what the government wants. and
all the government wants or should
want, is bona-fide settler. a man
who is upon the land in good faith
Tor the purpose of reclaiming it and
making it home, and maintain that
two or three years will test a set.
tiers good faith just as efficiently
and completely as five years or 10
years.
"The very fact that he is there. the
fact that he has removed his family
from more pleasant SURROUNDINGS and
environment out into the places where
public lands are to be found, the fact
that he goes there for the nurnose
of remaining through years, meeting
the adversely and the harshness of
the situation, the very fact, I saw.
that he Is there under these condi.
tions Is the most conclusive evidence
OF his good faith, and only upon the
strongest evidence and the most con.
elusive proof ought a mans title be
challenged for good faith after he has
given this evidence of his intention to
reclaim part of the desert.
"The government should have no
desire to hold the public lands if
there is bona-fide settler or a citizen
who desires to reduce them to cultf
walton and to make them taxable and
to bear their proportion of the bur.
dens OF the county and state and ma
tional governments. Therefore the
government should be interested in
the individual who puts forth his ef-
forts and endeavors to reclaim any
part Of the public domain; and instead
of being anxious to know whether
technically every phase OF the law has
been complied with, we ought to be
anxious to know whether or not the
citizen is there in good faith, and i
he is we ought not to search for tech
nical and harsh reasons to drive him
away, but rather should we aid and
encourage and protect him."

Following complaint being made by
a humane officer in Great Falls,
Frank Roth and liver Borschim, both
| OF that city, were arrested last week
| for neglecting their children while in
dulging in drunken sprees. Both men
are regularly employed when not
drinking and are competent wOrkmen,
but for the past month have worked
but little, neglecting their families and
leaving them practically destitute.
They were given severe reprimands
by the court, admonished to mend
their ways, and discharged with
warning that will doubtless prevent a
reoccurrance of their misdemeanors.
Rev. E. B. Skies, of Geyser and

for the best wheat grown in North

exhibition in the Geyser State Bank.

SENATOR BORAH'S THREE-YEAR
BILL FAvoRABLY REPORTED
AND WILL LIKELY PASS.
IMPORTANT PROVISION
New Enactment Would Permit Home
steaders to Be Absent From Claims
for Six Months of Each Year
idaho SoIon Opens Eyes of Eastern
ere in Speech on Subject.

washington, Jan. 24.-By unanimous
vote the senate committee on public
lands today combined and favorably
reported the Borah three-year home
stead bill and the Jones bill granting
homesteaders six months leave OF alb
sence in each year Of residence. AS
the Jones bill is reported, homestead
ers, after the first six months con-
,inuous residence on their land, VIII
be entitled to leave their homestead
for six months in each succeeding
year, the time when absent to be
counted as part Of three years resi-
dence required by law. Thus home
steaders will be able to get title af-
ter cultivation of his land for three
successive summers and will be per-
mitted to be away from his land each
winter. The committee was unaIi-
nous in reporting and it will be called
up and unquestionably will pass at an
early day.
This combined bill is in direct line
with the reform urged by Senator
Borah in his speech last week. So ef-
fective was that speech that eastern
senators stand ready to vote for the
measure. which is framed to facilitate
requirement of title by homesteaders.
1t is believed tnat the bill will pass
without opposition. The bill applies
to enlargement homesteads as well as
16O-acre entries.

When driving across Hawk creek
Sunday evening with his team, Stan
ley Collins suddenly found both horses
fast in the ice, which had given away
beneath the animals feet. The ice
was about 16 inches thick and had
become noneycombed, so the horses
feet merely punched holes through it,
and as the stream was quite deep at
this point, the horses feet could not
reach the bottom and they were
suspended on the ice, which was under
water a foot deep. He was about a
mile and half from his ranch and
had to elave the team and go to the
house for an axe to chop them out.
The accident happened about 1880 in
the evening and at 1915 Monday
morning he had succeeded in freeing
the horses, working most of the time
IN ice and water waist deep. He says
neither himself or the horses seem to
have experienced any damaging ef-
fects from their long, cold bath.

UrQed Immediate Action.

Washington, Jan. 2O.-Not in a
great many years has the senate
given such serious thought to the de-
fects in the public land laws, and par
ticularly the homestead law, as dur
ing the recent speech of Senator
Borah, of Idaho. Nor has the senate
in many years heard so thorough, COM
prehensive and fOrceful a speech on
the public land question as that of the
Idaho senator.
That Senator Borah actually aroused
the senate and impressed upon it
the necessity for amending the home.
stead law was very evident while he
was speaking, for he was frequently
interrupted and received many
pledges Of support from senators who
agreed to vote with him not only to
shorten the homestead period, but to
direct the issuance of patents to set
tiers as soon as they had complied
with the homestead law, whether they
be Upon the open public domain Or
upon government irrigation projects.
The feature Of Senator Borah's
speech that aroused eastern senators
was the showing that our present
land laws and their method Of en-
forcement are annually driving into
Canada thousands upon thousands of
settlers who, with equal opportunities
here, would make their homes in the
United States. Until they heard Sen
ator Borah. eastern senators had paid
no attention to the emigration Of
American farmers to Canada and
knew nothing Of the cause of this
movement. When they were con-
vinced that it was due to defect in
our land laws, they very quickly
promised to join Senator Borah In an
effort to amend the law in way
that would aid the bona.fide settler
and not harass him.
Why They Emigrated.
That part of Senator Borah's speech
which aroused eastern senators wa.
as follows:
According to figures which seem t,
be entirely accurate, 125,000 peopl'
left the United States during the yea
1911 to become residents or citizen
of the Dominion of Canada. 1t Is es
timated by those who are in posi-
tion to know, and l think with reason
able accuracy, that at least 10000 O
100000 of our citizens will this yea
leave the United States and reject tn
allegiance of this republic to becom
citizens of the Dominion of Canada
1t is difficult to determine wha
amount of wealth these people carr
with them into the Dominion, but i
view of the purpose for which they e
and the investments which they max
after they arrive it is safe to say ths
the amount of capital thus taken O,
of this country and into the Dominic
runs up into the millions. Though "
could afford to lose, without any CO
siderable injury, the wealth which
thus taken out of the country, we ca
i'll afford to lose the class of citizel
who are constantly emigrating fro
the United States into the Dominic
They are of the very best class
citizens; they are home seekers; tn,
are home builders; they are develo
ers of the resources of their cOuntr
wherever they are. A willingness
