Ownership o f Land.
Dallas, S. D., Oct. IS.— It is esti­
mated that 1,000 land-seekers who
have come to Dallas and Gregory
have lost their money at gaming ta­
bles and are “broke." Many morp
who have lost all their ready cash
have been forced to telegraph for
money.
Nearly 60,000 persons have regis­
tered at these two points already and
nearly as many more are expected be­
fore the period o f registration closes.
Hundreds return as quick as they have
registered, but thousands have re­
mained for the drawing.
Gamblers have operated their games
without restraint and are said to have
made remarkable winnings. They run
pell mell 24 hours a day, with the
games as strong at daybreak as when
the sun sets.
T o be broke in this country means
something to a man, because he is
without friends, generally, and at
a time when it is not easy to make
new ones. Every outgoing train car­
ries many men who have lost their
money and risk their lives riding on
brake beams.
N o land opening has ever brought
more people, and they all come with
money. Those who have the gam­
bling spirit stick to the roulette and
faro tables, with the result that sev­
eral hundred are living on charity
until they can get out ot the country.
Berlin, Oct. II.—An international
conference will be summoned in the
near future to regulate the future of
Spitsbergen, and it is expected that
delegates will attend from Great Brit­
ain, the United States, France, Ruasia,
Germany, Sweden and Norway. The
Norwegian government, which has
taken the initiative in proposing the
conference, desires to safeguard the'
rights of the Norwegian fishermen
who work along the coasts of Spits­
bergen by an international agreement.
The
Norwegian fishermen and
huntsmen were for a long time undis­
puted masters of Spitsbergen and
enjoyed unlimited freedom in follow­
ing their occupations. Recently, how­
ever, two mining companies, one
financed by British and Norwegian
capital and the other financed by
American and Norwegian capital,
have begun operations in Advent Bay
and both companies have annexed
enormous areas of land, and have
prohibited Norwegian fishermen and
huntsmen from trespassing on these
territories. It is expected that Nor­
way will lay claim to the possession
of Spitzbergen by virtue of the prior
rights of Norwegian fishermen and
huntsmen, but in this case it is ex­
pected that Sweden will raise a coun­
ter claim on the ground that Swedish
scientific
expeditions
have
been
mainly instrumental in opening Spitz­
bergen to the outside world.

RECLAIMING ARID LANO.
Hood River Apple Growers* Union
Disposes o f Crop.
Hood Biver.—By disposing of SO ears
of Spitaenbergs last week the directors
of the Hood Biver Apple Growers’
union have successfully marketed two-
thirds of the erop which will be han­
dled by them this year. The gpples
sold are the same sixes that last year
made the world’s record for high
prices, and are said by the directors
to have been again sold this year at
the union’s own figure. The purchasers
are the Steinhart ft Kelley eompaay of
New York, who bought 80 ears in the
first deal, getting all the Newtown*,
and for which it is said they have since
been offered a bonus of $10,000 to turn
over to another firm and have refused
to do so.
The deal was made with the Stein-
hart ft Kelley people by mail, after a
representative of the firm who was
here some time ago reached New York,
and includes all the four-tier Spit/.en-
berga and larger, the four and one-half
tier having been bought by them in a
previo!
d«
revious deal.
Altogether, the union
has no ow sold
•o 140 ears of apples St its
own figu: res,
re the balance o f its part
is Hood
H<
of the
Biver erop amounting to
about 60. ears.
Its disposal of the high prieed Spitz-
enbergs has been watehed with interest
by buyers, who have claimed that they
would not be sold to one firm this year,
and were waiting to tee them split up
and sold in small lots to various firm«
to supply their faney trade in the big
eastern cities. Heretofore the Stein
hart ft Kelley company has bought its
Hood Biver Spitzenbergs in this way,
but this year will be the seller to other
firms instead of the purchaser.
Winter apple picking commenced
Monday, and the largest packing tfens
which have ever been put in the field
here will commence packing the vfruit
for shipment this week.
Irrigation for 0 0 Acres o f Klamath
Foothill Land.
Klamath Falla.—Fred Mell see will
put in a pumping plant to irrigate 90
acres of land on the foothills ess. of
this eity. This land, with 8,000 other
scree, ia above the government canal,
and ia practically worthless, as not a
drop of water can be put on it. With
irrigation it will be the finest fruit
land in the valley, worth over $200 ap
acre.
-
The government has surveyed a ditch
through this hill land, to be used after
its pumping plant is established. Mr.
Melhase will use this survey and later
turn his plant over to the government.
