For Congress

There are three candidates seek.
ing the nomination to congress on
the republican ticket in this con-
gressional district who are remarka-
bic statesmen in more ways than
one. First on the list is Chas. H.
Burke, of Pierre. who has so ably
represented this state in the lower
halls of congress during the past six
Dr. more years. His record in the
House has been a creditable one in
every particular. He is one of the
men who is known all over the
United States to be absolutely above
the reach of criticism touching his
integrity or his loyalty to the inter
ests of the public. He is a man of
excellent ability. and m indefatiga-
bic worker. With the experience
he has had during his six or more
terms in the house. and his perfect
familiarity with all the intricacies
of national legislative methods, and
with his extensive acquaintance
with public men, and the important
positions he holds in committee
work. and the strong friendships he
has formed, he will be able, during
the coming term. to he of still
greater service to the people of
South Dakota than ever before.
The people of this district and state
are fortunate indeed. to have such a
man as Chas. n. Burke to represent
their interests in the councils of the
nation and they will show still
greater wisdom in their INSTANCE
upon his continued service. Clear

7 DRAWS CROWD
interesting Speeches by a Num-
Der of Members

A large crowd attended the Com.
mercial Club smoker Tuesday night,
and enjoyed a number of interest
ing talks by members. Apples and
cigars were furnished by the club
officers. The audience was favored
with a couple of college songs by
Bayard Christ and VIM Saltmarsh.
Mayor Ghrist's subject was a new
city hall. He stated that such a
building as the city should have
could not be built just at present,
but that it would not be many years
until the city is able to put up a
good, modern city hall. The city
now owns two lots on West second
street.
E. +. Waite made a report for the
eommit.e selected by the club to at
tend the Mitchell Pierre railroad
meeting; told of the organization
there and then perfected, and the
raising of an expense fund of $1,000
to continue the field work of get
ting subscribers.
Dan'l Walsh also talked upon this
subject and about the Aberdeen
builders meeting. He stated that
HiRhmore, Pierre and Blunt Com
mercial clubs had contribused 500
for the expense fund, and asked the
Miller club to do the same. A
motion to that effect was carried.
Fred Greene gave a very interest
ing talk on his recent trip to Florida
and Havana, describing the country
and people, and points of historic
interest.
w. j. Halloween talked upon oiled
streets, and was of the opinion that
it was entirely practicable fer Miller
to adopt this method in place of
sprinkling with water to keep the
dust down. He will investigate
further as to details and report at
another meeting.
A. II. Churchill taxed upon trad
ing at home, and the interest each
citizen OF the community has in do
ing all he can to advance the well
fare and prosperity of his town.
He gave illustrations of his state
ment that IN many things goods can
be purchased right at home as
cheaply as at any other place. One
of his best points was this: 1t is ex-
tremely foolish for any local pro-
perry holder. business man. me-
chanic or Iaborer to help build up
the big cities. and thereby destroy
small towns and local markets. A
big city means congested power.
wealth and monopoly. MANY small
towns and cities means numerous,
competitive markets, and valuable
farm lands.
Music was expected from the re-

OF INTEREST
TO HOMESTEADERS
Provision for Three Years Resi-
dence in New Law

Washington. March 28.-Settlers
OH Indians lands, as well as those
on the public lands generally, in
Minnesota and the Dakotas, will be
able to secure patents for their en-
tries within three years after entry,
upon the approval OF the amended
homestead act. which had previous
ly passed the senate and was acted
upon favorably by the house yester-
day. This applies to existing en-
tries as well as those made here.
after.
Under the terms of the bill ordi-
nary conditions of weather. settlers
will not be obliged to begin actual
residence upon their lands for six
months after they make entry. In
Ease of unusual weather conditions,
such as long and severe winters,
floods, etc, they will not be obliged
to take up actual residence for a
year after entry is filed.
An important factor of the legis-
lat'on is that permitting settlers be-
ing away from the lands five months
in each of the three years of resi-
dence, In the last four or five years
the northwestern representatives
and senator's have had to secure
legislation permitting settlers in
their states to be absent from their
lands during the winter months and
the absence feature in this bill will
meet conditions that have confront
ed homeseekers in the northern lati-
tudes. without further special legis-
lation.
In the new law a feature of the
residence requirement is that the
entryman shall have a 'habitable
house upon the land" In constru-
ing the old law, the land Offices
have had trouble in deciding what
constitutes a real habitation, and it
is believed that this provision will
be a help both to the officials and
the settlers.
One argument put up in both the
house and the senate in favor of the
enactment of the new law that it
would tend to prevent the exodus of
farmers from the United States to
Canada. In the latter country set
tiers are enabled to obtain title to
lands after three years residence,
and this is believed to have been
one reason for the emigration of
farmers across the line.
Other than the three years actual
residence. with five months leave of
absence in each year. the require
ments for obtaining a home on
Indian or public lands, are the same
as at present.
If an entryman desires to CON-
mute his entry. he will be required
to maintain fourteen months actual
residence on his claim, as at pre-
sent.
The law is to take effect immedi-
ately on approval bv the president.
