: es Important.

Williston.-Up in the north end of
Williams county there Is an old stone
slab that evidently has historic value
and to show that the writing on it is
really unusual 1t is fact that none of
the oldest Sioux or other tribes of In
dams can understand the writing nor
do they know anything Of how the rock
came there.
The rock is situated in township 161,
range 101. on what is known as the old
500 trail about fifty-five miles north
Of this city, and is regarded as a
strange piece of work belonging to
another age than this and the writing
II 1t could be unraveled by some scien-
tific wise guy, would no doubt reveal
something very interesting.
This old 500 trail is the way the
Indians travelled between the Turtle
and the Rocky Mountains and is still
used by them and in passing the rock
they all acknowledge its writing is as
mysterious to them as it is to the
white man, but believe the yare on sa-
cred and holy ground when near the
curiosity.
The spot is a place for the present
settlers to gather for picnics and it is
said that many curious things have
been found nearby and underneath
the rock in the way of arrowheads, wal
clubs and axes.

Presidents Order Includes Large Area

Bismarck-By executive order large
tracts Of land in various parts of the
country where there are still vacant
and unpatented lands are withdrawn
from settlement, location, sale or entry,
pending examination and classification
with regard to coal value, by special
agents Of the governments.
This covers all Of McLain, Mercer
and Oliver counties, and all of Morton

non Ball river; covers all but twenty
one townships in Burleigh county, and
also includes eight townships in Sheri-
den county.
This order was issued in conformity
with authority conferred by acts of
congress approved July % and Is, 1910,
authorizing withdrawal Of public lands
in certain cases (for coal investiga-
tion). and to provide for agricultural
entries on coal lands.
Under this order, until further in
structions. no further entries or sales
will be allowed in the district affected
and no final certificates will issue on
final proofs.
The United States land officers will,
however, accept filings and final proofs
and issue receipts for money paid and
suspend the same, awaiting further
action on the part Of the government
1t is probable that the mineral char
acter Of the lands Withdrawn will be
determined by the geographical survey
department, but just when this work
can be done is uncertain, because of
the vastness of the undertaking and
probable insuffciency of appropria-
tions to carry on the work.
