It is now up to the members of the House to bring about the fina passage of the Borah bill, whic directs the issuance of patents to homestead entrymen on Government irrigation projects as soon as they have complied with the requirements of the homestead law, regardless whether or not they havefpaid all water carges assessed agains their lands. This bill passed the Senate without opposition after several amendments had been adopted at the suggestion of Secretary Fisher. While it is not in as good shape as Senator Borah had hoped it would be, the bill wil yet accomplish much good and will enable homesteaders to mortgage the property from five to seven years earlier than is possible under the present law. As the bill passed the Senate, it povides: "From and after fil ing with the Commissioner of the General Land Office of satisfac tory proof of residence, improve ment and cultivtion, as required by the laws relative to acquir ing a homestead upon the public domain, patent shall be granted and issued to persons who have made or shall make homestead entries within reclamation 'pro jects under certain provisions of the act of June 17, 1902, the same as though said entry had been made under the genera homestead act; provided, how ever, that no patent shall be is sued unless at least one-half of the total irrigable area of the entry has been reclaimed for agricultural purposes, and al charges then due to the govern ment for building, operation and maintenance, including drainage, have been paid; provided fur ther, that the amounts so paid on account of building charges shall aggregate not less than 40 per cent of the total building charge." The bill further provides that the act expressly reserves to the United States, a lien on the land and all appurtenances thereunto belonging, superior to all other claims against the land, and in case of default in the payment of any money due to the govern ment, title to the land shall pass to the United States, free of all incumbrances, and subject only to the right of the defaulting debtor or any mortgagee, lien holder, or judgment debtor to redeem the land one year after default shall have been adjudged, upon the payment of all moneys due, with 4 per cent interest and costs.

Irving, Secretary Value of a Sire The American Breeder prints on the front page of its March 20th issue a picture of two geld ings, both foaled by the same mare that contains a lesson for men who expect to raise colts, whether only few or many. The smaller of the two geldings is five years old, the other four. The smaller gelding was sired by a nice little mongrel stallion, the larger one by a good average draft horse. They were sold at public auction on the same date in the Kansas City Horse Mar ket, the smaller gelding bringing $112, the larger one $238. The breeder who raised them saved seven dollars in the service fee for the little gelding, but he made $126 by using a better sire the next year. It would seem that the smaller horse Bhould have brought a little more, but the market is apt to be crowded with small, inferior stuff, while the demand is always good for the larger and better ones. i The Right Of Proposal By SARA L. WHITING Chrtrlcs ami ISdwnrd Dulllchl wcro of opposite dispositions. Charles UoIiir ono of thoso outspoken, generous fellows whom every ono loves, lie was older than his brother, who was sclllsh, poll tic and practical. When Charles, had finished his education his father, who was a manufacturer on a largo scale, offered his older son an Interest In his business. Tho offer was declined with tho words: "Father. I would bring you to bankruptcy within two years. There is not n business hair In my head. I shall study nrt." Sir. Dulllcld took his second son,out of college, put hhu Into his factory and advanced him rapidly. He wrote Charles, who was In Italy studying art. "Since you have decided to spend a dreamer's life perhaps you will bo uble to live on dreams." To this tho son re plied that he understood perfectly his father's life had been that of n unsl ness man and It was natural that he should look at things In a business light, lie. Charles, was born with an artist's temperament and would be happy In his work. Iloth Charles and Edward Dufflold had been attentive to the same girl. Ethel Sanger was one to keep her own counsel. Up to a certain point neither brother had offered himself to her, though Edward had come very near It But no ono except the lady knew how the matter stood between tho trio, Charles on going to Italy at tho time he declined his father's proposition left Edward master of the field. Edward made nn excellent business man. Ho had a certain faculty that is valuablo in busiuess. He would as buyer grind the seller and aB a seller get tho best price for his goods. Ho sides, ho could figure expenses down to tho lowest notch. Do assumed first place under his father nnd worked so hard that ho undermined his health. His doctor ordered him nway. and he started on n trip around the -world. Ho had been trying to lnduco Miss San ger to engage herself to him for some time, but without success. Just beforo ho started on his tour he mado a last attempt nnd succeeded. Edward gave her to understand that if ho could go abroad with the anticipation of claim Ing her as his bride ho would have a better chance to regain his health. She considered It under tho circumstances her duty to accept him. Whllo Edward was nway his mother pined at the absence of both her sons at tho samo time and wroto Charles begging him to return to America. It was quite n backset to him in his pro fession to leave hljostudles at that time, but he listened to the call of duty and returned nt once, He was receiv ed coldly by his father, who had not forgiven him for thwarting his wishes to tako up a business career with a view to becoming his successor. Nev ertheless. Charles was bis fuvorito son. and no one doubted that he would In herit his share of hi father's estate. Charles had not been tit home o month before Mr. Dutilold. after nn illness of n few days, died. When the will was opened It was discovered that all tho property except the widow's share had been bequeathed to Edward. The Dullield family seemed doomed to sudden and continued ntlllctiuns. for scarcely bad the father died and the will read when u cablegram came from Japan announcing the death there of Edwurd. This put u different com plexion on the inheritance. Charles would come in as his brother's heir and thus, after nil, a doubly rich man. Charles wrote Miss Sanger that since she would have Inherited his brother's fortune Instead of himself as Edwnrd'H heir had Edward llvo to return he proposed to make over Edward's In heritance under the law to her, adding that he (Charles) arid his mother would have left sufficient for both. After the elapse of some days he received a note from tho lady declining the offer. Surprised, he asked If she would ac cept half of Edward's share. This sho also declined. Charles was puzzled. lie had loved the girl and loved her still, but slio bad nccepted his brother, and liu pre sumed oho loved or had loved her fiance. The Idea entered Charles mind that possibly after a sufficient period had elapsed to enable her to re cover from her grief she might accept an estate that she should have Inherit ed from Edward by marrying Charles. So he determined to wait awhile. But the poorest man In the world to wait Is ono In love. Ono evening Charles called upon Miss Sanger with tho Intention of proposlrfg his plan by which sho might nfter all accept tho fortune she should have had. Miss Sanger camp Into the room wearing the serious dhlueanor of one who had recently been bereaved. Nevertheless there seemed to bo an underlying causo for pleasure Dullield noticed that she held In her hand a long, fat envelope. lie entered upon his proposition Vumbllngly. The lady heard him through; then. Instead of replying, she handed him the envelope, saying she had received It by mall from Japan that morning. It wan a will drawn by his brother leaving all he possessed to her. Since the father had died ton days before tho eon, the property In volved belonged to Ethel Sanger In etead of Charles Duflield, Duflleld rose uud was nbont to de part when she culled him back and threw her nrms around him, It was she who had the right of prnposnl, bo far M fortune was concerned.
