N, P, LANDS RELEASED

The action of the N. p. in plac-
ing all it's land holdings in
Meagher county on the market, is
welcome news, especially to the
eastern end of the county. The
railroad lands comprise thousands
of acres of the most valuable agri-
cultural lands in this part of the
state, and the withholding of these
lands from purchase has greatly
retarded developement in this end
of the county. The commercial
club took this matter up some
time since with the land commits
sion of the N. p. with the above
results. Though the prices of
these lands have not been made
public they will probably range
from SIS to $25, depending ON ac-
feasibility to railway facilities.
Information can be secured by
addressing the commission of the
N. p, Helena, Montana.

CHICAGO IDEALLY LOCATED
: FOR IRRIGATION CONGRESS

rule now is, it is reported generally,
that when an inquiry appears it us
ualiy comes from man of means
whose request for informat.O mis- fol
lowed in most cases by an actual pun
chase of a farm home.
Railway immigration men in Chi
cago are jubilant over the situation
and express themselves generally as
of the opinion that the coming few
years will mark the greatest agricul-
tural advancement in the history of
the nation. Officials of lines penetrat-
ing the west are looking forward 10 a
greater movement of colonists during
1911 than took place last year, i'm
portant as that year was. Down in
Dixie and in the south west, the rail
way opinion is that the tide of immi-
grafton will exceed this year the rec
ord made last year for increased popu.
lation and the reasons for this optinl-
ism are logical ones.
A forcible illustration of the stabil-
ity of the middle western movement,
for instance, is found in the develop
ment which took place, or is indicated
as soon to take place because of the
influx of land settlers, in the state Of
Utah in February. During this one
month 10000 acres of lands were taken
under the provisions of the homestead
law. The United States land office at
Salt Lake City reports this acreage
as the largest, by fifty per cent, for
the business for one month in the his
tory of the office. Recently a home
seekers excursion was operated from
Chicago to western Texas. The colon.
lists represented twenty different
states.
These are some of the more potent
contentious of Chicago business men
in their predictions concerning the
success that will mark the work oi
the Irrigation Congress in Chicago this
year. Chicago is the one American
center and source of distribution most
logically adequate to the enormity o.
the development movement as whole
and the city is naturally the most ad
vantageous host this year for the con
gress and for the exhibits of farm
products, which are to be repeated here

FIVE NEGROES TO HANG
FROM SAME SCAFFOLO

Oklahoma City April 25.-Five
negroes will be hanged from the same
scaffold in Oklahoma City June 81 for
the murder of w. H. Archie, who was
robbed and killed March 8, if the
sentence passed by District Judge w.
e. Taylor, Monday, is carried out. One
of the negroes, Henry Prather, plead
ed guilty. The others were tried and
convicted, their punishment being fix
ed by the jury. Prather confessed
soon after his arrest, admitting that
he fired the fatal shot. The other ne
groes are James Holmes, "Bub" John
son, Charles Posey and Elijah Turner.
According to the confessions of the
negroes, Archie was beaten until he
was unconscious, robbed and then shot
to death.
The sttorney for Holmes filed appli
cation in the criminal court of appeals
today for release of his client on g
writ of habeas corpus which VII. be
heard on April 25.

STATE MUSEUM or GEOLOGY
ESTABLISHED At NORMAN

In compliance with clause in the
law instituting the Oklahoma geologi-
cal survey, a permanent state museum
of geology has been established at
Norman. A portion of the building
devoted to the offices of the survey
has been temporarily fitted up to
house the exhibits until more suit
able structure can be secured. Large
glass enclosed tables have been in
stalled over the floor area, and the
walls covered with rows of spacious
shelves in order to display the ex-
hibits to their best advantage. Every
thing in the museum will be of Okla
homa origin. Collection of minerals,
fossils, building stones. clays and clay
products, natural curios cement series,
sample of crude and refined oils, chem
| ical waters and other things of geo.
logical nature will be shown. Every
specimen will be plainly labeled with

it was taken 1t was said that the
mineral exhibit at the state fair last
year was the most complete and var
led of any collection ever gotten to-
gether by one state at one time. The
new museum will be an exact repro
duction of that exhibit on smaller
but more detailed plan.
The public is invited to go through
the museum at all times and will re-

PLAN TO REDUCE
MILEAGE FAILED
Representative cox's Proposal to Fix
Travelling Allowance Of Congress
men at Five Cents Killed.

Washington, D, c., April 25.-An at
tempt to cut down the amount of mile
age paid members of congress for ex-
penses in going to and from Washing
ton, and a controversy over the extent
to which democratic economy shoEi5
affect the clerkships to committees,
brought about a debate in the house
Monday afternoon and resulted in the
defeat of a provision for nine clerks
to committees entailing an expenditure
of Sc a day each.
The provision for the clerks was
brought in with minor appropria-
tion bill by Chairman Fitzgerald of
the appropriations committee. Re-
publicans charged the democrats with
not having thoroughly systematized
their affairs and with trying now to
add some of the clerks previously
dropped when the economy experts
pruned down the house payroll.
Democratic leaders asserted the
clerks were those usually assigned to
the important committees of the
house. Mr.. Fitzgerald finally urged
that the provision of his bill relating
to the clarks be voted out.
Representative Cox of Indiana pro
posed to cut the mileage allowance
for congressman from 10 cents to 5
cents mile, but his plan met with
no warmth of welcome, and was ruled
out of order Representative Garrett
of Tennessee urged Mr.. Cox not to
make the motion now when we all
need the money" but to make it at
, the next session.
The house passed bills to correct
errors in previous appropriation meas
ures to pay $2O1,O00 in mileage to
members of the house and senate, and
to provide for pages, extra employees
and stationery and printing of speeches
for the individual members.

Chicago, H., April 24.-For all the
elements that combine to make an
irrigation or drainage project COM
plete-engineers money, settlers, ma
chinery, the necessaries of life; prac-
tically everything in fact aside from
the land and the water-there is 10
other source of supply in the United
States which can compare with Chi
cago.
Chicago, centrally located is logl-
cally the distributing center for every
thing pertaining to irrigation and farm
land development in three directions
at least, and with its financial and
various other facilities, the city is nat
urally the great clearing house for all
the enormous interests involved,
sAkSth, west and south, and east to no
small extent.
With these facts apparent at first
glance to the most ordinary observer
it is generally conceded that the
Queen City of the Lakes-with two
and one-half millions of people of her
own and with ten times as many more
within the scope OF ten-hour jour
ney on a railways of such import
ance as a nation center that the Ma
tional Irrigation Congress is especially
. fortunate to be her guest this year.
! That the nineteenth sessions OF the
congress, which are to be held here
in December will constitute the great
est gathering of the kind ever wit
messed in this country is no unfound-
ed boast based merely on preliminary
enthusiasm.
The congress already has been made
part of throbbing Chicago because
of the interest shown in the work by
the Chicago board of control of close
to 100 of the city's foremost business
and professional men, and the con-
gress year will necessarily be big in
exact proportion to Chicagos custo-
mary 81 Will'' manner of accomplish
