TO AID WESTERN
SETTLERS


A favorable report on a bill that
viii bring relief to many people in
the vicinity Of government reclama-
ton projects in the West has been
made by Republican Representative
Nicholas j. Sinnott Of Oregon. from
the committee on public lands. In
der the present law, before a recla-
nation project is commenced, the
lands which it Will probably occupy
are withdrawn from entry. On every
project many sections of land are
thus held, only a part of which actu-
ally will be reclaimed. The bill which
Mr.. Sinnott has reported would per-
NIT desert-land entries on such land
believed 10 be non-irrigable," pro-
vided that if it shall be found later
to be irrigable it shall fall within the
provisions Of the reclamation act.
The bill also provides that if the
United States finds it necessary 10
use such lands for reclamation pur-
poses it may do so without compen-
sation to the entryman. While Mr..
Sinnott has fully protected the in
terests of the government, this bill,
if passed, would make possible the
cultivation of much land in the West
heretofore forbidden to settlers.

of one of the single leaf calendars as
possible. Paste on sheet of white
note paper leafiet from the calendar
bearing the date on which the party
Is to be held. Below this write:

St. Paul, Aug. 31.-Orders for a

ment is not reached.
Boilermakers employed in round
houses and shops where the men are
on duty all the time are scheduled to

employed in other shops are to leave
their work at closing time Saturday.
The union sought to have establish

the shops, substituting increased pay
in accordance with a standard scale
and the opportunity for workers to be-
come skilled workmen in other
branches of the trade.
The standard rate of wages sought
involves an increase Of perhaps Is
per cent, Mr.. Brown stated.

FOOTBALL TEAM
Lyle Helmky Will
be the Only Veteran on
the Team.

Despite the fact that, with the ex-
ception Of Captain Lyle Helmkay, the
University of North Dakota football
squad lost every first string man, the
schedule, one Of the best in years, will
be carried out in Its entirety, Physical
Director F. L. Thompson announced

There is a possibility that Andy Gill,
who has successfully coached the
squad for three years, will be lost, as
he has been drafted in the first quota.
At present he is IN Chicago, but will
return here about the middle OF Sep
TENDER.
Prospects for a winning team are
good, Mr.. Thompson said, despite the
loss Of all the regulars. There are an
unusually large number of freshmen

several Of them were anon the best
players in high school circles last year.
Added to these are the men who

Marquette University, at Milwaukee,

With the exception Of Helmkay, all
of last years regulars have enlisted
for the war. Melvin Johnson and
Dryden, two Of the best ends the uni
versity has had, were depended upon
for this year, but now are doing fed
eral service, the former in the second
officers training camp at Fort SHELL
ing. Others who have enlisted are
Fingarson, right tackle, now a second
lieutenant in the officers reserve; Will
Boyce, back field man; Fred Mann,
the big center; Mccarthy, the speedy
quarterback; Taylor, one Of the
strongest guards. the university team
has had in years. Boyd, quarterback;
Chidlaw, a speedy. halfback; Douglas
Mckay, fullback; Cameron Mckay, a
strong lineman; Schultz. a guard.
