100 HOMESTEAD
FILINGS FOR YEAR.
PIERRE DISTRICT ESTABLISHES A
RECORD FOR 1905.
Claims Taken Up Make More than
Nine Townships, or 2o3,o4os Acres,
Besides Large Tracts Of State Lands
Purchasers Who Make Full Pay
ments and Receive Patents Num-
Der $40.

Special to The Journal.
Pierre, s. D., Jan. demonstrators took more
than nine townships OF land in the Pierre district
in 1905. OF this six townships were taken in
the last four months Of the, year. since the ex-
tension of the North Western road has become a
certainty. The total number of homestead filings
for the year was 1890, Of which 1853 We're in
the months of September, October, November
and December. These filings took up an acreage
of 2O3, O4O.
Besides the homesteads there was a township
or more taken up in state filings, and declara-
tions for the year. This record promises to be
distanced long way In this year as the 1nqui-
ries for homestead lands are coming from prac-
5tically every state in the union, and as soon as
spring opens. people will be coming to the wes
tern part of the state by trainloads.
The construction of three lines Of railway
across the western part Of the state being as
sured for the year, and Indications. pointing tc
still further railway development, is going t.
bring an awakening after twenty-five years OF
ing South Dakota farther to the front, ant
continue to keep it in the list Of states as the
one that produces more wealth per capita thar
any other in the union.
$40 Patents Issued.
The state land department has also been doing
something in the way of bringing state land
under private ownership. In the last year pat
ents have been granted $40 purchasers of stat
lands who have made full payments, and befor
the end of this month many more patents vii
have been sent out.
The largest number of such patents are calle
| for about the close of the old and the begin
ming of the new year. In. January last, IL
purchasers Of state lands called in their con
! tracts and occurred patents, and in Deeembe
| seventy patents were sent out. In all thes
