GIVES NOTICE
The United States land office at
Tutie:iu has issued notice of filing
>f plat survey of Townshijj No. 1,
lorth, and Range 1, east, of the
op per river meridian. This towu
ship is situated in the vicinity of j
Copper Center and will be filed in J
:he land office the 31st day of!
.Yugust.
In connection with the filing af
?lat the local officers are governed
by instructions recently given by the
L-ommissioner of the general land
office dealing with procedure in
ihe filing of applications when town
ship plats of surveys are filed.
These instructions, under date of
May 2«ud, 1914, mark the aban
donment by tho commissioner of
the general laud office of the meth
od of filing claims before local of
ficers, almost as old as the public
land laws themselves.
Applicants are allowed to present
I heir applications during the twen
ty days preceding August 31st and
on August 31st, but thereby no one
acquires a preference right over
any one else, unless he has already
settled upon the land applied for.
All such applications are regarded
:ts filed simultaneously, unless a
sse'tlemett on the Inst land Is al
leged. And if more than one ap
plication is made for any more than
one tract erf land by applicants who
do not allege settlement, the allow
Jnnco of the successful applicant
becomes a matter of a drawing, a
plan similar to that employed by
the government in the opening of
reservations.
The circular promulgated is de
signed to avoid the old time land
office rush with its attendant evils,
and also to discourage application
for public lands by those persons
who io not give the matter a care
ful consideration until I lie actual
day of filing. The rule favors the
actual settler and after the dale of
tho filing of the plat, the former
rule of "first come, first served"
obtains.
The local officers are not appre
hensive that the land office will be
besieged with applications. In a
period of two years but one home
stead application has been received
for lands in the vicinity of the
township, for which this plat is
tiled.—Juneau Dispatch.

M1AY0R
Butte, Mont., July 7—Another
chapter of blood was added to the
Butte l.tbor troubles Saturday by
Kric Lantelu, a Finnish iniuer, stab
bing Mayor Duncan three times,.
Mayor Duncan, .although knocked
down by the first savage lunge, de
fended himself while on his back
and finally managed to secure his
revolver, shooting the Finn through
the stomach. The latter then ceas
ed his desperate efforts to kill the
mayor.
Mayor Duncan is :i socialist and
has been accused of taking a rather
partisan stand in tho recent labor
troubles v.'.'ch disrupted the Butte
local of the Western Federation of
Minors.
The Immediate ca'ise of the stab
bing was the reiteration on the part
o£ the mayor of a statement that
an editor of a Finnish newspaper of
Hancock, Michigan, could not bo de
ported from Butte. Tho editor in
question has been upholding the J
cause ot the Wester 1 Federation of
Miners in his paper and this has I
caused resentment among the sc
cedcrs in Butte.
The Incident has caused more bad
blood between the contending fac
tions ai d further trouble is expect
ed.
