SOME OPPOSITION.
New Homestead Bill Will Favor, Il Is
Said, the Bio C~attlemen.

Belle Fourche. S. D., Dec. 3.-The
new homestead bin that is being intro
duced by Congressman Martin is get
ting considerable opposition ak in the
Black Hills. The chief objection to the
bill is that it will throw open TO loca-
ton thousands of acres, which can be
taken up by the big cattlemen. thus
excluding the small cattle owners and
farmers. The bill throws open all OF
the land west Of the l02 parallel, known
as the Rapid City land district. . This
portion of the state was opened for
homestead settlement on April II, 1877.
There remains today in this tract T.
100000 acres unappropriated, 800, 600
acres unsurveyed, n 200, 600 unoccu-
pied, out of a total of 13, QG0, 900 acres.
one prominent rancher. who Is op-
posing the Martin bill, states that there
are thousands of acres of choice ground
on lower Belle Fourche. Morreau and
Cheyenne rivers and on the smaller
tributaries of the Missouri river which
would be settled quickly by small farm
ers If there We're better railroad facil-
tiles. He states that if the Martin bin
passes all of this choice ground will be
homesteaded by the big cattlemen and
that such wholesale locating and land
fencing would forever stop railroad
building across the reservation. He
goes so far as to make the assertion
that Congressman Martin is pushing
this bill for the benefit of the cattle
men; that last year q portion of west
ern Nebraska was opened up to the
640-acre location, this year western
South Dakota gets the same bill, and
that later on other western states will
get the same sort of a bill for the eat
t!emen.
The petitions that have been posted
by Congressman Martin in the different
postofftces west of the river are being
quite generally signed. II is believed
that it will not receive any strong OPP
position. The bill provides that the
land, when taken in the G40-acre tracts.
must be as compact as possible and
Il not exceed two miles in length.
Lands that may be irrigated under the.
national law or private enterprise. are
excluded. The secretary shall. prior to
the operation of the act, designate and
exclude from entry land ~irrigable. and
shall from time to time open to entry
under this act any land SO excluded or
which may hereafter be irrigable. Own
ers of land may enter other lands con-
tiguous, to a total of $40 acres.

and there IS little ground for expect

Japanese. The battleship Sevastopol

sibly returns to the harhor at night and
ancho inside the outer boom, which

recent heavy weather has given added
protection to the vessel.
Naval experts are d~iScarding the
theory that h Russians themselves
sank any of the ships. The fact that
the vessels first showed lists while in
exposed positions and the efforts made

conclusive evidence against the theory
or their being sunk by the Russians.
