OPENING MAY
CAUSE Big RUSH

Minot, ~ D.. Sept. 16--Over 500
valuable claims in the Berthold In
dian reservation will be open to entry
oct /, and owing to a confusion in
the law, which authorizes the taking
of the land by ertncr settlement or
entry, some exciting scenes may be
enacted.
The law provides that person
may take possession of the land on
or after 9 O'Clock on the morning of
office at Minot The former method
is called taking the land by set
tlement, and the latter by entry. II
a person settles on the land and
Starts improvements, he has ninety
days in which to make formal entry.
If he settles on the land before an
other person appears at the land office
at Minot to file. he gets the land.
but If the person files before the first
man makes settlement the one who
files first gets It.
But here is the question. If two
men move on to the land and arc
holding 1t down at o'clock on Oct.
/, who gets it? The officials at the
land Office are unable to answer this
question. Such situation would
result in litigation, and only the
courts would probably settle 1t. In
stances of this kind have occurred
before. and in some cases the land
has been cut in two parts and each
man gets half.
Suppose in addition to the two
men being on the land, third man
appears at the Minot land office and
files at a. M, Oct 1. Who gets
the land in this case? This is an
other conundrum for the land Office
officials
"One thing is certain said an of
ficial of the land office this morning
"and that is that no person gains
any right by being on the land be-
fore o'clock Oct. l. Settlement
before o'clock does not count. In
fact, the landseeker has no rights
on the land whatever prior to Q
o'clock on the morning of Oct, l."

The executive committee of the
Fargo Commercial club by resolution
at the meeting held at the noon hour
today, went on record as being heartily
in favor of the city council appro-
priating a sum Of money from the con-
chasing site for the proposed mar
ket house. 1t also went on record
as being opposed to the disbandment
of Co. B and promised assistance.
There was practically a full at
tendance Of the executive committee
present at the meeting which was pre-
sided over by Col Morton Page, and
at the request of the members Alder
man Mcdonald was present and en-
lightened the committee on the status
of the council in regard TO the sub
ject.
That Contingent Fund.
Alderman Mcdonald stated that for
some years there had been a good
deal of agitation in regard to a mar
ket. He stated that there was the
sum of about $500 in the contingent
fund, and that ii had been proposed
to take from this sum $4,000 or $10,-
900 for the purpose of buying a site
for such a market building. He be-
lieyed that this plan was feasible, for
he did not consider that an emel
gency would arise by which the city
would be called upon to need over
$4,000 in the contingent fund at any
time, and that already about $4,000 OF
the $4,000 of the fund had been ap-
propriated. He believed that a site
for market house of about half a
block could be had for less than $l0,-
600, He said that the fact that the
Union Light, Heat & Power Co. had
paid into the city the sum of $5,-
900 or $4,000 In the way of a bonus
was what had assisted very materially
in raising the contingent fund to the
size that ii was. eIs-.-..,t
Colonel Page Talks.
President Page of the club stated
that he believed that there would be
very few il any business men in the
city who would not feel pleased over
having a central market; that the mat
ter had been before the committee and
club for some time and it seemed to
him that If it was at all possible for
sum to be appropriated for such a
purpose by the city council it was the
duty of that body to act. He was as
sured by Alderman Mcdonald that the
budget for the coming year had al
ready been made up and that nothing
could be appropriated from the gen.
eral funds, but that 1t would be pos
sible right away to take the money
from the contingent fund and buy the
site.

Elected in an extraordinary scene this
afternoon in the House of Commons
when George Lansbury, a Socialist

piled that they could not leave the

himself at the treasury bench, shak-

CHICAGO, June 26.--Edward ]. To-
bin. Cook county superintendent Of
schools, declared last night that wo-
men were not competent to teach

bin. many teachers were getting on
ly $35 a month. and in the year pre-
vious many of them, according to the
records, were being paid only s25 and
$50.
81 have told every teacher that
comes under my jurisdiction that her
minimum salary must be $50. The
women l am certifying to the school
directors as capable are worth that
much or more, and they must get it
or they cannot teach in this county.

revoke certificates where the order
was not obeyed.'

W1NNEBAGO, MIMI, June &c.
That southern Minnesota land is one
of the best investments that can be
made is shown by the experience of
". S. Mackie. Two and half years
ago he bought 100 acres in Verona
township for $50 and acre,and has
now sold it to D. D. Springer of Mar.
shalltown, Iowa, for $135 an acre.
Considering the rise in value, and the
crops he has grown on the land, he
figures that his profit has been $751;
900. The new owner has purchased
the place for his son.

NEW TRIAL DENIED.

Fond du Lac Judge Sets Aside Big
Verdict in Hite Libel Suit.
FOND DU LAC, Wis, June 26.-In
the libel action brought by William
Chambers Hite of Mil aukee as exec.
utor of the estate Of Louis Hite,
against Francis B. Keene, United
States consul to Switzerland, Circuit
Judge Fowler of this city has entered
judgment denying new trial.
This suit began in July, 1907, based
on letters written to w. Stone Smith
at Geneva, Switzerland, dated Decem.
Der Is, 1905, and January 6, 1906, and
alleged to contain matter derogatory
to the character of Louis Hite. The
case was not brought before Judge
Fowler until 1909, at which time a
jury awarded damages amounting to
$1,000.
The plaintiff meanwhile having died
Judge Fowler set aside the verdict
because of the Swiss statute of limita-
tons operating against such finding.
The Wisconsin supreme court revers-
ed the Judgment and ordered a new
trial. Later a modified order was
made and the lower court was in
structed TO enter its findings as to
law in the case.
Judge Fowler now finds that the
Swiss law of limitations fixes the linn
it to the right of action in libel case
to one year from the time that the
party injured had knowledge thereof.
On the ground that Lewis Hite failed
to bring the action within year, the
jury's verdict was set aside.

partly due to the fact that the New
York delegation has determined to
vote for Mayor Gaynor, on the first
ballot The evident purpose of this
is to get test among the candidates,
and something OF true line of the
situation. Others interpreted it as
meaning that Gaynor may be doomed
for vice-president.
The Wilson people, who stood by
Bryan almost to man in his fight
for the temporary craftsmanship, is
expecting his support in return when
it comes to the nominating, and appar-
emily base their hopes OF success up
on some such action.
1t is realized by all that the two
thirds vote, necessary to nominate irt
convention, can be secured only by
combination of some of the candi-
dates or by "a break" or "a STAN
pede" of the delegates Various lead
ers are firm in the belief that there
will be no stampede, and say they
don't fear even Bryan himself in that
respect.
A motion of Bryan that the presen-
tation of the platform be deferred un.
til after nominations by the conven.
ton carried, Al to 9. The committee
will recommend this action to the
convention and adjourned until the
convention should determine the mat
ter.
1--WE do not want and must not
have a perpetual debate between the
candidate and the PLATFORM" said
Bryan in the advocacy of his motion
postponing the platform until after
the nomination.
And" he added, "the only way to-
prevent such a result is to name the

of Underwood, Wilson and Clark,
with fainter echoes from all other
candidates answered him.
Demonstrations for rival candidates
swelled gradually and delegations
rose en- masse parading about the
hall, which continued for full seven
teen minutes. Reilly of Massachusetts,.
followed Clayton, and was in turn
followed by Gore of Oklahoma.
