Grubstake Bill to Permit

"a proposed law which, is pass-
ed by congress- win be Of im-

Cling homesteader with small

tive Lobeck of Nebraska, which

rately to each man for one-half
of the land.
The purpose of the bin, st is
understood, has the endorsement
of some Of the big railway sys-
TENS and is now under favorable
consideration by several trans
continental lines interested in
the development of the large
western areas of the public do
main. Secretary Hening of
New Mexico Immigration Bu-.
reau has received a copy of the
proDOsed bill and If is believed
the bureau will fully endorse
the idea upon which the meas
ure is based. Westerners are
familiar with the difficulties
which beset the average home
steader who tries to make a liy-
ing off his land during the first
two years. Generally he is con-
frOnted with the alternative of
leaving his family on his claim
and hunting outside employment
to tide him over, on must take
4 leave Of absence, which pro
longs the time which must elapse
before he gets his patent. BY
allowing two men to enter joint
~ on 100 acres Of irrigable land
or 800 acres Of desert land it is
pointed out that no chance would
be taken of the misrepresentation
Of the public land. Develop
ment would be moreover made
possible Immediately
There are probably hundreds
Of claims in New Mexico lying
idle because the entrymen have
no means whereby to support
their ami lille developing
the land. 1t is impossible for
the entryman to raise any cash
on his claim and he must needs
struggle along as best he may
until he has secured his patent.

States laws make express pro-
vision for this grubstake" plan
in the case of mineral lands and
the hackers of the proposed bill
declare there is no reason shy
the same principle should not
apply to homesteads. With the

A delicious duchess soup is made
from this formula obtained from
Boston cooking teacher: Cook two
slices each of carrot and onion in a
tablespoon of butter until the onion
yellows. Then turn in a quart of
white stock and blade of mace and
cook quarter of an hour. Strain the
soup and add two cupfuls of milk and
thicken with two tablespoonfuls each
of butter and flour blended together.
Season with salt and pepper and stir
in at least four rounded tablespoonfuls
of grated cheese. Cook couple OF
minutes and send to the table.
