SHOULD REGISTER VERY EARLY
Supt. Written Of Fort Peck Land Draw
ing, Looking for Rush Last of Month

Indian tepees may have to be
used to facilitate registration at the
Fort Peck Indian Reservation open
ing September 1-20, especially at
GLASGOW and Havre, two of the
registration points.
These two towns have grown so
marvelously in the last three years,
owing to the settlement during
that time of all of the homestead
lands in the surrounding territory,
that there is hardly vacant store
building in either place.
Consequently, Superintendent
James w. Written. who is in
charge of the opening of the Fort
Peck Reservation for the United
States Government, probably will
make requisition on the Interior
Department for score or more OF
the big tepees which Indian Agent
Lohmiller, at Poplar, Montana,
says undoubtedly could be spared
by the Indians.
These are the large tepees which
the Indians use when they go into
camp anywhere. AT the Agency
town, Superintendent Written, in
public statement, urged every
person who intends registering fol
Fit. Peck Land to be on the
ground early. He thinks the rush
if any, will come during the latter
part of the registration period anc
he says the wise ones who are seek
ing land will register the first few
days after September lst.

One of the real big treats of
each theatrical season is that old
but ever popular stage story,
Uncle Toms Cabin, as present
ed by Stetsons big spectacular
company, which will be seen Tues
day Sept. 9th in Kent's Hall.

mechanical surprises are promised.

brand, while the negro melodies
and the southern plantation songs
are rendered as only the genuine
southern darkies know how to sing
them.

Commissioners and Assessors of Nor
thern Counties at Standpoint

Standpoint, Sept. 5-Tomorrow
the commissioners and assessors of
four or five of the northern counties
of Idaho will meet here. Officials
from Nez Perez, Clearwater and
Kootenai counties are expected to
be here to meet the officials of
Bonner county.
The meeting is for the purpose
of putting the agricultural and
timber lands of the several counties
on similar basis as regards taxa
alton, thus making the work of
the state board of equalization
easier.
At the meeting of the state board
this year the lands in the various
counties which are very similar in
all respects, were shown to be taxed
in so different manner that the pro-
posed meeting has been decided
upon as remedial measure.

APPOINTED

The appointment of two men instead

library board in Hammond. an uninten-
tfonal oversight the part of the
school board as explained by John F.
Krost. treasurer of the latter body has
the members of the library board
guessing as to whether their board is
legally constituted
According to the state law under
which public library boards in cities
the size of Hammond are constituted.
the judge of the circuit makes three
appointments the city council two and
the board of education two. a total of
seven. The law says further that wom-
on may constitute the board and adds
specifically that at least three members
should be women. 1t does not specify
from whom their appointments should
come, but the presumption is that each
of the three appointing authorities ap-
points one woman.
The school board recently. when its
appointments were due, re-appointed
the Rev. H NJ. Plaster and put DR.. T.

Two Incidents Out of the

Under the cover of darkness queer
things happen in strange corners and

two incidents that by hapchance are
revealed:

motor car into his garage a few mo-
ments after the headlights had gone
out AS he entered the car bumped
over some obstacle. A lusty cry rent
the air. Lauerman backed the car out
and again passed over the bump, the
body of a tram. Another cry, even
more penetrating.
Very distressed the grocer jumped
out. But the tramp, his rags and tat
