Opening TO
Be AUG. n.

In speaking of the provisions OF his
bill in congress providing for the sur
face rights in the matter of the coal
reserve lands in the Berthold reserva-
ton which will soon be opened to the
public for homesteading purposes,
Cong. L B. Hanna said this morning
to a Forum reporter that he thought
all the lands would be opened for reg
istration on Aug. IA, and the registra-
ton would continue for three weeks.
''The proclamation" he said, 'will
soon be issued for the opening of the
Fort Berthold reservation, the regis
tration beginning Aug. IA and continue
ing for about three weeks.
my new bill, which prepared and
had approved by the law department
of the government land office, fully
provides for all surface rights to set
tiers in the matter of the coal lands
now reserved by the government. This
new bill gives the settlers full privilege
of filing there on the coal lands with
the coal reserved to the government.
So it will be opened for registration
just the same. and at the same time AS
the non-coal land.
II have taken this matter UP also
with Secretary Fisher of the interior
department and the bill has his in
dorsement and will go through cons
gress in plenty of time for filing by
settlers without question. came back
from the west the other day a little
sooner than expected SO that might
take this matter up more fully with
Judge Whidden, who has charge of tho
opening of the reservation and with
MIR. Francis of the bureau of Indian
lands"
Mr.. Hanna has given this matter
great deal Of attention and has gone 70
great pains to prepare a bill that will
provide for every contingency and con-
venlence of the settler who cares TO
file at the opening of the reservation.
Later on the government will make
an extensive geological survey of the
coal lands in the Berthold reservation
and probably viii increase the mimi
mum depth OF the ignite veins from
their present rate Of thirty inches to
forty weight inches by an accurate In
vestigation and lands having less aver
age depth of coal vein win be released
to settlers with full title.
Mr.. Hanna did not know just when
this survey would be made, but
thought it could be looked for within
year or two.

POLICE AFTER
ALLEGED Count

Bismarck. N. d., June 23.--Chief of
Police Mcdonald has received tele-
gram from the police of Spokane ask
ing him to arrest and hold one G..
Julius Meyers, who was wanted on a
charge of grand larceny. The message
stated that Meyers was posing as a
German count.
Meyers, it will be remembered, was
registered at the Hotel Mckenzie
about June 8, and posed as a German
army officer. When interviewed by
a newspaper representative he stated
that he was always bothered by re-
porters and did not talk very much.
There was great deal of talk in the
hotel lobby about the mans actions
as he claimed that he had lost his
wallet and borrowed some money and
later blew it all In in slot machines.
However, it is not known whether or
not the man was an imposter, although
it is generally believed that such is
the case. He left here about two
weeks ago and the police have no
clue as to his present whereabouts.
