MERRY XMAS
BY PETER Mo

BY PETER MONDLOCH
The star that shone in Bethlehem
Shines still and shall not cease
And we still listen to the tidings
OF glory and of peace.
The joy and peace of the anthem
Song by the shepherd on the plain
Watching their f1ocks in the star
light golden
Re-echoes to us again.
Consider the great love of God to US
Who didn't spare His dear beloved
son
To bring sacrifice in our behalf on
earth
Father on high
We ought appreciate such a loving
kindness to us
Glory be to God on high and peace to
all men.
1 hope you will enjoy merry Xmas
feast
And do yourselves justice at the tur-
key roast or geese,
Be joyful, happy, comfortable and
pleased
Your life be as bright as flowers and
stars at leased.
L hope Santa Claus will not skip you
With his chalSe
But put a goodly pile at the door of
your place
AS such a lovely, precious, delicious
gifts and mace
And dollies, hobbies, ETC., you appre-
ciate and praise.
Wish a long happy life for Santa
Request him to make sure to call
again.

. HANNA GIVES SYNOPSIS OF
. BILL PASSED FOR OPENING
. OF BERTHOLD INDIAN
. RESERVATION.
!: :, :. :. :: :: :: :. :. :. :: :: :: : :

Washington, June S.-Editor Trib'
une: l have had many letters ask
ing for a synopsis of my bill, winch
provides for the opening OF that part
of the Fort Berthold Indian reserva-
ton lying east and north of the Mis-
souri, river. go,
The main features of the bill are
as follows:
The bill first provides for survey
of the lands and the contract for this
survey has been let and men will be
in the field within the next ten days.
1t also provides that the United
States geological survey shall make
an examination of the lands to be
opened and any land that is found
to be more valuable for coal than for
agricultural purposes, is to be set
aside and reserved. l am having this
survey made at this time, so that the
settlers who file on land in this res
ervation will not have any trouble
when the time shall come for them
to make their proofs and have their
proofs held up, as has been the case
with so much Of the government lana
in the western part Of North Dako'
| ia.
The bill provides that the Indians
shall be allowed to take one hundred
and sixty acres of agricultural land
or three hundred and twenty acres
| of grazing land in addition to the
lands previously allotted to them.
These allotments, however, are only
| to be made in those townships east
of the river in which they have pre-
viously taken land and the balance
of the allotments which are granted
! to them under this new law are to
| be taken west of the river.
1T further provides for the setting
aside as a place of historical interest,
| the ruins Of the old Fort Berthold
Indian village and the Indian burial
grounds adjacent thereto.
There is also reserved whatever
land may be necessary for agency,
school and religious purposes. These
lands are to be so reserved as long
as may be needed.
There is further reserved an area
of land, not to exceed six hundred
| and forty acres, which is to be set
aside for the purpose of establishing
and maintaining demonstration farm
for the benefit of the Indians and the
bill appropriates twenty-five thousand
dollars for building the necessary
buildings and providing the necessary
! stock and machinery. This is the
first demonstration farm to be estab-
lished in this way upon any reserva-
ton in the United States.
All the timber lands are to be set
aside and reserved for the use and
benefit of the Indians. There are
some quite good bodies of timber
along the Missouri river.
Sections 16 and SO in every towns hip
are given to the state of North Da-
Bismarck daily tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, Dakota [N.D.]) 1881-1916, 1910-06-09
the United States and the government

the United States and the government
is to allow the Indians interest at
the rate of three per cent per annum
upon all moneys deposited and all Of
this money to the credit OF the Indians
shall be subject to appropriation by
congress for the education, support
and civilization of the Indians.
The bill further provides that the
lands allotted, those retained or re-
served, and the lands sold or granted
to the state, or otherwise disposed Of,
shall be subject to all Of the laws of
the United States, prohibiting the in
PRODUCTION of intoxicants into the In
dian country.
The department of the interior in
form me that the bill is model bill
in every respect; that it is fair to the
new settlers, fair to the state, and
fair to the Indians.
The reservation cannot be opened
before late next fall at the very earl
lest, and when it is opened, it will
be opened under the lottery system

kota for the benefit of the common
schools and where any of these Sec
lions have been allotted to the Indians
the state is to receive other lands
in lieu for them and the government
is to pay the Indians for the school
lands which are given to the state
and the bill provides an appropriation
for that purpose.
The bill further provides that gov
eminent townsites may be located up
on the lands that are to be opened
and when the lots in these govern
ment townsites are sold, the money
shall 60 into the United States treas
ury for the benefit of the Indians.
The lands to be opened are to be
appraised by commission of three
persons. consisting of representative
of the department of the interior, a
citizen of the state of North Dakota
and a member of one of three tribes
of Indians, the latter to act as repre-
sentative for the Indians.
There is no maximum nor mini
mum price on the lands whatever.
The lands are to be disposed of under
the provisions of the homestead and
TOWNSHIP laws of the United States,
and will be opened by a proclamation
of the president. The settler can
live upon the lands as under the
homestead law for five or seven years,
or he can commute at the end of
fourteen months, pay the government
price and prove up If he SO desires.
At the time the settler files upon
the land, he must pay one-fifth
of the price that has been set upon
the land by the board of appraisers.
The balance is divided into five pay
ments, one due each year for five
years, but this bill provides that no
payments shall be required from the
settlers at the end of the first year,
but that the five payments that are
still due, shall be paid in two, three
four, five and six years respectively.
This is the first bill for the opening
of reservation, Which has ever had
a clause of this kind in it and it will
be of great help to the new settler,
as it is a we'll known fact that when
a settler goes upon land, he is put
to quite large expense in building
buildings and breaking up his land
and as a rule he does not get any crop
from the land the first year.
The deferred payments on the land
draw no interest whatever and this
is of help to the new settler.
All Of the money received from the
lands is to go into the treasury of

roses, sumptuously tied with broad
red ribbon and bearing the cards OF
the ladies employed in the several
departments at the state capitol, was
presented to Mr.. Foley in the course
of the entertainment. The presenta-
ton lent a touch of sweetness and
completeness to the occasion and
testified to the appreciation AID
friendship of the ladies who partici-
pated in the presentation, and the
friendship and kindness that prompt
ed the remembrance was more deep
ly appreciated by Mr.. Foley than
any of the many evidences of friend
illness he has received since his ap
pearance as a reader.

This rousing yell was adopted by
the state association as the official
yell for the convention and tourna-
year. Every prospective delegate
wants to get out in his back yard
during the ensuing twelve months and
practice up so that he may be able
to help make the streets of the 1911
convention city resound with right
good will.
The variations of colors to be seen
among the different uniforms were ex-
tremely noticeable. Hatton was con-
spicuOus in their red suits. LarimOre
was attired in bright green uniforms
while the Gackle boys appeared in
uniform of darker green. The other
delegations were invariably clothed
in the regulation blue. The different
colors presented a pleasing picture
to the eye of the casual observer.
