lailsman• Published Semi -Weekly THE MINER 4L INDEPENDENT Tuesday and Friday VOLUME ONE. NUMBER 30 OPEN TO ENTRY Ten Thousand Acres Along Sun River Opened to Settlement. FOREST LAND NEXT Announcement was made a few days ago in Washington, D. C., of the opening to settle- ment of 10,000 acres of land on the Sun river in Lewis and Clark and Choteau counties. This land was withdrawn from entry by the government in 1903, as was a great amount of land in this territory when the forestry do= partment was organized. With the restoration to entry of the Sun river tract it shows that the government will, from time to time, open for settlement all lands adaptable for agricultural use. Mineral county has a con- siderable amount of this sort of land in the forest reserves. Un- doubtedly it will only be a short time before this land will be re- stored to entry under the home- stead laws and settled up, giving to our county agricultural possi • bilities second to none in Western Montana. WILL MOVE INTO DEPOT C. R. Bullis, agent for the N. he was a man among men, had the happy faculty of getting results without fear. The \call- ing down\ and the \can -tieing\ were not his greatest assets, but kindness tempered with justice. His keen insight into human na- ture gave him the ability to handle men creditably, and his going was felt, not only by the employes of the Rocky Mountain division, but by citizens of this locality who have come to know him, not as the superintendent of a great railway corporation, but as a man interested in the growth and welfare of our com- munity. P. at Iron Mountain, announced that he would move his family back into the living rooms at the depot about the first of the month. It has been stated that Clerk and Recorder Dwyer, who is now living in one of the Schoenfeld houses at the rear of the school house, will move into the Spangler house which Mr. Bullis will vacate.

Judging frofn all indications the harness events will be even better than those of last season. There will be eight har- ness races during the four days, and these will be supported by practically all of the-running horses at the state fair this week and some others besides. Many people seem under the impression that the rt- cent legislation in regard to bet- ting on races will make it impossi- ble to conduct a successful meet- ing. Such, however, is not the case and the program will be a very interesting one. President J. R. Daily and Secre- tary Ferguson of the Missoula Driv- ing association, are spending a couple of days at the state fair this week for the express purpose of making the final arrangements for all of the race horses showing there to come to Missoula and join those already stalled here waiting for the opening event.

Lawrence of the Western Montana Fair, which opens September 29th and contin- ues for four days, is making good with the Missoula county display at the state fair this week.
