New York, N. Y.-The Casino at
Havana, owned by Charles A. Stone
ham and John j. McGraw, has as
pirations to become not only the most
luxurious palace Of chance on this
side of the Atlantic, but the finest any
where, according to it's manager, Louis
A. Morello, who has arrived here.
Even Monte Carlo will seem pallid
alongside the gorgeousness of the
Casino, now refitting for next season.
Morello declared.
Thousands of dollars are being put
into the extended building. Only four
roulette wheels whirled last year; this
season there will be ~, and the specu-
lative Cuban and American, North and
South, will be able to indulge his
sporting talent in the European game
of 30-40, which Morello calls "some
game"
The Casino dining room, which has
a seating capacity of 400, will have
room next season for 600. Select par.
ties who prefer to lose money to folks
they know, or win it, as the case may
be will have eight decorative rooms tc
enjoy themselves in beyond the vision

Sales
HOOLSPLENTIF
BY Rev. E. E. Saunders

by Rev. Il. Il. Saunders
The attention Of home seekers is
being attracted at the present time
to the Devils Lake Indian reserva-
tion." The prices recently paid by
farmers who have resided in the vi
cinity, is sufficient evidence of their
appreciation of the value Of the n
tracts that e recently offered for
sale and "bid in" at the Indian agen-
cy at Fort Totten.
One piece of 1897 acres neal Shey-
enne, was bought by o. E. Erickson
of Sheyenne, for $52 per acre, Byron
Corrick of Oberon, paid $45 per acre
for another piece, while w. C. Schaf-
ner Of Oberon, who bid $17 per acre
for a piece of swamp land that was
appraised at $12 per acre found that
his bid was rejected by the owner of
the land.
Was Opened to Settlers 1904
The reservation was opened to
homesteaders at $3.50 per acre in
1904, through the efforts of Congress-
man Thomas F. Marshall, in coop
GRAFTON with Senator H. C.. Hansbor-
ough. Among those who were the
first settlers, whom the writer visited
recently were the Tomlinsons. Mrs
Joseph Tomlinson, with her husband
came to Hunter, in 1883 and resided
on a homestead, then lmoved to Buff
falo, Cass county, and bought a farm
for SIS per acre.
Later, going to Devils Lake, Mrs
