Fhe bill In question allows : set
ter . second homestead under Ger.
tain conditions, where the party ala

n the past, under congressional enact
ment. settlers who could not secure
water on their locations. or who could
show good cause for other reasons.
wero allowed, and to make new filings
on tracts more satisfactory to them,
the general land Office ruling that
they had such privilege under the ex-
listing statutes. Since the general agi-
tation over the country in regard to
the management Of the public lands,
the general land Qffice rules that such
settlers have no rights upon the tracts
which they have fled.
In many cases extensive improve
ment have been made upon just such
filings.
In Stanley county one claimant has
placed more than $1,000 worth OF i'm
provement upon his tract, and n an
other q homesteader with large
family has staked his all on such I
claim. These are only two incidents.
and probably every township west Of
the river would show one or two such
cases. Several Of the parties 20 In.

his assistance in their behalf, and he
has interested Senator Kittredge In

tunity.
