thusiasts turned out at the meeting
last Friday night Plans for the
coming season were discussed and
it was decided that Libby hould
have good ball team this year.
Things will be run economically
and the old debt left over from
last year will be cleared up. The
Libby team will journey to towns
along the line to play games but

STATE LIEU LANDS WILL NOT BE
GIVEN TO SETTLERS

All settlers on this land prior tc
that date, have rights which the
state will respect, but it will insist
on exercising its preference right
to land which it desires to select,
regardless of the fact that any par
ties have settled on and claimed it
since the first day of March, 1910.
This is duty which devolves
upon the state board OF land com
mlssloners to protect school grants,
as considerable acreage has been
lost by creation of forest reserves
IN the western part of the state,
and the governor took this step to
protect the states interest, thereby
initiating preference right to make
selection of this land.
EMPHAT1CALLY NO
You ask: "Will the state release
these lands under pressure of nu-
merous settlers and sguatters, and
and select other lands IN lieu of
these?' In reply to this question
l will emphatically say mo-, for
it is impossible to find other lands,
in lieu of these, that are desirable
and are not already claimed bv
squatters.
All who have entered on these
tracts and have placed any inn
provements thereon, do so at their
own risk; and they. will very likely
regret it when the time comes to
make selection after the survey.
1 hope you will make this letter
public as soon as possible. l un-
derstand you have paper pub
lished at Scobey; and it would
confer a benefit on the prospective
settlers, as we'll as upon this de-
partment, by having the people
we'll informed as to the states de-
in this matter.

by scheming locators into squattin

tnent, will lose every cent they pu
into improvements on such land
according to warning sent out b,
Deputy Registrar Joseph Oker, o
the state land office.
According to information which
has reached the land office at the
state house, hundreds of these
squatters are rushing in and set
tllng upon lands which they think
are government lands. I,ocators
are taking advantage of their ig
norance to reap profit by settling
them on desirable piece of land
selected by the state but not open
to settlement.
SETTLERS COMING IN RAPIDLY
In the northern, eastern and cen
tral parts of the state, settlers are
coming in rapidly, say officials in
the state land office, and are being
hoodwinked by the rosy claims of
unscrupulous locators.
The land office is in receipt of a
letter from John Shippam of SEQ
bey, in Valley county, calling at
tentlon to settlers who are gather
in5 on lands that have been with.
drawn, and asking what the atti-
tude of the state will be with refer
ence to the situation.
He says that state lands are set
tllng up rapidly and that it is un-
derstood in some quarters that these
lands will be open to settlers soon-
He states in his: communication
that one man shows letter from
an eminent senator in Washington,
saying that President Wilson will
soon proclaim the openings of Ger
tain townships in that vicinity.
LANDS ARE WITHDRAWN
The lands referred to are lands
which have been set aside in lieu
of acreage lost by the creation of
forest reserves, and were with !
drawn from settlement, by applica-
ton Of the governor of this state,
for survey under act of congress
approved August 18, 1894. Ap-
plicatlon was made by the COVER
nor on the land in question, and
proclamation was published at Sco-
hey in two papers there; no one
could initiate any preference rights
on any of this land since date of
proclamation, which was March I,
1910.
Mr.. Shippam asks whether the
state will release these state lands,
under such tremendous pressure of
squatters, and accept other lands in
lieu thereof; to which the land Of
fee officials reply with an emphatic
mo-. They further declare that
settlers who have placed any i'm
provements upon such lambs will
regret it.
SETTLER WARNED
A letter of warning, which COW
ers the situation in other parts of
the state as we'll, has been sent to I
Mr.. Shippam, as follows:

ious growing crops is beyond estima-

Oats were beginning to head in
many places and are rather short.
The later crop will be much benefit
ted with the possible exception of
that on the thin land. This latter
crop was practically beyond redemp-
ton.
Potatoes, too, had suffered much,
but the acreage was small and
accordingly the losses from the short
age of the production will not be so
serious as It would have been year
ago undar like weather conditions.
The late planting may recover from
the set back of the drouth to GER
tain extent. There will be nothing
like the production in the county from
the early crop that tehre was in 1872
Corn, clover and grasses will take
new life and will have an entirely
different appearance within the next
few days, and gardens will at once
begin to bear fruit that will add to
the variety of many tables.
Strawberries too, will receive much
benefit from the rainfall, and the
vines will continue to produce to ma
turity the Young fruit, and further
fruitage will he enhanced.

We're made was not crowded. Next to ME
at the counter sat a pretty woman. well
dressed and with all the hall marks of the
gentlewoman. She was buying gloves for
her year old boy, chatting pleasantly
with the saleswoman while they consult
ed as to color, etc. They had agreed upon
a soft shade of tan when the youngster put
in an oar:
" say mamma. I want white gloves!
All the boys wear them at parties"
But, my son, these are for church |.
This lady will tell you that gentlemen
don't wear white gloves to church. and
when they are out walking or riding"
Both women laughed and the boy blazed
furiously;
" guess I know what wantl I'll have
white gloves or I'll have none! That's all
there is about III"
He jerked his hand out of the saleswom-
ans hold, doubled his fist and thrust 1t
into his pocket seowling up at his mother.
who patted his shoulder soothingly;
There, my darling! you shall have the
white gloves when you are invited to your
next party. l promise it. Now let this
lady fit you to a pair such as your papa
would wear. Won't he be pleased and
surprised when he sees them on Sunday
morning."

and kept his hands in his pockets

going to have them
