FOR SECOND HoMEsTEADs.
Monden Introduces Bill for Benefit
of HOmesteaders.

BY request of a number Of readers
of the East Oregonian the following
article which was published some
time ago, is reprinted today. It Is
as follows:
Both houses of congress have pass
ed the bill introduced by Represen-
tative Mondell Of Wyoming permit
ting the making of second homestead
entries
The bill as finally agreed to was
somewhat amended, but in effect II
provides that any person who has
forfeited his homestead entry through
no fault or neglect of his own. or who
was unable to perfect his entry be-
cause of an honest mistake on his
part shall be permitted to make a
second homestead, but under such
circumstances he will not be permit
ted at any later day to acquire title
to the first land which he attempted
to enter. A provision was inserted
in the bill denying the second home
stead privilege TO entrymen who had
sold out.
The necessity for such change in
the land laws is explained in the re-
port Of the house committee, in which
It is stated that in 1889 and again in
1900 legislation of this general char
acter was passed, but the original
bills were not effective, as they were
not carefully drawn.
Many honest homesteaders through
insufficient knowledge of the law.

MONEY EASIER AND MORE Plentiful

Henry Clews OF New York, sees a
hopeful trend in the financial situa-
tion OF the country and in his letter
this week says:
The late panic, like its predeces-
sors, is being succeeded by a period
of pronounced ease in money. This
is a condition which always follows
such financial upheavals as we have
recently passed through.
At such times large sums locked
up in speculative ventures are re-
leased; both speculation and business
contract; credit is curtailed, and de-
clining prices for securities and COM
modities have the effect of practical
ly increasing the supply of available
funds. This tendency toward easier
rates is worldwide.
The Bank Of England once more
reduced its rate this time from to
4 per cent and the Bank of France
from 3h to per cent to conform
to the lower rates of the open mar
ket.
The decline in interest rates in the
United States has naturally been
much more precipitous than abroad,
for the reason that in the last three
months of 1907 the rates here were
abnormally high. Everything points
to continued easy rates in the AM
erican money markets; not only on
account OF lessened demand. but al
so because of the extraordinary ex-
pansion which has recently taken
place in our circulation.
Between the two bank calls of
August % and December 8. a period
of about IS weeks, it is estimated that
there was an expansion of nearly
S275, 100000 in our circulating me-
dium made up of about $4,000, 900
in bank notes, s75.O0O,00 clearing
house certificates, $73.O0O,O0O of ad-
ditionaI government deposits and
$75,000,00O in gold imports This is
certainly not an pverestimate of the
relief extended during the panic: for
the total amount of clearing house
certificates issued in various cities
was considerably above the amount
mentioned and the entire gold i'm
port movement amounted to nearly
800. 900.
II is but proper to remember,
however. that some of these items in
the relief account are being rapidly
reduced. Clearing house certificates
at New York will soon be entirely
cancelled. The government is now
steadily Withdrawing its deposits
from the banks. having recently is
sued its second call of $4,000, 900:
making nearly S2OO0OO0o reduction
since the panic.
Now comes the prospect of our los
ing more or less of the gold imports
since October Sterling exchange
has advanced close to the gold ship
ping point and it is estimated that
at least S20,O0O.0O9 may be shortly

Janut, Now i'm Salem.

Governor Chamberlain, Mayor
Rodgers and other dignitaries will to-
day have the pleasure of shaking
hands with II. ]. NJ. Nikoloff, a Bull
garian. who is on the homeward
stretch of perhaps the longest walk
on record, says the Salem Statesman.
Ni&oloff reached Salem last evening
walking in from Portland. He recent
" reached Seattle on the japanese

Vulnerable dangers for more than
four years. seeing two companions
killed in cold blood by mob in Mo-
rocco, traversing many of the coun-
tries of Europe, Africa and Asia at
81 years of age, Drawing hunger and
cold on perilous mountain passes and
across deserts, and always afoot.
Nikoloff does not expect to return
to his native country before 1915, but
when he does return he will be the
only man in Bulgaria who will hold
the record for knowing the habits and
customs of all the peoples of the
earth, for there will be few countries,
civilized or otherwise, that Nikoloff
will not have passed through in the
course Of his tremendous journey.
Crowned heads, and many of them
have written their autographs in a
big book carried by Mr. Nikoloff for
that purpose. and the great seals Of
many countries appear in the volume
to certify that the wanderer has in
fact visited those places that he
claims to have visited.
The Bulgarian VIII remain in Sa-
lem for couple of days and then
start eastward via San Francisco.
When he arrives in Washington the
signature of President Roosevelt will

traveller. After exhausting the pos
sibilities of the United States he will
go to South America.
Nikoloff IS not only a student of
human nature and of manners and
customs. but he is also an enthusias-
tic seeker after new and rare forms
Of plant life. His scientific attain
ments are great, 1t is said. He is a
well educated man and speaks Sew
eral languages, among which, how
