ENLARGED HOMESTEAD
MEASURE WILL APPLY
In WESTERN SECTION
Now Realized a Mistake Was
Made, Eliminating South
Dakota From Privilege.

Rapid City, S. D., March e.-Advices
received at the local land office from
the interior department Indicate a
favorable attitude toward extending
the enlarged homestead act to the re-
naming government lands in western
South Dakota. 1t seems entirely
that a congressional enact
ment to this effect will be forthcoming
within a short time.
South Dakota could easily have been
included in the enlarged homestead
reg1on at the time the original measure
was enacted, but was eliminated from
the Dill by special effort OF the states
delegation in congress at that time. 1t
is now generally claimed that this
elimination involved very faulty judg-
ment with reference to the welfare of
the western part of the state.
The South Dakota legislature, at the
iast session., adopted a resolution ask
ing that the unentered lands in South
Dakota be listed as subject to the full
section privilege, and such a bill Is
now pending. The bill permits of the
land being used for grazing purposes.
Wlthout the present requirement as tc
cultivation. Persons who have pre-
v1ously taken a homestead of 100
acres are granted the additional right
on these lands to complete an entry of
$40 acres.
In harmony with the suggestion of
the Interior department., Receiver
Harry l.. Candy, of the local land of
nee, Is communicating with home
steaders for suggestions that will help
TO perfect the measure.
