Mr.. ]. w. Williams was down from
Dearfield to make his final proof on
his homestead, s. W. n Sec. 81, T. 4,
N. 81 w. p. NJ. Mr.. Williams is the
second one to prove up. One other
has given notice for proof and hve
others are eligible to prove up. Mr..
Williams has been offered $4,000 for
his homestead and says II 1t is worth
that much to the man who has never
lived on the place II is worth $4,000
to him as home He was one Of the
first settlers in Dearfield and went
through hardships and made sacrifices
that no other settler will have to un-
dergo, as conditions are growing bet
ter each day for the people In Dear
field. Now that we have a town. at
our door. it will not be long before a
homestead in Dearfield will be as
comfortable and convenient and ac-
cessible as one within five miles Of
Ecnver 1t is hoped that all settlers
will make good and secure. their
homesteads by rigidly following tho
law and doing Just what the law says
In making their homesteads their per-
manent homes. Dearfield has some
five and ten-acre tracts which can
and will produce as much as $4,000,
the amount offered Mr. Williams for
his home with such large lake upon
It. We cannot afford for any Dear
field settler to fail or lose his home

lessness, ignorance or shiftlessness.
We are again warning them to stay
on their lands the required time be.

fIict of all history. And each time that
the question is asked it is more diff
cult to venture even a guess in the way
of answer; which is of course, in
way, an answer itself. Unless some
thing unforeseen takes place it still
looks like long war. Probably it will
be best for all concerned in the long

y patched-np peace easily might lead
To even more deplorahle consequences
than fight to the finish now.
Last month, at the time Of practical
deadlock, it seemed, in view of the
fears, the suffering and losses of the
mass of the people on all sides, that
opportunity might be tai ken with good
enect by the United States to urge
mediation even more forcibly than had
seemed wise before. The opportunity,
ct course, is always open, and n sudden
turn of events may give some such
action the promise of being a factor
