tempt and is unfamiliar with con-
ditions in the region in which he
desires to settle.
In the past few years the adop-
tion of improved methods of cul-
tivation and the introduction of
crops suitable to- semiarid reg
ions have encouraged the settle
ment of lands which a few years
ago were considered valueless,
except for grazing purposes. To
cope with the situation in such
regions no man is SO well quail

cumstances.

SECOND HOMESTEAD ENTRIES

| D.
Congressman Gronna's bill provid.
ing for second homestead entries has
passed the house and will undoubted-
ly pass the senate as it has the in
dorsement of the secretary of the in
terror and commissioner of the gen
eral land Office. The bill is a brief
one, as introduced, and reads as fol-
lows:
Be it enacted, etc; That any per-
son who, prior to the passage of this
act, has made entry under the home
stead laws, but from any cause has
lost Or forfeited the same, shall be
entitled to the benefits of the home
stead law as though such former en-
try had not been made, and any per-
son applying for second homestead
under this act shall furnish the de-
scription and date of his former en-
try
An amendment was incorporated
| preventing those who had endeavored
to perpetrate fraud in any former en-
try from receiving the benefit of this
act.
The intent of this measure is to
| give those who, prior to the passage of
the bill, made an attempt to secure
a homestead, but have failed to do so,
to make another homestead filing.
This legislation is identical in lang
uage with an act passed in 1900, and
practically the same as an act pass
ed in 1889. 1t has been the custom
at intervals to provide that where
homesteaders have been unable to
complete proof and obtain title they
shall be given an opportunity for an.
other trial to make a home on the
public land.
In the committee report accompany.
ing this bill it says:
The necessity for and advisa-
bility of legislation from time to
time providing for second home
stead entries in cases where the
entryman has been unable to per-
feet title to the land covered by
his first entry has long been rec
ognized by congress. In 1889 and
again in 1900 legislation of this
| character was had, and as time
!
passes and the public lands sub
| ject to homestead entry are large
ly in regions where the perfect
ing of homestead entries is sur
| rounded by many difficulties the
| necessity for the legislation in
! creases.
The American homesteader is. (.
constantly pushing forward from
the confines of settlement on to
new lands, and passing beyond
the region of assured and plenti-
full rainfall he has, from time to
time, invaded territory where con-
ditions We're such as to render
| 1t impossible for him in many
cases to retain his land and OBJ
tain title to it. Years of extreme
drought and other conditions
sometimes permanent in charac-
ter, sometimes temporary-have

the struggle, and yet the spirit
/ of the pioneer is so strong in
| the breast of many of these men
4 that after lapse of few years,
| during which time they have been
4 able to somewhat recoup their
fortunes, they desire to again
II make an effort to secure home
on the public lands
These men make the best and
most successful homesteaders in
the regions where conditions are

expense of government inspection and
could be reduced to about 25 or IS
cents per car.
6. There are about eight species
of wheat raised in the United States,
each with its own name and each
graded by numbers. The bill pro.
vides that such grades and species
should be recognized in the beginning
and should be modified only as ex-
perience should demand.
