residing upon and has not sold the
land and who is unable to exercise
the right of additional entry under
this act because there is no land OF
the class described contiguous OF
within a radius of 20 miles, may
relinquish or reconvey to the U. S.
said land and make a $40 acre en-
try subject to the provisions of
the act.
Persons entitled to additional en-
tries of contiguous land under this
act are accorded a preference
right of 90 days after designation
to enter land contiguous to their
entries or to land owned and oc-
cupied by them. Where there is
not sufficient land to enable two
or more persons entitled to apply
for same to satisfy their full rights
the Secretary of the Interior may
make an equitable division of same.
If there is but one tract the first
applicant gets it.
Stockraising homesteads cannot
be commuted and all patents un-
der the act will contain a reserva-
ton in favor of the United States

right to prospect, mine and re-
move mineral of any kind is re-
served.
The act provides for withdraw
ing lands containing water holes
and other bodies of water needed
or used by the public for watering
places, also for trails of a specified
width for use in the the move

Circle High School Now
Accredited By State

I Prof. Refer announced1ast night
| that word had just been
received from the state
school department that the
Circle school has been placed in
the list of accredited high schools
and will thereby share in the state
high school fund. This means
about eleven or twelve hundred
dollars a year. However this
money cannot be used for building
purposes but for hiring additional
instructors, etc.
To be accredited by the state is
of great benefit to the people of
this section, where there are many
who cannot send their children to
the county High School but could
send them here, and now with
assistance from the state the Circle
High School is placed in a class
that is equal to that of the county
high school, in that it can procure
additional instructors, and teach
all the branches. This year two
years of high school work is being
done,- but next year there will be
three.
The local school board is to be
congratulated for their success in
securing such a competent princi-
pal as Mr.. Refer, because the sue
cess in getting school accredited
depends largely upon the ability of
the principal, who must know his
business.
This is indeed an advancement
of the local schools. Now for a
new school building by next fall
and with three year high schoo'
course next term, we can Their,
boast of the best school in the =
Redwater Valley.

Many Applications Pend
ing For New State Banks

During the month of December
there were an exceptionally large
number of applications for charter
for new state banks throughout
Montana, filed with the state bank
ing department. In all there were
about 20 applications, but what is
the most surprising is that so many
are from this section.
In the list of places named in
the last issue of the Montana Bank
er we find that applications have
been filed for state bank charters
at Paxton, Redwater, Brockway,
White, Paris and Van Norman. 1t
seems rather strange that applica-
tlons for bank charters have been
made for such small places as
White, Paris and Van Norman
especially where surely a bank
could not thrive at present.
Newspapers ofcourse are very
apt to be too optimistic some times
but it seems to us that these appli-
cations for charters for the various
above named places throughout
the Redwater Valley, which in
most places yet only consist of a
postoffice, is a silent message that
there will be something doing in
railroad construction this coming
summer, and it is probable that
some of the eastern financiers
know something about it already.
A few days ago the editor received
a letter from a party in New York
City, asking if we would send him
a copy of the Banner containing
an article regarding the establish
ment of a bank out at Paris, so it
Will be seen that Its eastern men
who are interested in these banks,
at least the one at Paris.
However although these appli-
cations have been made it is doubt
full whether or not they will be
granted by the state examiner,
with the exception of the one at
Brockway where they are surely
to one.
Should the G. N, come steam
ing up through the Rcdwater
Valley the coming summer, there
is ofcourse no question but what
each one of these places will be a
fair-sized town by fall and will
have many other business estab-
[ishments besides banks.

New 64O Acre Homestead Law
Ready For Presidents Signature

The $40 acre homestead bill ha
now been acted upon by the con
ference committee and the bill
only needs the signature of the
President to become law.
Through the kindness of Petel
Rorvik, our obliging U. S. Com
missioner, we publish below &
few brief paragraphs on the new
homestead act, which was received
from Washington yesterday:
A person qualified to make en-
try under the homestead laws can
make an original stockraising
homestead of $40 acres or less of
lands designated as "stockraising
lands, Additional entries are au-
thorized which may be contiguous
or non-contigious to the original,
according to circumstances.
A former homestead entry of
land of the character described is
not bar to another entry under
this act within 20 miles of the ori-
ginal homestead, but the latter
and the tract applied for must be
designated as stockraising lands.
The additional and former entry
together cannot exceed $40 acres.
1t is further provided that the en-
trymen shall enter all contiguous
areas of the character contemplat-
ed prior to the entry of nonconti-
guous tracts.
Instead of cultivation as requir-
ed by the homestead laws final
proof can be made on a showing
of improvements to the amount of
SIPS an acre, one-half of which
must be placed on the land within
three years. Residence as required
by the homestead laws is necessary
except as otherwise provided.
An entrylnan who has not sub
mitted final proof may make an
additional entry of contiguous land
of the character described in the
act, both entries not to exceed GAO
acres. Residence on the original
entry will be credited on both.
The original entry need not be de-
signated.
One who has submitted final
proof on a homestead or received
a patent, and who owns and re-
sides on the land may make an ad-
ditional entry of contiguous land
of the character described, both
not to exceed $40 acres. 1t is not
that the original entry be
designated. Proof can be made
on showing permanent improve
ments to the value of SIPS an
acre.
One who has homestead, whe-
ther or not final proof has been
or patent issued, who is

C. n. To Circle Fall
Of 1917, Is Report

This is the time of year wher
newspapers in this section begir
building railroads" again, so here
goes. However although it may
be taken as joke it nevertheless
would appear as though there Was
a certainty of Circle getting a
railroad this coming summer or
| fall.
The first railroad news we have
seen regarding construction work
| to be done in 1917 appeared last
week in full page write up in the
news service of the Montana
Newspaper Union of Great Falls,
which is being furnished to some
of our weekly exchanges. In this
writeup of railroad activities of
the 500, N. P, G. N, and Milwau-
kee railways we read that a thou
sand miles of new railroad in
Montana has been assured, by
these lines within the next year
or so.
We copy below a part of the
writeup which pertains to this
section:
early in the spring if is expect
ed that the Great Northern will
begin work on the extension from
Winnett to the town Of Weede on
the Musselshell along which both
will operate. From Weede the
Great Northern will push on east
ward, while the Milwaukee will
run line southwark to connect
with its transcontinental line at
Melstone. From Fairview the
construction has proceeded SIM
eastward and west
ward. 1t is under operation as
far east as Watford City, N. Dak.,
and as far west as Richey.
The line into North Dakota was
built south from a junction with
the Great Northern main line at
Snowden, 14.3 miles to Falrvlew
and thence east, total of 5O.6
miles. From Fairview the line
has been built west to Richey, to |
which point the line is being op-
Grated to a degree under construc-
ton forces from Lambert. 1t is
expected that the line will be COM
pleteu this year to Circle. As the
line from Winnett is expected to
be completed to the Musselshell
by the end Of the year, this will
leave between 10 and 100 miles
10 be constructed in 1918 for the
linking of the east and west lines.

Band Boys To Give
Social and Dance 10th

The local band boys had a real
good rehearsal last Wednesday
evening and after footing" away
at some classy stuff for about an
hour had a little business meeting.
The treasurer made a financial
report, and this showed that the
balance in the band treasury was
rather small just now and that
they needed some funds to pay
their instructor and other expens-
es up to date and that they need
some more money to keep the
band a going.
To start the New year right it
was decided to give box social
and dance .on Saturday January
the Goth. and it is hoped that
every girl and lady in Circle, as
we'll as the surrounding country
will bring basket with lunch for
two on this evening. These bas-
kets will be sold to the highest |
proceeds to 60 to the band.
We know that the majority of our
citizens wish to see the band con-
TIME. now here is q chance IN
give them lift-come and buy
basket and pay as much as you
ike.
Music for the dance will be fur
lished by the entire Circle Band,
which is without a question the
pest dance music in the Redwater
Valley, and which will assure you
If having a good time.

EdW. Storm returned last Sat
urday from Valley City, N. Dak.,
where he recently underwent an
operation for appendicitis. Mr..
Storm underwent an operation for
appendicitis some years ago but
the operation was not a success in
that it did not heal up, and there
fore had to be done over again.
Edw. says he feels like new
man.
A large crowd turned out to
see the "Beckoning Trail at the
Princess last Monday night and
we must say it was dandy show.
A big dance was given at the New
opera house after the show and
all had a fine time. Messrs. Overy
add Mildner furnished the music
for the show and dance.
The past week we have had
some real mild weather for a
change, in fact too nice to last
very long.
