There are unmistakable signs

being passed along from mile

Nothing, however, is more
convincing than an assembly of
facts and figures to back any
kind of a statement, and Finan-

ing able to present from its own
reliable correspondents an au-
thoritative symposium of pro-
gress in many kinds of business
during the first three months of
the year 1915.
Hundreds of thousands Of men

HoMEsTEADERs TREATED


Speaking Of the marked change
in the western policy Of the de-
partment Of the interior under the
present administration which is
beneficial TO settlers in Idaho and
other states, a prominent home
steader near Idaho Falls is quot
ed in the Times, published in that
city, as saying:
1T is pleasing to all western
people to note the marked differ
ence in which settlers upon the
public domain are being treated
under the present administration
when compared with the recent
past.
Under the regime of Clifford
Pinchot, as chief forester, and j.
R. Garfield, the secretary Of the
interior, every homesteader was
looked upon with suspicion, and
was fortunate if he was not Of
ficially designated as anything
worse than a 'land-grabber.'
"Since the Democrats came in
to power an entire change in the
treatment of the western home
builders has taken place.
This administration recog-
nizes that those who go out upon
the public domain to make per-
manent homes are entitled to ev-
cry encouragement in their en-
dcavors.
Several new laws for the re-
lief Of settlers were enacted dur
ing the last session Of congress.
This more considerate and
really sympathetic spirit shown
toward western homebuilders is
largely accounted for by the fact
that the interior department al
the present time has a western
man, thoroughly conversant will
the needs of this section of The
country, at its head.
For years past l have main
tanned that, no matter what par
ty might be in power, the ives
should unite in demanding tha
the secretary of the interior
should come from its section O
the country.
1.-THE average eastern man wht
fills this most influential posi-
ton, in nine cases out of ten il
governed by theory instead o
practical knowledge of conditions
"Some of them have tried {,
really learn what was needed b.
western people, and in such cases
il has invariably happened tha
just about the time they we're be-
coming cOnversant with the ives
they were superseded by SOM
new politician who had to be ed
ucated all over again.
Under the present admins
tratiOn, the western settler ha
had no just reason to complain
against the treatment accorde,

A MEXICAN women would be more

The women OF the United States, supe-

the lessons is so essential as that to
which have just referred-living on the

All OF the movements Of the women
OF Burmah, when in their homes, are

ing. They sit upon the floor to dress
their hair. They squat while drawing
something from one Of the low shelves
in their homes. They stoop to sweep
their floors, TO dust their furniture,
to serve tea or sweetmeats. And when
the grand festival was given to me in
Burmah, and fifty girls danced the ma
tional dances for me, noticed that their
typical movements were those Of but

this curious statement Of mine

on the floor at night. Your muscles

you loosen and stretch your muscles by
such an exercise as have shown in the

arms before you upon the floor and rest
the head upon first one, then the other.
This must be slowly and carefully done

strained.

Bridge Proposition

Conn issioners ButoIph and Leach
Viewed Proposed Bridge Over the
Cannonball River at Solen

Commissioner W. W. Butolph
was here Tuesday on his way home
from S"lr1,, whore llc and Commits.
sionrr Leach. together with Com.
missioner Don Stevenson of Morton
county, looked over the matter of IL
bridge across the Cannonball river.
Chairman Stiles was unable to be
present ON account of the bad roads,
but Commissioner Leach went TO
Mandan to talk the matter over
further with the Morton county
board who have agreed to pay half
the cost. No definite action has
yet been taken, but it is expected
that a special meeting will be held
in the near future at which the
commissioners will decide il the
financial conditions of the county
warrants building a bridge thrr"
and at other points in the county
this year. II appears to the
Pioneer HAT in view OF the Tact that
only a small amount of money can
br raised for bridges through taxa-
tl"n. at pr sent, Il special election
bc called for l|lc purpose OF voting
Sl5,OOO or 50, ,(nm bonds for roads
and bridges to run 20 years. This
will be cheaper than paying I per

tion to discount. The response
bilily for creating the indebtedness
would rest on the voters il the |on,ls
carry, and il the proposition is de-
Iratrd il would be evident that the
taxpayers do not favor better roads
and bridges at this time. and this
will settle the question ior IL year
or two. Discussion OF this question

32O Acre Claims
Open To Settlers
Nearly 300 Quarter Sections in Sioux
County Subject to Enlarged Home.
stead Entry at Fort Yates

Maps showing lands opened for
homestead entry on the Standing
Rock reservation were received a,
Fort Yates the first OF the week
from the general land office at
Washington.
There arc about 3O6 quarter
sections open to homestead entry
on the reservation in North Dako-
ia, and in every case where two
quarters adioin, the land is dcsig-
mated for enlarged entry, which
means that the homcsleadcr cam file
ON 32O acres.
All the land within the rcscrva-
tion in North Dakota is i'm Sioux
county, and applications for same
can be made at Fort Yates before
I. $. Commissioner johnson or
Clerk of Court Wells until May II.
On May I'D at the t. s. Land office
i'll Bismarck the applications will be
determined, and i'm eases where
there is more than one application
for the same tract drawing will In
held to determine which entry shall
be- allowed. Unsuccessful appli-
cants are allowed 80 days from rc-
ceipt of notice of the register of
| the land office to select other lands.
Sioux county was organized last
September, and new settlers will
have the advantages OF schools, can
organize civil townships, establish
roads and have all the advantages
cnioycd by citizens OF the Older or
ganlzcd counties in the state. The
land open is located between two
old settled communities, and is sit
uated between the Missouri and
Cannonball rivers. 1t is the center
OF the best grazing land and corn
belt in the state. The main line
and the Standing Rock branch OF
| the Milwaukee railroad runs through
! shc reservation from east to west,
and the Northern Pacific Mott
branch skirts the reservation IN the
north. This is the last chance to
secure homestcads in the west, only
one larger tract remaining in the
United States to be opened for
homcsteaders, and that is located
in the state OF Washington.
Lands entered or filed upon prior
to- August 10, must be paid for at
the rate of SIS per acre; those enter
cd or filed upon on or after that
date and prior to November 19, at
$3.50 per acre; and those entered
or filed upon after November 80,
$3.50 per acre One fifth OF the
/ price must be paid at time of MAX
ing application in addition to the
usual filing fees.
No hcttcr opportunity to secure
a half section of land in the
best farming state in the Union was
ever offered. The homcscclicr will
make no mistake in locating in
Sioux county, North Dakota, tho
land of sunshine and prosperity.

WHAT WILL THE
PEOPLE OF VALLEY
e. I CITY DO ABOUT IT ?

What is wrong with the trees of Val
ley City? They are very seriously
infested with dangerous scale. We
have hundreds of beautiful shade
trees which will be destroyed in few
years, at most, unless very definite
steps are taken to rid them Of the
cottony maple scale.
II any one will take the pains to ex.
anime the branches of the soft naples
or boxelder, he will find the old last
years scales with the cottony mater
ial still hanging to the branches. A
closer examination will disclose great
quantities of small scales which will
produce hundreds Of young scales each
year.
What are the people of Valley City
going to do about it? Watch the
Times Record for practicable things
that may be done to save our beauti
full trees. M. C. JAMES.
