President Opposes Terms Fixed in South Dakota Land Bill. WASHINGTON, March 5.— Repre- sentative James Sherman of New York. chairman of the Indian Affairs Committee of the House of Repre- sentatives, had a conference to-day with the President regarding the- bill providing for the opening to Settle- ment of 416,000 acres of land in the Rosebud Reservation, South Dakota. By the terms of the measure the land less than $3 an acre, the amount of the purchase price to be paid in five an- nual installments, the land not sold under the first offer to be allotted at $4 an acre. President Roosevelt in- formed Sherman that he was unalter- ably opposed to the terms of payment fixed in the bill as it passed the House. In fact his opposition to the price of the land as specified in the House bill is so strong that if the measure were passed by Congress in that shape he would veto it. It has been shown by excellent authorities that the land is worth an average price of at least $6 an acre, at the lowest, and some of it is worth as much as $25 an acre. —_———— Rich asbestos mines have been dis- covered near Irkutsk, Siberia.

LAWTON, O. T., March 5.—Advices from Fort Sill late to-night state that the military reservation north of Fort 8ill is burning, and a strong north wind is blowing. The Apache Indians, who are prisoners of war upon this reserva- tion, have been ordered to the front as fire fighters. No privates are being allowed outside the fort to-night, and all soldiers are in readiness to go out to fight fires. No great fear is expressed for Government buildings. This fire will practically sweep the remaining range bare of stock feed. SALINA, Kan,, March 5.—A prairie fire last night was started by sparks from an engine near Arcola, Ellsworth County. It spread north to the Salina River, a distance of twenty miles, and was the largest blaze seen in this part of the State for years, cutting a swath ten miles wide. There is no way of estimating the damage done by the fire, as it took in such a wide expanse of territory. Many farms have been devastated, pastures and grain fields ruined, sheds and barns LITIGANTS COMPROMISE ] SUIT OUTSIDE OF COURT | Dispute Over Possession of the Smith Brown Place Near the Napa State Hospital Is Settled.
