EARLY EASTER THIS YEAR

Wednesday of next week marks
the beginning Of Lent, when all
those who adhere to the Lenton
calendar will cease their social
activities until after Easter, which
falls on March % this year. All
one has to do is to look at the
calendar to see that thesocial sea-
son this year is one of the shortes
on record, andall due to the fact
that Lent begins on February 5,
the earliest since 1918, and will
not ocur again for 81 years-or
in the year 1000.
The latest Easter of the nine
teenth and twentieth centuries
was in 1859 when it fell on April
"a. In 184S and 1905 it occurred
on April %. Last Easter was on
April 7.

BURTON L. FRENCH'S LETTER
TO SECRETARY OF INTERIOR
Strong Appeal Made to that Department Behalf Bill
Introduced by Our Congressman to Aid
Homesteaders.

to reduce the area required to be
cultivated as he may do under the
law.
Homesteaders do not look with
Favor upon spending year or a
few years endeavoring to work
out home, to be met in the end
with decision that they have not
performed such acts as will meet
with the approval of the secre-
tary of the interior. What the
settlers want is something definite
to which they may work and the
difficulty of fixing something de-
finite that will apply to condi-
tions in north Idaho with equal
ease as to conditions in south Ida
no and conditions in other states
Of the west, is wholly apparent,
unless unit of measure be pre-
scribed aside from acres cleared
and under cultivation. Ten acres
might be altogether too large an
area to be cultivated in a single
year in one locality, and too small
an area in another. An acre for
the purpose of demonstrating good
faith cannot be regarded as a I'M
it of value.
The amendment that have pro
posed prescribed Improvements of
no less real value than is Guilt
walton, but the entryman is given
latitude in the improvements that
he may make. Our best lands in
the west have already passed into
private ownership. Much of the
land that remains can at this time
contribute only part to the sup
port of family, if divided into
units that may be acquired under
existing laws. Most of the lands
that rae available can furnish a
complete living only by patience,
industry, and thrift, upon the par
of the homestead entryman and
his family.
Ii, however, 1.-THE remaining Ian
can be brought to condition I'M
der which they will contribute
something the first year to the
homestead entryman and a part of
the livelihood of the entryman dur
ing successive years, a condition
ought to be maintained by our
government that will permit this
use of the public lands to be
made.
You will notice that in the
amendment that l have proposed,
| have suggested that the improve
ments each year should aggregate
$3.50 per acre, excepting the i'm
provement upon lands entered un-
der the enlarged homestead law
in which cases l have suggested
that the improvements should be
not less than IS cents per acre.
1t is understood, of course, that
the enlarged homestead act has ap-
plicatlon only to lands that are
not regarded as worth entering
under the general law and in
rough way it has been suggested
that two acres of the land in
question should take the place of
one acre of land under the gen.
eral law.
think that my suggestion as
DO amount of improvements re-
CURED of each entryman is equit-
able and works no disadvantage
to the one over the other.
/ hope very much that it may
be possible for you to look with
favor upon the measure and | be-
lieve that its passage will mean
for the relief of the homestead
settlers throughout the west.
Yours very truly,

CHICAGO AT LAST is
ROUNDING UP GANG
OF AUTO BANDITS

CHICAGO, Jan. 21.-Arrest and con-
fession early today of Frank Nadia, the
fence of the auto bandits led by James
Perry, was expected by the police to lead
to the capture within few hours of Rob
bert (Teddy) Webb, named as the last
bandit at liberty and the murderer OF
Detective Peter Hart.
Webbs sweetheart, Miss Isabelle Hast
lngs, held in cell since Webb outdid all
daring of the auto bond by slipping in
side the police trap at 1917 Wabash ave-
nue. and killing the man set to catch
him, was in Mysteries today. She told
Captain LAWN where to find Nadia and
gave information about Webb's hiding
place.
Nadia, owner of a garage where the
bandit autos were kept, was brought in
on Miss Hastings story, and taken to
the office of Attorney Abraham Adelman,
admitted he had purchased six diamond
rings from James A. Perry.
That Webb was under arrest last Sun
day night and set free without bail was
the surprising discovery made early today.
Three hours after Webb's release he muir
dered Detective Hart.
Webb was charged with running his
bandit car without a tail light, but the
police who arrested him failed to rec
ognize him and permitted him to leave
the Harrison street police station on his
promise to return to court Monday.
