HOMESTEAD BILL WHICH IT IS
BELIEVED WILL Be OF GREAT
VALUE TO STOCK INDUSTRY,

when the President signs the
$40 Acre Grazing Home slead Bill
there will be placed upon the s.a-
tute books a law which it is be-
lieved will accomplish a great deal
toward making homes for those who
desire to engage in a small way in
the live stock industry, and also

ply of sheep and cattle in the pub
lie. land States" remarked Congress
man Addison 7. Smith in comment
ing on the provisions OF the pro-
posed law.
This legislation" continued Mr.
Smith, "has had strong advocates and
opponents before the Committee on
Public Lands in both branches of
Congress during the last few years,
and the bill has been materially
changed from the form in which it
was originally introduced. The op-
position came from the large sheep
and cattle men, but the bill as fin
ally amended is now fairly satisfac-
tory to them. .,...
The law authorizes the entry of
$40 acres of semi-arid land more
suitable for grazing than cultivation
after the Secretary of the Interior
has designated such area as. While
the land may be selected prior to
such designation and the application
filed in the local office, no right
to occupy such land shall be ac-
quired by reason CT said application

ed by the Secretary of the Interior

acquire title residence Of three years
is required with the usual leave of
absence of five months in each year,
and permanent improvements must
be made to q value of not less thu
$1.25 per acre, one-half of which
must be expended wi hin three years
after date of entry. No cultivation is
required and Communication is not
allowed.
A personal examination of the. land
is required under this law before APP
plicaticn can be made, as under
the general homestead laws, and
the regular fees and commissions
must be paid. Additional entri are
allowed in sufficient guam iy with

such former entry of grazing land

EEL TRADE IS DEMoRALIzEOI
catchers of Elongated Slippery Fish
In Thames River Among Others
Affected by the War.

Good Queen Bess' fondness for the
Dutch eel is keeping one man in Brit
ain In state Of forced idleness, OBJ
serves the New York Sun.
In the early part of her reign boat
laden with cells sailed up the Thames
and part of the cargo was sent to the
virgin queen as a gift. Her majesty
was so delighted with the, at that time
novel dish, that she granted Skipper
Visjerzonen a charter which made
the River Thames free to him and his
descendants, absolved him of all river
dues and gave his descendants the
right to moor at q certain spot in the
river forever.
But one condition of the charter
was to the effect that the mooring
place always must be occupied by
some Of their boats. If Mt any time
the place was unused the privilege
would cease. For 300 years the de-
scendants of the fortunate skipper
have piled their trade in the Thames,
always retaining their original moor
ing place. But the war broke out, the
eel trade fell off considerably and the
submarine activity completely killed
1t off about two years ago.
Captain Villum, the last arrival in
charge Of an eel boat, has since that
period been to all lntents and pur-
poses marooncd. To maintain his
rights it has been necessary to stay
in the river, and until the war ends
| this condition will be fulfilled He re-
plies to questions as to the length Of
his exile that he expects to stay for
two or three years yet.

the business of the convention on the
7th. The discussion then conferred on
the right of suffrage. Governor Nor
ris held that to give that right to
all freemen the government would I'M
dombtedly become an aristocracy, as
1t would put 1t in the power Of men
whose business created numerous de-
pendents. Doctor Franklin also spoke
on the subject:
"He observed that In time of war a
country owed much to the lower class
of citizens. Our late war was an in
stance of what they could suffer and
perform. If denied the right Of suf-
frage 1t would debase their spirit and
detach them from the interest Of the
country. One thousand Of our seamen
were confined in English prisons-had
brides offered to go on board English
vessels, which they rejected
"From then on matters progressed
rapidly although not without debate
of every viewpoint and angle. By
September / the system was in shape
to refer to grand committee. They
worked diligently and made some Of
the most important revisions that had
thus far been thought Of. One Of the
principal of these was the plan for
the election of the president. Septem-
Der 8 the report was agreed to, and
with some amendments was referred
to the committee of detail. On Septem-
Der IS the second printed report was re-
ceiyed. This was read, discussed and
n few further changes made, and on
the 18th was ordered engrossed and
500 copies struck On the 18th the

Willing to Help.

Being a young man, he was telling
young woman all his troubles. 1t took
him long time, and the evening wore
away. He explained how he had hap
pened to lose his last position, and
how he couldn't seem to get foot
hold in another. She sighed, and he
took it for sigh Of sympathy-may-
be 1t was.
II am confident that could make
success" he said, "if could only get

She glanced Mt the clock. II can

And so he got his start.

lady treat, the youth entered the
shop and asked for chocolate creams.
II dinna sell chocolate creams on
