The first man to fall into line and who will -be-recognized-as-No—-1 is Dan Caldwell, of Tron River, Wis., and No. 2 is Sanford McCauley, of Winnebago City; Minn. Then follows more .than a block in order. These men will remain in their positions until the open- ing ' of the. lard . office doors Wednesday morning. The crowd is a jolly, good-natured one. and the late comers accept their place in the line without a mur- mur. No trouble is anticipated. ~ The lands to be opened are in the Pigeon River, Bois Fort,Deer Creek, White Oak Point, Red Lake, Chippewa of the Mississ- ippi and-Winnibigoshish reserva-| tions.
