MORE LANDS FOR SETTLERS

In addition to the 1000, ,0OO-acre
tract of ceded Indian lands of the
Rosebud Indian reservation in Mel
lette county, which will be opened to
white settlement next month, several
hundred thousand acres of land situ-
ated in Harding and Perkins coun-
ties, in the northwestern part of the
state. near the Montana and Wyom-
ing boundary lines, will be opened to
settlement in the course of the next
month or two.
The land was withdrawn by Presi-
dent Taft last year SO an examina.s
tlon could be made by government
experts to determine the volume Of
coal deposits through the region. A
considerable portion of the territory
withdrawn by executive order is un-
derlaid by extensive Ignite coal de-
posits, making necessary a reclassiti-
cation before it goes permanently in
to the hands of settlers.
The surveying party engaged in
classifying the lands embraced in the
withdrawal order is making rapid
progress and is pushing the work to
completion as speedily as possible.
This fact encourages the hope that it
will not be long until the classifica-
ton will be completed and the great
er part Of the lands will again be re-
stored to the public domain and be
subject to homestead entry.
This will enable the homesteaders
who make entry of the restored lands
to make communication (cash) iinai
proofs without the necessity OF sign
ing away their mineral rights. and
the patents Cities issued by the gov
ernment covering these restored lands
will give the homesteaders full title
to the land, without any reservation
as to coal or other mineral, as is the
case ii ordinary homesteai proofs
where classiications had not preyi-
ously been made by persons working
Under tho direction os tie 8 ni5sd
States geological survey.
The Ignite coal beds in that part
of the state are proving of great bene-
fit to the homesteaders of the region.
1t is prairie region, and the exten-
siye coal deposits effectually solves
the fuel problem for the homestead
ers who have occupied such parts Of
the region as had not been withdrawn
by the executive order of last year.

ALFALFA PALACE PORTLAND SHOW

How the wonderful alfalfa plant
has been brought to America, accli-
mated in zones further north than it
has ever known before, together with
graphic demonstrations as to it's
value as food for stock, will be
shown at the Northwestern Land
Show in December in a great exhibit
known as the Alfalfa Palace.
The exhibit will be installed to
show samples of alfalfa seed aud
samples of the hay, various methods
of curing the mixing with corn and
other grains. Finally it's effect when
used with grain to make balanced
ration for live stock.
The Northwestern railway lines
have arranged to install this exhibit
and it will ,be made especially inter-
esting to the northern states. Some
states have imagined that the legume
plant known US alfalfa, would not be
adapted to their climate, but the
plant breeders at the experiment sta
tions have stretched the alfalfa belt
northward and one of the features Of
the show in st. Paul next December,
will be to show the success with
which alfalfa is produced in the
north.

In his speech he gave attention to

EDISON SOLVES ANOTHER
PROBLEM

Thomas A. Edison. one of the
worlds greatest inventors whose
genius has done much toward the ad-
vance of civilization, has justly been
termed wizard. y
But if to that were added the word
Freak, the electrical juggler would
be more aptly described.
For in comparison with the ordin-
ary human, Edison is freakish.
just before starting on a European
trip for the first time in twenty-five
years, Edison proved his freakishness.
He is man who apparently does
not need sleep or food except in mini
mum quantities. And yet he expects,
because of his peculiarities in that
direction, to live $50 years, longer
than men for generations before him
have lived.
The consumption of half a handful
OF solids at a meal he terms proper
eating.
Oblivion for four hours in bed he
terms proper sleeping.
And in strong contrast to the ma
Jority of men, he declares that work
has made of earth a paradise for him
and he is we'll content, for he does
not believe in any paradise up above.
| Upon boarding the steamer for for
eign shores, he said he expected to
have something new ere long. In
fact he has just finished something
new in the shape of talking pictures
which are truly wonderful.
But every man to his trade.
| If Edison can keep on turning out
inventions of great benefit to man
kind with his stomach at work on
but handful of food, the world
should not worry.
And if he never sleeps, it should be
no particular cause for worry, for
Edison is we'll fitted mentally and
physically to take care of himself.
Yet his freakishness throws a won
| aeTfui ray VI light on the useless cost
of high living, for if the world in
general could train itself to exist on
a half-handful of solids at meal, as
Edison processes to do, a problem
which is now yexing the masses
would be solved.

Lumber as Test Of Dcmocacy.'

"Lumber as n Test of Democracy"
Because Senator Simmons, of
North Carolina, voted for per
cent duty on lumber ION the belief
that it was a revenue. duty and in
accord with the historic democratic
principle of revenue tariff, II seems
an attempt was made by certain
senator's to read him out Of the party
a few days ago.
1.-The lumber test OF democracy
was relent!essly applied By Mr., Kern,
of Indiana, who ran OH the ticket
with Mr.. Bryan in his latest attempt
TO reach the presidency. as we'll as
by other senator's.
THE effort to ostracise d senator
who voted for revenue duty
proven to be such by the reports Of
the treasury observation-disclosures
the last democratic national plat
form called for free lumber, presents
some unpleasant aspects. Several
members of the Georgia delegation
in congress would be ruled out OF
the party nnder this interpretation
1T seems that lumber is great

ing tens of thousands of persons, and
thai this industry profits Incidentally
by the revenue duty which brings
$7.0o0,0OO annually into the ma
tional treasury.
In the last campaign number
Of candidates for congressional hon
ors in North Carolina frankly avow-
ed they would not vote for free lum-
Der. despite the national platform

the lumberman needs In his industry
were also put on the free list.
Senator Summons took the posi-.
tion that this bromise to tho people
OF his state relieved hin OF the ohli.
CATION Of the platform
IL duty Of per cent on lumber
is a revenue duty. as proven by the
fact that it produced more revenue
