from the fact that G. F. Morris and
F. w. Hall are both popularity known
here and both vitality interested in
the progress and development of the

HOMESTEAD LAW-BIG BENEFIT TO WEST

The issue of The ENTERPRISE of
February Gath contained the en-
larged homestead bill but by request
it appears in our columns again to-
day. The bill became law when
President Roosevelt signed it Febru-
ary 10th. 1t follows:
Be it enacted by the senate and
h ouse of representatives. of
h e United Statesof America
in congress assembled, that any per-
son who is qualified entryman un-
der the homestead laws of the Unit
ed States, may enter, by legal subdi-
visions, under the provisions of this
act, in the states ofColorado, Monta-
ma, Nevada, Oregon, Utah, Wash
ington and Wyoming, and the terri
tories of Arizona and New Mexico,
$50 acres, or less, of non-mineral,
non irrigable. unreserved and unap-
propriated surve ed public lands
which do not contain merchantable
timber, located in a reasonably COM
pact body, and not over one and one
half miles in extreme length. Pro-
vided, that no lands shall be subject
to entry under the provisions of this
act until such lands shall have been
designated by the secretary of the
interior as not being, in his opinion,
suscepti, lie of successful irrigation at
a reasonable cost from any known
source of water supply.
Sec. g. That any person applying
to enter lands under the provisions
of this act shall make and subscribe
before the proper officer an affid ,vit
as required by section $500 of the
Revised Statutes, and in addition
thereto shall make affidavit that the
land sought to be entered is of the
character described in section one of
this act, and shall ray the fees now

retary of the interior shall find that
any tract of land, in the state of
Utah, subject to entry under this
act, do not have upon them a suffic-
lent supply of water suitable for do
mestic purposes as would make con-
ti4.uous residence upon the lands
passible, he may, in his discretion,
designate such tracts of land, not to
exceed in the aggregate 100000
acres, and thereafter they shall be
subject to entry under this act with
out the necessity of residence; provid-
ed, that in such event the entryman
on any such entry shall in good
faith cultivate not less than one
eighth of the entire area of the entry
during the second year, one-fourth
during the third year, and one-half
during the fourth and fifth years af-
ter the date of such entry and
that after entry until final proof
the entryman shall re side within
such distance of said land as will
enable him successfully to farm the
same as required by this section.
This 800 acre law will probably
not go into effect for sixty or ninety
but just as soon os THE ENTERPRISE is
apprised of the date, our readers will
be given the information.

STATE LEGISLATORS MADE
GOOD FINISH ON LAST LAP
THE ELEVENTH LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY ADJOURNED SINE DIE
LAST THURSDAY AT MIDNIGHT BUT MEMBERS La
BORED UNTIL DAY LlGHT-.-MANY BILLS PASSED

The legislative session of the ele-
venth legislature of Montana legally
ended at midnight last Thursday, but
the session did not end in fact till the
morning of the next day. Both
houses remained in session, whether
legally or not, till the early hour of
Friday morning and many of the
members did not get home till long
after day light.
The closing week was the busiest
week the legislature has had. The
h house was in session every evening,
the senate transacted it's business so
eXpeditiously that it's sessions were
confined to the afternoon almost
throughout, however the situation
was different in the house, where
there was over $50 bills intro
duced during the entire session. On
ly eighty-three had reached the gov
ernOr for his signature on Wednesday
the day before the close of the SEES
sion.
The miscegenation bill became a
law last week. Among the other bills
signed by the governor were the fol-
lowing: The bills to add wings to
the capitol, to give the state statistic
al bureau a publicity department,
many appropriation bills for the sup
port of the state and it's institution, a
number Of deficiency bills and some
private claims. The governor vetoed
the local option measure. andthe veto
was sustained by both houses.
Among the bills passed by the leg

ing: Dividing cities and towns
into wards. Prohibiting the sale of
cocaine excepting on a prescription

SMITH AND PARKER

with grand larceny was tried last

horses, June 5th, 1908, belonging to
c. E. Hess, living 20 miles north of
SacO and run them into North Oak ota
Mr.. Hess missed the horses the morn
ing after they were stolen from the
pasture and followed the trail fol
about 60 miles oruntil he was salts
fled as to the direction they were
| being driven. He then went to
Glasgow and put Sheriff Small and
deputies Calderwood and McNeal
on the track of the thieves with the
result that Smith and Parker were
found at Crosby N. d., with a large
band of stolen horses and were
arrested. F. E. Stranahan, repre-
senting the state board of stock
commissioners, ASST sted County At
torney Dignan in the prosecution and

defense. The case ended rather
abruptly Wednesday afternoon, Park

CONTROVE OVER WATERS OF
ST. MARYS AND MILK RIVER SETTLED

So much interest has been taken
by our readers in the United States
Canada controversy over the division
of waters that they will doubtless be
pleased to read the following which
appeared recently in the Montreal
Gazette. The question seems to be
finally settled and the decision will
result in the work being pushed on
the irrigation prof ct:
In regard to streams which flow
from one country into the other, the
common law principle is established
that when interference with them
by one country results in injury in
the other, the injured parties shall
nave legal remedy as if the injury
took place in the country where the
cause originated. This provision
does not, however, apply to cases al
ready existing nor to cases covered
by special agreement, nor shall it
prevail against any right of either
country to object to what would be
productive of material injury to the
interests of navigation. Special
provision is made in regard to the St.
Mary and Milk rivers, and their trib-
utaries in the state of Montana and
the provinces of Alberta and Sas-
katchewan, the waters of which, tax
ing the two streams together, are to
be equally apportioned between the
two countries for irrigation purposes.
Each party also agrees not to con-
struct works affecting the level of
waters in the other unless with the
approval of the International Joint
commission, the creation of which is
provided for. The commission is to
be composed of three representatives
