H0MEsTEADERs BILL

CONGRESSMAN Gronna sends the PRESS
q copy of his second homestead bill
which passed the house April s. This
gives opportunity to make second home
steads to persons who, for causes other
than fraud, lost homesteads prior to the
approval of the act. The text of the
bill as it passed the house is as follows
BE it enacted by the Senate and
House of Representatives of the United
States of America in Congress assembled,
That any person who, prior to the ap-
proval of this act. has made entry under
the homestead or desert land laws, but
who. subsequently, to such entry. from
any cause shall have lost. forfeited. or
abandoned the same. shall be entitled
to the benefits of the homestead or des-
ert land laws as though such former
entry had not been made, and any per-
son applying for second homestead or
desert land entry under this act shall
furnish description and the date of
his former entry: Provided. That the
provisions of this act shall not apply to
any person whose former entry was can
celled for fraud, or who relinquished
his former entry for valuable consider
alton in excess of the filing fees paid
by him on his original entry.
Mr.. Gronna says in connection with
the sending of the bill: This bill is
not in the form that should like to
have it but it is more liberal in the
provisions than any bill that has yet
passed the House and if it becomes &
law, it will bring relief to quite num-
ber of people,

REACHING OUT FOR TRADE
= MAnpAn WANTS $. Dunn co,

Mandan Pioneer: The people of
Oliver and Dunn ':"a are very much
in earnest about theaeee Histo. which
will connect with Mandan. ai.eI I!cal So
citizens Of those two counties are work
ing harmoniously on project that will
be q most novel one in this section of
the country at least.
The proposition is to build line
from Manning in Dunn county to Center
and down through the Square Butte
Creek country to Mandan.
Electric lines as conducted in the
East have proven most profitable in
vestment. deriving their receipts from
passenger business alone, with some
express business. In this line from
Mandan north it is proposed to make the
freight business leading factor in con-
tributing to the receipts.
The new Northern Pacific lines as laid
out do not strike this most fertile part
of Oliver and Dunn counties and the
distance to market is so great that
farmers within ten or fifteen miles of
the road would pay any reasonable rate
to have their grain brought to Malldan.
rather than make the long hauls. More
and more grain is being raised in these
sections each year and new farmers are
coming in, making the outlook for such
a line most inviting. With the building
of this line land values. would take a
jump. and the farmers themselves could
we'll afford to invest in the stock of a
line of this character. for their property
would increase in value more than they
would likely invest in the road. Charles
Whitmer Of Yucca. and r. Dunn of
Center, were cut over the route of the
proposed line during the past week. and
they are receiving every encouragement
from farmers and land owners.

Duluth Friends of Henry Truelsen
, the Zenith Coal Co. Man, Send
Artist Out to Paint His Por-
trait for Duluth City Hall.

The following which appeared in the
Duluth News Tribune of April II is very
complimentary to the president Of the
Zenith Coal Co. /: ''
"A movement has been started
among the friends of Henry Truelsen
to present the city with an oil painting
of the former mayor, to be hung in the
council chamber with the pictures of
former mayors Of the city.
A committee consisting of Moray
Cullum, L. B: Manley, president of the
board of water and light commissioners,
and John Gonska, long time friend of
Mr.: Truelson. has been asked to take
charge of the matter. A subscription
list has been started to pay the cost of
getting the picture painted and framed,
which win, no doubt, be signed gener-
ally by the citizens of Duluth.
The desire is to give every one an op.
port,lnity to subscribe small amount
rather than have a few contribute the
full amount. The total cost is not ex-
pected to exceed $500. The subscrip-
tion list states that the signers desire
IN this way 10 express their apprecia-
tion Of the services which Henry Truel-
sen has rendered 10 the city of Duluth
as citizen and as a public official
particularly in securing for the city and
its people an ample supply of pure
water at reasonable rates. thereby
conserving both the health and property
interests of the city and its people,
The picture is to be painted by David
Ericsson. who has just returned from
study in Paris. and he will leave shortly
for Zenith, N. D., where Mr.. Truelsen
is now located. to begin his part of the
work. Payments may be made to any
of the members Of the committee
named above.
The matter has not been mentioned
to Mr. Trueisen. but his friends are
going on the assumption that he will
acquiesce IN their desire to honor him.
Many of those who have been con-
suited in the matter have expressed 8
desire rather to contribute to more
lasting and conspicuous testimonial to
his public services for Duluth by the
erection of a statute in some prominent
part of the city. and such movement
will probably be undertaken later.
They believe that if the people would
show such appreciation of the work OF
faithful public servant. particularly
in his lifetime. it would be an encour.
agement to other public servants to be
faithful 10 the people.
