Plenty of Land in America For Then
to Acquire CheaplY.


New York, Dec "a special to the
World from Washington says:
Representative Lacey OF Iowa, chair
man of the committee on public lands,
said in an interview regarding the COM
ing to America. of Boer families:
IF the Beers want to come to America
they will be able to find plenty of land.
While a greater part of the most desir-
able land has already been pre-enpted,
there remains enough to furnish home
steads for all the families who come.
Il believe the state Of Texas would Of
fer greater Inducements to the Beers
than any other place It is true there
are no public lands in Texas. When that
state entered the Union it reserved all it's
lands, and they are now known as school
lands.
These can be bought for from 81 25 TO
81 an acre, with five years to pay it in.
There will be several million acres of
good land in Oklahoma opened for set
tlement in the spring.
There is a settlement in my community
which everybody is proud Of Two town
ships We're brought up, and Hollanders
reside there. These people are among
the most industrious in the state.
THE Beers can find land anywhere in
the west-ColoradO, Montana New Mex
ico-almost any western state. They can
buy land there for very little, or settle
on the public domain and cultivate that
land.
1T is noticeable thing that every
where Hollanders or Germans or people
o fthat character have settled, the price
of property Immediately increases. They
are good neighbors, good citizens and
will be welcomed in any community"
Senator Teller of Colorado, said:
THE Beers would prove valua BILE cfti-
zens and would be gladly received in any
portion of the United States in which
they might settle. The most desirable
lands open for settlement under the
homestead act have already been taken
If the Beers have money they can secure
good land for very little.
Il do not believe that they could set
tie and make anything out of the arid

ASSEMBLE AT CHURCH.

Manila, Dec. Sunday in Vigan was
a great day for the American cause
Twenty-Five hundred natives of the re-
gion, nearly all fighting rebels, crowded
the church and took the oath of ale
glance to the United States. The oath
was administered by the priest. All but
500 of those sworn were bolo men The
number included the twelve hundred
boIo men who had previously surrend-
cred.
The proceedings in the church occu-
pied the entire day and included an ad-
dress by General Young and an exnor-
tation by the priest.
Scarcely any rebels remain IN the Vi
cinity of Santa Maria. General Young
attributes this fact to three causes: the
reelection of President Mckinley, the
arrival Of a stronger body of troops, and
the especially rigid enforcement of war
measures. and the deportation of prison
ers to Manila He reports that 1t is
necessary to occupy all the barriers IN
order to protect the natives from the
vengeance of Tagalog raiders

ENDORSED BY TEACHERS.
Southwestern Association Adopts
semi-Centennial Resolutions.


Semi-Cent tennial Resolutions.
That the teachers of southwestern
Kansas are heartily in favor of the
Kansas Semi-Centennjal Exposition is
evidenced by the fact that at meeting
of the association in Wichita Saturday
they adopted resolutions strongly fay-
oring the project.
The resolutions were to the effect that
in their opinion three hundred thousand
dollars was not too large a sum to ask
of the legislature which meets in this
city in January, and strongly urged the
governor of the state, w. E Stanley, to
recommend to the legislature the appro-
priation of that amount.
Following are the resolutions:
Resolved, That it is the sense of this
convention that the celebration of the
serni-centennial of Kansas in 1904 has
our hearty endorsement. We fully rec
ognize that it means a great deal TO the
future development, progress and ad-
vancement of western Kansas. and we
respectfully request that Governor w
E. Stanley in his message to the incom-
ing legislature would recommend very
generous appropriation, not less than
three hundred thousand dollars. for the
serni-centennial celebration of Kansas.
Resolved, That a copy of this reso-
luton be forwarded to Governor Stan
ley at once by the secretary of this as
sociation, duly signed
There were fully 200 teachers present,
and all We're enthusiastic in their con-
currence to the resolutions.
