FARM LAND SALE

Golden Opportunity for Investors and
Home Seekers.
The IDdian Department is again
Offering a large tract of land for
sale, on the Cheyenne River Res
ervation, under the most liberal
terms and prices ever offered be-
fore, bids to be opened at Chey-
enne Agency S d, opposite Forest
City, on August 18th.
We quote as follows from the
Timber Lake Tribune regarding
these lands: 1--WE believe we are
doing our readers an especial favor
in calling attention to this deter
mined effort of the Indian Office to
place before the investing public a
large list of Indian lands on terms
and at prices that really compete
with former Indian lands that are
open to homestead entry.
elm this list can be found lands
in almost any section of the Res
ervation and convenient to any of
the various towns, and in various
sized tracts. Some of these lands
are grazing lands, while much of
it is as fine farming land as can
be found. Grazing lands can be
had at from 81 to $3.50 per acre,
while farming lands range from
about S6 to $l5 per acre. The
terms of sale are most lib
eral, being 25 per cent down, and
the balance in three equal pay
ments payable in two, four and six
years, drawing six per cent inter
est.
''ln purchasing these lands the
investor secures almost the same
terms as in homesteading, while it
is not necessary for him to reside
upon or even improve the land.
and he can buy as much as he
likes. This is the opportunity the
ordinary investor has been looking
for, and the prices and terms are
the most liberal eyer offered in
this section.
s'If possible make personal in
spection of such tracts as may in
terest you in any particular locali-
ty. or if unable, have some reliable
party make report to you, then
comply with the advertised terms
of the sale. The former red tape
measures of the Indian Office have
been modified, SD that there is now
only the ordinary delay in awards
and issue of patents"
This move means as much to
Forest City and Cheyenne Agency
as it does to other towns situated
on the Reservation. Many of the
tracts lie but a short distance from
Forest City, while all of them are
easily accessible from the C&NW
Ry at Gettysburg. The Indians
haye surplus of lands and it is
the policy of the department to re.
duce these holdings and with the
money SO obtained to purchase
live stock and farm machinery tc
encourage farming operations or
their reduced holdings.
We understand the department,
stands ready to offer other large
lists for sale on the same liberia
terms if approval is given the
Ipresent sale by liberal buying.

HOUSEBOAT AGAIN
Family of Nine Bound for East
Coast of Florida.

Other Items of Interest Respecting the
Much. .MaIigned Old Muddy.
Forest City people were taken
by surprise last Friday evening at
7:1O o'clock to see another house
boat hove in sight from around the
point, that seemed to be going at
the rate of ten miles or more an
hour. 1t was only few minutes
thereafter that it tied up at Eidams
landing and its captain announced
that he was going to stay over
night. The craft which was
named Ruth Clarno," proved to
be another voyageur bound for
the east coast of Florida, and be-
sides being stout and we'll fur
nished was fitted up with 25hp
"Joy Special gasoline engine.
The dimensions of the boat were
25x67 ft, built with three-inch
plank, machinery ard living rooms
all under one roof, a large wheel
and pilot wheel and pilot house on
top, and seemed plenty strong
enough to make the voyage thru
the gulf of Mexico, if anything of
its size could. The hull and en-
CINE were formerly used in the
ferry business at Garrison, No-Da-
kota, from which point the boat
started on Friday June ii. The
boat had made 208 miles of this
distance in % hours of running
time. A unique feature of its
load was three tons of potatoes,
which had been purchased to serve
as 'ballast'ain place Of sand.
The owners name was Capt. p.
A. Hill, whose family consisted of
wife and seven children, another
gentleman, Mr.. +. b. Graler, act
ing as engineer, and it was Mr..
Hill's first experience as manager
of boat. Their destination was
Palmbeach, Florida, where the
Capt. owns thirty acres of land.
Before leaving here the boat
visited the Agency side of the
river, with number of town peo-
pie on board, and a tour of the
new Hospital and school buildings
was made, a number of photo
graphic views being taken. after
which the boat proceeded on its
journey again. They reported
that they passed another house
boat in process of construction in
the vicinity of Bismark, but did
not learn it's destination or object.
Seems like the Old Muddy is
actually getting tame enough to be
the favorite route for Montana and
No-Dakota people to migrate to
Florida.

Sunday afternoon the snagboat
Mandan also passed down the river
from some point in Montana, but
kept on going, so there was no
opportunity to get any inforina-
tion as to its destination. The
presumption is that it was going
to Pierre or Sioux City ON special
orders from Washington.

Methodist Church Notes.

In observance of Independence day
the church was tastefully and profuse-
ly decorated with the ''Stars and
Stripes, the general verdict being one
of praise and enjoyment of the pleas
ing arrangement. At the morning
service an earnest sermon by the pas
tor upon Goods Hand in American
History and the Duties of Today, was
heard with close attention. The even
ing service consisted of an inspiring
patriotic program rendered by Miss
Lila Clifford and the choir, the former
effectively rendered patriotic readings
fairly capturing the large audience and
the latter fully sustaining the reputa-
ton already achieved by this choir for
excellent taste and ability in music and
song.

A man near MELVILLE lost his Ford
under very peculiar circumstances. He
left the car standing in front of store
while he went in to do some trading.
In the meantime a farmer came along
and tied dog to the car. The dog,
thinking some one had tied a tin can on
his tail, started for home on the run.
The car was located four miles from
town and except FOR sore spot on the
dogs tail everything was all right.

Mishap at the GAINESVILLE Auto Races.

A. G. PARCEL of Elgin won the 100
mile auto race at GAINESVILLE on Monday
in Buick car. His time was 2:09:32.
Fred Herman of Chicago was second.
The race was slow, the drivers fearing
the short turns which caused accidents
in practice runs. Arthur Bergstrom,
Rockford driver, with Marion car, is
at Mercy hospital as result of injuries
received in the morning when his car
toppled over into the ditch, turning
over three times He was driving
alone, his brother having left the car
that lap to time the machine. H. A.
Schults of Albany won the Is mile mo-
torcycle race, averaging 56.9 miles per
hour.
Bergstrom made the first half of the
turn safely and was turning his ma
chine onto the back stretch while hug
ging" the inside of the track. The car
suddenly skidded into the inside of the
ditch, the driver turning his wheel
sharply to escape striking one OF the
drain wells. AS he twisted the wheel
the machine skidded into the bank and
in an instant plunged over the bank
and down the sharp drop of five feet.
The car rolled over twice before Berg
strom was thrown from his seat. He
was thrown loose from behind the
wheel and the machine turned over the
third time. How he escaped having
his chest crushed during the somer-
saults is unexplained.

One has only to refer to two items
published in this issue to base con-
clusion that education is keeping pace
at every turn with the high cost of liv-
ing. The first is the mention that rs
years ago the amount voted at the an

second item is the appropriation voted

schools in Edgerton the coming year.
Thus while the population of our city
in the meantime has increased scarcely
so per cent, our expenses for public
schools have advanced nearly 700 per
cent. Notwithstanding our boast of
having the finest high school building
in the state, it must be admitted we
are going some.

From the New York Sun.
Budapest - For more than ioul
months the Hungarian troops have
been fighting in Servia. They had to
face there an ~exasperted enemy and
in-surmountable difficulties. rocky
mountains and field fortiflcations block
Ing the way of advance. At last. how
ever. ingenuity has discovered a means
OF d~islodging the Servians from their.
strong positions. Sand filled beer bar
rels as rolling trenches and mobile pro-
lection against the enemy are the la
test surprise of the war.
The Japanese In their war against
Russia carried with them sandbags
which advancing infantrymen pushed
before them for protectlon against the
bullets Of rifles or machine guns, The
beer barrel this purpose much
better. al it can be rolled forward with
comparative ease and convenience.
The "Baka," that is. the Hungarian
infantryman. fills the barrel with sand.
grave or broker stones USED for road
making. Barrels thus filled are I'm
penetrable to bullets. The men on the
firing line crawl ahead and roll the
barrels with their neads. Once at the
position assigned to them they stand
the barrels up and fire from behind or
between them.
This rolling trench proved a signal
success In Servia. It not only dimin-
ished h losses in dead and wounded.
but owing to its mobility made quicker
progress possible.

There was no sign of the. enemy to

Behind the red line of earth lay the
British each man with his rifle cuddled
