AMENDMENT TO HOMESTEAD LAW.

Complaints continue to reach this
Office regarding the new three-year
homestead law. The strongest Oh
lection is that it requires too large All
amount Of land to be cultivated each
gear. Many homesteaders are not in
position to cultivate the required
amount. The law as originally pas
sed made it necessary for the home
steader to notify the land office wheth-
er he would prove up under the old or
the new law. If lie did not do so. he
was compelled to prove up under the
new law. This weakness was soon
eeen and All amendment was secured
during the closing days Of the recent
session Of congress whereby the fail
ure of IL homestea'ler to notify the
land office did not compel him to
prove mp under the new three year
bill. This applied, Of course, to the
man who had already started to i'm
prove homestead under the old five
year bill. As the law now stands, rs
The Twice-a-Week Spokesman Re-
view understands it, the homesteader
may prove up under either law he
sees fit, without notifying the land
office. The three-year bill was drawn
to aid the man who was able TO cult
vate a large amount of his land and
who wished to do so in order that he
might secure title, and thereby offer
his land as security for loan to be
used in further improving his home.
The man who is not able to cultivate
such large amount of land each
year, but who Is willing to spend Il
longer time OH the land before max
ing proof, may prove up under the
cid tive-year law. Thus it will be
seen that as the matter now stands,
each class of homesteaders is accom-
mudated.
This applies. Of course. only to
those who made entry before the
three-year bill went into effect this
year. All those making entry since
that time must make entry and proof
under the new bill, which allows
them to prove up in three years il
they wish. They may have five years
il desired. Spoke Review.

ultimately dominate the mining

The first union started outiwith

organized what became known as

down over the end of the lever, then
up and around the work and back
along the top of the lever and around
the opposite end. where it is fastened
to the stud on the underside. The OBJ
ject Of throwing the strap around the
end of the lever rather than to fasten
it at the end is to insure a maximum
amount of pull on the strap with a
minimum strain where it is fastened to
the stud. Use this device like any 9th
er pipe wrench. To release the wrench
for another pull simply pull it away
from the pipe far enough to allow it
to loosen its grip and begin for the
new pull by simply repeating the first
operation. The end Of the strap must
not be taken from the stud after it is
adjusted until the operation of turning
the pipe is completed.
With the use Of this wrench an even
strain is placed upon the tubing on its
entire surface without any possible
danger of marring or crushing it.
With a few trials the work can be
done as quickly as with an open pipe

THE ART OF SlDE-STEPPING.

The campaign speeches made by
Woodrow Wilson, the democratic
presidential candid ate, demonstra ate
that he is an artist In the stunt known
as "side-stepping." He has made
casual reference on a few occasions to
the initiative, the referendum and the
recall, and 1t appears he is against
these things in some states, and for
them in others.
Within three weeks Governor Will.
SOD has taken three positions as to the
tariff and reform of the schedules.
He first declared that q protective
tariff Is q dam; that duties restrain
American productivity and trade and
hurt the laborer and the manufacturer
in protected industries; that patrio-
tism and equity should inspire Ameri-
cans to do what in them lies to des-
troy protective tariffs speedily and
utterly.
Governor Wilson next svowed that
1t is furtherest from his thought to
reform the schedules except with :the
utmost elaboration and caution. He
confessed that this country has no
room for the free trader who would In
9 single generation undo the sup
posed injustice inflicted by the pro.
tective policy.
Last OF all he has acknowledged that
it is useless to talk about abolishing
duties OF imports, however they may
strangle industry and commerce, be-
cause the government has to have the
revenue from q tariff on foreign goods.
The governors first declaration Is
that of a free-trader, the second that
of q believer only in the most gradual
and cautious modification of the policy
OF protection, and the third that of q
friend of tariff for revenue with In
cidental protection.
What Is Governor Wilson, q free
trader OF q protectionist? The coun.
try knows what President Taft is-a
low protectionist. It knows what Mr..
Roosevelt is-a protectionist who
wants too high duties lowered by
the findings of q permanent commits
sion on the tariff. But we cannot tel
what Governor Wilson ia, nor can hit

d'Albe, lecturer IN physics at Bir-

locate light by sound. Sunlight is said
to roar, while moonlight makes a gen.

Millions Of Pennies.

Despite the fact that the west sees
comparatively few of them, the United
States mint at Philadelphia turns out
annually about 60, oo0, 600 pennies, or
o%ne-cent pieces according to an official
OF the treasury department. Where
they go. nobody can tell, but 20 they
do, and the supply has to be replenish-
ed every year.
The latest issue OF Lincoln pennies
went like hotcakes for several months
after their issue and many thousands
of them have been stored away for
souvenirs. The post Office Is probably
the greatest User of pennies in the
country. Every Office has to keep a
supply on hand in order to make
change for stamp buyers, and accord.
ing to postal authorities more pennies
pass daily out of stamp windows than
come in by that route. The majority
of stamp sales are email, and usually
the change calls for pennies. On the
other hand, the average small pur
chaser of stamps rarely hands ovel
the exact cost Of his stamps; he hands
in q larger piece and calls for change

with rivet heads we'll sunk below the
