SECRETARY LANE ON THE
ENLARGED HOME
STEAD LAW

of dry land in the western states
in tracts double the size al
lowed under the original home
stead law. Only land which has
been designated" by the secre-
tary of the interior as "non-irri-
gable" can be entered under this
act. More than 200, 900, 600 acres
have been thus designated, but
petitions and sworn statements
requesting further designations
are constantly being received.
In an interview Secretary Lane
calls attention to the fact that
there appears to be considerable
misunderstanding among western
homesteaders as to the procedure
necessary in order that enlarged
homestead designations may be
made. The secretary states that
only the simplest and most direct
action by the settler is required,
and that it is wholly unnecessary
for him to incur the charges now
made by attorneys who draw up
formal petitions that are in fact
no more effective than the home
steader's own letter would be.
On this account a brief statement
of the essential facts relative to
the enlarged homestead law is
timely.
The first enlarged-homestead
act was approved February 10,
1909, and as later amended provid-
es that in the states of Arizona,
California, Colorado, Idaho, Mon
tana, Nevada, New Mexico,
North Dakota, Oregon, Utah,
Washington and Wyomig, any
person who is qualified to make
entry under the homestead law
may enter as much as 320 acres
of public land which is in a rea-
sonably compact body and is non
mineral, non-irrigable, unreserv-
ed and unappropriated, and does
not contain merchantable timber.
Before such entry can be made,
however, the land must be desig-
mated by the secretary Of the in
terror as not being, in his opinion,
susceptible of successful irriga-
ton at reasonable cost from any
known source of water supply.
The work of classifying the land
and determining what areas may
be considered non-irrigable has
been assigned by Secretary Lane
to the United States geological
survey. Although. under the
present ruling of the secretary,
large areas may be designated as
non-irrigable without raising the
question whether the land is in
other respects subject to home
stead entry, the work of examin-
ing and classifying these large
areas necessarily proceeds rather
slowly. In addition to these So
called blanket" designations,
therefore, designations of smaller
areas are made as rapidly as their
non-irrigable character is deter
mined including arers whose des-
ignation has been requested by
individual settlers for enlarged
homestead entry or for additional
entry on tracts adjacent to their
present unprotected homestead
entries.
No definite form of petition is
required. but each applicant
should be limited as for as poss-
ibIe to the specific tract desired
for entry and should contain a
description, by section, township
and range, of the applicants Or
iginal homestead entry and the
date of this entry as we'll as a de-
scription, also by legal subdivis-
ions, of the land desired for ad-
ditional entry. Information as to
the possibility of irrigating the
land should also be furnished and
should include the distance and
direction of the nearest stream or

LaMoure and DiCkey
County Couple Ans
Wer Cupid'S Cali
LA INQUIRE GIRL ELOPES WITH
GLENDALE YOUNG MAN -
MARRIED AT ABERDEEN.

When Miss Cressie Dean of La
Moure came to Valley City to attend
the Normal summer school here her
parents thought she was safe from the
influence Of Cupid but the young lady
thought otherwise and left here to
meet Jack Bentley of Glendale and
the couple were married in Aberdeen
the first of last week and are now
keeping house there. The young man
has a position as mail clerk on the
Milwaukee and is spoken of very high.
" but it seems for some reason the
parents of the girl objected, with the
above result.
In letter to friend here the young
lady stated that she only came here
in order to facilitate the mater of an
early marriage with the man in the
case. The family of the girl live in
LaMoure county and those of the man
at Glendale and those who are &C.
quainted with both families speak
highly of them, and no reason is
known why there should have been
any objection to the marriage as to an
elopement as the young lady is said to
be of age.

Morton County
Well Represented
at Summer Term
Normal Extension.
(The Mandan, News)

Proving again her aggressiveness
and giving absolute proof of the high
standard Of excellence maintained in
her schools, Morton county is better
represented at the Valley City Nor
NAL institutes summer school for
teachers than any other county in the
state except some of those immediate
ly bordering upon Barnes county.
Out of 1875 resident teachers this coun-
ty has rs in attendance at the summer
school, most Of the others already
having certificates and diplomas.
The school was organized in lieu
Of summer Institutes, which were
found bothersome and expensive and
not as result-producing as they might
have been; many counties in the state
have given up the institutes and en-.
listed in support of the summer
school, Morton being one of the first
among them and Mr.. Lorin, county
superintendent, now being member
of the normal board. The school this
year convened July 2 and will end
August 10.

State Board of Public
Health Praises Y. {.

The statistics published by the
state board of health shows that for
the year ending June 80, 1918, three
of the principal cities of North Dako
ia had an average death rate Of PIC
per 1000 population.
This is an increase of 81 per cent
over the death rate of the same cities
for the year ending June 30, 1918.
Still the state board Of health abso.
lutely refuses to enforce the vital sta
tistics law of the state and tries to
keep the people in ignorance of the
true condition as regards the public
health.
The only reason the board gives for
refusing to obey the law, is that there
is no appropriation for that purpose.
The official blue book shows that the
salary of the president of the state
board of health, the attorney general,
Andy Miller, is higher than than of
any state officer, except the governor.
The death rate of several of the cit
les Of the state has more than doubled
during the term of office OF the present
president.
What has he done to prevent this
unnecessary sacrifice of human life?
In the year ending June 30, 1912,
Valley City had 70 deaths, giving a
death rate of $50 per 1000 population.
For the year ending June 80, 1913,
Valley City had 56 deaths, giving a
death rate of 12.1 per 1000 population.
Thus, Notwithstanding a great in
crease in the population, Valley City
had IA fewer deaths than in the prev
ious year and a reduction in the death
rate of 20 per cent.
If calculated on the present popula-
ton the death rate would be much
lower.
DR.. Grassick, former state health
officer, says that the high death rate
of cities in North Dakota is due to
hospital cases.
Valley City with more hospital ac-
commodations than it had before has
fewer deaths and lower death rate.

The Truth About That
$40 Paid to Veterans

Valley City Patriot: The Patriot
is not a stalwart organ but it wants
to say right here, regarding that state
nent relatives to Gov. Hanna and the
$1,000 paid to the veterans returning
from Gettysburg, that it does not be-.
lieve that Gov. Hanna or anyone au-
thorized by him stated that the $40
handed the boys came out of the gov
ernor's individual funds. The $40 was
handed to the comrades by Command
ant Carol of the Soldiers Home, and
it was understood by possibly every
comrade that it was from the fund
provided by the legislatures act for
the purpose of paying the transporta-
ton of the veterans to and from
Gettysburg. The sum allowed for this
purpose was $4,000. There were
about 165 veterans who went to
Gettysburg. The railroad fare one
way was $3.50. This paid also for
the sleeping car fare one way, but
did not include meals, which were
paid by each veteran out of his own
pocket. If any one will take the
trouble to do little figuring he will
lind that 165 multiplied by $3.50, will
make $8,787-leaving a balance Of ST.
123-unexpended. When the state
commissioners found that they had ap.
proximately this sum left, when the
boys started home each one was
handed a SO bill with his ticket. to
reimburse him for his meals both
coming and going and his sleeping
car fare home-the total amounting to
approximately $3.50. The remainder
some $500 was turned back into the
Soldiers Home fund. Who ever start
ed the story that the SO was a dona-
ton by the governor, either did so
from ignorance, or was inspired with
a malicious intent to build founda-
ton for political attack on the gov
ernor, ,#.. ....... .,a ..
Gov. Hanna is a son of a veteran,
and every veteran knows that the
governor holds the old soldiers in the
highest regard, and knows that what
he did at Gettysburg was from the
purest Of motives and through filial re.
gard for the memory Of his soldier
father; and the attempt Of so-called
progressive newspapers to build poll
tical capital out Of the matter is sim.
ply contemplate. ....-.... o..
