Free Homestead Bill.

Washington, Jan. 19.-The free
homestead bill was returned from
the senate to-day, amended SO as
to cover all lands acquired by
treaty or agreement from the
various Indian tribes, as well as
those in the territory of Oklaho-
ma. The measure, as amended,
was taken up by the committee
on public lands in the house and
Congressman Bell, of Colorado,
raised the point as to whether
the bill would cover such lands
as those included in the Ute res
ervatioh in Colorado, where
homestead entries were not al
lowed, and offered an amend
fnent 30 as to cover all Indian
lands. Most of the committee
seemed to think the bill; as amen
ded, would cover all lands and
were afraid to recommend it for
fear of defeating the measure, and
decided to pass it just as it came
from the senate.
The substance of the bill, as
amended, is that settlers under
the homestead laws who shall re-
side upon the tract entered, in
good faith, shall be entitled to a
patent in the same manner as
entries upon any other lands sub
ject to homestead entry.

been a consistent advocate of

monthly editions, epitomizing
Western life, Western settlement,
Western enterprise and Western
progress generally as reflected by
its special contributors and
numerous exchanges, together
with it's beautiful illustrations
and practical portrayal Of West
ern needs. have done much to
advertise the Northwest, hasten
its development and promote its
settlement.
No other magazine is devoted
exclusively to Northwestern in
terests.
No other publication so persi-
silently reflects Northwestern
sentiment.
No other periodical has done
so much to encourage Western
workers in the field of literature.
In a word, The Northwest

Commissioners TO Save Mile
age And Per Diem Bills.

The new board of county com
missioners evidently mean we'll.
They are strong on retrenchment
not only by the various other Of
ticers Of the county, but have an
Idea that the same principle can
be carried into effect with regard
to themselves. 1t has been deci-
ded that hereafter the duties of
the Office will be segregated, and
certain things made the special
duties of certain individuals. For
instance the poor farm at Elber-
ton, will be placed under the spe-
cial supervision of Commissioner
Hinchliff, who lives at that place,
and who will be held responsible
for the conduct of affairs there.
This will save the county the exl
pence Of a monthly trip to the
farm by the whole board, as has
been the practice under the old
board. Then hereafter when
bridges or pieces of road work
ARE to be inspected, one member
of the board will be sent to do
the work at each place, in place
of the whole board going. This
plan faithfully carried ont should
RESULT in considerable saving to
the county in the way of com
missioners salaries and allow
anees!
