Flic Public. 1 beg to announce for the ad vise of homcsteadeis under tl e one section act especially , and to th < > public in the dtbdistiict gen erally , that by means of correspondence - . pondence I have found enough fri difference of opinion cxiatiug ar 1 > k to the advisability of seeming a reduction of the improvement n- v' quiremeuts to make me conclude * * * " to defer pressing such legislation until I shall have become moie definitely informed as to the propot lion of sentiment for and against a reduction , also as to the - < . * value of improvement , sc that I s hall not attempt to promote SIILI an amendment before the next Docembersession , if at all , inlt nd- ing meanwhile to become mete fully advised. Any such legislat ion that I may undertake to ptt- mote must have the endorsement of at least a very great majority of my constituents in the territory covered by the act. The pros pects are that in order to secure such an amendment the value of improvements would have to be fixed as high as ( W/- cents and ' - , ma\bcashigh as 75 cents per acre. Advice by letter and other wise will be appreciated. M. P. KINK AID. Fine Kesidence property for sale. Call on R. P. Colcman1 of Broken Bow. Fcb'y 25 tf.
