Land craze In hebraska AIso

Under Il recent act Of congress-,
known as the kinkaid law, 5000, 900
acres Of landlin western Nebraska was
thrown open to homesteaders Tuesday
whereby n may file on 64O acres I'M
der the same terms and conditions as
applying to $50 acres under the old
law. a five years residence secures
the section with no payments aside
from the land office fees. The rush to
secure choice sections was enormous.
Reports from the six land offices in
Nebraska tell of thousands OF people
who were in line when the land offices
opened.
Experience has shown that it is i'm
possible for a homesteader to sustain a
family on 16O acres Of land in the
western part Of the state because of
lack Of sufficient rainfall, but that it
is expected that with $40 acres at
their disposal a sufficient number OF
stock may be kept to make it an in.
ducement to the settler to stay in the
country. For thirty years settlers
have been going in and going out.
There has been no increase in the pop.
ulation Of the west half of Nebraska
as whole for fifteen years-on the
contrary that part Of the state fell of
5000 between the census of 1890 anc
1900. Nevertheless western Nebraska
contains 100000 people engaged in
live stock saising, while the east halt
Of the state has a population Of nearly
100000 The cattlemen have approp
rated and fenced large tracts in the
western part Of the state that has beer
abandoned by settlers who attempted
to farm. it, and as repeatedly been
driven off by the government on &C
count of the cattlemen fencing in sec
tion roads as unconcerned as abandon
ed claims. 1t is said that the cattle
men are hiring cowboys to file on these
$40 acre homesteads under the new
law and will furnish the required
numbered of cattle to stock them
When the five years is up the cattle
men will take the land off the COW
boys hands.
