FOR SECOND HoMESTEADS.

The second homestead bill introduc
ed by Congressman Mondell follows
closely the act of June 3, 1900, which
was also his bill. That act provides
that any person who heretofore for
any reason lost or forfeited a home,
stead entry without having obtained
any benefit therefrom is entitled to
make a second entry. The act of April
rs, 1904, does not so quite so far. 1t
provides that any person who thereto
fore lost CT abandoned a homestead Ell,
try without consideration because OF
some complication in business affairs
or because of an honest mistake in the
character of the land filed upon, may
make a C entry, hut the second
application must be sent to the com,
missioner of the general land office for
his action, leaving the local officers no
discretion except in cases where it is
plain that the second entry cannot be
allowed, when they are required to 70
turn the application to the applicant
with the instruction that no right is
acquired by reason thereof. If. Mr..
Mondells bill becomes a law, it will
work a repeal of this latter act and it
will be mandatory upon the commits.
sioner to accept all applications made
by those who lost or forfeited their
homesteads prior to the passage of the
statute.
This is an exceedingly wise measure
and should become a law. 1t is Just
as important that those who have tried
and failed should be given an oppor.
tunity to try again as it is that a man
should be given the first trial, the only
restriction being that the law should
apply to those who lost or forfeited
prior to the passage of the act. The
Importance Of this latter provision is
plain. If the matter was left entirely
open and a nan could relinquish a
claim today and file another tomorrow,
there would be no end of trouble. A
man could then go into a mans pas.

Interested, get his blood-money and
go on to the next, without limit. The

MoNDELL's HOMESTEAD ACT.

The Republican is in receipt of the
text of the 32O-acre homestead bill in.
troduced by Congressman Mondell. 1t
follows closely the lines of the XIII
caid act, which is applicable to western
Nebraska, but differs in that 1t gives
the settler 800 acres instead OF GAO. II
makes it possible for those who have
heretofore acquired title to land under
the homestead act to take additional
contiguous lands up to 800 acres with
out other residence than that upon the
original entry. but the claimant must
eMpend S1.25 per acre in the way Of
improvements and make proof of cul.
tivation of at least on%e-eighth of the
entry. No person who is the proprietor
of more than 100 acres in any state or
territory Is to have any benefit under
the act, nor can n man enter lands un,

which are irrigable or more than $50

The inland waterways commission will
meet in this city on the 18th instant to
formulate a report on its operations dur
ing the past summer, including its in
spection of the Mississippi river with
President Roosevelt in October. The
con mission will then announce to the
world that its work is not confined to
navigation, but extends to the utilization
of the water resources of the country
from all points of view.
The commission was largely responsible
for the Presidents announcement at
Memphis that he would call a convention
to meet in Washington to consider the
conservation of the natural resources of
the country, including not only water, but
timber mineral, Oil etc, and its mem
bers are giving much attention to that
meeting. 1t was at first announced that
the conference would be held in jan

has been determined upon because the
governors of a number Of states will be
unable to attend at the earlier date In
stead of being a mass convention, as
was at first expected, the present inten-
ton is to make it a quiet conference be-
tween the President and some Of his
advisers with the governors of the va
rious states.
