Senator Mcmillan has introduced q
bill in the senate similar to Pettigrew's
house bill providing for the establish
ment of three more land districts in Da-
kota. There is also bill pending to
create the jamestown land district. A
correspondent writes as follows on this
subject:
# both bills should become laws there would
be thirteen land districts in Dakota. The ar
gument il made that the land business in .Da-
kOta will justify the establishment of these
new districts. Nebraska has twelve districts,
and yet it's land business is but q small part Of
that of Dakota. It is said that last year there
were 14,156 homesteads taken in Dakota, while
N Nebraska there were only $685., In Dakota
there were Is, 1852 pre-emptions while in Nebras-
ka there were but 1884. It is also shown that
one.half of the entire land disposed of by the
United States last year was in Dakota. Since
the 1st of July, this year, there have been ovei
1000 Prescriptions and homestead filings il
Southern Dakota, indicating an increase of pop
ulation of $1,000 people since that time.

FRAUDULENT ENTRIES.
A Douglas County Man Doing a Wholesale
Business,

A Douglas County Man Doing Wholesale
Business.
Washington, Dec. 19-The purpose of
the commissioner of the general land
office to effectually break up the fraudu-
lent practices in entering public lands
is being fully exemplifed. The COM
missioner to-day Cancelled 100 pre-emp-
ton Filings and 100 timber culture
entries recently made in Douglas
county, Oak, at the instance of F..
Lacocq, an attorney practicing in the
land district. The timber culture en-.
tries were Cancelled because the affidayits
antedated when the plats of the town
ships were filed in the register and re-.
ceiver's Office. The parties had made
the papers for entries when there
were no lands to enter. It is held that
these afidavits and the entry are to be
contemporaneous or part of the same
proceedings, and cannot be made until
after the township plat had been filed.
The pre-emption filings were Cancelled
for the reason that settlements is required
to be made upon the land, but upon ex-
animation the special agent found that
no settlement had been made on these
several tracts. 1t appears that Lecocq
had induced q large number of Holland.
ers, most of whom lived in Lincoln coun-
ty, Iowa, to come into the land district
and take these timber entries and pre-.
emption filings. The claims, it is said
covers about three townships. Lecoca
had made great noise about establish
ing town, and had succeeded in int1uen-
ing these innocent parties to emigrate to
Douglas county and commit the frauds,
The attention of Special Agent Maj.
Burke was called to the matter and he
ut once proceeded to investigate. On
his arrival in Douglass county he found
about twenty of these Germans located
and actual residents of three townships.
He wanted to know of Lecocq how these
parties came to be in possession of these
lands. Lecocq at first evaded the ques-
tion, but finally said he did not expect
them to hold the land against actual
settlers. The special agent also found
that the township plats had not been
fled when the atfidavits were made, and
there was no intention to improve the
lands. He therefore recommended that
oil the filings and entries be Cancelled,
Commissioners Mcfarland says it is the
practice for "a number of persons making
the fraudulent entries not to select con.
tiguous territory, but to select from
different sections, SO that they will in
the aggregate cover larger tracts. He
says criminal proceedings have not yet
been instituted against Lacocq, and he
does not know whether there will be OF
not. At all events, hereafter he will moi
be allowed to practice as attorney al
any of the land Offices.

Stacked lime added to vegetable mat
ter causes it to give off its nitrogen in the
form of ammonia. Upon soils in which
ammonia is combined with acids it sets
free the ammonia, which is seized upon
by the growing plants. Its solubility in
water causes it to sink into and ameliorate
the subsoil, When the soil contains frag-
ments Of granite or trap rock, lime
hastens their decomposition and liberates
their constituents. Its combination with
the acids in the soil produces saline
compounds such as potash and soda,
which Immediately enter into plant
growth. Strewed over plants it de-
stroys or renders uncomfortable the 10
