Victory for Homesteaders.

Special agents of the government
are sending out notices to the cattle
men of western Kansas to tear down
their fences in accordance with the
ruling made by the department last
year. 1t is made crime to fail to
have fence torn down within 60
days from the time notice is served.
While this order works hardship to
the big cattlemen, yet it is a blessing
to the homeseeksr and the small cat
tleman. Western Kansas is practically
all under fence at the present time.
One cattleman alone, on the Cimarron
river, has pasture IS miles long
and 20 miles wide, fenced. 1t cost
SIS, 400 to fence it. other cattlemen
each have from three to five town.
ships fenced in. The most of the land
is government land, too, subject to
homestead entry.
