BIG LAND GRAB BY RICH
sTOCKMEN IS CHARGED
Photos by American Press Association.

Swamped with letters and kilograms
charging that the 640-acre homestead
law recently enacted, is being utilized
by the wealthy stockmen Of the West
to gobble up the large areas of the
public range in direct violation of the
terms Of the law, Secretary Of the In
terror Lane has decided to designate
no land for entry under this law until
he can make a thorough investigation
and determine whether or not fraud is
being attempted.
The charges pouring in upon the
Secretary say that in all the Western
states big stockmen have been sending
their herders and other employees to
make applications for land under this
law, thus obtaining prior right to
entry. In this way, it is alleged,
frauds are being attempted similar to
the dummy entries made under the old
timber and stone act. No land can be
actually entered under the 640-acre
law until departmental regulations
have been issued, and then only such
land can be entered as is designated
for stockraising homesteading by the
Secretary Of the Interior.
AS yet, Secretary Lane has made no
designations and the regulations are
held back. By refusing to make des-
ignations, the Secretary can prevent
the perpetration of frauds, if upon in
vestigation he becomes convinced that
extensive fraud in the interest of big
stockmen is being attempted.

MAYOR CHANGES
MEETING PLACE
FOR NOMINATING CANDIDATES
Rumored That Amendment
for Sunday Closing Will Be
Placed On the Ballot.

In order to accommodate everybody
who is interested in nominating city
officials for the ensuing year, Mayor
Watts has made arrangements to Sc
cure the building just west of the Post
office in which to hold the citizens
mass meeting, next Friday evening,
February 2nd.
The meeting will be called to order
promptly at 1880 o'clock, and there is
evidently more interest being man
ifested in the coming city election
than has been shown for some time in
the past. There are said to be several
straws wagering in the political wind,
municipality speaking, which portend a
spirited interest in the coming contest.
Rumors galore are rumoring athwart
the city's environs, and one of these
rumors is to the effect that the aues-
tion of Sunday closing" will again be
referred to the ballot box for decision.
The Sunday closing amendment was
on the ballot last election and was de-
feated; the vote being l79 to l04.
Inasmuch as nominations by petition
do not seem to have been popular
with the majority of Athena voters in
the past, defeat being the result, it is
