NOTHING DOING IN
GOVERNMENT LOTTERIES
No Government Reservations to Re
Opened This Year Says the
Interior IlepHrtiiicnt.
A special from Washington says
that there will be no government
treasure box of public lands opened
for the land hungry of America this
year. This is asserted definitely by
the authorities of the land and In
dian offices at Washington, and is
a blow to the scheme of many who
had hoped to take part in govern
ment lotteries for valuable reserva
tion farms.
The outcome Is unpleasant also
for several people who have been in
dustriously advertising the lands of
the Yakima reservation, located In
the state of "Washington, and offer
ing to sell information about them.
Activity of this kind has resulted in
drastic action by the federal land of
fice. The inspectors' division of the
post office department has been ask
ed to keep this class of advertising
out of the malls and to prosecute
firms engaged in misleading Innocent
land seekers in connection with the
Yakima reservation opening.
It has been advertised that 1.000,
000 acres would be open to entry at
Yakima. As a matter of fact, the
government has no lands to sell
there, and no other reservations
ready to put on the market. It has
eight valuable reservations under
process of preparation, three of them
under authority of the congress
which has just adjourned. It has a
choice assortment of town lots !n
South Dakota and Idaho, which it
will sell to the highest bidder, and ailn& allotments of from 160 to 640

muauie parcel or rarmlng land,arre8 pacn: and when all have been

also to be auctioned off in tracts of,be sm& comfort for the white set-
eighty acres.
But of the thrilling government
lotteries, such as were held In four
states last, year, there are to be none
until 1911. The Yakima reservation,
near the southern edge of the state
of Washington, was the only one In
which a public drawing was expect
ed this year. It has been found now
that the claims selected by the In
dians have exhausted all the good
lands in the reserve. The Indians
have become good enough farmers
to pick their lands with care; and
the ground they have left for the
white man is not worth a "hill of
beans," according to the men who
are appraising and classifying the
property for public disposal.
"There is nothing in this reserva
tion which would justify bringing
the people here for the purpose of
registration," says the chairman of
the Yakima Appraising commission,
In a report to the land office. "After

Major McLaughlin has been the pion
eer of nearly all land openings, while
Judge J. W. Witten of the federal
land office at Washington has been
the final figure on the scene, the
presiding genius at all lotteries and
the wlelder of the hammer at all auc-
tion sales.
The reservations now being pre-,
pared for opening next year, with
their approximate areas, are as fol-

North Dakota Fort
850,000 acres.
South Dakota Rosebud, 850,000
acres; Pine Ridge, 800,000.
With deductions made from these
figures for allotments to the Indians,
it is expected that the amounts to be
offered to the public in the respec
tive areas will be about as follows:
Blackfeet, 450,000 acres; Fort
Peck, 1,000,000; Colville, 1,000,000;
Fort Berthold, 300,000; Rosebud,
500,000; Pine Ridge, practically
nothing.

The Indians on the Fort Berthold ;
reservation In North Dakota have
succeeded in squeezing an addition
al 125,000 acres of land out of Uncle
Sam, cutting down to that extent the
amount that will be offered to the
public. The allotments were all fin
ished there when congress passed Its
bill a few weeks ago, authorizing the
opening of part of the reservation to
settlement. This bill gave each In
dian an additional quarter section,
and the government agents must par
cel out as much more In homesteads
to the Indians as they had already
given them.

So acute is the distress among the

"Strikes" to Re Investigated.
So serious does General Maus con
sider the condition of those in Idita-

caused chiefly by the false reports
sent out. thnt he Intend m w
in the way of accommodations.
False Reports Are Great Wrong.
"Poor and scanty meals cost f 1.50.
Many there are In absolute destitute
condition. They can not secure em
ployment, for there In none for them.
I will be greatly surprised if a large
number are not taken out hefore the
.winter is over by the government, or
other charitable means.
"I consider it a great wrong for
erroneous and exaggerated reports of
great strikes to be sent out, attracting
thousands of persons, who find, to
their sorrow, that there Is little gold
to be had.
"On the way to Idltarod I saw hun
dreds going who had little of any
thing. When they reached Idltarod
they could get no work and practical
ly became public charges. T venture
to say there will be no more than
$1 "0,000 taken out of Idltarod this
year, and this Is an Insignificant
amount for that number of persons.
Register Should Re Kept.
"I Intend to have every report that
comes out of Alaska by the military
telegraph lines Investigated in order
to have the true facts stated. False
reports hurt Alaska and they should
not be made. They hurt the people
there and cause embarrassment.
Many old miners seem to have been
bitten by this report of the richness
of Tdltarod.
"The government should keep some
register and record of all who go in-
,to Alaska. Many go Into country who
never come out. One sad example is
that of Admiral Rogers' son, who has
been lost. All who go in should be
required to register. Canada does
much better than we do along this
line, and we should follow her ex
ample." Don't Want Molly-Coddle Sort.
A dispatch from North Yakima
says that Mrs. Chas. Gibson, the wife
of the pnstor of 1he First Methodist,
church of that city, received a round
of applause at prayer meeting Inst
week for her bold declaration that
she had no use for the "molly
coddle" sort of religion which takes
Its owner off In a corner some where,
there to exercise it alone, but that
she believed In the fighting variety,
which can mingle with the crowd.
The statement followed some re
marks by the "pillars of the thurth"
to the effect that they had spent a
quiet Fourth, away from the prize
fighters, gamblers and horse-ne ers.

the Fourth fif July celebration, which

WASHINGTON STATE
SENATORIAL FIGHT
Secretary llallinner Involved in the
Contest Calls ToiiHlexter a
Demagogue.
The state of Washington Is to have
one of the most spirited United
States senatorial campaigns ever
waged In its borders and the fight
has already commenced with Con
gressman Miles Polndexter, of Spok
ane; John L. Wilson, former senator
and owner of the Post-Intelllgencer,
of Seattle; Judge John E. Hum
phreys, of Seattle, and Judge Thomas
Burke and James M. Ashton, of Ta
coma, as candidates. The campaign
has resolved Itself into a free-for-all
affair, to be fought out in the prim
aries next August. The primary law
In Washington Is complicated. Elec
tors are permitted to indicate a first
and second choice. If no candidate
receives 40 per cent of the jlrst choice
votes cast, It then becomes necessary
to add the first and second choice
votes, the candidate getting the
highest number of the combination
votes being declared the winner.
"Mr. Wilson, formerly a resident
of Spokane, was making a runaway
race of It," said a student of politics
of Spokane, "but the Roosevelt
Poindexter conference at Oyster Bay j
and the arrival of Mr. Polndexter In
Spokane has changed things. Mr.
Polndexter undoubtedly will make
the most of his talk with Colonel
Roosevelt. Another thing is that
Mr. Poindexter has been almost as
persistent a fighter against Speaker
Cannon as he has been against Rich
ard Balllnger, secretary of the Inter
ior, who is also a Washington man.
The conservation question has been
Injected Into the campaign. Mr. Wil
liams favors conservation, but by the
state rather than by the federal gov
ernment. Mr. Polndexter has an
nounced repeatedly that he favors
conservation as expounded by Gifford
Pinchot and has attacked Mr. Bnl
llnger on the ground that he is not
a conservationist at heart.
"Mr. Balllnger, who Is now In the
west, has denounced Mr. Polndexter
as a demagogue and a socialist. He
also says that not so many years ago,
when Mr. Polndexter lived in Ten
nessee, he was Identified with the
democratic party and did not become
a republican until he settled In Wash
ington." Mr. Polndexter was elected to con
gress on an anti-Cannon platform,
succeeding Wesley L. Jones, of North
Yakima, now a senator. He has been
most, pronounced in denouncing
Speaker Cannon's methods. He was
formerly judge of the Spokane coun
ty superior court, also prosecuting
attorney of Walla Walla and Spokane
counties.
