The purchaser must make a cash pay ment of $1 an acre, and pay yearly in stallments of 75 cents per acre until the land is paid for. After a survey of the Crow reservation is completed the lands there will be sold under tho lottery plan. The survey work may require several months. The Devil's Lake reservation lands also will be sold by lottery. When the lands in Oregon on the Gtande Konde reservation are sold, a different method will be followed. There the lands will go to the highest bidders, congress stipulating that no bid of less than SI an acre shall be accepted. In disposing of these Indian lands the tribes are well cared for. The Indians are not to be driven off nor deprived of their homes. The lands to be sold rep resent really the surplus, and are offered by the government only after the In dians have been given an allotment. To Inveslljrate Alaska. i:iect Wlilie Chief. Ilonios for ;().()(() io le Opened in a Short Time. up Washington, June 10. Homes for 11,000 families, or 58,000 individuals, will bo offered by the government with in the next few weeks. Some of these will be sold to the highest bidder, but most of them can be obtained at if 4 an acre or less. Almost 2,000,000 acres of laud ate in volved, 250,000 acres being in Minneso ta, on the Red Lake reservation, 382, 000 acres in South Dakota, on the Rose bud reservation, 88,000 in North Dako ta, on the Devil's Lake reservation, 115,000 acres in Montana, on the Crow reservation, and 27, COO acres in Oregon, on the Grand Konde reservation. In opening these reservations a new plan has been adopted. Heretofore the government has first purchased reser vation lands from the Indians and then offered them to the public. Now, however, the ownership of the lands will remain with the Indians. The government will conduct and direct the sales and the proceeds will be turned into the treasury to the credit of the representative tribes to be disbursed to them in small annuities, so it will do them the most good. j The lands soon to be sold embrace valuable agricultural and timber tracts and may be had by the homesteaders for a smnll fraction of their real value. Congress, profiting by experience, wise ly has placed a limit of $4 an acre on the land in two of the reservations to protect the Indians from imposition, such as the government itself has suf fered under the old land laws. The land in the Red Lake reservation will be sold at public auction to the highest bidder the sale to commence June 20. No bid of less than .$4 an acre can be considered.

Cards bearing numbers cor responding with the different registration certificates issued will be placed in a lottery wheel and the applicants will be allowed to select their land in the order ol drawing. The lottery plan of deter mining the order of selection wae tried with much success when the govern rnent lands in Oklahoma were thrown open to settlement.

The purpose of the gathering was to discuss matters which have direct bear ing upon the interesrs ol the Indians, bs a tribe and as individuals, says the liar ney County News. A large number of persons went out from town to attend the pow-wow as some Indians had given news of the occasion and had invited the whites to be present. The speeches made were in the line of moral lectures, calling the attention of the waywaid Piutes to the troubles and iniquities of the paths which do not lie along the lines of sobriety, industry and general moral rectitude of an order that would capture gold medals and tilings similar. ihe Indian cLiet, icier leman, wrs in from his ranch, in the valley, and gave his brethren some good sound pai- vice in the matter of education and ot working upon and improving the lands which had been allotted to them. Loire, a chief counseller of the tiibe, also gave advice of the same nature. Dr. Marsdeu, w ho has mastered tl e Piute language, gave them a lecture : their own tongue, which was well re ceived and hitrhly complimented by the Indians. At a council following the meeting the subject of electing a white chief was con sidered, and Dr. Marsden was chosen to act in that capacit'. He has been formally notified thereof, and has been by the tribe surnamed, 'The Modern Winnemucca." When he inquired of the notification committee to learn what duties attached to the office of white chief, his portfolio was made clear to him by the announcement, "You are tha boss." fJalf fare permits are issued by the railroads covering the territory west of Chicago and ot.
