In a recent interview, Pre-
sident J. J. Hill said: The
Great Northern railroad has
thirty one stations on it's lines
in North Dakota, earning over
800, 600 each per annum, with
thirty weight earning less than
800. 900 but more than $50, 600.
The two together earn$8, Az, 600
a year, which is a record that
far older and more established
communities could not equal.
A state with good soil, good
transportation facilities, splen-
did educational advantages. a
moral and Industrious people
and a determination to work
out success for itself by hearty
cooperation with all that is
helping to develop it, is fact
to be reckoned with. North
Dakota is such a state. There

The candidacy of CA. John

governor has been announced
from that place. 1t is not sur

aspire to the governorship, and
in Mr.. Johnson people of that
section have a candidate who
is in every way qualified for the
high Office he seeks. He has
been a member of the legisla-
ture from that section, has the
confidence of the people there
generally, is personally clean
and above reproach and should
he be chosen for the office of
governor no citizen of the state
would need to fear that the
duties of the office would not
be creditably and intelligently
performed. Mr.. johnson is a

site, and has large following

of personal and political friends.
His public record is like his
private life-clean and above
criticism. The western part of
the state will naturally look
upon johnson 8 candidacy with
that enthusiasm that comes
from local pride and desire to
be fifty represented in the cab
met of the state government.
The section of the country from
which Mr.. Johnson comes has
increased in population until
Ward stands with the first
counties in the state in wealth
and population. Doubtless un-
der all the circumstances Mr..
Johnson will get a surprisingly
large vote in the northern and
western part of the state as a
nucleus from which to carry
on a successful campaign.

Second Homestead Entries.

A law passed by congress and
approved February 8, reads as
follows:
THAT any person who. prior
to the passage of this act has
made entry under the home
stead laws. but for any cause
has forfeited or abandoned the
same, shall be entitled to the
benefits of the homestead law
as though such former entry
had not been made, and any
person applying for a second
homestead under this act shall
furnish the description and date
of his former entry: Provided,
that the provisions of this act
shall not apply to any person
whose former entry was can
celled for fraud, or who re-
linquished the former entry
for a valuable consideration
This law will give large
number of people the right to
make second homestead entry
and is different from former
laws in the important particu-
lar that under this law no
showing is required to be
made as to why the first entry
was relinquished for valuable
consideration. This new law
will do away with large
amount of trouble that has
been experienced in getting
second homesteads under the
old law.
