HANSBROUGH ON
HOMESTEAD BILL
NORTH DAKOTA SENATOR HAS 4
REMEDY.
His New Bill Will Relieve the Teehni-
cal Defects of the Present Law--Will
Help Many Who Have Lost Their
Claims.

Washington. ID, c.. Jan. 4.-Senator
Henry G. Hansbrough of North Dakota,
Is preparing a relief measure for the
benefit of those persons whose applica-
tion for comnutation of entry on
homesteads on public lands. has been
rejected, because of the ruling of the
interior department of Feb. q, 1906, in
the Katie +. Brecht case. The ruling
is that anyone who failed to live on the
land for eight months continuously, af-
ter the constructive period of six
months, must begin residence anew and
live continuously on his claim for four
teen months. in order to avoid the
necessity of making the full term of
five years residence for a homestead
and to get the land at slips an acre.
Prior to this ruling an absence of q
few weeks or such matter on business
was not held to vitiate the residence.
Under. the ruling, however. no absence
was allowed, whether for business rea-
sons or otherwise. Absolutely continue
Gus residence was insisted on. The
special bill of Senator Hansbroueh viii!
affect all cases of date prior to the
Breeht decision, and, if the bin passes.
all such persons will be permitted to
prove up under the old rulings. 1t is
understood. however, that the rule will
remain in force as to all others.

New York. Jan. A. The Chicago

had bought 103,431 shares of preferred
capital stock of the Chicago e. Alton
Co, and his act was approved The ex-
ecutive committee of the Union Pacific
authorized Hartman and his three as
sociates to enter into a contract with
w. b. Leeds of the Chicago Rock Is
land & Pacific railway, by which the
stocks held in the Chicago e. Alton
Central Trust Co., Of New York
erhe purpose of the contract" said
Attorney Kellogg, in reading portions
of it, was to maintain joint control for
ten years of the Chicago & Alton, the
Union Pacific to have control one yea
and the Rock Island the next year, and
so on alternately"
Counsel for the commission intro
duced in evidence copies of the stock
holding and the rate agreements be-
tween the Union Pacific and the San
Pedro, Los Angeles & Salt Lake rail-
way. executed by e. III. Hartman and
w. A. Clarke, as representatives of the
two systems. Kellogg read from the
traffic agreement which had life OF
ninety mine years, and in which the Pa
cific Co. agreed to maintain the same
rates as charged by the Southern Pa
cific Co. Commissioner Lane express
ed surprise that the contract should be
for SO long period of time
And you must remember rejoined
Kellogg, ''that the rates to be main
tanned are those of the Southern Pacific
railway, which, SO far as known. does
