Thu Italics.- -Because of numerous
Inquiries regarding the passage of the
■tockraiaiug homestead «40 acre bill,
Representative N. J. Htnnott has given
out the following statement:
“ The statement that has been pub­
lished in several small papers in this
state that the stockralstng homestead
«40-acre bill had been passed and be­
came a law is erroneous. The hill did
not pass. The bill went through the
house and passed to the senate, where
several amendments were attached to
It and returned to the house. The re­
turn was made on the last day of the
session and. therefore, the house could
not have passed it If it wanted to, as
there was not enough time for votisld
oration. The bill will not bo acted
upon until the next session of con­
gress.“
The bill provides for the taking up
of «40 acres of stockralstng laud with
the sanction of the secretary of tho
Interior.

The hostile submarine is believed to

clared that at least two submarines
are operating close to the American
shore, though outside the three-mile
