The bill to repeal the pre-emption,
desert lands and timber culture laws
and to amend the homestead law,
was presented in the Senate last
Tuesday and will in our opinion pass
both houses of congress and become
q law. The bill does not affect the
rights of those who have already
filed or may file before it becomes a
law. 1t provides that any per-
son who has not had the benefit of
the presumption law and who has
failed to perfect title to land hereto.
fore entered under the homestead
law may make a second homestead
entry in lieu of the presumption right
repealed. All offered public lands
are withdrawn from sale and held
only subject to entry under the home
stead law. The bill is a good one in
many respects; but might DO greatly

aquirement of large tracts of land by
foreign Lords and Dukes.

The article published in another

the reduction of government land
from $3.50 to $l.25 will hardly meet
with the endorsement of many set.

THE Bad Lands Cow Boy favors
the repeal of the herd law or adop.
ton Of a fence law. This will do for
the Bad Lands, as they are exclusively
a stock country; but to compel the
farmers to fence is to impose a bur.
den of expense, which they are at
present lily able to carry. It means
that the poorer classes, the farmers
who are struggling to develope the
resources of the country and to build
up homes for themselves, shall have
this additional trouble and expense
put upon them at the dictation of a
few rich cattle kings. If the people
OF Billings county desire to have the
herd law repealed we have no oh.
jections so long as it only applies to
them; but Stark county soil is moro
valuable for agricultural than stock
purposes and we shall oppose any in
reference with this law if it affects
this county.

TIE Mandan Pioneer commenting
upon the coal supply says: zone great
advantage that the west Missouri
country possesses for the immigrant,
is found in its Ignite. which the
farmer can dig from his own field and
haul his w fuel without cost to
himself. But unfortunately for those
who are not farmers and who have
not coal mines of their W to work
upon, Ignite can only be purchased
from the Northern Pacific coal COM
pany, unless the purchaser is near
enough a Ignite bed to buy 1t from
off the wagon of someone who dug
it. The Northern Pacific railroad
company will some day realize that
it has made a big mistake in giving
a monopoly of this business to the
Northern Pacific coal company"
