LEGAL IN SOUTH DAKOTA

Gregory, s. D.. March 6.-The local
a n office has been advised OF the COM
pleted enactment by congress. of the
320-acre homestead law, applying to
South Dakota. A few years ago the
right to make 320-acre homestead en-
tries on open lands in various western
sections was given by congress-, but at
that time South Dakota was exempted
from the privileged, largely through
the efforts of the states own represen-
tatives in congress. The bill now
passed extends the 320-acre privilege
to all open homestead land in western
South Dakota.
The bill providing for 640-acre graz
ing land homesteads was not completed.
