Settlement and Reclamation Of

Vital Importance

Spokane, wash, July ID Homes for

ry the opening to settlement Of more
Il ain l,00OO00 acres OF land OH the
Yakima Indian reservation in Yakima
and KlicliIat counties. southwest OF
Spqk we, Il also is announced tina.
the second unit of 10000 acres under
the aTieton irrigation project will be
completed in 1911, and that the gov
rnment plant, designed to water 30,-
100 acres Of highly productive fruit
and vegetable land, will be in opera
ton early in 1912. The first unit Of
10000 acres was formally opened ON
June 8.
The settlement OK the reserve and
tie reclamation OF the semi-alid land
are matters OF vital Importance to
the commonwealth of Washington and
the Pacific northwest, and mean fully
as much. II not more, to the eastern
part OF the state than did the opening
OF the Spokane, Occur d'Alene and
llathead reservations last year, while
tile development OF the agricultural
lesources will add millions of dollars
u the wealth production of the coua-
try.
0fiicials Of the United States re-
o,amation service predict that the
watering Of the reservation lands will
result in increasing by two-fold the
present area of the irrigated district
in the Yakima valley. Soil experts
say that tsno better land can be found
anywhere in the northwest than that
which lies within the boundaries OF
the area granted to the Indian Iesi-
dents by the United States govern
ment when the treaty was made many
years ago
The reclamation service has prao
tirally covered the reservation with
surveys with view TO placing the
Land under water at the earliest pos
slble date. Main canals and laterals
have been located and sites for enor.
nous storage reservoirs have been
selected. The land Is 80 situated, It
is believed, that water can be put
upon It at cost OF not more than
$40 an acre, which Is the amount
the settlers will have to pay In zen
ten yearly installments, without in.
terest on deferred payments, in al
dition to a small maintenance fee an
rually and the appraised value Of the
Land.
The first large irrigation projccs
contemplated by the government serv-
ice is known as the Wapato project.
1t takes In 10000 acres of highly pro
distige sage brush land, and II is
easily watered and can be quickly put
under cultivation. An irrigation sys.
ten has been constructed to ever a
portion OF the reservation land, where
in6ian farmers and their white
brethren, working under leases, have
Gemonst' ated the remarkable proiuc.
tiyity OF the soil The watering OF
this tract will make possible more
than 6,000 new homes.
The soil OF the reservation lands Is
much similar to that in the best parts
OF the Yakima valley. It Is heavy
volcanic ash and Is readily adapted
tc the g.owing OF all Northwestern
cereals.

c. A. JOHNSON
Is CONFIDENT
CANDIDATE FOR GOVERNOR WIS.,
ITS WITH FRIENDS IN THE
CITY. r.

Bismarck, N. D., May 26.-Hon. C. A
Johnson of Minot, candidate for the
republican nomination for governor,
was an arrival from Minot yesterday
and was busy last night greeting old
friends in the city.
Mr.. Johnson was a candidate two
years ago for the office Of governor.
and was nominated by an overwhelm-
ing majority over Treadwell Twichell
but through unfortunate differences in
the republican party, and local troubles
in Ward county, he lost the election
by small majority.
Some time ago he announced that
he would again be a candidate, and
this year he is entirely confident of
his nomination and election. The Diff
ferences that existed in the northern
part Of the state two years ago have
been healed and the republicans are
working together harmoniousIy and
Mr.. Johnson has many pledges and
promises of support from all parts of
the state.
He will make a vigorous personal
campaign for the nomination and is
confident he will be the high man
wren the polls close and that the cleo
lion will result differently from that

WILL TRY To SELL
The PHELAN STOCK

Shafer, N. D., May 26.-Has a coun-
ty the right to levy and collect taxes
on personal property belonging to citi-
zens on Indian reservations?
According to States Attorney Con-
verses Interpretation of the law it has.
According to the own private convic-
tons of j. E. Phelan it has not.
Since 1906, Mr.. Phelan has been
running big herd Of horses on the
portion Of the Berthold reservation
included in Mckenzie county, leasing
the land annually from the Indians.
After paying the Indians for grazing
purposes he has maintained his obli-
cations cease, and that the tax oollec-
tor has no more business levying on
his property on the reservation than
on the property of the Indians.
He has stuck to his point and re-
fuses annually to pay taxes, though
his herd has been assessed by the
county assessor each year. In the mean
time, due to belief held quite gener-
ally until recently that his point was
taken, no forced collection of taxes has
been made. About $4,000 back taxes
are now due the county and to collect
this amount the sheriff has levied on
about 400 head of mixed cattle be-
longing to Mr.. Phelan the first of the
week. Notices are posted stating that
these cattle will be sold to the highest
bidder on June l. and it is understood
that a large number of prominent |
will attend the sale for the |
purpose of purchasing the cattle; not |
the fact that the case will |
likely be fought bitterly in the courts.
1t is unfortunate that the matter
has not been settled long before this
as the lapse OF time has given oppor-
Lunity for complications of many kinds
to enter into the dispute.
Mckenzie county is in good shape
fnancially-in fact it boasts that 1t
IS the only county in North Dakota
not in debt to the state. Nevertheless,
that $4,000 will be far from an unwel-
come addition to the treasury. With
confidence that they have the law on
heir side, the county officials will re-
sort to drastic measures and fight the
,ase to a finish if need be, in making
In effort to collect what in their opin-
on is due the county.
