portion OF the state will this year greatly
exceed that OF last season. The good
crop last year has encouraged many of
the farmers to increase their acreage this
year, and besides this there are many new
settlers who have but recently arrived.
Business at the United States land
office in Chamberlain is steadily On the
increase. An average ofssone homestead
filing per day has been made for the past
month, and prospects now are that this
will greatly increase kduring the next
month or six weeks. Persons are arriv
ing almost daily from the East with the
intention Of locating in that vicinity, and

are still many fine quarter sections of
government land along White river, in
the coded lands, and the settlers are find
ing it out to judge by the manner in
which the land is being taken.
