HAS
LOST LANDS
Change iSAgain Made in U.
5. Land Districts
TWO STATE POLICY FAILS
LANDS LOCATED IN NORTH DA-
KoTA, HERETOFORE IN LEM.
MON DISTRICT, HAVE BEEN
RETRANsFERRED TO DIcKlN-
SON AND BISMARCK DISTRICTS.

Washington, N. D., Oct. 1O-By
executive orders dater Oct. 4, 1910, the
president has directed that certain
lands in North Dakota, which were,
by act of May 29, 1908, made a part
of the Lennon, S. D., land district,
retransferred to Bismarck and Dickin-
son, N. D., districts.
This is the first case in which lands
within land district were located in
more than one state and the expert
ence of this case has proven that,
from an administrative standpoint, \it
is not good policy to pursue because
of the dissatisfaction among settlers
and patrons of the land office living
outside the state in which the landof-
fee is located.
The lands retransferred to the Dick
inson, N. D., district follows: Town
ships 129 to 1872 north inclusive,
ranges 81 to 107 west inclusive, in the
state of North Dakota, with the ex-
.pepiioii OF those parts Of the stand
ing Rock Indian reservation as are
located in township 129 and 1870 north,
range 81 west.
Those retransferred to the Bismarck
N. D., district follows: All those
parts of townships 129 and 100 north,
ranges 81 to 100 west inclusive, in the
state of North Dakota as are not en-
braced within the Standing Rock In
dian reservation, and all of townships
131 and 1872 north, ranges 81 to 80
west inclusive, in North Dakota.

Rainy River, Oct. 10.-A bridge
which went down at Winter river.
and carried a Canadian Northern
train with it, spilled wheat across
the river completely damming the
water. The refugees in the ca
boose had narrow escape. Along
the Canadian Northern track on
the river side were great piles Of
ties, which were burning and every
minute the people in the caboose
expested to be roasted alive.
They lay down on the floor to
keep from smothering. Occasion
ally some of the men would crawl
out on their stomachs and scrape
the sand on the burning ties to
keep the flames from the caboose.
Practically all the livestock in
the country is burned. The bodies
of horses and dogs and cats and
other domestic animals are lying
about the streets of the stricken
towns.
AS an idea of the heat on the
streets, a horse died tied to tele-
phone pole with the bit claSped IN
it's teeth and the iron pieces of it's
harness ON the ground, while not
vestige of strap remains, yet
only the hair and outer skin of
the horse is burned. Half burned
cats and dogs have been killed to
put them out of misery.
1t was rumored that the Spooner
school was saved. This is not so.
Not building in the town es-
capped. There has not been train
service for two days and will prob
ably not be for twenty -four hours
except special is made up for
Duluth.

The Spooner mail was saved, 1t
