the men were needed on the drives
which were started again Tuesday
morning from Gateway, B. c.
The river pigs" proceeded to
tank up as soon as they arrived in

became quarrelsome. The finale
came Sunday noon when II husky
men broke into one of houses in
the restricted district and proceeded
to help themselves to liquid refresh

called and when he appeared on the
scene told the men that they would
have to clear out of the place.
The men displayed no inclination
to obey Morley and told him wha'
they would do to him if he inter
fered with their fun. AT this
Ijuncture Morley pulled his guI
and forced the gang to put up thei
hands and walk ahead of him t.
the Jail where he forced them t.

Several reports are circulate'

GOLD MEDAL FOR BEST ESSAY
Prize Offered By Department Of Agri-
culture For Best Composition

A gold medal to the school boy
or girl between the ages of 10 and
is who writes the best compost
'tion, not to exceed 800 words, on
1.-THE repair and maintenance of
|earth roads, is to be awarded by
Hogan Waller Page Director,
Office of Public Roads, United
States Department of Agriculture,
Washington, d. c. All compost
tons must be submitted to Mr..
Page before May Is, 1913, and the
medal will be awarded as soon
thereafter as the compositions can
be graded. The composition may
be based on knowledge gained
from books or other sources, but
no quotations should be made.
After many years experience in
dealing with the public road situa-
ton of the country, it is Mr..
Pages belief that ignorance ON the
subject of repair and maintenance
of roads is as much the cause of
their bad condition as any other
one factor. 1t is expected that the
competition will bring about bet
ter understanding of the subject
of repair and maintenance in the
rural districts.
Many children living in the
rural districts have experienced
the disadvantages of roads made
impossible through lack of pro-
per maintenance and it is expected
that their interest in the competi
ton will stimulate greater Interest
among the parents. Bad roads
have prevented many children from
obtaining proper education anc
have even prevented doctors from
reaching the side of rural patients
in time to save their lives.
Any child between the age
mentioned, attending a country
school, may compete. Only ont
side of the paper must be writer
on; each page should be numbered
the name, age and address of tn
writer, and the name and Location
of the school which he or she i
attending must be plainly write
at the top of the first page. TIL
announcement of the competi
ton has been sent to the superir
tendents of schools in the rur;
J. districts. No further informatio
3 can be obtained from the Office {
y Public Roads. This announces
1t ment should be plain to everyon'
|. and all children will thus start c
basis of equality.

When band of Blackfeet Indians from

tepee village upon the roof of the McAlpin
hotel, Bath st. and Broadway, New York

they did after James Shoemaker, who had
the Indians in charge, explained 10 them

WILL HELP OUT
HOMESTEADERS
Congressman French Plans to Re,intro-
dues Several Bills That Failed
Last Session
PUSH MEASURES DURING SESSION
Cultivation Clause Renewed and Clear
ing to Take Place Of Cultivation
Especial Correspondence

NDPNSlol SOil % 'OiiASh~N/
Washington, d. c., April IL
Three important bills of much in
terest to the homesteader which !
were introduced by Congressman
French at the last session of con-
gress, but which failed CT passage
will be given first attention by Mr..
French at the opening of the APP |
preaching congress.
The homestead law as approved |
in 1912, provides that the home
steader Shall cultivate not less than
10th of the area beginning the
second year and not less than Sth
beginning with the third year of
his entry and until final proof, ex
cepting in the case of the en-
larged homestead law where double
the area of cultivation is required.
The law provided that the secre-
tary of the interior may upon salts
factory showing reduce the required
area of cultivation. Up to this
time the secretary of the interior
has omitted to provide any general
rule by which homesteader could
know whether or not less amount
of cultivation might be accepted in
making proof. In view of this the
law which was intended to benefit
the homesteader is proving very
hard 10 bear by homesteaders in
the wooded sections of all the
northwestern states.
The bill as prepared by Mr..
French proposes that in lien of the
cultivation required, the home
steader may make improvements
such as clashing, clearing, fencing,
erection of buildings, setting out
trees for orchards, cultivation and
other like improvements that will
tend to make the homestead habit
able and capable of production to
the extent of S1.S0 per acre per
year, excepting under the enlarged
homestead act where the improve
ments shall be IS cents per acre.
Another bill provides for the
homestead entry of large area OF
land classified as phosphate land
and withdrawn from entry with
the reservation of the phosphate
deposits to the government, allow
ing the right under the govern.
ment to prospect for and remove
the phosphates but protecting the
homesteader in his rights to the
surface.
The third bill provides for ar
extension of the number of annual
payme hts required by law fol
water fright charges from ten tC
thirty, upon projects completed, il
course of development or hereafter
to be developed, where no annua
payments have been made and ex
tending the number of payments
unpaid to three times the numbe
of annual payments due. The bill
as will be introduced also provide
the same extension of payments t,
owners of private lands but VIII
have purchased water from reclaim
alton projects.
Mr.. French intends to make a
earnest effort to have these meas
ures enacted and will devote cor
siderable attention to them so ths
the homesteaders will undoubtedl
have the benefit sought to be al
complished by these bills in til
near future.
