BllLlNes- GOLDEN VALLEY
DIVISION TROUBLES

The county boards of Billings and
Golden Valley counties were trying to
effect a settlement this week, but up
to a late date the commissioners seem.
ed far from it. Attorney W. F. Bur-
nett, who is assisting Attorney J. K.
Swihart. spent most of the week at
Medora, and he was inclined to think
on. Thursday that a suit would necessar.
lily be started against Golden Valley.
1t will be Billings county's first move.
However, things may have taken a
different turn on his return to Medora.
1t seems that the new county does moi
want to assume any of the $50. 900 seed
grain Indebtedness; then there is the
$6, 900 dipping tank Indebtedness ant
nearly as much more on account ol
damages in laying out new roads which
Golden Valley wants to leave on the
parent county.
The Glass murder case goes 10 Bow
man for trial. Court opens there on the
18th. and it is supposed that some O.
the lotion cases will also be- movet
for trial during the term.

Dinsmore broke the long record by
breaking II straight, but Ray. who shot
in the next squad, broke IS straight. 1t
was an ideal day to shoot and it looked
as though either Dinsmore or Ray would
get perfect score. Both were hitting
their targets hard and with ease.
The Gun Club is now nicely located on
their new grounds. The back ground is
considerably better than on the old
grounds and some good scores are ex-
pected. From now on the shoots will be
attended regularly by most of the men,
bers, so as to be in shape to enter the
tournament held here August 18TH and

Can Get $40
Acre Entries
Secretary Lane Has Designated 13o
ooo Acres in This Part Of State
For 32o-Acre homasteads
File June 18th.

Senator A. j. Gronna sends the
PRESS copies Of letters transmitted to
him by franklin Lane, secretary of the
interior. regarding public lands in wes-
tern North Dakota. The letters show
that 100, 600 acres are to be designated
on June 18th that will come under the
provisions of the enlarged homestead
act. However, Senator Gronna. who in
troduced the bill in the senate more
than year ago, which provided tn at
the enlarged homestead act should be
applied in North Dakota, wants gen.
eral designation so that all the remain
ing public lands may be taken in 800
acre tracts. This would be desirable
to hundreds of settlers, but it seems
from the following letters from Secre-
tary Lane that only about 13O, 900 will
be designated on Thursday, June 10Th
with further reference to your letter
of April II, 1913, regarding the status
of enlarged homestead petitions in
North Dakota:
''On May 20, 1913 the assistant Sec
retary of the interior approved designa-
tion No. 229. North Dakota, No. 1,
which includes about 100, 600 acres of
non-irrigable lands in the western part
of the state. The lands so designated
will be open to entry under the enlarg-
ed homestead act on June 19, 1913.
This approval affords basis for act
ion on over 800 petitions. the majority
of those pending. The individual pe-
titioners will be notified of the action
taken by the department in the near
future.
Very truly yours.
