Can File Homestead Claims

A recent decision of the general
land, Office allows any perssn qualified
under the law to file a homestead
claim on any land that has been filed
on under the reservoir or Desert land
act. If the claimant under the reSer-
voir filing goes ahead and fulfills the
law, the homestead filing has no effect,
but does not cause the loss OF the right
OF the claimant to file On another
homestead. The decision was made
owing to the fact that great major
ity of the reservoir filings were never
intended to be completed as was the
intent of she law. In the Bismarck
district it is said there are over 1000
filings under this act, over 200 OF them
on land containing valuable springs
and water courses. On only two, how
ever, have reservoirs been built or
work begun, and these are at McKen-
zies N. D., and Beach, Mont, by the
n. p. railway. 1t is a curiols instance
of neglect on the part of the company
to get clear title to the land at Nc
Kenzie, as the reservoir costing a
large sum of money is on land on
which a homestead contest has been
lately filed. The company will have
to settle with the claimant. The cost
of filing reservoir claim was only 81,
and a man could hold the land for two
years. Many filed for the hay, but
they have no more rights than others,
except as to the construction of reser-
voirs. There are number of such
filings in Stutsman county.

A dispatch from Winnipeg says the

Manitoba to the provincial govern

the provincial government will have

Senator Simpson has a bill to levy a
tax of half mill to pay wolf bounties
and unpaid certificates. Western
members claim that as stock COM
prises large share of the taxable
property of the state, tax for the
protection of stock benefits the whole
state. Taxes derived from live stock
60 to pay the expenses of the public
institutions in the eastern part of the
state, and the eastern members have
no valid ground to object to a wolf
bounty tax.
There is little of interest in the leg

were talking about adjourning for a

the bill to float the refunding war
rants before the 'ghost can walk. :"

to exempt the salaries and expenses
of the legislature from the law which
requires all claims to be registered

Bismarck, Jan. 3O.-The legislature
reconvened this afternoon. Nearly all
the members have returned. There
is considerable discussion over the
senate bill to reduce exemption to
$500. Representative Keeler favOrs a
compromise measure of 81, 900 instead
of the $500 proposed. The Tribune
advocates the reduction to $500 and
claims that such a reduction would
largely do away with the tremendous
chattel mortgage business now done
in nearly every case where a loan is
made. The claim is also made that
men OF .reputed honesty would be
enabled TO borrow money on their own
name, but he would have to meet the
payments just as promptly as if he
had mortgaged all he had. II farmer
or merchant makes loan and gives a
mortgage to secure it he is no more
protected by a high exemption than if
there were no exemption at all.
1t is reported that Representative
Galbraith, at request of E. G. Cooper,

children the pension to be $40 for six
children.up to $50 for dozen or more.
In this connection it is said that
Representative Leech is incubating a
bill timing maiden ladies $50 for each
refusal OF marriage, and requiring
them to make annual report to the
county judge of the offers they have
received during the year. 1t is not
known whether this is a measure Of
revenge or.one calculated to swell the
states exclequer.
