According to the present land oflce

For Leave OF Absence.
In his letter Senrtor Dixon states

senate. which has Leen favorably re-
ported by the committee on public
lands, and which Senator Dixon thinks
should provide relief for those who
have filed on Huntley farm units. The
bill provides for stated leaves Of alb
sence to entrymen under the home
stead laws, and is as follows:
BE 1t enacted by the senate and
house Of representatives of the United
States in congress assembled, that no
entry shall be cancelled
and no final proof shall be rejected be
cause 81 failure OF the entryman
named therein to hereafter actually
reside upon the lands covered by his
entry during the months Of December,
January, February and March, or any
portion Of such months, provided that
nothing in this act shall be SO con-
strued as to relieve b mestead entry
men Of the duty Of residence during
the months not named herein, and the
O0TlOQ OIL 6AdAA ~ SOAAp
to apply upon the period lof residence
resaired under the existing law"
IL the law introduced by the sena-
tor from North Dakota is enacted, then
entrymen who AVE taken lands IN
der the Huntley project VIA not be
forced to take up their residence On
the land until April /, while II the
bill proposed by Congressman Pray 1s
passed they will AVE until May IS.
The bill introduced ny senator
Hansbrough not only meets with the
approval Of the entrymen in this sec
ton, but with the majority OF business
men as well, as they say that home
steaders in many cases do not live on
their homestead anyway during the
months named in the bill, and are N
constant fear OF their claims being
contested.
Senator Dixon in his letter expresses
II as his opinion that Line bill intro
duced by the senator from Nortn ,Da'
kota affords sufficient relief tor the
Huntley settlers, but the chamber q
commerce is endeavoring to get the
time extended until May Is this year

"A Dogs Life."-The only phase of
life in Holland that seems inconsistent
with the character of Hollanders is
their merciless treatment of dogs. AS
shown by Lyman II. Howe's moving
pictures, to be seen at the Illinois Sat
urday, April IS. matinee and night, the
use to which they put their dogs
amounts to positive abuse. Not only
are the dogs compelled to draw loads
to market heavy enough for a small
pony, but they are also required to
pull their master home Regardless of
siez or breed they are often made to
stagger under loads until they lie
down from sheer exhaustion. Here
mans most devoted friend and trusty
companion is compelled to lead a
worse existence than is generally I'M
derstood by our expression, "a Dog
Life" The other characteristics OF
the Hollander's life as shown in this
series are aptly described as sedate
and complacent, yet SO quaint as to be
almost, antique. Theirs is a life OF
solidity. stolidity and simplicity. OF
a more sensational nature are the
