NEW HOMESTEAD LAW IN FORCE

The 640-acre stock raising law is
not only of great interest to those
wanting to file upon homesteads, bat
is of utmost importance to those who
have heretofore made homestead en-
tries.
Some of the provisions of the bill
are as follows:
Homesteaders who have not sub
mitted final entry as well as those
who still live on and own there orr
ginal entry, have a right to enter,
subject to the provisions of the Act,
such amount of contiguous land as
shall not exceed. together with the
original entry, $40 acres. This is a
great boon to the small stockmen of
the west, and the large transient
range herds will sooner or later be
supplanted by smaller droves owned
by resident taxpayers. Stock raisers
and ranchers of this district would do
well to study the law in detail.
Section l introduces the text of
the bill providing for entry upon $40
acres of unoppropriated un~reserved
public land which the secretary of
the interior shall designate as stock
raising land. IL
Section 2 authorizes the secretary
of interior, on application or other
wise. to designate such lands. They
must be. in his opinion. chiefly valu-
able for grazing and raising forage
crops, must not contain merchantable
timber, and must be of the character
that $40 acres are required for the
support of a family.
Section 8 gives the qualifications
necessary to entry. A former home
steader is not barred to the entry of
a tract within the radius of 20 miles
from such former entry, and can
take up not to exceed a total of $40
acres. However, he is required to
enter contiguous areas open to entry
prior to the entry of non-contiguous
land. Instead of residence and cult
vationa as required. by homestead laws.
he must make permanent improve
ments to increase..its value as stock
raising land of a value not less than
SIPS per acre. one-half within three
years after entry.

A German whose first name In An
gust runs IA saloon in Sioux City. One
day last June the landlord called to
collect the rent and before leaving
said:
"Say, August. after the first day Of
July III have to charge you SIS 4
month more than you are paying now.
The paving on this street has cost me
n good deal. and now the gas company
is raising its rates. and I've gotta have
more rent"

A little later the %barkeeper came

more wages. After the first Of July l
want $40 more a month"
'vell." said August. II guess that

The next day the representative OF

beer, and when he was writing the re-
ceipt he said:
Say, August. hops is darned scarce
this ear. and after the LIST OF July
we've got to have S1.25 a barrel o
for the suds."
"vell." said patient August. II guess
that is all right"
August sat and figured a little while.

ty soon he returned with a new sign,
which he hung over the bar. and this
is what 1t contained:

The Noble Life.

True worth is In being, not seeming;
In doing each day that goes by
Some little good. not in the dreaming
OF great things to d. by and by.
For, whatever men say in blindness
And spite of the fancies OF youth.
There's nothing so kingly as kindness
And nothing so royal as truth
We get back our mete as we measure:
We cannot do wrong and feel right.
Nor can we give pain and gain pleasure
For justice avenges each slight.
The air for the wing of the sparrow,
The bush for the robin and wren.
But always the path that Is narrow
And straight for the children of men.

SATURDAY. JANUARY 30. 1917


The geographical area now known
as Nevada was for IL years a part OF
the territory of Utah. In 1861 it
was organized into the territory OF
Nevada. Two years later the peo-
pie of the territory sent representa-
tives to a Constitutional Convention
at Carson City to make a form OF
government for the proposed State
of Nevada. The constitution there
made was rejected by the people at
the polls. But in February of 1864
Congress passed a new enabling Act
which was signed by the President
on March 81, 1864. On the Fourth
of July a second Constitutional Con-
vention was held at Carson City, and
a second constitution was framed,
which exempted the property in
mines from taxation. The document
was completed on the 9th of July,
1864, and was adopted at the polls on
September 7. On the 31st of Octo-
Der the President proclaimed Nevada
a State of the Union.
William M. Stewart. n of Ne
vada's first United States Senators,
says in his "reminiscences"
1T was understood that the Gov
eminent at Washington was anxious
that Nevada should become a State
in order that her Senators and Rep
resentatives might assist in the
adoption of amendments to the con-
stitution in aid of the restoration of
the southern States after the Union
should be indicated by the war.
Another and very important factor
in inducing the people to vote for
Statehood was the unsatisfactory ju-
dietary condition under a territorial
form of government. . The

PROGRESS OF THE WAR
From sundays Salt Lake Tribune


The entente powers have been es-
pecially unfortunate Oh the sea IN
the last few days. On January 8 the
British cruiser CORVALLIS was sunk
by a submarine in the Mediterranean.
The vessel must have remained afioat
for some time as only thirteen lives
were lost. The British seaplane
carrier Ben-My-C hree was sent to
the bottom by Turkish gun-fire in
Kastelorizo harbor, Asia Minor.
The Italians suffered a heavy loss
when the battleship Regina MARCH,
erita, of more than Ia, 900 tons, struck
a mine off the port of Avlona, Alba
mia, which has been occupied by It
allan troops for more than a year.
Of a total 945 aboard the ship 675
persisted.
The Teutonic advance in Rumania
has slowed down, partly because of
the snow on the mountain and plain
and partly because of increased re-
sistance. Nevertheless the Teutons
and their Turkish and Bulgarian al
lies have made substantial progress.
At the eastern end of the line.
south of Galatz and north of Braila.
the invaders have taken some villages
but their advance has been compar-
atively slight. Their principal efforts
we're directed toward the capture of
Fokshani, a railway center forty-five
miles to the west. After battles
southwest and northeast of the town
lasting several days. the Russo-Ru-
manian forces retired from Fokshani,
leaving 1000 prisoners and some guns
and some machine guns in the hands
| of the enemy. To the northwest of
| Fokshani the Teutons pushed slowly
| out of the mountain passes into the
plains. Their task is a gigantic one
| and they are not meeting with uni
form success, for on two occasions
during the last week the Russians
and Rumanians have attacked along
wide fronts and thrown the enemy
back with considerable loss.
In Asia Minor a mighty blizzard in
all the Caucasus region has stopped
fighting between Russ and Turk. but
the British have been active in the
warm regions of Mesopotamia and
the Sinai peninsula. The British ex-
petition which has the Tigris valley
as its line of communication to the
Persian gulf, appears to be operating
not only at Kut, where several lines
of entertainments have been taken
northeast of the city, but off to the
north and east in Persia. The number
and the kind of military units en-
ployed in the Persian theater are not
stated in the Turkish report which
tells of the repulse of British attacks
in the vicinity of Hamadan. 1t is in
this region that the Russians and
Turks have been fighting for months
and the obscure Turkish report seems
to indicate that the British and Rus
SLAMS have effected a junction.
In France the French and British
have engaged in raids on the enemy
front line trenches. The latest raid
was made by the British north of
the Ancre region near the town of
Serre. This appears to have been
different from the customary raid,
, for instead of retreating after the
captured trenches had been wrecked
and prisoners taken. the British held
on to the trenches at Serre. This
may mean a resumption of the Son.
