroad company. Up to this noon Mayor Lee had heard nothing from Vice Presi- dent Townley on the matter. If the committee decides to let the contract without learning what the railroad in- tends 10 do. their action would be antagoEistfc, to the wishes of the prop erty owners. It is understood that Aldermen Hartley, Tague and Fletcher are in favor of standing with the prop- erty owners on the matter. and 1t is believed that Aldermen Griffin and Bertilson will be of the same opinion.
 The fact that the railroad and the city have both begun to repair the asphalt pavement with trap rock and railroad management and the director of public works expected that the grooved rail proposition was going tos be fought out before the railroad com mission.
 The grooved rail feature may possi- bly, prevent the letting of the contract tonight. City Attorney Cullfnan will render an opinion to the committee and it is understood that the commit tee will be free to award the contract to any of the bidders that it sees fit, although Attorney James A. Marr con tended at the last meeting that the committee had already awarded the contract to Silliman & Godfrey to sup ply American creosoted wood even though the contract was not signed.
 A member of the committee said this morning: 'If we award the contract to- night. Alderman Fletcher will cast the deciding vote. Aldermen Hartley and Tague will probably vote for U. S Wood Preserving Co.'s block because it is the cheapest by about $4O0 Alder men Griffin and Bertflson are in favor of American creosoted block because it is soli by local contractor. The Wyckoff block bid was not accom- was not considered although it was about g, 900, cheaper, for the scitys-a If Alderman Fletcher is TOT the WycKon block with a guarantee he will present a ISeW phase to the situation"

WEST END POST OFFICE READY
 JUNE 1
Postmaster Has Task of Naming New Superin-
 tendent of Office.
Establishment Will Serve Greater Part of West End and Have Direct Pouch Service with Trains.

Postmaster Marigo1d has the task before him of naming a superintendent for the new West End post office. The office will be opened at State street and Bostwick avenue on June 1, one week before it was expected that the building would be ready. Besides the superintendent there will be seven clerks and from 12 to 15 carriers con- nected with the new office. The dis trict has not been laid out yet but it will take in the greater portion of the city west of Park avenue. Some of the section west of Park avenue lying south of the railroad viaduct will prob ably continue to be served through the main office. The station, like the East Side station. will have a direct pouch to the railroad station and mail will be received and despatched with all the functions of a full post office with the exception that the reports are made to Postmaster Marigold instead of to Washington.
 There will be 130 letter boxes at the office, 48 medium sized drawers, A single drawers, and 12 douple deep drawers for manufacturers. The fit tinEs are of quartered oak and the statfonSwill be one that the West End can well be proud of. The new su- peFintehdent will be chosen from among the local force of carriers and clerks and there are many applicants.

JIM JACQUES SAYS
 HE WILL QUIT
Arrested on a Charge of Sunday Selling and With Two Other Warrants Over His Head Veteran Throws Up His Hands.

Its all off-rve got to quit," said aim Jacques this morning to a newspa- per man as he entered the city court room to answer to the charge of vio- 1ating the Sunday liquor law. Jim was arrested yesterday on complaint of the detectives of the Law Enforcement Or ganization who entered his place Sat 4uriay night and will testify that they bought liquor after F o'clock. They also have, obtained evidence that gam ing was going on and that the place at 48s Water street operated by Jim is a house of assignation. The detec- tives of Axel Johnson's Detective Agency gathered the information on which the warrants were issued.
 The liquor case was continued in the city court this morning til the 18th, when all three charges will be tried. Judge E. K. Nicholson. who is the at torney for the Law Enforcement or ganization said this morning in reply to the suggestion that a place like Jacques' was needed in every city; ..some people may think so but we don't. If, they say, there are worse places in the city the police must know about them and should shut them up. If they don't know about them we will give them our attention.

STONE CROOKS
 IN THE GARAGE

The meeting of the board of Health tomorrow evening will be burdened with a complaint from the By-Pro- ducts company concerning the large amount of clam shells. tin cans ana other solid matter which is brought to the reduction plant by the garbage collectors, All of this matter has to be sorted out and removed before It can be put through the machinery or the concern. It is possible that some of the articles which have recently been brought to the plant, will be eX, hibited before the board. One will be a ten gallon stone crock which was brought in filled with clam shells. These things are not garbage and the By-Products company complain that their machinery is injured and that 1t requires much additional labor to re- move the articles, The collectors maintain that they cannot separate the garbage from the tin cans and other solid articles It is suggested that a prize be offered to housewives who abandon the practice of throwing everything they wish to dispose of in to the garbage

CAN'T LEAVE TOWN
 UNTIL MOONS FULL

ooh, MT. Moon, Moon, Silvery Moon, Won't You Come Out and Shine?"
 This is the refrain that the captain and crew of the schooner Robert J. Mc- F'arland have been singing for the past few days. The schooner is aground just north of the East Washington av- enue bridge, off the wharf of the A. W Burritt Lumber company. And strange to say, she can't leave Bridge port Harbor until the moon is ready; hence, the nightly serenade by the sea- men who are anxious to be of.
 The connection between the moon, the schooner Mcfarland and Burritts wharf is as follows: The schooner draws 16 1-2 feet of water, while the channel off Burritt's wharf shows only IA or 15 feet except at unusually high tides. Hence the schooner Is now aground and can't get away until the next high tide, which will come with the full moon.
 Several attempts have been made at getting the big schooner away. but with co success. Nothing doing un-s tffs-the moon is ready. 2
