New York. Nov. 9.-The presiden-
tial race is so close that the weight
OF hair will give the victory to eth
er Hughes or Wilson.
Although both sides claim MAORI
ties in the electoral college there
seems nevertheless to be a feeling
that there is chance that the deter
mination of the final result, with so
many states doubtful. might be pro-
longed perhaps for another day, and
there was unofficial talk that the de-
cision might eventually be thrown
into the house OF representatives.
There were suggestions also that
there might be in some states bitter
contests over the integrity of the re-
turns, which might be drawn out for
days, with the result hinging on a
recount.
George w. Perkins, at Republican
headquarters, commenting upon the
close vote in some states. declared
that a recount might be necessary.
Democratic Chairman Mccormick
sent kilograms to every state and
county where the result appears close,
commanding them to personally see
that the ballot boxes are guarded and
protected.

Tourist Travel i'm Black Hills Is Big
This Summer.

Pierre, June 26.-The tourist
travel 10 the Black Hills section of
the state is far ahead of that of any
former year. Auto parties from
eastern towns are in this city every
day on their way to the beauty spot
of the state and the train travel to
that section is the heaviest for years.
The road improvement work in the
Black Hills counties which makes
auto travel through the mountains
easy is one of the elements of at
traction to that section. The auto
owner is willing to make the trip ii
he is certain that he can travel the
mountain roads with his machine and
the construction Of good roads has
stimulated this class Of travel. Each
year sees a greater number Of sum
mer cabins built in the Hills by resi-.
dents of the prairie section, and the
travel will increase from this time

HOMESTEAD BILL


Washington, June 26.-The Tim
Der Lake bill, providing for the en-
try of noncontiguous lands under the
enlarged homestead act. passed the
senate with an amendment proposed
by Senator Sterling, which provided
that where the land embraced in the
additional entry is located not ex-
ceeding twenty miles from the orig
inal entry, no residence shall be re-
Quired on the additional entry. As
thus amended the bill went back to
the house. where a provision was
added To Senator S%terling's amend
ment, which restricts its benefits to
those entrymen who reside on the
original entry.
The bill as passed permits home
steaders who have made final proof
on lands which have been designated
as subject to entry under the en-
larged homestead act. but who have
been unable to enter additional con
tiguous land, to make entry on non
contiguous land of the same charac-
ter, which shall not, with the original
entry, exceed $40 acres. Where the
land in the additional entry is within
twenty miles of the original entry,
residence will not be required on the
additional entry, if the entryman
continues TO reside on his original
entry.
The bill will undoubtedly be sign
ed by the president in the course of
a few days.
