The members of the 31st legislative
delegation have been given good places
on the various committee appointments
announced on Tuesday.
Senator L. A. Simpsons appointment
on the committee of appropriations is
especially important to Western North
Dakota in view of the government ex-
pertinent station at Dickinson. The last
legislature appropriated $4,000 for this
institution, a large portion of which was
expended in buildings and equipment
for the station, leaving very little with
which to carry on the work of two sea-
sons.
Senator Simpsons recognized ability
and long experience as legislator, with
the assistance of his colleagues, will en-
able him to'secure an appropriation that
will more adequately carry on the work
of this important station.
Conditions are so different in the west
ern part of the state from those in the
country east of the Missouri river that
the Dickinson experiment station can be
made of untold benefit to both new and
old settlers.
The work of less than two years under
Supt. L. R. Waldron and his able board
of managers has been very satisfactory,
considering that the virgin soil had to be
broken and everything started from the
bottom. Thousands of trees have been
started, which will make handsome
showing in the nexvfew years; valuable

LEAVE OF ABSENCE
OF Three Months Expected for Homesteaders Of
Northwest. Text Of Hansbrough Resolution as
Amended and Pushed in House by Congressman
Gronna.

The followingsis the text of the resolu-
stion1 introduced AXa Senator GHHansb7rought Il
for the relief Of settlers on the public do
main on account of unusual climatic con-
ditions, or other good reasons:
Resolved. By the senate and house
of representatives of the United States
of America in congress assembled, that
homestead settlers upon the public do
main, in those sections where climatic
conditions and other causes of an un-
usual nature exist resulting in personal
hardship, are hereby granted leave of
absence from their land for period of
three months from the date of the ap-
proval of this resolution. All home
steaders seriously affected BY such con-
ditions or causes shall make application,
supported by affidavit, setting forth the
facts justifying the leave of absence
applied for to the register and receiver
of the districtrinwhieh their land is sit
uated, and settlers granted such leave
shall forfeit no rights by reason of the
absence allowed hereunder:
Provided, That the period of such
actual absence shall not be deducted
from the full time of residence required
by law.
The resolution passed the senate on
the 9th inst.
A Washington dispatch of the 15th, to
the Minneapolis Journal, says:
Representative Gronna today secured
the passage by the house of the Hans
broug h resolution granting settlers in the
northwest leave of absence for ninety
days from their claims, because of eli
matte conditions. The bill as amended
includes settlers in Minnesota, North
and South Dakota, Montana and Wy
oming.
"The senate will accept amendments
and the bill will be rushed to the pres.
dent for signature so that the settlers
who are suffering from the coal shortage
may leave their lands without leopard
izing their rights"
The foregoing gives the status Of the
Hansbrough resolution, which was
amended and pushed through the House
by Congressman Gronna, and it is gen
orally believed that the measure will
become operative at once, and that in
structions to that effect will be sent to
the Dickinson United States land office.
No dispatchs up to Friday noon have
announced the Anal passage of the
amended measure by the Senate and its
signature by the president, but as this
ismerely matter of form there will
undoubtedly be little delay.
The coal shortage referred to in the
Washington dispatch is not on account
of shortage of fuel in the Dickinson dis.
trict; but the past open winters have
made people careless about putting in a
winters supply and the deep snow rem.
ders digging and hauling well-nigh i'm.
possible.
