UNCLE SANS LATEST LOTTERY
IN MONTANA, Is BEING HAND
! LED IN EXPEDITIONS AND BUS
INESs-LIkE MANNER-HoTELs
TAKE GOOD CARE OF CROWDS.

w. C. Grigsby, Of indianapolis, sup
ervisor general agent of the Liberal
Life Assurance Co. of Anderson, Ind.
spent the past two days at Glasgow,
Mont, being interested in the methods
of handling the registration and
drawing for the Fort Peck land at
that point. r."
Mr.. Grigsby says that the registra-
ton is being handled in a more expe-
ditious manner than any previous
land drawing which the government
a conducted. On one of the days he
was there, he assisted in the registra-
ton. A special train came in from
Kansas City at 1888 p. m, with GAO
people aboard. They got off at Glas-
gov, went to the registration office
with their grips in their hands and in
less than half an hour the officials had
disposed of 562 registrations. The
Kansas crowd was back at the depot,
ready to return on their special, at
9:25 p. m.
The hotels at Glasgow, and at the
other registration points, had made
preparations for immense crowds. but
they have been disappointed. Most of
those who come in to register, go back
home again at once, or on through to
Glacier park, or other points west.
1t is to be regretted that there are
a large number of tourists, registering
who have no intention of ever becom-
ing homesteaders. They avail them
selves of the stop-over privilege, on
their way through to Glacier park, and
register because it only costs them rs
cents, not because they want the land.
However, there is no way to prevent
this.
In spite of the fact that there is a
county fair and. a city carnival on at
Glasgow, the crowds have been hand
led easily. The registration office is
kept open from $50 a. m. to midnight,
and there is no congestion. A total Of
1900 people registered on Sept. IL.
About 1880 had registered up to
Thursday. in Glasgow alone. 1t is ex-
pected that there will be $4,000 regis
trations by the closing day, Sept. 20.
The drawing will take place on Sept.
% at Glasgow. There are $3.50 allot-
ments to be made. and there will be
about $4,000 names to draw from.
This is one of the largest land OPEN
ings the government has ever con-
Quoted.

Rates we're
ALREADY Lowered

"Staticn Agent Johnson Of the
Northern Pacific informs me that the
fare from Fargo to Duluth has been
lowered to meet the requirements of
the new rate, which went into effect
July 1, for six weeks" said F. o.
Gibbs, traffic secretary Of the Fargo
Commercial club, this morning.
HE directed my attention to the
story in The Forum on Saturday
night regarding the matter l have
taken up with the officials of the rail-
road and told me he had been author
lied to make the reduction in the fare
six weeks ago." continued Mr.. Gibbs.
This /. did not, know and hope the
impression so far as Fargo goes will
be corrected, The matter J took up
with the Northern Pacific officials re-
garding this matter pertained more in
particular to a case in Moorhead.
"a well known Fargo business man
purchased transportation from Moor
head to Duluth, They charged him the
old. rate by the long route through
Wisconsin. When he applied for his
refund they apprised him he was
charged in accordance with the inter-
state rate. He turned the matter over
to me and I took it up.
IF Fargo has made the reduction
in compliance with the new rate, ac-
.cording to the Minnesota law, as Sta
ton Agent Johnson informs me, then
the Moorhead fare to Duluth is great
er than from Fargo to Duluth"

EVeninu Grain Le+ter-

Chicago, Sept. 15.-Wheat has been
dull and featureless. The lower Liv-
erpool cables and free Russian ship

outside interest was of such small
proportions that it was unable to get
out of the rut. Premiums for cash
wheat are being maintained every

At the premiums offered. The foreign
situation will depend on the offerings
by surplus producing countries and
especially Russia. While there may be
a rush of first marketings, we believe
that her short rye and oats crop will
cause a Tightening. that will be felt
throughout the entire crop year. We

UNUSUAL nerve
And GOODNESS

John Mllligan, driver of the engin4
at the fire station, showed unusual
GOODNESS and bravery yesterday in
stopping a team of runaway horses
last night.
The team, which belonged to the Red
River Laundry Co, became frightened
at a passing automobile on Broadway,
near Fourth avenue, and plunged down
the street. AS 1t was just shortly be-
fore the supper hour, there was a
crowd of women and children on the
street, and MulliGan realized that there
was great danger that someone would
be hurt or killed by the frightened
team.
From the sidewalk Mulligan saw the
team. and unhesitatingly leaped at
their heads as they passed him. He
caught the bride of one of them, and
succeeded in bringing them to stop on
Second avenue. He was dragged along
for about half a block before the team
stopped, and was in imminent danger
Of being trampled under the horses
boots, had he fallen.
