GOVERNMENT TO Open .
10000 ACRES IN N. D.
Drawings for Land in Fort Berthold
Reservation Will Begin
November 4.

Secretary of the Interior Franklin T.
Lane has announced the immediate OPEN
ing by the government to homestead set
uement of 10000 acres contained in the
Fort Berthold. N. Oak. Indian Reserva-
ton. Registrations by prospective home
steaders will take place at Minot n
Oak, October IS to 80. Drawings will
commence at Minot. November 4.
These lands at the time of the original
opening of the Fort Berthold Reserva-
ton In 1911 were reserved by the gov
ernment because of the supposed pres
ence of considerable coal deposits. but
the Department of the Interior now has
decided to open the lands to surface
homesteading. the only reservation being
that the title to any coal existing therein
shall remain with the government for
the benefit of the Indians of the Fort
Berthold district. This arrangement in
sures the development by the home
steader of a desirable agricultural sec
tion OF North Dakota.
The Fort Berthold lands lie in Montrail
and Mclean counties. are reached from
the city of AIinot. and include lands
designated by the government as first
class agricultural lands. second-class
agricultural lands, and grazing lands.
and are adapted to the growing of hard
wheat. barley. alfalfa. potatoes. ana
other hardy vegetables.
Because of the favorable conditions
this opening and the rapidly
opportunities for homestead
ing on government domain. it is expected
that the registrations will be numerous.

C. J. Cockeler Says Belief in

Prosperity.
HEAVY TRADING COMING
J. V. Jordan Thinks Capital Will
Have Biggest Buying Season in
the Past Two Years.

The general optimism of Washington
business men oxer the business outlook
for the coming winter is regarded az the
most encoura ging sign of the times, in
the view of Chris J. Gockeler, secretary
of the Board of Trade, who yesterday
commended The Herald heartily for its
enterprise in obtaining the views of local
business men first hand.
II have been greatly interested in the
interviews of Washington business men
which The Herald has been obtaining" {"
declared Mr.. Gockeler. "particularly in
view of the universal optimism which
has been shown. Just as 1t Is true that
nothing succeeds like success so moth
ing brings good times more quickly than
an intelligent belief that good times are
due.
81 have found local business men con-
fdently awaiting return to normal busi-
ness conditions or better for the late
fall and winter. OF course. the weather
of the last two weeks has been some
thing of setback. but it has not seemed
to dampen the generally optimistic feel
ing. | think with the first snappy fall
weather. buying will commence on a
more general scale than for at least two
years past. and the business activities
which naturally come with the winter
and the official season. certainly will
surpass the last two years"
Record Trading Is Due.
Il think We have good reason to ex-
pect good business this winter in WASH
ington.' declared Joseph V Jordan,
manager of the New Richmond Hotel. who
recently returned from summer at
Newport. r. /. "Better business con-
ditions. more money in circulation among
all people. and cheerful expectation that
good times are returning. We're very
apparent in the North this summer not
because of local conditions. but as = a
reflection of the general feeling through
the country.
washington always reflects the senti-
ment of the country in this respect. and
this winter, with good social season.
with great political activity all sides
in anticipation of the coming Presden-

PRESIDENTS PLUNGE
IN COTTON IS ENDED
Three Bales Bought by Wilson Have

President Wilson's adventure in cotton
has come to an end. A Year ago in the
midst Of the Buy a-bale of-cotton' eX-
citement. he sought TO encourag ge the cot
ton-growers of the South by buying three
bales of the staple One of these bales
was bought in Texas, one in Georgia, and
one in Oklahoma. Contrary to common
report, the cotton was never shipped to
the National Capital. and therefore was
not stored in the White House ba sement.
II remained in the warehouses of the
South until arrangements were made for
its sale
Some time ago one bale was turned
over by the President to a cotton cele-
hration in New York State which sold it
at auction and made a handsome profit.
The President did not receive any of tn"
money from this sale. In other words.
the bal" was Il clear gift to the orGaniza-
tion that disposed of 1t. Another bale
was disposed of in Oklahoma. through
Senators Owen and Gore. with the un-
Outstanding that the proceeds from 1t
would 20 to some charity. the cha rity to

the money on n Masonic home in Ok

The third bale was sold by the President
at ~ cents a pound. the price he paid
for the three bales. He held on to this
third hal" a good while. but when one
day telegram came from the ware

cotton off his hands at the price he paid
for it. he answered in the affirmative.
