MORE LAND FOR SETTLERS
Opening of Berthold Reservation
Favored by Indian Affairs =.
Committee

OverM million acres will be thrown
open for settlement in the Fort Ber-
thold Indian reservation by the Han
ma bill which the Indian affairs Com
mittee' voted upon favorably Satur-
day, states Washington, D. c., dis
patch. Aside from opening an i'm
mense tract of the valuable Indian.
land in North Dakota, the Hanna bill
contains a number of features which
carry out the new conservation policy
of the government.
In the first section of the bill it is
provided that the land shall be ex-
;.mined by the geological survey and
if any of it is found to contain coal
or other minerals, the secretary of
the interior is to reserve it for allot-
ment and distribution until congress
shall provide for it's disposition. In
the event that any mineral land is
allotted to the Indians they are to re-
]inquish title in it and select some
other portion of the reservation. The
establishment and maintenance of
model farm for the instruction of
Indians in farming is provided for
by setting aside tract of $40 acres
and an appropriation of $4,000 to
purchase machinery and erect build
ings upon the farm. The manage
ment and control of the farm is to
be under the supervision fthe COM
missioner of Indian affairs.
Ten lots in each townsite is to be
set apart for a school, park and
ether public purposes: This is an en-
tirely new feature in land legisla-
tion, and, it is thought, will result in
the establishment of park system
in all the towns located in the reser-
yation. There is also a provision
by which the ruins of old Fort Ber-
thold and the Indian burial grounds
are to be reserved.
Sections 16 and SO of each town
site are to be set aside for school
purposes which is not to be sold for
less than $40 an acre.

AGAIN ATTEMPT
TO END STRIKE
Philadelphia Business Men
Renew Efforts.
MOVEMENT IS CITYWIDE

Association Now at Work includes
Practically Every Concern Of Any

ed by General Strike Order Not Yet
Definitely Known.
Philadelphia March ALI Phila.
delphia hopes that the citywide move
ment begun by the United Business
Mems association to bring to quick
end the great labor conflict that has
kept the ''city of b-otherly love- in a
turmoil for more than two weeks, will
meet with greater success than the ef-
fort made last week by the same body.
This organization asked the Philadel-
phia Rapid Transit company and May
or Reyburn to arbitrate the differences
existing between the company and
the men, but was given no satisfaction.
The association, which includes
practically every business man of any
standing in Philadelphia, will now en-
large the movement by taking in other
organizations that stand for the prog
ress Of the city.
Business, especially in the central
part of the city, has suffered to an
extent not known in years and it is
feared that the heavy spring and
Easter trade Will be seriously dis
turbed if an end is not soon brought
to the Industrial war.
Figures Widely Divergent.
Although it is now four days since
the general strike order to all union
workers in sympathy with the fight
of the trolley mems union went into
effect it is still impossible to state ac-
curately the strength of the movement.
Widely divergent assertions continue
to be made by both sides in the con.
troversy.
The union leaders say that the 1885,.
600 workers they had expected to walk
out are all on strike and have been
Joined by at least 10000 more men and

ized.
The police authorities, on the other
hand, declare that careful compila'
tion Of the reports of thorough can
vass shows less than 10000 on strike.
The police back up their statement by
detailed list of the many concerns
affected.
Independent Investigators, who have
also made canvasses, say that while
the police figures are fairly accurate
for the establishments represented,
many occupations have been over
looked. It is also pointed out that the
number of people who will be affected

public safety in compiling his figures,

Samuel Gompers Declines to Speak to

Chicago, March 9.-Samuel Com.

EIGHT HUGS COST $16.50
Chicago Man Embraces That Number
Of Young Women.

Chicago, March 9.-Eight hugs, a
different young woman being en-
braced each time, are worth exactly
$16.50, according to judicial appraisal.
Peter Westereichert, thirty-6ve
years old, was arrested by two police
men, who charged him with disorderly
conduct because, they alleged, he had
hugged eight young women. In each
instance the young woman screamed,
blushed and fed.
after he hugged the eighth we
seized him and locked him up" said
Policeman Fox. 1--WE couldn't get the
names of the women because each ran
away as soon as he let her loose"
II plead guilty, judge. can't say
anything more. 1 must have been dis
orderly"
"'Those eight hugs will just cost you
$40 and the costs of the court, $16.50
in ALL" said the Judge.

AMERICAN MILLIONS BUYING
VANCOUVER TIMBER.

'The reasonable certainty that the
government of British Columbia is
about to introduce legislation that
will make timber licenses perputual,
is reported to be stirring up capital
on this side of the line and many
deals involving the acquisition of
thousands of acres of timber on Van
couver Island and the mainland are
now being negotiated. It is estimat-
ed that several millions of United
States capital will be invested in
British Columbia timber lands dur
in the next few months" COPIED
from the Mississippi Valley Lumber
man, Feb. 4th).
This shows clearly that investors
are being aroused to the value Of
timber as an investment and are
rapidly buying up all available tim
ber tracts both in the United States
and British Columbia.
The publicity recently given to
timber conditions on this continent
by Clifford Pinchot, who is ex-chief
forseter of the United States is large
ly responsible for this movement.
Pinchot's Investigations show that our
total amount of standing timber is
now only about one thousand five
hundred billion feet and that we are
cutting timber at the rate of 55,000,-
100000 feet each year. Unless
something radical is done tending to-
wards the conservation of our for
ests, the timber supply in the United
States will be exhausted in less than
rs years.
Already this publicity is beginning
to have it's effects on the price of
logs, as shown by the recent reports
from the Pacific coast. On Feb. I,
the price of flooring logs was advanc-
ed to $14, an increase of 81 per
thousand over the old list. Merchan-
tables were advanced 81 and number
twos 80 cents.
These figures show conclusively
that the investor who judiciously buys
timber at the present prices, is certain
to realize a handsome profit on his
investment.

JAMESTOWN COLLEGE
Events of Interest During the Week
at College on the
Hill

AL eVeuL mer1tluS 10 llLtle uOtlCe
and one that will not soon be for
cotton by the students of Jamestown
college was the pleasant reception
given by the young ladies of the
college to the members of the Young
Mems Temperance Association last
Saturday evening at the college hall.
The assembly room was beautifully
decorated with flags, penants and
draping, and granduer was added to
the evenings proceedings by the di-
verse costumes in which the students
appeared in endeavoring to show
their future vocation. Games and
amusements of various kinds were
INDUCED in after wich refreshments
that taxed the palate to it's utmost
were served. The students dispersed
feeling that they need never wish to
spend more pleasant evening.
A number Of the college students
dined Saturday at the home of John
Knauf. 1t is needless to say that
among the friends of the students
none are held in higher esteem than
Mr.. Knauf, and many pleasant in
stances during college life to be re-
called in future years will be closely
associated with him, our common
friend.
Miss Anna Graham, one of the
most popular of our young ladies and
one of the leading characters in all
her classes, left Wednesday for her
home at Ryder, North Dakota. Miss
Graham has been one of the most
active members in our organizations
and by her pleasant and gratifying
manner has endeared herself to ev
cry student and teacher in the school.
| She will teach one of the rural schools
of her home district and the stu
dents join in heartiest wishes for
every success in her work.
Dean Knepper has nearly all of
last week been confined to his room
on account of illness. He is, how
ever somewhat better and will leave
today for trip to the coast in search
of much needed rest and health.
Prof. F. W. Wimberly, director of
music, who, in consequence of his
recent illness had been obliged to
teach at his home, has again, we are
pleased to say, taken up his duties
at the college.
At the regular meeting of the Lit
erary society this week Mr.. William
Osborne rendered his resignation to
the Office of president, which was
accepted and Mr.. A. G. Woychik was
elected as his successor. Miss Marie
Johnson was elected treasurer.
Our basket ball team left last
Wednesday morning on their tour
thru the southern part of the state.
They defeated the LaMoure team in
that city Wednesday by a score of
% to 21. Thursday evening the
boys met defeat in the game at Ell
lendale, the score being II to "a
in favor of that city. Thru some
Misunderstanding the game schedul-
ed for Friday with the Aberdeen
normal team, was not played.
The two long looked for kettle
drums for the college orchestra, have
at last arrived. The orchestra is
progressing rapidly. The harp play

law and her year-old son met theil
death in trying to drive from Mahto

Before our meeting closed we de-
cided to give picnic for the children
whose aid we got in cleaning up the
streets.
Our picnic was held the 23rd of
July in Klaus Park. 1t was a grand
success if the amount of good things
TO eat and attendance are good indi-
cations.
Ever since I have lived across the
river, some eleven years I have al
ways seen the need of good side walks
and a foot bridge across the river
as with the exception of Fifth ave-
rue Main street is the MOST travelled
of any street in Our city. This mat
ter fsidewalks was talked over With
the gentlemen present and they voted
to do all they could to help us.
That they kept their promise can
be seen if one should walk from the
hank corner to the round house. We
lave goods walks all that distance
and a handsome foot bridge, six feet
wide built on the south side of the
wagon bridge. No person but one
living in the west end can appreciate
the value of our foot bridge, as it
makes it safe for children going and
coming from school, They are not
in the danger Of getting hurt from
teams and autos which cross the
bridge at all hours of the day.
We are we'll satisfied with what
work has been done and hope that
with the year 1910 we will be able
to show a big improvement over
1909.
Signed Rulon.

COOPERATION

showed that the health authorities
only want the cooperation of physi-

1t Is not fight for the maintenance
or adjustment of placards, but sim
ply an effort to ascertain the best
method Of securing the goodwill Of
physicians, SO that every case of con-
tagious disease may be reported, was
the assertion Of Health Commits
sioner Henderson at the meeting.
Views, Of various physicians, that
were published in the NEWS yester-
day, were discussed. The commits
sioners lauded the NEWS for its ef-
fort in securing the interviews, and
said that the present discussion on
