FACTS ABOUT THE OPENING OF
FORT eERTHOLO RESER.
WALTON

Owing to the large number of in
quiries we are receiving regarding
the opening of the Fort Berthold res
ervation We will submit the following
information which we will continue
to run in order to answer the same
questions received in every mail:
First. The reservation will be
thrown open this coming summer &C
cording to the best information we
have. Congressman Hanna, who in
troduced the bill, has made the state
ment in every letter that has been
written him regarding it. The repre-
sentatives of the government who
made the treaty with the Indians last
summer, said while here, that it would
be oupened this summer. We have no
doubt but that this will be done.
Second. 1t will be opened under
what is known as the lottery system
All those wishing claim will be re-
quired to come to one of the registra.
ton places which will be Plaza and
Ryder, and register during "a certain
period which is yet to be designated.
After all have registered another
date will be set for the drawing when
the names of each registering will
be drawn out of a box and the first
number corresponding to the number
of the claims to be had, will be what
they call lucky numbers" and will
be entitled to their choice in order
in the drawing. After the drawing a
time will be set for the filing. Those
who draw the first one hundred mum.
Der will be given the choice of filing
the first day and the second hundred
the next day and so on until all have
filed.
Third. At the time of filing, the
party filing will have to pay down,
one-tifth of the appraised valution and
two years from that date another
fifth and thereafter one-fifth each year
until all is paid.
Fourth. 1t will take five years to
prove up on a claim and party filing |
will have to actually reside there
and make it his home and cultivate
the soil! Communication proofs will be
paying in addition to the appraised
one dollar and a half to the
acre.
Fifth. About all of this land on the
is first class agricultural
and and will make excellent farms.
The reservation has many creeks
through it and the great Mis-.
souri, river; also the Little Knife
liver. There are many springs scat.
cred over it. Coal can be dug in
ufficient quantities to last for many
ears to come. Every acre will make
t we'll worth your ecort in trying to
ecure it-Plaza Pioneer.

deserted WOMAN
IN A HARD PLACE

stranded here for couple of days.
She went up to Calgary about a year
ago with her husband and he left her
there with the children and she start.
ed to return to her folks at Bowman,
but when she reached here she found
she did not have enough to take her
to her destination and she had to stay
here for a couple of days. Some of
the passengers on the flyer this after
noon learned of her plight and took
up a collection for her, however, she
still lacked a, few dollars of having
enough to pay her fare but that will
likely be raised here.

THE WOMEN OF TEXAS.

In these days, when some women
feel that in some places and some re-
spects they are deprived of some OF
their rights, it is interesting to note
what a Texas writer says of the free
dom and the achievement of women
in his state. In Texas" he says,
women have done almost everything
in the catalogue of commercial posi-
bilities." To enumerate, they own and
successfully operate large ranches;
they lead the country in dairying; they
carry the mail on rural routes; they
ride horseback as we'll as men and are
as handy as men with the whip and
the rope; one Texas cowgirl has the
record of having roped, thrown and
tied a steer in less than a minute;
women operate oil wells and are the
moving force in coal mining; others
have built and now own steel sky
scrapers Moreover, in all parts OF
the state women are organized in clubs
which stand for more activity and all
the better things of life. What the
freedom and activity of the women of
Texas will be when these clubs have
done all the work for which they are
designed is left to the Imagination

The contention that prohibition is a
moral issue is not a sufficient excuse
for the churches going into politics,
for the same may be said of the tariff
or any other political question. Every
political question has its moral side,
so there is no stopping place II the
church as an organization crosses
over the line. This is clearly recog-
nized by many church members and
others who wish the churches well
and are sorry to see them make this
faux pas. 1t will make no votes for
prohibition, but will turn many
against 1t.

II the Protestant churches, as or
CARNATIONS, take part in political
contest, with what consistency can
they blame the Catholics for doing
likewise? The Eagle has recently
published official statistics sent out
by the census bureau showing that
there are, in round numbers, thirteen
and half millions of Catholic COM
municants in the United States. This
is about fifteen per cent of the popu-
lation and might easily hold the bal
ance of power in national election.
This meddling of churches in politics
is a dangerous thing.

The -four mill will open business re-

New Orleans and Havana, where ele-

Before the old opera house was
burned it was customary to use it as
an auditorium, free of charge, for
school exhibitions and the like. Some
think the city should have provided in
the lease of the new theater for such
affairs. However this may be, there is
no doubt that Bryan needs an audito-
rum, and needs it badly. If there were
a place for them to meet many con-
ventions could be secured, which would
bring much money and would be bene-
fetal in other ways.

GOOD ROADS IN
LAMAR COUNTY

The above cut of Lamar county
shows the district which has recently
voted a bond issue of 100000 carried
by vote of 1879 in favor of the issue
to 81 votes against it. The district is
shown by a square in the center OF
the county and the dotted lines in the
map indicate the roads that are to be
permanently improved. There are
eight roads in all and the cost per
mile will be $4,000. The bonds run
forty years in series of $4,000, draw
ing ) per cent interest and are retired
by a sinking fund of . 1-2 cents on the
800 valuation to be taken from the
regular tax levy and set aside annaully
for that purpose.
An interesting feature of the bond
issue of 100000 in the Paris precinct
of Lamar county is the fact that II
does not increase the tax rate; this
was accomplished by methods which
| in all probability can be duplicated
with profit in other sections OF the
state The Commercial Club of Paris
has for several years been trying to
bond the county for one million dollars
ia improve its public highways, but a
quiet canvass proved that the plan
would be defeated at the polls. The
city of Paris was practically solid for
the issue and the rural sections of the
county practically solid against it, The
city of Paris and the district enclosed
in the heavy lines shown on the map
were paying 60 per cent of the county
tax and comprised less than 10 per
cent of the county area. The county
tax money was being divided equally
among the four county commissioners
and spent on practically an area basis.
BY shifting from an area to a property
valuation basis of disbursing the road
funds, the Paris precinct would get
60 per cent instead of 10 per cent of
the money. lHlS ulutItutt NOulu tame
care of the interest and provide
sinking fund for the bond issue. A spe-
cial act of the Legislature was neces-
sary to permit this, but it was secured
without opposition. The plan would
give those who wanted better roads
chance to secure them without cost
and it would also give those who did
not want them worse roads; and ev-
erybody would be satisfied.
Another feature of especial interest
was the provision for a special board
to disburse the fund. This board con-
sisted of seven members, four elected
at the polls and the county judge,
county clerk and road commissioner
ex officio members of the board, the
citizen members to draw SO per day
while in session and their term of
office to last throughout the expendi-
ture of the bond issue.

VALUE FOR TAXATION
VS., VALUE FOR SALE

It is said the county commissioners
of Smith county have requested over
two thousand citizens of the county to
appear before that court and show
cause why their land as rendered for
taxation should not be raised. 1t Is
stated that many farms are rendered
for taxation at from SO to So per acre,
which the farmers refuse to sell for
$40 per acre. If this is a fact, there
needs to be some regulating along this
line.-Tyler Courier-Times.

The decision of the supreme court
that country clubs, private clubs and

to members without state license does
not apply to such clubs in dry terri

he held that they had the law on their
side. The fact that the opinion was
rendered by Judge Ramsey, who is a
prohibitionist, is interesting.

sire to approach thee on this occasion
with that regard which should ever be

thee we can do all things. When sick

thou canst provide the tenderest of
nurses and the most skillful physi-
clans, and when the last struggle Of
mortality is over and We are borne to
the resting place of the dead, thou
canst provide a band of music and a
military escort to accompany us hence.
And, thou Almighty Dollar canst
erect over our grave a magnificent
monument, with living epitaph to
perpetuate thy memory. Amidst the
misfortunes and temptations of life,
perhaps accused of crime and brought
before magistrates, thou canst procure
a shrewd lawyer and we go scott free.
