The regtatratlon will conclude at mid night on October B. rive regtatratlon points are named la the proclamation open ing the lands to settlement Bismarck, N. P., and Lemmon, Pierre. Lebeau, Mo bridge and Aberdeen, a. D. Aberdeen has alio been deelgnated aa the place of draw ing and will be the headquarters of Su perintendent James W. Wltten, aad be cause of this fact will likely secure the bulk of tbe registration. ' But partlea reg istered at other points will reserve exactly the aeme consideration aa thoes who regis ter at Aberdeen. The drawing Ul ooamenee sa October U at 10 o'clock In the morning and will continue until. sufficient namea hare; been drawn to Insure the entry ( all the lands optoed to eattlemtnt Tea Tkcesaal Hew Hemes. The reservations to be opened contain. In round numbers, lUT.Oet acres of land, but about tut.ouo acres have been alloted to the Indiana and about acres are embraced In the grants to the states. After the deduction of these and other reservations made by the government theie will still remain for distribution among the aettlera applying for the land something over 1.60U.00 aora. making . about M.OOW homea. The tract Is about ninety mllee long, rarles In width from thirty t eighty-four miles aad la travereed by the Oraad, Uonau aad Oak rivers. Tributary to thaae si earns are a number of creeks which fur nish an excellent drainage to the territory and an abundance of supply of water for farming and the stock raising Industry. Tbe soil Is a rk h black loam with a sub soil of clay wblcb holds the moisture, and It produce crop of wheat, barley, flag, corf aad vegetables of all klnda Tbe lands are located In aa old-aeuled country and land la the adjacent territory sella ta the .pea market for M to e per acre. The tUwaukee transcontinental railroad oroeaea the aurtbera portion of the reserve lie na awo Unas e tbia railroad are now be ing -constructed In a southerly direction and will lead through tha lands to be opened to settlement, The lands are be ing appraised at from W cents to an acre. Under the regulations of the Inte rior department. Issued with relation to the opening, the lands will not be subject to entry or settlement until April 1, 1910. Rearletratloa aad Drawing. Tha registration and drawing will be con ducted upon practically the same plan as that adopted for the Coeuer d'Alene and Flathead last spring. Instead, of tbe no taries working Independently thy will be at this opening formed Into an association and housed under one building., This plan waa adopted for the purpose of eliminating al rivalry bet wen them for business. Each applicant for land must visit one of the registration places named, in person, but old soldiers, who participated In the civil or Spanish-American war or their widows or - minor orphan children may register through agents.. A fee of 2t cents will be charged by the notaries for registering an applicant. The drawing will be conducted on tbe plan In uae at other openings. It will be held In public and on the morning of the drawing the large sheet iron cans will be brought forth and the contents depoalted on a large caged platform and a little girl appointed by tbe superintendent will draw the lucky numbers. Aa there are about 10,00 homes ' to be distributed In these reservations, about 20,000 names will be drawn, as it la estimated that half of those applying, for one reason or another fail to make their appearance at tbe appointed time and make entry for the land. Domaad for Laad Is Croat. While there remain still several Indian reservations to be thrown open to settle ment next year, tbeee to be opened In Oc tober are twice as large aa they are and, in moat respects, are more favorably lo cated. The fact la already realised by tbe land-seekera, and they also have a keen re alisation of tbe value of land In the mar ket and the produota It Is capable of pro ducing, and probably never In the history of the American people baa the erase for land been aa great aa It la today. The peo ple In general are beginning to rapidly re alise that tha vaat publio domain over which the Indian bunted the buffalo and tbe pioneer white man grated his vast bards of cattle and horses, and whloh might be appropriated and converted Into farms and homea, la rapidly vanishing, and that practically their only opportunity to secure a home under the homestead laws la to be found In Uncle Ham's lottery game conducted with relation to hla Indian reeer vatlona. Superintendent Wltten and his aeelatants and score of clerka, receive each day thouaands of Inquiries with relation to the opening, and Send out each day as many replies, and It la predicted that the regtatratlon will be almost equally aa great as waa that this spring when the Spokane, Coeuer d'Alene and Flathead reservations were opened to settlement at tbe same time. In anticipation of this great rush the eitlsena and baaloee seen of all tha regis tration points are active In making prep arations for tha caring and entertainment of the immense crowds which will be la attendance daily. Stbut-Hcartcd Policemen Shed Copious Tears For Why? Why, Became Mike Hed rick Bowli In with, a Barrow Full of Oniont. Tears, Idle tears, flowed copiously from the eyes of many a bold policeman when poor old Mike Hedrlck, trundling before him a beavlly-laden wbeelbarcow, waa brought into the polios station. The cause for them was not Mike's con dition, which was good, nor any senile weaknaaa upon tha part of tha aforesaid doughty guardians of the peace. It was onions. The onions were In tbe wheelbarrow, the wheelbarrow waa la the police station. There you have It. Mike has a long note, which grow cold in winter, unlesa well heated by Inward fire. It also convinced Mike that winter was nigh. Mike therefore proceeded to piovlds his bodily fuel for the winter by ap propriating it from several cars in the Norihwastern Railway company's yards. Ha was caught at It while making off with the goods. He ran. Us waa ohased and captured by Detectives Mitchell and Sulli van, who forced him to push bis load of stinging sorrow to the station. In the barrow aside from tha onions were a tack of apples and a aack of potatoes. "For heaven's sake, what did you steal the onions forT" tearfully inquired Desk Officer Morgan. "To out," said Mike. "Oh. 1 know," said Morgan, "the apples and potatoes are ail right, but. oh, those onleus." And be dabbed furtively at hi streaming eyes. ' ' European Impression of a First-Tripper By Be.

The car waa packed inside and out, men stood on the fender In front, stuck on tbe drawhead In the rear and sat on top. ' There must have been close to 100 per son on the car, st worth.

They He there among me xovwiuia ui a region so lovely that you want to dream away all the remainder of vnur vacation among them. To the west we have Lake Magglors. The water Is of a wonderful green shade, the shores are richly wooded, and the pretty semi-Swiss villages and villas 'on tha alopea and hills make the broad lake beauty of Maggloro very charming. Then eastward comes Lake Laguno, bolder and grander, with rugged and oastle-llk heights. Still on, and Coma, the gem of gems, deep, dark, beautiful Como, wooes and wins you with Its rich delights. A little before noon we left Stresa on Maggloro and It waa ( at evening when our boat landed u at Ballaglo on the very tip of a peninsula that from the north and pushes Into tha middle of Lake Como. Be tween tbe lakes go little narrow gauge ralloads over stretches of land so glorious as to almost madden the Imagination. From 8trea to Ballaglo la a Journey aa exquisite aa the blue vault, as refined a the poetry of bards with the tongue of beauty, aa peaceful as unsullied nature herself a journey all delight. I have only one lake to compare with Como, Lake Louise In the Candalan Rockies, truly a rival of the wondrous Italian, but much as stately, mystical Sioux Indian maiden would be to a blgh-souled, refined and dark-eyed slg nora. Ballaglo can be reached onlv k. boat from Menagglo, and a blessing rt Is mat n stress and strain here fada a era v. and there is left yeu Just what you need once and a while, a dream-life at a dream- lake In north Italy's sublime dreamland. ' This lake region to BwUserland's Invita tion to tha south, and tbe aouth's graceful aoceptaaca with a bow and a smile. Though the Lombards, and other Gothic tribes, poured their blood Into the arteries of the north Italians, the change from Italy to Swltserland is abrupt snd aston ishing. From the artistic gesturing and smooth Italian to tbe rugged, brusque, clumsy and genuine Swiss acorns Ilka a leap over a gigantic chasm, so different are the two natlona. Tha Bwlaa like to be clean and orderly as much as those pleas ing Mtoawbera, tbe Italians, prefer filth and Indolence. Ah. and It's so refreshing to come once more among self-respecting people. The depot porter at Ooehenen carried my valise Into the car. I gave him IS ceetlmea (five cents), and, as he felt desirous to do the right thing. I asked him, "Is this satisfactory T" The solid, bearded old patriarch replied In his good-natured Bwlaa manner: "Ja-Ja" (with a deep vowel) "God' blessing!" and thanked me with a plaia manly bow of bis fine William Tell bead. What would a Neapolitan have dooef Shrugged hla shoulders, held out the money dramatically la his baad and asked for more with one of those Inde scribable begging smiles of these children of the south. It must bo Joyful to be a cltlxen of a country that all the world loves, and all the world lovea Swltserland. They used to say that this Alpine land is "Europe's play ground." But when you see the Japanese, the Indian, the Chinaman and the Aus tralian on their vacation there, you feel Ilka calling Switzerland tbe playground of the earth. I noticed, too, that the Swiss have 'a remarkably contented spirit. Why should they not? They hear only rapturous praise of their land, and of themselves. We cam to them expecting the subllmest glory of all Europe and we find Infinitely more than we expect. In Italy we had a very good time, but we -were continually at variance with unwished for odors, and those Interesting little black Jumpers that make life rather eueer by night aad by day. In Switzerland you get In exchange the smell of pines, and the rest-bringing cleanliness of the most expert Innkeepers of tbe world, the sturdy cosmopolitan Swiss. True, you exchange art for nature, artists for peasants, clever and talkative Italian gentle-folk for bluff, direct, honest mountaineers, but you like, the change. It refreshes ysu so. Tbe Swiss have truly a remarkable genius for thrift and bualneaa. They know bow to make money on you, let the traveler note that before he goes there, yet they do It in such a way as to give you all possible pleasure In return. And they have an honest way of getting at your purse which one must admire. They have just what you want, yet at their own price. If you do not clinch tbe bargain you arc the loser and they readily find some one who willingly buys what you did BOk Perhaps Swltserland Is the meat for tunate country of ail Europe, with soenery like tbe grandest symphony. In a location free from the war-like Jealousies of other European countries, the climate Invigorat ing, the people beauty-loving and demo cratic, with dignity and Impressive reserve, able and willing to work hard, cheerful and free from nervousness, with simple habits, but with marvelous cosmopolitan sympathies, educated without supercili ousness, and lovers of nature. Therefore. I think It a shame and a cruel invasion of wickedness that Kuablan nihilists and Oer man anarchical socialists should import their barbarous malcontent into peaceful Swltserland In Zurich, on the pretty pic turesque lake of the same name, there are already movements similar to thoae in Ger many, Belgium, France and England. There may bo Industrial reasons for thla in part. In Zurich, Oeneva and a few ether pleoea, manufacturing estabUshmenta have brought on some of tbe curses of modern Industrial Ism. Yet the sensible and manly Swiss should set all the rest of Europe an example by solving these prob lems witb the heart and the baad, tnalead of by the clinched . fist, and the spirit of the ugly clans hatred, which we find In Germany, Sweden and Russia. The German-Swiss feels quite insulted If you call him a German. Swiss stands for something superior to German in his mind. It may be a little unkind for him to feel that way about his neighbor to the north, who, of course, counts himself the central figure In the oongress of natlona. The Swiss Is as Inataly stubborn as hla colossal moun tains are Immovable. In one particular be should, however, rise superior to the neigh bor; he should refuse to poison hla cup of life with the German rabid anarchism. It will not add to his Alpine happiness, aad It will certain y ruin the heart-winning, manly directness of character and mind fur which tha Swiss Is famous. Would you not expect that tbe unspeak able gTsndness of the Alpine land would give to tbe Swiss a superb artistic Imag ination? I wonder If It doesT Lovers of nature, they are, most certainly. Qualnt ness and fanclfulness mark their chalets and their churches, just as you find these same traits among the prosalo, unpoetic Dutch. Take the muenster (cathedral) of Lucerne, with Its Blender tower, crea tions of a peasant Imagination, one might say. There Is a certain distinction to thla, and .other churches, yet without a conscious art-spirit. Strange, too, bow Iconoclastic and art-lnlmlcal the Swiss re formation of the sixteenth century was In distinction from the conservative art-lov ing reformation of XJermeny. Zwingll bad, apparently, no Imagination. The muenster at Zurich Is hideously bald, and frigid as an Ice-chest. That the Swiss reforma tion took this course cannot be called an aocldent. It struck Its root no doubt In tbe Swiss oharacter, for Just a little across the border. In old Nuremburg, the most exquisite art-spirit reigned simultaneously. Where are poets and painters of Swltser land known to the world! Tbe "Lion of Lucerne. " that grandest art-symbol of the inmost spirit of the liberty-loving Swiss, baa a Dane, the greet Thorw aid sen, as its creator. Why did not a Swiss artist body forth the secret soul of his people In a masterpiece of art? The ques tion came to me aa I stood and gaaed at that cavern In the mountainside where lies the "Lion of Lucerne." The Teutonle tribes that poured Into Oermany, Den mark, Scandinavia, tbe Hetheiiands, Aus tria and Swltserland In tbe time of the migrations, and centuries before, differed apparently very much la mental make-up. Some were mainly men of action, others also had the rare gift of Imagination. Whether the Swiss belongs to the latter claas or not, I would not presume to de cide upon definitely. Eminently artistic the Swlas may not bo. Eminently Inde pendent, manly and trustworthy they certainly are. Swltserland alone remains aa example of a true, demooratio republic Tha republic of Ft nee la too burdened with militarism, and tha dusty old robes of aristocracy, to fanrtsb Kurep with the proof of the blessings Inherent In a repub lican form of government. Just one little evidence of Swiss sim plicity of Ufa In Swiss romantic setting. One evening In Borne, the medievally quaint and beautifully located capital, I at tended an open air concert In the Schanxll gardens on the world-famous terrace of Berna that looks on toward the distant Bernese Alps. I came to the terrace Just ss the half-veiled, rich pink and rose Alpine glow was entering Its "last rose of summer stage." The entire range of the Bernese Alps, with the Jungfrau and oon sorts, was tinted aa no painted ever could conceive a color scheme. After a while the glow changed to gas-light green, a green of awful beauty, then darkening Into grey and black. Of a sudden the corner of the rich golden full moon glides up from be hind the Jungfrau, an amaxlng spectacle of evening glory. Meanwhile, aa the shadows deepened In the park the lights were kindled at the bandstand, and grad ually the park filled with people and tha players took their plaoea. A little fee, re ceived at the gatea In soup plates, waa re quired for the privilege of attending the) concert. I expected to find the muslolans garbed In the coBtly uniforms of military bands. Not so. The conductor had a silk hat on and a very simple suit, the play ers soft hats or derbys, and every day clothes, sny shape and shade. Hera ws walked about and dreamed away the hours to the music of these plain garbed artiste. Romano of nature nd of place were wed ded to freedom and simplicity. It gave me an added Insight Into the almost Ideal spirit of thla unique people, that are so free and so cosmopolitan. Happy tha na tion that can preserve In the midst of all cultural advantages a Llncolaeaqtle, or should w say, a Swiss simplicity of mind and nfel If this spirit dies In Switzerland tha bias Parisian and plutoc ratio display-mongers from New Tork and Chicago will be greatly responsible. Lucerne, the Parts of Swltserland, a charming region full of lovely grandeur, may become the wedge by which the super-refined luxurl e senses of th other nations force Its way up Into the Alpine heights of Switzerland. Nature's crown on the bead of Queen Europea. Lucerne Is actually very modern and full ef th el eg an oe of elegant tour tats. Yet I think that th tramandons ser mon of nature, In her most majestic and Imposing forms of beauty, will even In beautiful Luoern restrain th many pam pered children of wealth who tour this wonderland. The rest of us wish the Swltserland of God's own making and a little as possible of th glided woe ef over culture which we travel far to escape. Bxeeused.
