Remain On Big Case.

case Of Talesman George W. Mckee,
accepted as to cause, and the prose
cution will close its examination of

Propose Changes in
Homestead Laws.

Spokane, Nov. 7-Changes in the
federal land and reclamation laws,
which will affect the entire western
country, are proposed by United States
Senator w. E. Borah Of Idaho, who is
in Spokane on the way to Hodgeyille,
KY, where he will deliver an address
at the dedication of the Lincoln home
stead as a national park on November
9th. He will introduce two bills at
the next session of Congress with these
objects in view:
Reducing the homestead residence
requirements from five years, as at
present, to three years, and
Giving settlers in reclamation pro-
jects titles to the land as soon as they
have fulfilled the residence require
me.,ts, instead of waiting until the
water rights have been paid for in full.
Adjustment of the land laws to
enable development without an op-
portunity for monopoly seems to me
to be the most important legislation
for the west that can be enacted at
the coming session of Congress,
said Senator Borah in giving his plan.
| I believe the homestead law should
be adjusted to provide three years
residence instead eff the present re-
requirements.
q am firmly Of the belief also that
the. reclamation law should be changed
SO that title will be granted to the
settler as soon as he completes his
term of settlement. Under the pres
ent law no title can be issued until
the water rights have been paid for
in full
lsThe result is that the develop
ment of the country has been retarded
and in many instances the settlers
have suffered more or less hardship.
This is especially noticeable IN south
ern Idaho and think it applies gener-
ally to the arid districts Of the west.
Something must be done and | think

After court closed today the de-
fense, in the presence Of Assistant
District Attorney. Ray Horton,
made its showing to the bench for
the reopening of McKee's case on
the ground that it has received new
light thereon since his previous ex-
animation
Talesman Morton is Is years old.
Under the examination by Attorney
Horton he said he was a civil war
veteran, a lifelong republican and
was a postmaster, but that at pres
ent he might be called a socialist.
He subscribed for the Appeal to
Reason, a socialist paper.
Interrogations by Attorney Hor-
ton drew him once to the edge Of
his chair in angry expostulation,
elected several appeals to the court,
got Attorney Lecompte Davis into
the difficulties with the judge and
from time to time threatened the
excellent discipline maintained by
bailiffs in the courtroom.
Morton made number of state
ments, which attracted attention.

ooon and evening last, which was at
tended by twenty men who were Sc
looted bv the commercial clubs Of their
roenective towns and cities, there was
s+arted q movement which means more
far the improvement and development
of Dawson county than anything that
has been done since the county came
Tito existence. The temporary organi-
zation was made permanent, and the
men 50 selected will hold their re-
snective positions until the first annu-
Al meeting Of the Dawson County De-

full Auditorium belonging to that city,

wisdom Of our county commissioners,
who were petitioned by three-fourths
Of the tax paying citizens Of Dawson
county to make a. appropriation to
help defray the expenses for advertis-
ing and exhibiting the agricultural
products of Dawson county at the
Land Products Show.
The county commissioners at their
meeting last Thursday afternoon ap-
propriated $3.50 towards the exhibit to
be made by the state. and $3.50 for the
Dawson county display. This amount
will not begin to pay the expenses at
the Land Show, and the citizens Of
Dawson county are now being solicited
70 raise the remaining funds necessary
Tor the expenses Of the show, which is
estimated at 5000.

League, They will be distributed at
