OPENING Will
BRING THOUSANDS

Palermo, N. d, Aug. 5.-Although
the opening Of the Fort Berthold In
dian reservation ID nearly two weeks
away, hundreds of people, both men
and women, are already arriving here
to look over the land, which is by
all means the best agricultural land
In North Dakota. Al stage line Of ten
automobiles Is already in service be-
tween this point and the reservation,
and 1t Is expected that as many more
will be called into service within a
week.
Palermo is the nearest point on the
Great Northern line to the reservation,
being just twenty miles north OF the
gates. L. r. Hannah, secretary OF the
Palermo Commercial club, announces
that he lis receiving numerous inquiries
daily as to these lands and the man
ner OF the acquisition of title to the
same and he has corps of stenog-
raphers at work answering these in
quiries and sending out literature. Mr..
Hannah predicts that the opening OF
these lands viii bring many thousands
of people into this part Of the state.

made on or about Jan. /, and there
must also be paid at that time a years

Besides the revenue from sales and
interest this department annually coll
lects thousands of dollars from the
rentals Of the lands mentioned above.
Public leasings are held once year In
each county, when these lands are
leased to the highest bidder. usually
for hay and grazing purposes only.
though few tracts In the extreme
eastern part of the state which be-
came broken years ago, are leased for
the purpose of cultivation. The leases
issued now bring from 81 per quarter
section upwards, depending upon the
demand for hay lands In the locality
where the leasing is being held. The
leases are made for either one year
or i've, as the applicant desires, and
the rental is payable annually In adj
vance.
North Dakota is indeed fortunate In
being thus endowed, and a careful and
Judicious investment Of this vast leg

The state land department is will
