ty, Oklahoma, made a raid yester-
day afternoon on the joints along

of trouble for several months. They
have set up temporary quarters on
the state line and crossed the line
from one state to the other at their
when the officers from
either state approached. Preston

Forest" Reserve in Hamilton COun-

MANY GOOD CLAIMS IN RESERVE
Officials Are Troubled by Absence
of Directions for Opening from
GOvernment-Opening
August A.

Topeka, July 17.-Officials of
the United States land offices at
Topeka and Dodge City are puzzled
to know when they are to receive
instructions regulating the big gov
Iernment land opening to be held in
Kansas August 4. The secretary Of
the interior has notified the land
office officials that the restrictions
against settlers in the United States
forest reserve in southwestern Kan
sas have been withdrawn and that
all of the land in this big tract will
be subject to entry under the home
stead law August A, but no announce
ment has been made of the rules
that are to govern the opening.
There is approximately 1000 acres
of land subject to entry in the re-
serve, all of 1t in Hamilton county
and within ten miles of the Santa
Fe railroad. 1t is withdrawn from
entry by the secretary of the inter-
Tor more than ten years ago to be
held as a forest reserve, but trees
ire few and far between in the re-
serve, the government never having
lone anything toward growing trees
here in a practical way. Land of
ice officials say that there are many
inc claims in the reserve and that
hey are getting hundreds of re-
uests every day for information as
0 the regulations concerning the
pening of the tract Of land to set
Iement, but they are unable to give
ccurate, information. However, J.

ffice at Dodge City, says that he j
now convinced that the govern
lent will instruct the land office

MOHLER HAS NOT YET
ANSWERED. STERL'S LETTER

Three weeks ago, VIM. Sterl, pres
ident Of the Commercial club, wrote
to A. L. Mohler, president of the
Union Pacific railroad, asking about
the fountain for the railroad park,
which the company promised to erect
after the city had erected a sign.
No reply has ever been received
and the president of the Commercial
club expressed the belief this morn
ing that the president of the Union
Pacific Is taking his vacation.
Meantime, a measly, dinky, diG-
graceful little stream of the best
water in America trickles forth UNI
derneath the prettiest electric sign
in Kansas.
II don't understand the delay"
said Mr.. Sterl. ample time for al
reply has elapsed. There is no q1cs-
ton that the railroad promised
and they probably will
make good the promise. despite the
refusal of J. o. Brinkerhoff. The 1
bulk of Abilene's freight business
goes over the Union Pacific, and the
Dad cannot afford to antagonize the
merchants"
