When the government announced
about three weeks ago that the land
will be thrown open there was rush
for the ground and at present the dis
trict is dotted with tents and corner
stakes have been put up on many of the
tracts. BY doing this the settlers are
gwen prlor rights on the uay OF tne
opening of the land. If there arc stimuli
taneous entries on the land the settler
Will have the preference and the other
entries will be denied This fact led
to general rush and by the time the
land is thrown open there will be none
available except to settlers with prior
rights.
The land is located in township 81
south. range Is west. which is the
township directly east of Modcna. The
main line of the Salt Lake Route runs
through the land, which also increases
the value.

TO be homesteaded and it is expected
this amount Will be taken almost stimuli
taneously The record as it stands at
present is 10000 acres in three min
utes
The land offered near Modena is
semi arid and will be opened for entry
under section of the enlarged home
stead act which provides 800 acres to
each entry and does not require resi-
dence on the land.

Bangor, Me, May 1,-Thousands Of
people were rendered homeless and
property, estimated at $6.0O0,O00, de-

this city last night. Rain finally
squelched the flames, but brought mis-

crushed to death by falling walls, and
George Abbott, a fireman who was
killed by a topping chimney.
Homeless, wet, hungry ano exhaust

women and children could be seen hud-
died amound smoldering bonfires or
stretched along the edge of the ruins,
endeavoring to warm and dry them
selves Although the rain brought dis
comfort to the homeless, 1t was the
means OF bringing under control the
great con1agration which ragged for
more than seven hours last night.
At 7:45 a. m. today the fire was vir-
tually extInguished. Estimates of the
probable loss varied, but it was gem
orally thought that at least $6,O00,00O
worth Of property had been destroyed.
The loss of life, so far as known

been admitted to the hospitals. The
attention of the authorities was d.
