MAKE THE LAW PRACTICAL

Hon. Joseph N. Teal's letter
asking the settlers view as tc
the working of the public land
laws should be given attention
in order to assist the Conserva-
ton Commission in arriving at a
correct conclusion and enable il
to make proper recommendations.
That the present homestead law
is far from being practical is not
questioned. How best to remedy
it is matter that concerns every
present and prospective settler.
and should be carefully consider
ed.
The law provides that no pat
ent shall issue until the expira-
ton of three years from date of
entry; that the entryman must
establish actual residence upon
the land within six months after
such date; that he must, begin
ming with the second year culti-
vate not less than one-sixteenth,
and beginning with the third
year Of the entry, cultivate not
less than one-eighth of the area
of the land entered.
Regulations issued by the In
terror Department says "a mere
breaking of the soil will not
meet the terms of the law, but
such breaking or stirring of the
soil must also be accompanied by
planting or the sowing of seed
and tillage for a crop other than
native grasses. The remaining
vacant lands east of the Cascade
Mountains and now subject to
entry, as a rule, lacks sufficient
rainfall to produce agricultural
crops without the necessity of
resorting to the system common
ly known as dry farming" and
the Department of Agriculture,
(an other branch of this same
government expends large sums
of money in support of expert
mental farms where it is actually
demonstrated TO the farmer that
after the first breaking of the
soil it must be persistently culti-
waited for at least one year in or
der to conserve sufficient mois-
ture to produce a crop and that
seeding the soil to grain after
the first cultivation is an absolute
waste of seed, money and energy.
To ask the real homebuilder,
the man with limited means and
nearly always with a family, who
settles on an arid or semi-arid
homestead, to support his family,
build a habitable house, dig a
deep and expensive well, clear,
fence and plow his land, purchase
farming implements, seed grain
and hay for his horses and COW,
haul his wood, etc, ETC., and live
on his claim for three years, with |
the exception of five months each |
year during which time he may
by chance find employment at
ordinary farm wages) when it is
only a source of expense and not
capable of contributing TO the
support Of himself or family, is
next to prohibitory.
Give the poor man a chance;
allow him, say three years after
date of entry TO establish resi-
dence upon the land, require Of
him during that period to file
annual proof Of improvements

BIG REWARD OFFERED FOR MEN
WHO DITCHED TRAIN
Cleveland, O., Dec. 13.-Reward of
$1,000 is offered by Lake Shore Rail-
road officials for capture of train
wreckers who ditched the fast New
England express at midnight one
mile west of Wickliffe, o. Four men
we're seen running from the wreck
shortly after it occurred and wreck
ing tools we're found near.
Steel coaches were all that saved
scores of passengers from death or
injury. Fireman F. F. Rubeck, Buff
falo, was crushed to death beneath
his engine and Engineer Joseph
Lamb, Cleveland, was badly hurt.
The train ran along on the ties
for about one hundred yards, when
the engine went over on it's side and
dragged cars across another track
to the edge of the. ditch. The two
front cars were at right angles with
the ditch, but the coupling with the
remainder of the train held, prevent
ing it from topping into the ditch.
Four mail cars, combination coach
and three Pullmans left the track.
eve were running about fifty miles
an hour, when suddenly the engine
seemed to shoot UP into the air as
if we had hit an obstruction" said
Engineer Lamb. "Steel coaches saved
a more fatal wreck. Just one wood
en- coach sandwiched in between the
other cars would have caused a big
loss in life or injury to passengers"
Lake Shore officials advanced the
theory today that the wrecking was
done in the hope of killing A. H.
Smith, recently elected president of
the New York Central lines. Smith,
on his way to New York, was in his
private car, attached to the rear of
the train. His car did not leave the
track.
