HELP FOR HOMESTEADERS
Leniency For Man Trying Te Make
Home Is Recommended.
A radical change In the homestead
laws that will be of marked benefit to
setttlers Is the plan of President Taft.
Leniency for the man who is trying to
make a home on idle lands of the
state, included In the various reclama
tion projects, is what President Taft
wants.
ne intends 10 moairy tne law so
that the settler upon land being re
claimed need not take up his rest
dence Immediately upon filing, but
may wait two years before living on
his land. During these two years,
however, cultivation must be carried
on. By the time the settler musfcom
mence living on his land, he can, by
reason of this modification of the law,
make a living from his farm. This
will do away wtih two weary years
during which, under the present law,
the homesteader usually finds it ne
cessary to live partly on hope.
The present provision, under which
land la to be paid for In ten annual
installments will be so modified as to
allow a patent to be issued for the
land at the end of five years cultlva
tion, and three years occupation
The homesteaders generally will
welcome this change in the law, re
lieving them, as It does, from all en
forced residence on the undeveloped
farm lands during the period when It
Is hardest to make a living. At the
end of five years the new law will
furnish the settler with a title upon
which he can borrow money with
which to continue the development oi
his ranch.
HOUSTON FIRE
LOSS $7,000,000
Houston, Tex. Feb 21 : In the
wake of the most destructive fire in
the history of Houston, smoldering
wreckage covers tonight an area of
one and a half miles and varying in
width from 200 yards to half a mile.
A conservative estimate of the mon
etary loss is placed at $7,000,000
while the insurance carried will not
exceed 40 per cent.
The fire broke out in an untenanted
rooming house and spread rapidly
during a fierce gale which was sweep
inn over the town.
NYSSA BRIDGE
BONDS ACCEPTED
Nyssa, Feb 22: The bridge bonds,
in the sum of $10,000, have been ac
cepted by Wm. E. Sweet & Co. of
Denver, Colo. However, a second
election is to be held and the orignal
bond issue increased to $11,000 on
account of some question as to the
legality of the issue.
The new piano for the high school
was received the latter part of last
week and is pronounced one of the
finest instruments ever seen in this
city. It has been placed in the as
sembly hall of the new high school.
Prof. Ruring and other members of
the committee are especially pleased
with their selection.

If you think your limits arc within the four walls of your business, you
should extend them. Your business is as narrow or broad as your
thoughts; your business can be made larger or kept narrow, just as you
think or choose. If you extend your thoughts you can extend the limits
of your business; to acquire more business you must get your business
before the eye of the public.-ADVERTISE!
