MUCH LAM) STILL AVAILABLE.
Many Tracts Still Open to Homestead
Entry in Various Parts of
Uncle Sam's Domain.
It is estimated that not less than
fifty thousand heads of families,
most of them successful farmers, ex
patriated themselves in 190!) and
took up homes under the British
flag, says the Exchange. All of
them had money, probably none had
less than $1000, so that at least
$00,000,000 of good American coin
was taken from this country and in
vested in Canadian property. The
lure of (heap land is strong and as
long as the Canadian northwest of
fers Its virgin prairies to homeseek
ers at low prices, the rush of set
tlers Is likely to continue. Land
values, however, have steadily risen,
and with the passing of Canadian
lands selling at $:: to $15 per acre, it
Is probable that the opportunities
for homemakers in our own west
may prove sufficiently attractive to
stein the northwest tide.
A complaint often made by home
seekers is that there is lack of in
formation concerning the available
public domain in the several west
ern states. Our remaining public
lands exclusive of Alaska and our
Island possessions, consist of about
370,000,000 acres. Much of this Is
mountainous and a good deal of It Is
arid and worthless without irrigation.
There are, however, several millions
of acres of semi-arid land open to
settlers in tracts of 320 acres each,
located where new methods of culti
vation and scientific planting have
to overcome the deficient rainfall.
These are being rapidly taken up.
The completion of successive • its
on a number of the large irrigation
works of the government is mak
ing available choice farms In several
states. To meet the demand for in
formation concerning these lands,
the reclamation service has issued
descriptive pamphlets which are
mailed upon request by the Statis
tician, U. S. Reclamation Service,
Washington, D. C. At the present
time excellent opportunities exist on
a number of projects. The number
and size of farms open to entry, cost
of water-right, and the cash payment
required are given herewith:
On the Belle Fourcho project,
South Dakota, there are sixty farms
containing from forty to eighty acres
each. The water-right charge Is only
$30 per acre, and the first payment
required In advance is $3.50 per
acre, the balance being payable in
nine annual Installments without In
terest.
The Huntley project, Montana,
offers to homestead entry 224 farms,
averaging forty acres each of Irrig
able land. The cost of water-right
Is $30 per acre, in addition to
which $4 per acre must be paid for
the land. The initial payment is
$6.40 per acre, the balance being
payable in nine equal annual install
ments without Interest.
The Shoshone project, Wyoming,
has available 257 farms avj'i .ug
forty to eighty acres each of Irrigable
land; water-right charge, $40 per
acre, payable one-tenth down, bal
ance In nine equal annual install
ments.
Sun River project, Montana:
Eighty-five farms vacant, averaging
eighty acres each of irrigable land,
water-right charge $30 per acre,
maintenance and operation, 50 cents
per acre; first payment $3.50, bal
ance In nine equal annual install
meats without Interest.
Umatilla project, Oregon: Seventy
farms not yet taken, averaging twen
ty to forty acres each of irrigable
land: water right charge $60 per
acre, maintenance and operation,
$1.30 per acre. First payment,
$19.30 per acre; balance In seven
equal annual installments without
interest.
The above farms are located in
settled agricultural districts. Neigh
bors are plentiful, transportation
facilities are good, towns are near
with stores, schools and churches.
On several of these projects, eight
farm houses are located along each
mile of the main highways, giving
the country more of a suburban than
a rural appearance. On all of these
projects, the crops last year were
satisfactory. The fruit farmer,
stock man, general farmer and truck
grower will find what he Is looking
for one one or more of these projects.
No more capital Is required to make
a success on one of these farms than
than on a wheat farm In Canada,
and there Is the additional advantage
of a much better climate.
Good Stories.
"A little nonsense now and then
Is relished by the best of men."
It is told of an English professor
that he onco wrote on tho blackboard
in his laboratory:
"Professor Atherton is pleased to
Inform his students that he has this
day been appointed honorary physi
cian to her Majesty, the Queen."
In the course of the morning he
had occasion to leave the room, and
found on his return that some stu
dent had considerately added to the
announcement these words: "God
save the Queen!" —Llpplncott's Mag
apine.
A story Is told of an Englishman
who had occasion for a doctor while
staying In Peking:
"Sing Loo, gleatest doctor," said
his servant; -"he savee my life once."
"Really?" queried the English
man.
"Yes; me tellible awful," was the
reply; "me calico ln doctor. He
gives me medicine; me velly, velly
bad. Me callee in another doctor. He
come and give me more medicine,
make me velly, velly badder. Me
callee in Sing Loo. Ho no come. He
savee my life." — Birmingham (Eng
land ) Post.
Representative Lungworth. son-in
law of Theodore Roosevelt, stands
sponsor for this story which al
though a bit old, Is yet good. An old
negro was stopped on the street on
election day by a white man who
asked him if he had voted. "Yas,
'ndeed, Iso voted," replied the ne
gro. "Did you get anything for your
vote?" "Oh, yas, suh. I got paid fob
niah vote." "What did you get?"
publicans come to me and dey says
"Well, sub. it was talk dls. De re
dey give me 'leven dollars if me and
mail three boys vote de republican
ticket, an' I took de money; an' do
democrats come to me an' dey says
dey give me seven dollars fob niah
vote and mah boys' votes, an' I took
de money." "You took money from
both sides. Then which ticket did
you vote?" "Oh, I voted de demo
cratic ticket." "Why so?" The repub
licans gave you the most money." "1
voted for de democrats fob jes' dat
reason — dey wasn't as corrupt as de
republicans."
Rufe Johnson was heard telling
this story: "Yessur, it sure was ah
ghost, and I run some. Do fust mile
I made In nuffen, den I burnt the
wind for two or free more, and den
I sit down on a rail fence to rest,
and when I'd 'bout cot my breff 1
looked over my shoulder and dere
was dat ghost agin, an' it said:
" 'We sure did run, Rufe, didn't
we?'
"And den I say: 'Yes, Mr. Ghost,
we sure did, but we didn't run nuf
fen to what we's gwine to run."
Senator Taylor of Tennessee said
the finest example he knew of the
antebellum negro's use of the Eng
lish language was the remark made
by an old negro whose worthless
son was married secretly. The old
man heard of It, and asked the boy
If he was married.
"I ain't saying I ain't," tho boy
replied.
"Now, you, "Rastus," stormed the
old man, "I ain't askin' you is you
ain't; I is askin' you ain't you is:"

Investigating Conditions.
At the last convention of the
Farmers' Union, of Whitman county,
Y. C. Mansfield, R. C. McCroskey
and L. C. Crow were appointed as
a committee to visit the boor farm at
Elberton,. Investigate conditions and
report as to the advisability of re
moving the farm. They visited the
farm and their findings are em
bodied in the following protest
which was filed with the county com
missioners by Y. c. Mansfield:
To the Commissioners of Whitman
County, Washington.
Gentlemen —We, the undersigned
committee, appointed by the county
Farmers Union, March 20, 1910, to
visit the county poor farm, examine
into the question of moving the same
to Colfax, and report to your hon
orable body the result of our Investi
gations, beg leave to say that one of
our number who was opposed to
such action by the county union
wrote to Commissioner Ellis Inform
ing him of the time our committee
would visit Elberton, and requested
that he meet us there. This action
afterwards met the hearty approba
tion of the two other members, we
I all desiring to get the view point of
the commissioners directly from one'
of their members. Mr. Ellis, for some
cause, did not meet us, which we
all regretted. We, therefore, base our
conclusions on the Information gath
ered on the farm and from other
sources; and also from a communi
cation published In the Commoner,
Juno 11, 1909, by J. R. Rupley, your
chairman, setting forth, as wo as
sume, the attitude of the board. We
desire, reluctantly, to state that we
believe your honorable body is mak
ing a mistake In taking the stops
you have, leading up to tho change of
location of the "Poor Farm." This
opinion wo are encouraged to ex
press by the statement of one of our
committee, Mr. Mansfield, that Mr.
Ellis said to him that the commis
sioners would be pleased to have a
committee of the Farmers Union in
vestigate the matter and report to
your honorable body, as the contem
plated change had not gone too far
to bo dropped.
We find that there Is oven more
tillable land on the Elberton farm
than is necessary for the require
ments of the infirmary, that there is
abundance of fruit, a pretty good
water system, abundance of room in
the building, some slight changes,
the building, some slight changes
the drainage Is first-class, and that
the sanitary conditions are very good
and are capable of being made per
fect at little cost.
We find that the average number
of Inmates for 1909 was a small frac
tion over twelve, and that tbe aver
age ago of these now in the infirm
ary is 73 years, not. counting a pa
ralytic and one of feeble mind. We
submit that from people of thai age
and condition very little labor could
reasonably be expected. Therefore,
we believe It wi. be inexpedient and
expensive to the county to raise more
on the poor farm than is necessary
to supply the table with meat, vege
tables, fruit and dairy products, The
building will undoubtedly meet the
requirements of Whitman county for
many years to come.
As to the hospital, one can be built
on the Elberton farm as cheap as at
any other place In the county, and
inasmuch as the lnflrmacy Is quite
close to tbe depot It Is believed by
those who have given very close at
tention to the problem, that patients
can be transferred from any point in
the county, not excepting Colfax, to
the Elberton poor farm cheaper than
they can be to tho contemplated farm
near Colfax.
Now in view of the constantly in
creasing burden of taxation, and In
view of the fact that recent disasters
from floods will add to the burden
and also in view of the fact that we
believe each and every member of
your honorable body is governed by
! disinterested and patriotic motives in
your action in this matter, we, tho
undersigned committee, would most
respectfully and deferentially request
that you do not make the contem
plated change; or at least that you
defer action In the matter so as to
give those we represent and who pay
