That New Homestead Law.

For the benefit Of those who may be
seeking information on the subject we
give below the law enacted by congress
for the relief of persons who may have
forfeited their homestead right as therein
explained;
"Be it enacted by the Senate and the
House OF Representatives Of the United
States Of America in Congress assem-
bled, That any person who, prior to the
passage OF this act, has made entry un-
der the homestead laws, but from any
cause has lost, forfeited or abandoned
the same, shall be entitled to the hene-
fits of the homestead law as though such
former entry had not been made, and
any person applying for second home
stead under this Act shall furnish the
description and date of his former en-
try: Provided, That the provisions Of
this Act shall not apply ia any person
whose former entry was CANCELLED foI
fraud, or who relinquished the former
entry for valuable consideration"

More Farmers
Mean Less Sheep
Woolgrowers Make Last Stand in
Central Idaho. Clip Decreases
Eighty per Cent.

While the sheepmen are invading the
ranges in the Salmon river section and
driving the cattle from the country,
writes Lewiston correspondent to the
Spokane Spokesman Review, the story
oil the passing u the sheep industry in
Idaho is told by the estimates OF wool
buyers, which show the wool crop 10
have deprecated more than so per cent.
Not many years ago the central idaho
clip was one OF the important purchases
Fin the northwest territory and buyers
from al sections ffocked here 10 bid for
the 900, 900 pounds annually placed on
the market. The estimates Of buyers
who reached the city lately show the
clip this year will not exceed 10000
pounds.
The two-nile limit law was the first
advance against the sheepmen by the
settlers and following closely were the
advocates oG diversified farming. who
have cut into small farms the broad
/ plateau formerly held by the wheat far
mer and sheepman. but all devoted to
pasture during the winter season, when
sustenance must be furnished away from
the mountain sections.
The advance Of settlement has driven
the stocknlen to the untitled sections re-
moved from transportation and the last
stand in central idaho is now being made
in the Salmon river section. Already
the traffic sheets of the railroad com-
plnies show trainloads OF stock cattle
and sheep shipped to Wyoming and
Montana and within a few years the
frontier stock ranch, with its cordial
hospitality and good cheer to all corners,
will become a matter of history in CEN
tral Idaho.

The Cause-Perhaps.

Pocatello Tribune: How TO account
for the fact that the rainfall in southern
Idaho is increasing each year is diff
cult matter. Here is a theory advanced
bv A. j. Poser, mining engineer Of
Butte, Montana, who is widely travelled
and who bases his conclusions ON the
following observations:
"About six years ago, excessive seis-
mic disturbances in the Western Pacific
ocean and along the Chinese and Japan
ese coasts entirely diverted the So
called japanese current, which in its
n5rthward flow formerly curved east
ward south of the Aleutian islands,
striking the American coast north OF
Vancouver island and thence flowing
south: in its present flow, however, II
follows the coast Of Kamchatka and ST.
IBERIA north to opposite Nome, where il
swings over to the Alaskan coast an'
then south around the Alaska peninsula

n, ,rine charts are being prepared show
ing this new course.

and inhospitable coasts has been plainl.

Just as Oregon, Washington and Van

that is sample Of, what might happen
had AL the farmers used this new wheat.
II wonld mean an addition 10 the wealth
Of America alone by millions Of money,
and would raise the value Of wheat
lands everywhere, making wheat the
best paying crop in the world.
Photographs have been made OF the
new wheat kernel, comparing it in size
with the ordinary wheat. As shown
side by side, the alaska" is more than
double the size the head OF the largest
"blusstem."
May A the idaho college Of agriculture
made lahoratory test Of the wheat and
reported the grains plump and sound
and that il should make better bread
than "bluestem." The wheat also
showed much higher protein content,
making it mere valuable for food. The
chemist, ]. S. Jones, asked iop sample
for milling test as soon as possible, but
Mr.. Adams Is careful OF his seed and
has only one pound OF it out, and that
with written contract with the Oregon
experimental station that il will sell no
seed For this wheat Mr. adams re-
ceiven 1900 per busshel He sold one
pound for 81 to the state. He has an
offer from New York seed nan to
handle the seed. paying him 90 per cent
Of the net receipts. He insisted Gpon
asking what il was selling for, and was
informed s25 a bushel. He declined,
saying il was too much money. and that

asked about this wheat by the spok, s
man Review, said:
Regarding the so-caIled Alaska

knowledge Of its capacity foe yield
From a recent conversation with Mr.
Adams, however, take it that he il
personally willing to vouch for all tina
has been said concerning the grea
yields he has had from it. With re
gard to its chemical composition, we di'
make a chemical analysis Of the whea
hast year, and as far as can be judges
from strictly chemical standpoint tn
wheat compares very favorably witt
. the bluestem as raised in the Palous
country. We hope to he able to make

fully concerning the properties OF tn

Giant wheat, with stalks like midget

Mr. Adams does not care to give out de-
tails OF the discovery OF his famous
( plant which places him along with Lu-
ther Burbank as an originator Of new
ideas in plant life. He has the goods"
and says they speak for themselves.
In nut shell, he has wheat which

wheat as to make the story almost past

that Mr. Adams has been able to secure
an increase of S221S fold.
With but one head OF the giant wheat
in the tall of 1904, Mr.. Adams planted
the seeds from the head, and the next
year secured seven pounds of the seed
He sowed that pounds OF spring VIII, a

POLL TAX QUESTION.
Mr.. Clement Answers Inquiries In Regard
to SUPREME Court Decision

Assistant Attorney General
Clement in reply to letters of in
quiry regarding the construction
Of the Supreme Courts decision on
the poll tax question, says that
the court holds that the State and
county poll tax cannot exceed 50
and no city or town can levy a
larger sum.
He cites the courts opinion iu
the Mecklenburg county case 80
the county commissioners can I'M
derstand it fully when when they
meet. He says: mo other or fur
Their capitation or poll tax than So
can be levied for any purpose.
Thus all statues levying property
tax aud poll tax combined in ex-
cess Ct 50 are invalid. This de-
cision does not effect the poll tax
levied IN connection with the pen
sion tax, that beng a State tax
end combined with the other tax
does not exceed So. The county
commissioners in levying taxes
for the present year will therefore
eliminate all special tax on polls
aud levy the usual 50 as construed
by the Supreme Court in the case.
This decision in no manner effects
tie poll tax levied by the State
but only requires tl1.t all s2ecia.
poll taxes levied by county Cum
missioners in excess Of So are void
