the present district court room, for
the present, was suggested by MI.
Burke. He declared in most empha-
tic terms that there should be a
branch Of the county court here.
"Look how easy 1t would be for our
officers to reach the city hall to tes-
tify when wanted" said the chief.
He claimed the time thus lost would
be so little that it would hardly be
felt and night men would not have
to stop their regular police duties,
excepting when their services might
be desired on more than one occa-
sion in long cases.
AS an instance, Mr.. Burke de-
clared today the city was without a
detective force this week and hat all
important branch of work was tenn
porarily at a %standstill because De-
tectiye Sergeants Huf and Long
were spending the week at New
Brunswick. They attended court
there Monday and yesterday, are
there again today and may be there
for some time to come, the chief
states. He also pointed to a recent
incident when twelve police officers,
almost half Of the working force Of
the city, were summoned to New
Brunswick to spend practically a day
to testify in the case Of a habitual
drunkard. Concluding. the chief
said he knew OF no other municipal
branch which would be benefited as
much by a branch court house here
As the police department.
Mr.. Burke and the detective SER
geants declare the officers lose from
fifty cents upwards a day when they
attend court at New Brunswick,
owing to payment for carfare and
lunch. They claim the very smallest
loss to them would be thirty cents a
day, and they must eat.
s. e. Shull.
S. z. Shull, superintendent of the
public schools, heartily approves the
proposition and thinks the only OBJ
j~ectionable feature Is that the
whole county seat cannot be re-
movede to this place. II think
If we cannot get the whole
thing wa had better get what we
can" he said. He thought the ex-
penditure of 100000 for the cul-
limitation of the project would be a
minor expense In comparison to the
great good to the taxpayers in this
part of the county which the branch
court would bring about.

WILL FACILITATE
HOMESTEAD ENTRIES

For the past year or more pub
ic lands in the Western States
ave been designated by the Sec
'etary of the Interior as subject
. entry under the so-called ei-
Arged- homestead act, or the 32C-
lcre homestead act, only on peti-
ion of those who desire to avail
themselves of the provisions of
his law. This procedure was an
utgrowth of the desire of tie
Department to designate no lanCs
which were not actually enterable
lnder the law in question. In o.
Ter to accomplish this the status
# each tract had to be investig:-
ed to determine whether it wss
already entered, was school sec
ion, was involved in State Sc
ection, or for any other reason
had been taken out of the cla' S
If "unappropriated" public lano
which alone are enterable und, r
his act. This search meant tn;
With the meager force available
TO the Department only slow pro-
gress could be made in the desig-
nation of lands for entry under
his law.
Soon after the passage of the
lct lands had been designated
for entry under it in 2 body with
put regard to their status, the
only questions determined by the
Department prior to designation
being that the lands were sur
veyed, unreserved and nonirriga-
bile. Under this mode of proce-
dure designations can be made
with comparative rapidity, the
availability of the lands for en-
try being determined by the ap-
plicant when he visits the local
land office to file upon his claim.
After the abandonment of this
early procedure the law was eX-
tended to apply to North Dakota.
The rule designation by petition
has been followed in that State,
and the resulting delays have
proved embarrassing both to the
Department and to the citizens
of North Dakota, as well as to
those of other Western States.
At the suggestion Of Senator
Gronna Secretary Lane has re-
Gently decided to revert to the
earlier practice and designate
the lands in large bodies after it
is determined that they are non
irrigible, as required by the law.
He has accordingly issued appro-
pirate instructions to the Geolo-
gical Survey, which is charged
under the Department with the
preparation of the lists of lands
enterable under this law. This
change will have the effect of
greatly expediting the designa-
ton Of lands under this law.
