OPEN TO SETTLEMENT
Quarter Million Acres Of Land
in Northern Minnesota.

President Taft has signed a procla-
nation opening to settlement about
$4,000 acres of land in Northern Min
nesota. A large part Of this will be
subject to homestead entry at the
Crookston land Office at 9 o'clock a. m.
June 20, next. Eight townships, en-
bracing $4,000 acres in ranges 80 to
IS, inclusive, and in townships 157 to
159, are within the jurisdiction of the
Crookston office. Tracts on Oak and
Garden islands, in Lake of the Woods
which were claimed and occupied by
Canadian Indians, will also be open
for settlement. The Indians have
been removed from the land.
In the Duluth land district parts of
townships 63 and Ga, range east, on
Pigeon river, Grand Portage lands will
be opened on the same date; also 49,
983 acres on the Fond du Lac reser-
walton in townships 40, SO and 81,
ranges II, Is and 10. The remaining
lands on the diminished Winnibe-
goshish, Deer Creek and White Earth
reservations to the extent of $4,000
acres, will be subject to entry at the
| Cass Lake land Office June 20.
Subject to Immediate Settlement.
Of the Cass Lake land $4,000 acres
are subject to immediate settlement
according to the provisions of the
Clapp-Lindbergh act of 1908. Squat,
tiers will be given a preference in the
matter of entries on lands in the for.
mer forest reserve near Cass Lake
but no such preference will be given
squatters on lands within the REQ
Lake, Chippewa, Fond du Lac and
Pigeon river tracts.
Announcement was made that while
the entire area to be opened to settle
ment on June 20 is classed as agricul
tural land the state will not be de
barred from presenting further claims
for lands which it may. be claimed
lies within these reservations.
These lands were withdrawn from
settlement when the Minnesota ma
tional forest was created, with the
| purpose Of permitting Indians who
| held allotments within the boundaries
of the forest reserve to exchange thei1
holdings for lands on the outside
The proposition, apparently, did not
appeal very strongly to the Indians
for only comparatively few have made
selections in lieu of their lands within
the forest. Recently the order of with
drawal was extended for one veal
from March 13, 1910.

SUNDAY. SCHOOL CONVENTION
World Gathering In Washington Ex-
pected to Be Largest Ever Held.

World Gathering In Washington Ex-
pected to Be Largest Ever Held.
The Worlds Sunday School associa-
ton is to meet in triennial convention
in Washington May 1924. The plans
include so many unusual and spectacu-
lar features that there seems to be
warrant for the confident expectation
Of the enthusiastic leaders that this
will be the most impressive demonstra-
ton of organized Christianity the Unit
ed States has ever seen.
It is a far cry from the obscure and
sneered at ragged school, Of Robert
Raikes, little more than a hundred
years ago, to the Washington conyen-
ton, with a president, governors, SEN
ators, congressman, supreme court JUS
tees and world famous business men
in attendance, not to mention the hun
dreds of representative Christian lead
ers from all climes.
One of the spectacular exhibits at
the Washington convention will be an
array of letters from the foremost pub
lie men in America, reeiting their per-
sonal relationship to the Sunday school,
This will be rather astonishing
showing, the convention leaders de
clare, revealing real connection be-
tween Sunday school training and sue
cess in life. A great parade of mem
bers Of adult Bible classes will pro-
coed down Pennsylvania avenue. It
is expected that several thousand men
will be in line. A children's parade
for one afternoon of the convention is
also projected.
A women's mass meeting and a mems
mass meeting are other program items.
The afternoon sessions will be devot-
ed to hearing from the foreigners, and
these will be called "a congress OF the
world
The 1910 gathering in Washington Is
expected to be the largest Of all.

FIVE ARE BURNED TO DEATH
Perish in a Fire That Destroyed Their
Home.

Five members of a family were
burned to death at Faribault.
Bert Sperry, the father, fell into the
flames when the upper floor of the
home collapsed and his charred body
was found with the arms clasping in
pitiful embrace two little blackened
corpses, the remains of his children.
He had entered blazing room in an
attempt to rescue them. The dead
are: Bert Sperry, father, aged thirty
five; Mrs. A. N. Kellogg, aged sixty
five years, mother of Mrs. Sperry; Ed
ward Sperry, aged seven; Clarence
Sperry, aged three years.
Mr.. Sperry arose about o'clock to
build a fire in the stove. He went
back to bed and about thirty minutes
later neighbors saw the entire interior
of the house was mass OF flames. All
members of the family slept up stairs
and their escape was cut off. Mr..
Hackett, neighbor, succeeded in res
cuing Mrs. Sperry and the baby. The
Oldest girl made her escape.

Dumont, MINI.

Bandits entered the First State bank
of Dumont, dynamited the safe, setting
fire to the building, and made their
escape without securing any money.
More than $500 in paper money was
destroyed by the overcharge of ex-
plosive used.
The citizens were aroused, but made
no attempt to enter the bank Shots
were fired into the building by those
who were near enough and this may

left town northward. Citizens fired
several shots in pursuit Of the men,

THE DEPosED DALAI LAMA.

Side Lights on Former Head Of Tibetan
Government and Religion.
The personal history Of the dalai
lama, former head of the Tibetan gov
eminent, recently deposed for the sec
ond time by the Chinese government
for endeavoring to enlist the support
Of Russia and Great Britain in OPP
posing China's sovereignty and organ
izing general revolt, is shrouded in
mystery. His family name even is
details have come to light regarding
this man who long ruled the only the
ocratic country in the world.
The title "dalai lama" means ocean
priest" For more than four centuries
the bearer of the title has been the
supreme ruler of Tibet and the head
of the Buddhist faith. He is regard
ed as a reincarnation of the founder
Of that religion.
When the British expedition under
Colonel Younghusband in 1904 pene-
trated the hitherto Forbidden City of

lowers, brought about by his policy OF
domineering insolence toward the 9th

the British and was forcibly deposed

the Tibetan capital and thence jour
neyed into China with an enormous
caravan, penetrating as far as PekiI
and being acclaimed by the Buddhis
population along his line Of march.
The Pekin authorities received hin
with courtesy, but gave him to under

To save boys who have tendency

National Highway Protective society
in New York has formulated COM
prehensive plan to provide additional
play grounds for children and boys
cout organization similar to that
which has proved so successful in
England. The support of Mayor Gay
nor of New York city will be enlisted
by the society, and an appeal will be
made to every patriotic person for
contributions to the necessary fund to
engineer the scheme The project had
It's inception about month ago. Colo
mel Edmond S. Cornell, secretary of

ciety, in outlining the scope of the
plan said that the basic idea of the
scouts organization is to further the
interests Of good roads from coast to
coast.
'How," he asks, can an army move
unless it has proper roads?"
At recent meeting of representa-
| tives of children's aid societies Of New
York city, at which Colonel Cornell
presided, a committee Of five was ap-
pointed to request Mayor Gaynor's
help in having the city permit the use
of its unused property and Of school
lots in summer as Fairgrounds. The
lzadvisability Of asking owners Of va
cant lots to let them be used for ball
games, etc., was discussed. A. X.
Wing, counsel for the New York
Transpo company, will take
charge of this plan. The need of quick
action was emphasized by the report
that the number Of children killed in
the streets was increasing with every
month.

Scope of Their Field Work.

The boys will spend the time out
doors mapping the roads, constructing
bridges and performing other field
work. An aeroplane department will
furnish plenty of excitement and in
struction in the fundamental principles
Of aviation. In short, the scope Of
work will encompass the latest scien-
tifc fields, including wireless telegra-
ply. Aside from an effort to build up
character such as will mature into ex-
cellent citizenship material, the boys
will be taught to render the govern
ment direct service, it is believed,
by gradually acquiring much desired
information that would prove valuable
in time of war.
Primarily the scouts movement was
conceived by General Baden-Powell Of
England to instill and stimulate mill
tant national patriotism. He evolved
the idea of combining self sacrifice,
self discipline and national service
/ with a dash of attractive amusement
in educating boys. The moral and so
cial influence has been very marked in
England, it is claimed.
Chief among the basic elements of
appeal in the scout movement is the
fact that it enables every boy to live
in degree life Of adventure and dis
covery so dear to the puerile heart
Colonel Peter S. Bonus, u. S. A.,
retired, has been chosen to head the
l IN, fo%n
His election as commander in chief
seems to have been happy choice, for
Colonel Bonus has an attractive per-
sonality that should appeal to the boys.
Furthermore, he has been an Indian
| fighter and has seen service in the
Philippines. Colonel Clifford Hurry of
New York has been appointed treas
urer of the organization.
Many Wish to Become Scouts.
An effort is now being made to en-
list the right kind Of men in every
state in the Union to take charge Of
the movement in different localities.
a number of applications have already
been received, but the society Is TAX
ing every precaution to secure the best
| available state commanders. If suffi-
cient funds are obtained In time the
scouts will take the field this summer.
Already the plan has met with an
unexpected demonstration OF enthusi-
asm. The other day nearly hundred
ambitious youngsters charged upon the
Offices of the National Highways ASSOC
citation in New York city In an effort
to enlist. They we're informed that
their applications we're premature.
Men in the regular army and national
guard have offered their assistance.
These volunteers are located as far
away as Fort Riley, in Kansas, and
Georgia.
No one OF doubtful character, age or
physique will be admitted in the or
ganization. AS soon as these and SINH
lar preliminary matters have been dis
posed Of recruiting stations will be
opened and the enrolment commenced.

SUPERVISOR To
Be INDICTED
Reported That Grand Jury Viii
Lay Perjury Charge as
Result of Inquiry.

Some sensational developments are
promised as a result of the grand jury
investigation Of the alleged attempt to
bride Supervisor Aylett to support the
Fort street paving contract over the
veto of the mayor. The contract is
dead, 30 far as the board of supervisors
goes, and the matter of the alleged
bride has not had enough tangibility to
support any charges that m ght be laid,
but the matter Of the evidence given
before the grand jury, SO report goes,
has developed some funny features.
As a result, an Indictment against a
member of the board Of supervisors Is
expected. The charge will be that of
perjury.
When the matter of the alleged brib-
cry was first given IN detail in The
Advertiser, it VII be remembered how
very conflicting were the statements
made by the ones supposed to be con
nected directly or Indirectly in the
matter. First Avlett said that he had
been approached with d promise that
sounded like sixteen hundred dollars
and that AHA had had the same oppor-
tunlty to acquire sudden riches, AHA
having told him of the effort made to
break down the wall Of probity he had
maintained about himself. Then Craw-
ford broke into noisy denials of any
guilty knowledge on his part of any
desire to bride anyone, especially
Avlptt or AHA His denial that he had
ever been asked TO take a part in try
ing 10 get majority for the contract
was published just over the assertion
Of A. NJ. Brown that he had asked
Crawford to work for the contract and
