8 Year BILL
May PASS
New Homestead Bill Passed
House. Goes to Conference.
1t Makes Residence
Shorter and Easier.

Washington. D. c., March H. The
house today passed the three-year home-
stead bill. This IS Senator Borah's bill,
which already has passed the senate.
The bill was amended by the house
committee on public lands, adopting
some of the features of Representative
Hanna's bill. The bill now goes to
conference and is believed to have a
good prospect of final passage.
Under this bill the presence of entry
man or of his family on the land for
seven months in each calendar year,
will be held as sufficient to constitute
residence. In the case of Communication
for IA months, actual residence as now
required by law must be shown. In the
event of death of entryman the heirs
will not have to complete residence but
must keep up the improvements.

WANTS TO CHANGE LAWS
RICHARD DAnLkE WRITES
Taylor, March goth.

Taylor, March 2Oth.
Editor:
In answer to Mr.. Caspar Hirsch's letter
in the Volksfreund of March 9Th,
would like to say that it is not all Yam
KEGS who are in favor of changing the
present herd law in Dunn county. Dunn
county is no longer a ranchine county
as we all know and those who are real
ranchers have their own land mostly,
and it seems::only that it is certain class
offarmers who do not work enough to get
feed for their stock, that are against
tie hstd law petition that is being cir
culated among the farmers now.
Now, which is the cheapest in the
end-to put up little more extra hay
and not burn your straw piles so that
you will have feed enough to keep your
stock at home. and not have them
destroy your neighbor's haystacks and
make enemies for yourself, or to turn
the animals out on the prairie and have
some cut up in the wire fences and
some 60 astray. It takes valuable time
in the spring of the year to look up es-
trayed animals and advertising fees
have TO be paid.
Our county is nearly all farming land
now, and everybody needs what little
hay land he has left for himself.
Therefore think everybody should
sign this petition against the present
herd law in Dunn county, whether Mr..
Hirsch calls it the Yankee Petition
or not. 1t makes no difference who drew
up the petition so long as it,calls for the
things the farmer wants.
Respectfully ours.
r. j. Dahlke.

contract was let to Thomas Powers.
and on June II, 1911, the corner stone
was laid. A large number of people
were present at 2 O'Clock in the after
noon for the impressive ceremony.
Rev. John Dignam read the blessing and
Senator L. A. Simpson gave the ad-
dress, Frank Lish laying the corner

L. Richards, Dr.. ". H. Stickney. Dr..
J. w. Bowen. B. H. Crawford and L.
H. Nichols, Rev. Fr. John Dignam
representing Rt. Rev. Bishop Wehrle.
1t should be stated here that before
any definite plans were taken looking
10 the erection of the hospital. the mat.
ter was taken up with Rt. Rev. Bishop
Wehrle, who gave it his hearty approval
and without his assistance and counsel
lat various times since it would have
been impossible to have obtained the
building. II has often been said that
the good Bishop. was builder and he
has again demonstrated it
No one deserves more credit than
Rev. Fl. John Dienam, pastor of St.
Patrick's church. who has spent great
portion Of his time the past year al
the hospital, carefully watching every
step Of the work as it progressed from
day to day. He too has shown himself
to be possessed of unusual executive
ability and acting 40 the personal rep
resentatiye Of Bishop Wehrle he has and
still carries sreat responsibility in the
matter. It was Fr. Dilnam who first
pointed out the need and feasibility Of
q Sisters' hospital at Dickinson and
arranged an audience with the Biahop
in reference to the matter.

E DEDICATION CEREMONIES

DEDICATION CEREMONIES
People will assemble outside the
hospital at 8 O'Clock: St. Joseph's
band will discourse music. The Bishop.
assisted by Fathers Dignam and Groet-
schel. will dedicate the building, walk
ing around the exterior. accompanied
by the altar boys Of St. Patrick's
church. the choir Of ST. Joseph's church
answering the responses. On. entering
the hospital special choir will sing
hymns suitable to the. occasion and
the dedication addresses will be given
by Bishop Wehrle, Senator Z. "A. Simpa
son. Attorney !. 2. Casey and the
doctors of Dickinson. Il b ty D..
After the blessing of the walls, the
people will be allowed to 60 inside and
inspect the hospital and listen to the
addresses. Those who wish to see the
hospital should embrace the opportunity
Sunday afternoon. as it will be impos-
sible to admit the public for general
inspection after this time. i
THE HOSPITAL
The dedication of St. Joseph 8 hospital
in Dickinson on Sunday, March 81. will
mark one of the most important events
in the history of the city. It is nearly
two years since the matter Of Sisters
hospital was first discussed. and now
the stately edifice on the eminence
just three blocks north Of the public
library is ready for patients.
1t is an absolutely flre-preof struc-
ture, 3-story brick, slate roof. modern
in every particular and better than
any hospital this side Of St. Paul. In
fact. it is impossible to construct any
thing more sanitary and better arranged
for the care Of. sick even in larger
cities. Therefore it should be with
special pride that our citizens speak Of
the new Sisters hospital. which is not
only for Dickinson but for the country
tributary in every direction for so to
100 miles.
From q humanitarian standpoint a
modern hospital in the central portion
of Western North Dakota will prove q
great blessing. 1t has been long recog-
nized that Dickinson has physicians
skilled in medicine and surgery and
many in the past have said that. they
would have been glad to have come
here instead Of going to eastern cities
had the hospital accommoda been
right. So the PRESS contends that
many lives will be saved BY having an
institution Of this. kind located mid
way between Glendive. 100 miles west.
and Mandan and Bismarck, 100 miles
east, which are the nearest cities con-
tanning accredited hospitals s
The Sisters hospital was not desikn-
cd with any special reference to beauty
Of architectural lines but solely fol
utility and comfort Of patients. How
ever, the front. extending $50 feet
east and west, is imposing and give.
one the impression Of permanancy. Thu

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all it's stages and
that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure is
the only positive cure now known to
the medical fraternity. Catarrh being
a constitutional disease, requires con-
stitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
IRE is taken internally acting directly
upon the blood and mucous surfaces of
the system, thereby destroying the
foundation of the disease, and giving
the patient strength by building up the
constitution and assisting nature to do
it's work. The proprietors have so
much faith in it's curative powers, that
they offer One Hundred Dollars for any
case that it fails to cure. Send for list

ECONOMY THE WATCH WORD.

Judge Williamson in his address to
the county court made special men
ton that on account of the tax assess
ment decreasing instead of increasing
during the past two years it was up to
them to keep up all necessary repairs
only until there was change. Other
wise it would mean getting in debt as
to the general fund. He further added
that if bridge building was discontin-
ued for two years tie interest on the
fund could be paid up, and hence it
would soon be an easy matter to build
two bridges where it is difficult to
build one. The court made no appro-
priations for further expenditures, and
hence it is hoped that economy is the
slogan from now on, until the debts of
various kind which hang over the
county is removed. This will certain
ly prove joyful news to taxpayers,
who are growing nightly
