a fat Office for the next two or three
years until the Sisseton lands are dis

the place. The South Dakota delega

Senator Pettigrew is urging the pas
sage of the act which will give timber
culture claimants the right to prove up
after eight years, whether they have
been able to secure the required num-
ber of trees or not. This is measure
that ought to pass as it will afford great
relief to many an honest settler who
has expended time and money on his
tree claim and yet had his stand OF
trees destroyed by drouth or fire just as
he had got ready to prove up.
