the mail carrier that she would like to

generally bought only 25 cents worth at
time, she felt it would be economical
to invest So in stamps before the ad-
vance took place Nov. 2. The carrier
finally convinced her that although 1t
would cost three cents to mail letter
after Nov. ., stamps were to be sold at
the same old price.

New Law Of Interest
To Homesteaders

AS recognition of the role that the
homesteader is assuming in the present
war, Congress has just passed a bill
which preserves his land rights during
absence.
This law provides that every entry
man who enters the army or navy
forces shall be given credit for the ne
cessary residence and cultivation on
the land as long as he sc rves. If he is
discharged for wounds received or dis
ease incurred in line O. duty then the
full term of his enlistT lent shall be ap-
piled to the required residence. If he
dies in the service patent to the land
shall issue immediately to his widow
or in case of her death to his minor or
phan children or his legal representa-
tives.
With the entry of this country into
war, Congressman ohm M. Evans re-
allied that thou sands; of men would be
called to the co,lors who had imperfect
ed homestead entries, and that these
men might be Drotec ted he introduced
bill which ha S now become a law.

Railroad Meeting At
Jordan Largely Attended

The railroad meeting held at Jordan
on Tuesday of last week was most
successful gathering, considering the
fact that not very much time elapsed
after the meeting was called until it
was held. Because of this fact the
towns in the central and extreme wes-
tern parts of the county were not large
ly represented However, most OF the
communities within so miles of Jordan
were well represented by enthusiastic
| delegations, and every effort possible
| will be put forth to show the railroad
companies and the national Iaw-mak-
ing body the necessity of railroads in
this vast inland empire, supposed to
be the greatest small grain producing
country in the world so far removed
from lines of transportation.
The meeting was held at theJordan
Amusement hall, where all phases of
the matter were discussed and given
due consideration by those present.
1t was finally decided to execute a
thorough campaign throughout the
entire central and western portions OF
Dawson county with a view of ascer-
tanning the amount of crops raised,
the acreage now under cultivation and
an estimate of the acreage that will be
devoted to agricultural pursuits next
season, together with the number OF
ch mr.
stock in the county adjacent to the pro-
posed Lewitown-New Rockford cutoff.
Parcels of territory were assigned to
different individuals, who will call on
others to assist them in their work,
and in this manner it is expected that
quite an accurate estimate of the re-
sources of the territory in question
can be secured. 1t is believed that
this work will be comuleted sometime
between the first and the middle OF
August, when the data will be COM
piled and representatives will be sent
to Helena to wait on Governor Stewart
with reference to the matter, the gov
ernor already having taIlen an active
part in the preliminary proceedings.
The information secured as result of
the campaign will in turn be conveyed
to our representative in congress and
to the railroad companies.
This country is certainly in need of
railroad facilities and this step on the
part of the people of the towns of CEN
trail and western Dawson county is
move in the right direction. II will
result in showing up the resources of
the country and may result in the gov
ernment taking a hand in the construc-
tion of the road as a war measure
