ties like dnck takes to water. and it is
useless to add, will make good and con-

Ell Reno will be appointed one of the dis

homa. and is eminently qualified to deal
with them as judge.

secure title by the payment of SL25 an
acre. If this plan was not desired, title
conld be secured free by residence of five
years. In Oklahoma all this Was changed,
and settlers were required to live on land
for five years and in addition pay the
regular price per acre. Delegate Flynu's
free homestead bill, already before con-
