NO WORD OF OPPOSITION.

The Republican has not heard one
providing for the sale of isolated
tracts up to 640 acres within the linn
its Of the railroad land grant. Some
friendly criticism in the way of
amendment has been made hut no one
desires its defeat, so far as learned.
Ii there Is opposition 1t is entirely UNI
der cover.
Under this measure it would be pos
sible to put in private ownership every
foot of the lands in the grant that
have been subject to homestead entry
during the past thirty years, a con.
summation %devoutly to be wished. The
disposal, under the Mondel bill, is left
TO the discretion OF the commissioner
OF the general land office, and no one
person can buy more than four zee
tons. This will prevent the big fell
lows" from getting 1t all. 1t has also
been urged that no person who has
purchased can again hold by purchase
or assignment under the act. The
fact that the lands may be paid for in
ten annual installments of 121kc per
acre, without interest, will make it
possible for n poor man to get hold
and hold on.
The Republican would like to see a
purchase act of that nature, only
broader In scope, applied to the graz,
ing lands of this state and the entire
west, but perhaps IL Mr.. Mondell's
bill becomes a law it will work so
beneflcially that its extension will be
demanded by the people outside of the
railroad limits and independent of the
law relating to the sale of isolated
tracts.
There Is no boon for which a man
will strive and work like the boon of
private ownership, the building up of
a home for himself and wife, and his
little ones. While a lease law would
go a long way toward settling range
disputes and toward permanence in
the stock business, it would not give
to the settler that sense of security
a purchase plan would give. With
each succeeding year he would have
a stronger footing and finally the land
would pass into his actual ownership
with all that it implies.
Precedent for such an act is ample.
For half a century the government
not only sold grazing lands, but the
finest kind of agricultural land for
sl.25 per acre, and the annual pay
ment plan has been adopted in pay
ing for the irrigated lands under the
reclamation act, the period being ten
years.
The bill relating to the sale of iso-
).ted tracts of $40 acres, now pending,
will be watched with great interest,
not only because of its own value, but
also because of the precedent hat it
will establish.

Pattern For Boys Shirt Waist Designed by
May Manton-No. 1916

Every boy requires shirt waists, and
usually a generous number is found neces-
sary for his happiness and well being.
Here Is model that can so easily and
readily be made at home that 1t is quite
certain to win approval The tucks at the
front give quite the effect of a grown
mans shirt, while the box plaits at the
back relieve the severity at that point. 1t
Is appropriate for the wash flannels, per-
Gale, madras, linen-indeed. all materials
that are used for boys waists-and the
advantage found in making at home and
fitting to the special figure Is sure to
more than compensate for the slight
amount of labor involved. In this In
stance white linen is finished with roll
over collar and worn with soft tie.
The shirt waist is made with the fronts
and the back. There is regulation box
plat at the front. and there are regular
shirt sleeves with openings and straight
cuffs. The roll over collar is Joined to
the neck. and the high one is entirely sep
arate and attached to the neckband by
means of buttonholes and studs.
The quantity of material required for
the medium size eight years. is 2h yards
or IN yards IS inches wide.
