The room is full to suffocation, with an

PRESIDENT BACKS DOWN
ON HOMESTEAD UKASE,
Order '.Reissued," Which Will Give
Homesteaders More Rights
Than Under Old Order.

President Roosevelt has backed
water on his recent land Office
order which prohibited the is
suance of final Ger tifcates on all
land taken under the U. S. laws
until a special government officer
has personally inspected the
claims and made his report.
A telegram has been received
by the register and the receiver
of the Cass Lake land office
modifying the order of Jan. rs
to such an extent that in effect it
is really rescinded. The tele-
gram read as follows:
"Since there is some uncer-
tainty concerning the meaning
of the order of Jan. 25 relating
to the issuance Of evidence of title
under the public land laws, I re,
issue the order in the following
more specific form: To facilitate
the final disposition of proper
applications for patents and to
prevent the fraud now practiced
in the acquisition of puplic lands
of the United States, l have to
direct that hereafter no final
certificate, patent or other evi-
dence of title shall be issued un-
til an officer authorized to make
field examinations has made such
examination or has obtained in.
formation of equivalent value.
"This order, however, shall
not be taken to affect or modify
the following: Final fve-year
homestead entries heretofore
made when the proof is salts
factory and complete, homestead
entries cOmmuted on ceded In
dian land in which annual pay
ments are required, entries
where claimants compliance with
law has been esta blished by con-
test or other adverse proceeding
and entries in which no resi-
dence or improvement is re-
quired by laws when the lands
EN- braced therein are situated in
non mineral localities as shown
by the records of the geological
survey or when their character
has been fixed by, Investigation
and classification made in accord
ance with law. This order is to
replace my order of Jan. 25.

SIXTH NORMAL SCHOOL

real Importance.
A state normal school is the
peoples school to instruct the
girls and boys who aspire to
teaching, how to proceed and be-
come efficient in the work Of a
teacher. 1t is not high school,
neither is it a university, but is a.
common professional school, hav-
ing for it's direct object and pur-
pose the education Of persons to
teach. Such school should be
brought to the people, rather
than compel the people to 60 to
it, because it is not only cheaper
but highly advisable to have it
there. ,..a-.
This idea is prominently work
ed out in such states as New
York, which, with an area of less
then $4,000 SO. miles, has four
teen state normal schools;
Pennsylvania with $1,000 square
miles, has fourteen state nor
mails; Massachusetts,, with over
5000 square miles, has nine state
normals: Wisconsin, with $4,000
square miles, has seven normal
schools; while our own state. with
ten times the area of Massachu-
setts, has but five state normal
schools. The idea is not only to
provide the same opportunities
to- the aspiring youth Of the less
favored portion, but to fit him to
become efficient in the service of
his neighborhood. =, -+,..'
