A NEW HOMESTEAD SUGGESTION

a NEW HOM ESTEAD SUGGESTION
Bro. Gunderson of the Hulett (Wyo.)
Globe presents a new idea in connec.
tion with existing land laws, and while
at first glance it seems radical and rath-
er startling, closer study of the propo-
sition makes it seem much more reason.
able. He says:
Permit a suggestion: Make the
homestead laws liberal toward the actual
settler and hard for the speculator; make
title encumbent upon improvement and
residence; cut out the cash entry clause
and limit no man to one homestead en-
try, but let him take homestead as
often as be can complete Ave years resi-
dence, good cultivation and respectable
improvements upon one. Today, and
all along, Congress puts the premium
upon the shiftless and careless man.
About every two years they pass law
restoring homestead entry right to the
man who has lost, forfeited, abandoned
or relinquished' his former entry, but
restores nothing to the man who sticks
it out and makes final proof. Place the
premium on the man who fulfills his
contract-the man who has made good.
Again, Congress restored second entry
right to the man who paid cash, but not
so to the man who toiled, sweat, and
probably went hungry to hold onto his
land and fulfill the plan of real develop
ment of the country.
"Most emphatically this writer be.
lieyes that there should be no limit to
the number of homesteads a man may
take, provided he makes full and exact
proof upon one before entering another,
That would be conservation; that would
be development; that would be progress
that would encourage man to try and
it would mean homes and loyal people,
schools and churches, and civilization
What do you say"
The idea of giving a homesteader an
unlimited number of entry rights is
unique, and yet under the conditions
laid down by the Globe it is hard to see
how it could do the country any harm.
Certainly three or four farms honestly
improved and decided by one live, pro.
gressive farmer, who had sufficient faith
in the country to devote fifteen or twenty
years of hard labor to acquiring them,
would be better for any community than
the same number of quarters commuted
by adventures and turned over to
spectators.

BIG GAME LICENSE
Good in One County 0nly--Peculiar
Discrepancy in the Wording Of
Statute and License.

Deer hunters, who 20 to the county
treasursr's Office to secure big game Ii
censss are confronted with telegram
from State Game Warden w. s. Ban
croft, which reads as follows:
PIERRE, S. D., Oct. "a, 1911.
COUNTY TREASURER,
Rapid City, S. d.
Big game licenses are good only for
the county in which licenses are pro-
cured. Please advise all applicants ac-
cordingly.
(Signed) w. 8. BANCROFT,
State Game Warden.
The license costs S. and sportsmsn are
somewhat confused by the apparent dis
crepancy between the instruction given
by the Game Warden and information
contained in the license itself. The Ii
cense reads: "The bearer is hereby Ii.
censed to hunt anywhere in this state
until the first day of July, 1912"
The statute provides that deer can be
hunted and killed only during the month
Of November and that hunter is en-
titled to but one buck.
The instructions of State Game War
den Bancroft are based on the clause of
the game law, regarding the procuring of
a license, as follows: "Such license
shall be procured from the county treas
urer of the county in which such person
desires to pursue, hunt or kill such ami
mails"
The inference from the above as ap-
parently construed by Warden Bancroft
is that sportsmen, who wish to hunt
deer must secure license from each
county where they may chance to pur-
sue the game.
The patent ambiguity in the reading
Of the license and the statute may lead
to considerable annoyance.
A man living near the county boun-
daries of Fall River, Custer, Penning-
ton, Meade or Lawrence would need, at
least, two licenses if he intends to hunt
deer lawfully.
The question also arises where game
is being followed by tracking or has
been wounded, whether or not the
hunter can cross from one county into
another to secure his game on one Ii
cense.
Obviously the statute and the license
on which it is supposed to be drawn are
loosely worded. 1t is not believed that
the Legislature intended to make law
which would prove hardship on the
people Of the state.-Rapid City Journal.

There is big acreage of winter wheat
in South Dakota this fall, and this is a
most encouraging fact. The winter
wheat crop is matured and in the stack
before the dangerous weather of July
and August, and those who have grown
this grade in the past have done we'll
with it. The heavy rains this fall have
made the prospect for it brighter than
usual.-Argus-Leader.

CATTLE.
Receipts this week fell a little short
of last or the corresponding week year
ago but they were heavy enough to bring
the months total up to last years record
breaking figures. Naturally the market
suffered from the big run especially as
eastern beef and cattle markets were re-
ported in bad condition. Strictly choice,
dry lot beeves have been very scarce
and do not show SO much decline but on
the ordinary run of both corn fed and
range steers prices are off 25 90 40c for
the week. Best natives brought $7.35
but bulk sold around $3.50 "a $500.
Best rangers brought $500 but bulk sold
at $4.75 @ $3.50. Cows and heifers were
hit fully as hard as beef steers and the
range is practically from $2.75 to $3.50,
the bulk of the fair to good butcher cows
around $3.50 "a 1925. Veal calves,
bulls, stays, etc., are also shade lower
for the week. Stockers and feeders
have suffered decline of 20 "a 4Oc and
a good many remain in yard traders
hands at the close. The supply has
been too heavy in the present depress-
ed condition of the beef market and de-
mand from the country has been disap-
pointingly small. The general tone to
the market was very weak at the close. o
