Cheif Clerk John D. Bell of the sur
veyor generals Office has forwaded 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
finished and it is up to the department
at Washington to approve it. 1t was
made in accordance with congressional
act to survey the Fort Hall and Lemhi
Indian reservations.
The completing of the survey at so
early peariod in the year will probably
mean an early opening of the reservation
to settlement. The survey of the
Lemhi was finished some time ago and
the field notes, ETC., forwarded TO the
department. Both contracts have kept
the local departments busy looking after
them. Some time ago the Indians living
on the Lemhi reservation were ordered
removed to the Fort Hall, where they
have been allotted lands. This will

POWER COUNTY
GIVEN HEARING
Committee Listens to Evidence
FavoIing the County.
Members Of Legislature Who Heard
Evidence Surprised at Showing
Made Considered on Merit
the Bill Will Pass.

The county lines and boundary com
mittee gave three hearings on the bill to
create Power county, Monday and Tues
day. The members of the committee
showed a sincere desire to acquaint
themselves with all facts bearing upon
the matter that they might make a
Recommendation in keeping with the
merits of the matter. With a large
map. Representative Philbrick traced
the proposed boundaries of the new
county, and made few remarks relat-
ing to conditions within the boundaries
tending to enligbten the committe.
He was followed by Senator Bowen,
who appeared in behalf of Blaine
county. Mr.. Bowen submitted figures
from the 1907 tax roll and made strong
argument from them. Based upon the
figures furnished him his plea was able.
But the astonishing unfamiliarity of the
Senator with actual conditions is a
weakness that will be fully apparent
to all when the facts are known. He
was followed by short talk by Repre-
sentative Shean of Blaine. At the con-
clusion of his talk the hearing was
postponed uutil Thursday morning at 9
O'Clock.
0. H. Barber was the first to appear
before the committee Tuesday. He
told of the development of the territory
within the proposed county that had
come under his observation during the
past year and a half. A few of the
significant statements he made were
that he came to the country in June,
1907, knowing but one man, and had
been constantly associating with the
people, and there were larger number
of strangers in the country than when
he arrived there. From the top of a
small barn. near Aberdeen, he was in
formed by the owner thatin September,
1906, but nineteen houses were visable,
while now there are more than 200. In
one township adjoining the Cassia
county line, the first homestead filing
was made September II, 1908. All the
land in the township is now taken. Since
July 26, homesteads to the plumber of
$50 have been filed upon through the
United States Commissioners office at
American Falls, and large number of
filings have been made at Pocatello,
Malad, and Blackfoot. Other forms of
land filings greatly increased this
acreage.
Arthur Davis told of the settlement
and development in that part proposed
to be taken from Blaine county. He
was the first settler, and located two
years ago. He estimated from $50 to
200 pieces of land had been improved.
and from 5000 to 5000 acres of grain
would be harvested there this year.
The improvements are substantial for
a new country. Wells have been sunk
at considerable expense, windmills
erected, and some of the houses were
substantial, though for the greater

Another Large Body of Fine Land
May Be Opened to Homestead Entry

The following indicates that another
large body of land, which extends to
within eight miles of American Falls,
may soon be opened for settlement un-
der the homestead law. About five
townships of this land is in this county,
and through it the government has sur
veyed for canal for a reclamation
project whichhas been favorably rec
commended to the department. There
is no better land anywhere. This body
of land IS entirely separate and in addi-
ton to the quarter of million acres or
more now open to homestead entry.
The land is similar to that which has
produced such astonishing yields for
several years under the dry farming
process:

WHAT are you doing for Dick
inson7 If the Northern Pacific
is going to parallel its main line
on the south something should be
done to make up for the trade
which will be cut off thereby.
Last fall it was talked that steps
would be taken to get a branch
line from the Milwaukee, but
nothing is being done. 1t is very
easy to see that if nothing is done
and the proposed branch line of
the N. P. is built, Dickinson is
certainly going to lose some more
of its long distance trade. The
line south from Mandan may not
be constructed far enough this
year to injure this locality, and
there is strong probability that it
will not; but our citizens should
be preparing for what will event
ually take place. Talking will
not do the business any longer.
There must be something more
tangible.

VERY few railroad points along
the Northern Pacific system have
failed to receive more or less of a
shaking up among its men during
the last few months. A thorough
investigation of employees seems
to have been going on, and in
many instances men entirely
innocent of plundering the COM
pany have been made to suffer
in a measure for the misconduct
of others, which is always the way
in reforms of this kind. At Liv-
ingston the company is said to
have suffered the loss of $4,000
in merchandise taken from cars
in a year. A number implicated
in this wholesale taking of mer-
chandise from box cars are al
ready under arrest and others
r likely to be gathered in
shortly. At Terry a former Dick
inson railroad man is said to have
lost his Job, not because he took
anything belonging to the COM
pany but because he knew that
others in his crew were doing so
and did not say anything about it.
