The Sea Gull.
The woods are full of merry minstrelsyf
Glad are the hedges with the notes OF

But Ger the sad and uncompanioned sea
No love-lorn voices ring
Gray mariner of every ocean cline.
If I could wander on as SIRE a wing,
Or beat with yellow web thy painless sea,

Would 1 could share thy silver-fiashing
swoop.
Thy steady poise above the bounding
deep,
Or buoyant float with thine instructive
trust,
Rocked in a dreamless sleepi

UNCLE SAM TO RATTLE FARMS.
5000 Farms in the Last Big Land Op-
ening Are Located in Northeast
ern Part of Montana.

Washington, D. c., Aug. 25-Nearly
nine thousand 100 acre farm homes
will be drawn by the lucky ones" as
the result of the throwing open of l.,
$4,000 acres of land upon the Fort
Peck Indian reservation in northeast.
ern Montana next month. This is the
last great land drawing Uncle Sam
has to offer his people and one of the
greatest in the history of the govern
ment land openings in point of fertil-
ity.
Government agricultural experts es-
innate that when this vast stretch of
soil is titled it will add about 25,000,-
900 bushels of grain annually to the
production of the United States
enough to feed an entire nation.
The interior department is making
extensive preparations to rush a big
corps of clerks to Glasgow, Havre
and Great Falls, Mont, which are to
be the registration points. These land
offices will be open September 1st and
the work OF filing for this land will
then begin. The people will have a
chance to continue filing until Sep
TENDER Goth.
The vastness of the area opened to
white settlement is expected to make
this one of the most alluring land op-
enings ever presented to the people
inasmuch as their opportunity of get
ting something in the drawing will be
much better than in any previous land
opening For instance when the
Couer 'Alene, Flathead and Spokane
land drawings We're held last year 90
900 filed and drew for the lands in
total area of which was about one
fourth of the area to be opened upon
the Fort Peck reservation.
Government officials do not believe
that more than $4,000 people Will file
for the Fort Peck land. Hence the
chances of drawing quarter section
in the Fort Peck reservation lottery"
are about four times as good as they
have been il previous government
land drawings. The actual value OF
this land is said by government agri
cultural experts to average about $25
an acre. However, the governments
appraisal for it's opening to white
settlement is only from $3.50 to 81 an
acre, thus making real prizes for those
who draw this land.
The drawing will take place in this
way. The names of all who file for
land will be placed in big box and
the envelopes drawn out one by one
and numbered, until enough envel-
opes are taken from the box to CORE
spond with the number of quarter
sections available-S,4O6. Those get
ting the early numbers will, of course.

according to the numbers drawn. Then

J0TTINGS OF
WORLD JOURNEY
The Legend of corregidor" in the
EARLY Days Of the Fl iars at
Manila, p. !.
THE POWER FOR JUSTICE
Chaplain Samuel J. Smith Doing Great
Work for the Soldier Boys
in the Islands.

There is very interesting legend
connected with this island and the
others that stand at the entrance to
Manila bay.
The story is called the Legend OF
Corregidor" and goes back to the early
days of the coming of the Friars.
One day horse came tearing down
the street which is now the Escolta,
the main thoroughfare of Manila,
bringing with him in great danger,
a num- A young friar but recently
arrived, saw the runaway. and with
great peril to himself, grasped the
frightened animal by the bride and
thus saved the life Of the young wo-
man. Their eyes met never to part
again." He got possession OF some
bad books that told of love and mar
riage and with these thoughts burn
ing in his brain he met the nun and
they agreed to run away, or rather to
row away. So they started out in
boat across the bay toward the en-
trance. At this time, as the legend
goes, there were no islands and they
landed at the opening out into the sea
on the main land to the north. Here
was little bario afterwards called
Marivelles, which name the village
holds today, in honor Of Mary, the
yelled nun. There lived at this place
a Corregidor-a corrector of evil-a
Justice of the peace. He performed
the marriage ceremony and prevailed
upon the young couple to remain and
start a religious work in the barlo.
This they consented to do and soon
fine church stood as testimony OF
their devotion.
The bishop had not ceased to search
for the missing couple, and one day
hearing about this work at MARVEL
les he fastened over and greatly sur
prised the guilty ones by suddenly ap-
nearing before them. After showing
their awful crime, he pronounced SEN
tence:
"You, Mona-nun-are to be rock
To the north out at sea, so that all the
ships coming in will see and hear or
vour crime, and you. Ell Fraile-Frlar
are to be a small rock within the
hay to the south so far removed from
each other that yau can never speak.
Then the bishop in stern tones called
for the corregidor, who came tremb-
iine-"You," said the Judge, are to
be an island Immediately at the enter
ing in to the bay so that you may
stand between Mona and Ell Fraile."
"Let me take my horse and carraboa,
nleaded the poor man. 81 will said
the bishop, 'but they will be placed
60 far from you they will be of no
service" Thus Carraboa stands out

at sea while the horse is rock within

at sea while the horse is rock within
the Bay and Corregidor is at the en-
trance.
Ell Fraiel is being cut down to the
form of battleship and strongly for
tilted. Mona stands out at sea on
whose summit is lighthouse and
thus it is, Ell Fraile, the man OF
strength, Mona, the woman OF light,
and Corregidor, the power for justice
in the orient. Surely it is power,
and let it be hoped, always for justice.
In the time of trouble her great
guns could speak death far out at
sea and her fine position makes it al
most impossible for an enemy to do
harm from the ocean.
The men are we'll housed in long
building which stands on the summit
made of solid concrete, said to be the
finest building of it's kind in the world.
The best and latest types OF gig guns
occupy advantageous positions on the
island, and the methods of cOmmuni-
cation to all parts of the fertilization
are uneXcelled.
Just now the thing that counts most
for the enjoyment and uplift of the
soldier boys is the work of Chaplain
Samuel J. Smith. A Britisher by
birth, an American by adoption, he is
peculiarly fitted to fill the high office
that is his. With stereopticon he en-
tertains, with regular religious serv-
ices he instructs, and with his tire
less personal visitations and deep
sympathy with the men he leads them
to higher and nobler plans of living
AS national chaplain for all the
Philippines he touches the various
posts for their good and mutual help
fulness. No one escapes his kindly
ministrations. The hundreds of con-
victs. who do much of the work on
the island, from Bilibed, have their
share of his time and energy.
AS we went in and out among the
soldiers we inquired as to the stand
ing of this man and universal praise
came from everyone.
Standing -four square" for every
thing good, he presents his high Ideals
in such happy, manly way, that they
win with saint and sinner for the bet
tering of ALL AS we walked up the
hill, the red and white discs were al
ready flashing their colors far out
at sea. The old lighthouse keeper
greeted us with smile and pointed
us to the stairway that led up to the
bridge where he had stood that night
by the side of the Spanish commander
when Dewey entered the bay. Were
you not frightened ALSO" Chaplain
Smith asked the old man. With
smile he replied, ooh no, l knew my
friends had come"
AS we left the lighthouse with it's
keeper, Chaplain Smith, with his char
acteristic enthusiasm for everything
with the men, said: "The
old man spoke the truth. He had
suffered much at the hands of the
Spanish commander in the breaking
up of his home and truly his friends
had come.'"

LITTLE SIOUX
SCALPS CHAMPS
Headed by Famous Chief Louie
Jacobsen, Who Had Denison Eat
ing Out Of His Hand.
MASSACRE NARROWLY AvERrED
CHIEF Louie Calls for Variance Over
Shungopavi's Decision on Fair
Ball in Fourth Inning.

The Denison Champs and the tribe
of Little Sioux hooked up in a battle
royal at the ball farm Thursday at
ternoOn, and when the massacre was
over the Little Sioux warriors had
scalped the champs and burned them
at the stake to the tune Of to 3.
The Little Sioux warriors We're
headed by the famous chief, Louie
Jacobsen, former Denison huller. and
the big chief had the champs eating
out in his hand in every inning, strik-
ing out sixteen and letting the champs
down with five hits, two of which
were of the scratch variety. The
champs seemed to be baffled at the
speed of the big chief and more than
once when they were within striking
splitter and it was all off with the
champs.
kilburg was on the firing line for
the champs and pitched a fair game,
considering that his arm was sore, and
he was unable to use any of his speed
Nick used an underhand curve ball
on the braves and had them breaking
their backs to locate the ball.
A massacre was narrowly averted
in the fourth inning when the Little
Sioux went on the warpath over the
umpire's decision on Thompson's hit
up the third base line Chief Louie
was the agitator and after holding
war dance around third and threaten
ing to scalp the jumps, the umpire
walked off the field and after ten
minute powwow the umpire returned
to the game and the pipe of peace
was smoked and the game proceeded.
The champs started the run getting
in the second inning on OttO's single
to center, passed ball at first, Col
Inns singled to right, scoring Barney,
Collins out at second on Richardson's
hit to first. Richardson was picked
going to second and Thompson struck
out.
Two more runs were registered in
that awful fourth by the champs. Otto
got base on balls, Collins hit to
pitcher and was safe on wild heave
to first, Otto taking third; Richards
hit to pitcher and was out at first, Col
Inns taking second; Thompson drew
a base on balls, Wolf hit to pitcher,
who gets Otto at plate, catcher tries
for a double at first on Wolf and
soaks him in the ribs, Collins scoring
and Thompson taking third; Wolf
safe at first Richards hit to short,
who made an awful miss of it, Thomp-
son scoring on the error. Kilburg hit
what looked like a clean single to
right, but Nick loafed on getting to
first and was thrown out. This end

CRAWFORD IN
FORTUNATE SPOT
Many Advantages Not Enjoyed by the
Southern Tier of Iowa Counties
Stands Drouth Better.
A BUMPER CROP THIS YEAR
Farmers of Crawford Should Hold
Their Lands at Present Prices
Good Crops, Higher Prices.

Splendid crops in this locality, while
other places in the state south and
east Of here, are suffering with a
Grouth, should go long ways, not
only toward keeping UP the price of
land in this section, but in alevating
it.
We have one advantage over the
land in southern Iowa, and that is in
the fact that we can stand drouth
TO much better advantage and in the
further fact, that we have more rain
part of the state. We have bumper
crop of small grain this year and per-
haps as large or a larger yield than
we have had for many years. The
corn crop is coming on in splendid
shape, Notwithstanding it would have
been better to have had little more
rain, still we have had enough con-
sidering the condition of the soil to
insure an excellent crop. of corn
Northern Iowa is peculiarly fortunate
this year in the splendid corn crop
which it will gather In travelling
over the country it is rare thing
to find better prospect for 4 good
yield of corn, both in quantity and
quality, than can be found here and
north of here. 1t is the misfortune of
people living in southern Nebraska,
Kansas and parts Of Missouri that the
corn crop is largely a failure. but it is
our good fortune because the short
age of corn in these localities will en-
nance the price of the crop here.
We predict that farmers will be sell
ing their crop of corn this year at
prices above zoe per bushel. We
would not be surprised even at much
higher price. Our advice to farmers in
Crawford county is to hold on to their
lands at present prices. because the
good crops here will !certainly advance
the price of our lands.

ed the scoring for the champs and the
big chief was never in very great
danger any more throughout the rest
of the combat.
The Sioux warriors put one run
over in the fourth on single. three
errors by the champs and the chiefs
long fly to left. Another run was
registered in the fifth on base on
balls, two singles and couple of
outs, and in the sixth and seventh
they managed to register one run each
inning on hard hitting and errors by
the champs.
The champs had an awful day on
their fielding. making about seven err
rors, but as the diamond was in a
miserable condition the fielding might
have been worse than it was.

PRESIDENT
APPROVES
DISSOLUTION
Of the Union Pacific Mercer
as Directed by the
Supreme Court
Position Taken to Keep The
Combination Out Of Re-
CeiverS' Hands

Washington, June 2S.-President
Wilson tonight approved the plan ne
gotiated by Attorney General Mickey
nolds and railroad attorneys for the
dissolution of the Union Pacific merg-
er under the Sherman antitrust law,
as directed by the supreme court OF
the United States, so as to avoid
receivership for the great combina-
ton. ~
G. Carroll Todd, special assistant
to the attorney general, left tonight
for st. Paul to represent the govern
ment and announce it's approval OF
the proposal when it is presented to
the United States court there Mon
day He was accompanied by Fl. w.
Clarke of counsel for the railroad,
who will submit the plan to the court.
The government will qualify its dp-
proval, it is said, by asking the court
to grant a reasonable time within
which the attorney general may make
objections to the proposal If further
study develops that it does not meet
the requirements of the Sherman law
in all its aspects.
This latest attempt of the many
made to dismember the combination
provides for the disposition Of the ell
tire $126,000,0OO of southern Pacific
stock held by the Union Pacific. The
new plan is somewhat similar to the
one proposed and submitted to the
court month ago But it is said to
be more definite in form and sur.
rounded by greater safeguards to pre-.
vent the Southern Pacific stock from
going to the Union Pacific share
holders or remaining under the con-
troll of the Union Pacific railroad for
an unlimited time.
Under the supreme courts mandate
the plan must be presented to the
judges of the United States court for
the Eighth circuit by July l, although
there is no limit of time within which
thu court must enter the decree of
dissolution.

They then presented their petition
