DESCRIPTION OF INDEMNITY
SELECTIONS FILED ON ny N. r.

Taking choice land within the Gus
ter national forest in this county as
indemnity selections. the Northern Pa
cific Railroad company has laid claim
to 29,480 acres. Under the original
land grant the railroad company was
cedede every other section to a distance
of 50 miles from the railroad and in
many instances these sections were
found tc have been settled upon. In
compensation for these tracts the rail-
road company was given the privilege
Of filing upon government land else
where. and it was only the 18th Of
January this year that these lieu
claims were filed on the Custer forest.
The selections include 14.117 acres in
ttowynship "ya 3 south ct range 40 east; It;
range ~ east. and 10.O79 acres in town
ship south. range IS east. 1t is said
the forestry department is resisting
the selections by the railroad company
on the ground that the land is in an
area appropriated and set aside by
the, government. There has been no
decision and the matter is now pend.
ing in the interior department at
Washington.

SCENERY MARRIED BY SIGNS
ures to Put Stop to Crow
ing Nuisance.

Everywhere the motorist travels the
natural beautiful scenery is married
by glaring signs, not only small
boards but immense structures often
hundred feet or more In length and
twenty or more feet In height.
Just at bend In the road where
the tourist expects to have a fine
view sweeping over broad valley the
scene Is completely cut off by mon.
strous and offensive structure covered
with tiaring advertisement.
At some points both sides of the
road will be lined with these unsightly
and ugly advertising walls.
In England the disfguring of fences.
buildings and other places with signs
Is prevented by law on the ground that
the good taste of the people is offend
ed and the landscape disfigured.
Some of the worst offenders are
manufacturers who are interested In
the development of motoring They
have boarded up the roadways along
the whole eastern part Of the United
States. much to the annoyance of
motorists and the Disagreement Of the
