MONDELL FAVORS
new LAND LAW.
WOULD INCREASE AREA HOME
STEAD AND WIDER TIMBER
ACTS scoPE-PLAN IS ONLY
TENTATIVE

CHEYENNE. Wyo., Jan. 10.--In
recent letter, Congressman Mon
dell of Wyoming says that he be-
believes 1t will be possible to secure
legislation increasing the area of
the homestead and widening the
scope of the timber and stone act.
and is quite hopeful of the passage
Of bill authorizing the commits
sioner of the general land Office to
sell lands within railroad land grant
limits.
He states that permissive law,
leaving the matter entirely In the
hands of the commissioner of the
general land office, will not meet
with the same opposition which a
bill granting the right to buy out
right will encounter. Further,
some arguments can be made in fav-
or of the government disposing of
the lands which are left with rail-
road land grant limits which could
not be made with any force with
regard to the balance of the public
domain. OF course, under such a
bill the commissioner could sell or
not, as he saw fit. or he could sell
certain classes of lands and decline
to sell others.
1t is true that there are un-
doubtedly lands within the limits of
the Union Pacific land grant in
Wyoming that people could not af-
ford to pay $1.25 per acre for, but
If the more valuable grazing lands
were sold it would probably be pos
sible to follow this legislation up
with an amendment by which the
minimum would be reduced.
Mr. Mondell further states that he
does not wish 1t understood that his
320-acre homestead BIN is beyond
question in all its provisions the
best legislation that could be had
on this subject. His idea Is to In
crease the area of the homestead
and in order to ward on opposition
in certain directions he provides
that land containing merchantable
timber cannot be entered under the
law and that not over so acres Of
irrigable land shall be included II
the entry. He thinks this last pro
vision should be Increased to 16t
acres. The bill Is. tentative. Hi
idea is to increase the area Of thu
homestead. and he thinks 1t can b.
Increased to $40 acres without tn,
reveal Of the communication clause
but ne Is doubtful II It could be in
creased to $40

PORTLAND, Jan. f0.--Prepara-
lions for the resumption of the

court in the case of former Con-
gresham J. N. Williamson. It viii
be necessary to have a new trial and
Heney will probably conduct this.
although the point is not settled.
The decision In the Williamson case
does not in any manner affect the
result of the other land-fraud cases,
laIthough the defendants could wish
for nothing better. The, reversal in
the Williamson case. according to
the decision, was the error Of the
presiding Judge relative to the. adj
mission of a document, the method
of conducting the trial, the .fndfct-
ment and other phases not being
crftfcfsed.

CANADA BARS
HAWAIIAN JAPS

VICTORIA, B. c., Jan. 10.--Ad-
vices from Ottawa state that meas
ures are being taken which win bar
immigration of Japanese from Hon
olulu. A new regulation has been
framed providing that all immf-
grants must come direct to Canada
from the land of their birth. or the
land of their adoption. This W.T..
not affect Japanese coming direct
from Japan, but will stop these
from Hawaii.
An Ottawa dispatch says the reg1I-
lation is general but will be used
first to check the japanese from
Honolulu. Under the Lemieux ar
rangement with Japan, the Tokyo
authorities will not object to Can
ada taking any course 1t likes to
prevent Japanese from outside coun.
tries coming to Canada. although
Japan wants to do its own restrict
fng in its own way with the Japan
csc reaching here direct.
Assurance is given that 1t will
restrict, but this assurance Is not
always carried out. This trouble
some question has reached point
that Canada must do on Its own
account all the restriction possible
with the treaty engagements to ex.
clude orisntals and get Japan to dc
the same thing. If immigration /:
reduced to the minimum by these
efforts the people will be satisfied
II not, then the treaty must go.

You are right Mr.. Nelson, the new

Office, but do you put yourself up as the
best qualified man for the Office of clerk
OF court. You run two newspapers, al
though you do not own them; you are a
member Of the Medora school board; YOU
recently had your wife hired as principal
OF the Medora school, and now YOU want
to be clerk Of the county court also, and
have put yourself up as the best qualified
man Tor the place. You certainly need
the job regardless of of your qualifications.
Yes. the new Corners will certainly have
something to say next June about your be-
ing clerk of court. They will also have
something to say about J.. f. Arnold's be-
ing county treasurer aud also J. A. Nc
Gregor being county auditor.

What Make. a Town Grow.

Did you everstop to consider why one town
grows and grows and grows and another
does noto
Various reasons, of course.
But there is always A Reason. There
is generally a reason for everything, saws
the Terry Tribune even woman's opin-
ion.
You know you can take some men and
put them in the midst Of desert and in a
little while they will I've doing things there
that will attract the attention of other men
and out of the most unpromising conditions
they will build up business and win a
success.
Then you can take other men and nut
before them hundred opportunities and
90 away and leave them and come back
and find them right where you left them
not step in advance.
And it is the same way with towns. Some
towns grow and flourish and spread out un-
der conditions that are particularly unprom
ising. They do not seem to possess any spec
ial advantages over their neiehbors, but
every little resource they have is worked to

The States Attorneyship

At the primary election, on June 24th
next. there will he three candidates on
the ballot for the office of states attorney
viz: Geo. H. Purchase, ]. A. Miller and
John keohane. a likeness of these can
didates appear on another page.
All three are residents of Beach. The
latter is serving his second term as states
attorney. having been appointed some
three years ago by the county commissions
ers and elected without opposition at the
last election. ]. 4. Miller was formerly
of SouiX Falls, S. Dak., where he sue
cessfully practiced for many years before
coming to Beach few years ago. Geo.
II. Purchase is the Oldest resident in the
state of the three, having resided in North
Dakota since April 1879; he has practiced
law for 10 years Ave of which have beer
in Billings county
The Chronicle is not advocating the
candidacy of any particular candidate. but
would like to see; the man elected who
would look after the interests of the tan
payers and see that our laws are enforced
The duties of this Office have been shame
fully neglected the past few years.
AT our last general election the question
OF bonding the county to build new
court house at Nedora was voted upon and
defeated; Notwithstanding this fact, the
county commissioners went ahead illegal
ly, and built a new court house erected
Jail and put the taxpayers to large ex-
pense against their wishes. and today we
have building that is inadequate for the
county's needs: building that will be
practically worthless when the voters de-
eide to put up good substantial building.
a stop could have been put to this and
would have been, if Billings county had
had states attorney who was looking af
terthe welfare of the taxpayers.
The county commissioners are not
wholly to blame. They may have done
what they supposed they had a perfect
right 70 do. They are not LAWYERS and
are not versed in law; when they act CON
trary to the statute, it is the states attor-
neys. duty, as the countys legal advisor,
to correct them and put them on the right
tract. 1t is his duty to see that county
officials obey the laws as we'll as others.
AT the present time there is larp.
amount of money being paid over ever
year to live stock protective association.
This is unnecessary; if the stockowners
need protective fund, how about the
farmers? This appropriation TO the stock
men should he done away with. 1t is no
longer needed.
we want an attorney who will ACT;
one who will work for the taxpayer.-
farmers as we'll as ranchers: one who is
LAWYER; one who will attend to the
duties OF the Office and see that the laws
are obeyed.
So when you vote June cath, vote for
the man whom you think will best fill the
bill.

finish and the result is good live town.
Then other towns with all the natural
resources and advantages imaginable hard.
ly make any perceptible progress seem to
stand still and vegetate.
What is it that makes the difference?
Can you guess? =
1t isn't hard to dig up the reason.
Go into the town that is challenging the
admiration of its neighbors by its rapid de-
veloPment and observation-disclosures and YOU
will find it.
1t is not that it has no Knockers 1t is
not that every business man in it wears
wingsand all push together without friction
Oh no. Towns are made up of human be-
ings and human beings are selfish and have
several other faults that do not permit of
absolute pulltogetherism. There will he
little factions and ups and downs. You
can't help that.
But if you look long enough you will find
in wideawake town few men-may be
that the same forces that makes success
of a mans life are operative in practically
the same way on the life of town.
They are large enough and generous
enough to overlook the sneers and knock
ing of the kickers and keep right on push
ing. They know that it is push that builds
up town just as it is push that builds up
success for man.
When you find these little groups of
pushers in a town, you find the town grows
and grows. The majority of the people
are alike in most towns--always willing to
see the town grow-even if it is little
against their judgement that it should.
They are willing to partake of the benefits
even the fellows who kick loudest when
it comes to helping pay the freight
And when the town has good big bunch
of pushers in proportion to its population
that is the town that FORCES ahead and
grows and grows.
1t is only the operation of natural law.
Are you pushing for this town? Or are
you doing some knocking?
