Organize Orchestra
at the High School

The high school orchestra was or.
ganized yesterday evening and 'regu.
lar rehearsals will now begin. There
is much interest taken in the orchestra
this year and it will be a big musical
organization, but there is the usual
shortage of brass and reed instru.
ments. On account of no cornet and
reed instrument teacher being in Val
ley City the high school orchestra has
ben short on those instruments to bal.
ance the string side, and the defect
will apparently not be remedied this
year.
A debating club is being organized
and Superintendent Hanna hopes to
arrange a three cornered meet with
Jamestown and Darlington, in lieu of
taking part in the state debating
league. Two teams will be organized
so that there will be home competi-
ton. and the best will be given the
opportunity to win the honors.

.HoW'S This Mixture

CLAIMANTS OF LAND ON INDIAN
RESERVE FACE PROBLEM
f. ON OPENING DAY.

Minot, N. d., Sept. 17.-Over SOC
valuable claims in the Berthold In.
dian reservation will be open to en-.
try Oct. l, and owing to confusion
in the law, which authorizes the tax.
ing of the land by either settlement
or entry, some exciting scenes may
be enacted.
The law provides that a person may
take possession of the land on or af-
ter 9 O'Clock on the morning Of Oct.
1, or he may file at the land office at
Minot. The former method is called
taking the land by settlement, and
the latter by entry. If 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 another 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.
More Complications.
But here is the question. If two
men move on to the land and are
holding it down at o'clock on Oct. I,
who gets the land? 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 it. In
stances of this kind have occurred be-
fore, 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 ap-
pears at the Minot land Office and
files at 9 a. M, Oct. 1. Who gets the
land in this case? This is another
conundrum for the land office officials.

The erection Of $4,000 brick
and tile plant in Valley City may be
the result of a visit here yesterday by
S. l.. Davidson, A. K. Robertson, and
C. E. Hickman, st. Paul capitalists
and manufacturers of Denison Inter-
locking Tile. Such a plant would en-
ploy fifty to sixty men and the pay
roll would amount to about 5000 a
day. AS most of the labor about the
plant is highly skilled, that class of
workmen are usually married, so they,
with their families, would mean an in
crease in population in Valley City OF
200 to 300.
These capitalists, looking for an in
vestment along the lines in which they
Rave been successful, were taken to
the hills surrounding the city yes
terday afternoon by Secretary Otto
Zetterberg, of the Commercial club,
and shown the deposits of clay and
shale. Samples were taken and a
chemical test was applied. The clay
was found to contain considerable
lime but this does not necessarily af-
feet it, in the opinion of Mr.. David
son, head of the party.
Make Physical Test.
1T is liquid lime,' said Mr.. David
son, ''and may not affect the clay.
However, / do not go much on chem
ical analysis. The only method to de-
termine the value of clay for tile man
ufacturing purposes is by physical
test of strength. We shall give this
clay that sort of test when we make it
into blocks at the factory. A physical
test is the only way we may learn the
actual quality of the clay.
II firmly believe you have the right
kind of clay in these hills surrounding
your city. We may not have found
it today, and in all probability I shall
return here and take week or so,
boring into the hills and making a
thorough search for what We want.
Suitable Clay Here.
''The topography and character of
the soil here is almost Identical with
that surrounding our big plant. It sits
in a basin just like Valley City and
there are many hills so nearly like
these surrounding your city that one
could scarcely tell the difference.

The party of capitalists were direct

Boyd is acquainted with Mr.. Hick-
man and was talking with him at the
Minnesota state fair in St. Paul last
week. The conversation drifted to
brick manufacture and Mr.. Hickman
said he would like to find a new bed
of clay. Mr.. Boyd told him about the
clay beds in the hills surrounding
Valley City, and Mr.. Hickman was so
impressed that he said he would take
up the matter with DR.. Davidson. Mr..
Davidson had heard of the clay beds
here but the conversation led up to
prompt action.

The Commercial club will likely
hold a special meeting to consider
what manner of assistance it can give
Mr. Davidson and his associates in
finding suitable clay for the manufac-
ture of their product and encourage
the location of a new $4,000 indus
try in this city. One of the PROPOSE
tons will likely be an assignment of
number of members to make a
search of the hills surrounding Val

ready for Mr.. Davidson when he re-
turns and point out the beds from
