Anna Case, Charming
American Singer, Is
Enthusiastic Over West

Even more charming than reports
had depicted her, is the impression re-
ceived by the Fargo people fortunate
Anna Case, who ranks as Americas
most famous young singer, and who
arrived in this city Wednesday even
ing, directly from New York city, her
present home. With Miss Case came
another musical celebrity whom the
nation delights to honor-Charles Gill
bert Spross, the Philadelphia COM
poser and pianist. The Fargo engage
ment is of unusual interest to them
because Of the fact that for both this
is their first real visit to this part Of
the northwest, which they find as
crisp and healthful in temperature as
they, had always anticipated. Miss
Case had been through this city once
previously, having taken an extensive
trip through Canada and to Pacific
coast points, returning via Glacier
park, last year.
Miss Case, in an interview today
with a Forum representative, express
ed in enthusiastic terms her pleasure
in the most cordial welcome given her
by representatives of the Dakota con-
servatory, which has been instrument
al in bringing her here, and by the
music section members of the Fine
Arts club. She spoke especially of how
delightful 1t was to be greeted thus,
and to have such charming room as
she is now occupying at the Gardner,

SETTLE
SIZE OF
GRANTS

Ell Paso, Texas Oct. 19.-How much
non-irrigable land should the United
States government give to a farmer
who indicates willingness to attempt
to wrest a livelihood from the soil
anywhere in the semi-arid belt, which
is the only place the government has
any land left for public entry. This
question will be argued at the annual
sessions of the International Dry
Farm congress which will begin here
today and close next Saturday.
Under the general homestead law, a
settler was entitled to acquire title to
$50 acres after paying the filing fee OF
$14, and complying with the residence
requirement, which was ordinarily Ave
years. This was passed when farming
lands of Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas,
Oklahoma and other states in the rain
belt were being settled, but when the
westward march of settlement passed
the line of 25 inches of annual rain
fall, new problems arose, and as the
waves Of settlers rolled westward still
farther, stopping of ten times against
tains, it was discovered that 100 acres
were not enough for a man to make a
living out of.
Under the enlarged homestead act,
passed a few years ago, the settler is
allowed to obtain 800 acres in a home
stead in sections where the rainfall is
scant. Many have taken a chance on
these terms and are continuing to do
SO. But the seasoned plainsman is
said to be of the opinion that even
two quarter sections is not enough
land to give the settler a fair chance.
1t Is of such men as these, 1t is
stated. that the dry farm congress Is
composed. .......
Former Gov. Elias M. Ammons, of
Colorado, insists that the problem of
permanent settlement of the remain
ing public domain will never be solv-
ed until three or even four quarter
sections are allowed for O homestead.
Another subject of Importance
, which the congress will discuss is
that Of river regulation and control
by the impounding of food waters in
the upper reaches of the streams.
