WHO'LL Do THE. AANC|N'?

Bismarck Special: Shall the warden
of the penitentiary or the sheriff of the
county wherein man is convicted of
murder carry out the law and hang the
condemned by the neck until he be
dead? This is the question which Gov
ernor Burke has put up to the supreme
court under provision of the Statute
long mouldy with disuse. Robert S.
Noah, from Ward county, and Joe and
Charles Peltier, of Bottineau county,
are now in the penitentiary awaiting
the dates of their execution, but the
step taken by the governor is of little
interest to these men, inasmuch as it
relates only to the question as to
whether the warden or the sheriff of
the above named counties shall do the
hanging.
In deciding the temperance commits
sioner law unconstitutional, the gu,
preme court in effect declared that
county officers had certain duties in
herent in their office under the consti-
tuition which could not be delegated by
the legislature to another official. This
has aroused question of doubt in the
whether he has the right to hang any
oHe uHueI JIG present StatuCes WMcn is
comparatively recent, and under which
one man, John Rooney, had already
paid the penalty at the state institu-
tion. Governor Burke has sent the
transcript of the Noah trial to the
supreme court under the provision of
section 10, 116 of the statutes, and
asked an opinion on the validity of the
penitentiary hanging law, which de-
cision will also effect the case of the
two Peltiers.

.PRIcE OF PURCHASED HoMEsTEADs.
The price Of the land is 50 per acre,
payable one-third at the time the en-
try is made and the balance in two
equal annual installments, with interest
as 5yper cent. If the purchased home
stead is within nine miles of the origin
al homestead the residence conditions
will not apply. .g .--.'
To summarizes:
The new homesteader-that is, the
person homesteading for the first time
can secure homestead and pre-emp-
tion if he homesteads in the limited
area in which prescriptions are grant
ed; or he will be entitled to purchase
second homestead after securing title
for his present homestead-this is three
years hence.
The person who has already had
homestead will be able to buy q second
homestead for So an acre, subject to.
settlement conditions, IN the area set
forth on the map. II his homestead is
on the presumption area he can pre-
empt, in place Of purchasing, but as
the price is the same, it comes to pret-
ty much the same thing. It is tho pro-
vision for the purchasing Of second
homesteads that is Of direct interest to
the farmers Of the three provinces.
The new law is effective Sept. l.

NEW DOMINION LANDS ACT
Many Misconceptions to Nature and Scope of New Measure
Within Area Defined by Bill Homesteaders Can Pre-
empt or Buy Additional Quarter at So Per Acre.

/ The person who has not hitherto
homesteaded, but who now wishes to
apply for homestead. will have much
wider choice than formerly becaus all
the odd and even numbered sections
owned by the government are now
open for homestead entry.
The requirements for homestead en-
try are practically the same under the
new as under the old law-residence
for six months in each of three years
and erection of a habitable house. The
area to be cultivated is not specified.
It is to be such las is satisfactory to
the Minister. ;" The reason for this is
that some farms may present greater
difficulty in clearing brush or stone
than Others, and allowance is made in
administration for these facts. Resi-
dence on the farm of relative within
nine miles of the homestead is accepted
by the Act as residence on the home
stead, and failure on, the part of the
homesteader to apply for letters pat
ent within five years of date of entry
makes his right to the homestead liable
to forfeiture.
,t' PRE-EMPTION PROVISIONS.
The pre-emption and purchased
homestead provisions apply only to an
area specially set apart for the pur-
pose. Nor does it apply to all the pub
lie land in this area. The territory is
further limited.
First no township is open for pre-
emption or purchased homesteads until
it is designated as available for these
purposes by the Governor General-in-
Council, which means, in effect, the
Minister of the Interior. Presumably,
the government will announce, at an
early day the townships which are thus
open.
There is a second very important pro-
vision which applies to pre-emptions,
but not to purchased homesteads. The
right to obtain pre-emption entry shall
not apply to- any township in which
eight sections have been accepted by
any railroad company as part Of it's
grant. This provision practically con-
fines the rightsof premption to the less
desirable townships. In each township
there are 16 odd numbered sections
that have beon available for railway
selection. If the railway company has
not selected eight sections from the
township the inference is that the
township is Of inferior quality. It will
be found in practice that the pre-emp-
tion privilege will apply only to
stretches Of country where the land ,is
light. The idea Of the government is
apparently, to give settlers sin these
districts an opportunity to q secure
farms Of $40 acres, as it is held that
100 acres under the soil conditions in
dicated would Mnot be sufficient for 4
