The representation for Cherry county , based upon the vote cast for Hon. J. J. Sulli van in the general election of 1903 is 6 delegates. It is to be hoped that each precinct in the county will be represented. M. CirnisTENSEX , Chm. I. M. RICE , Sec'y.

Nine million acres of land in northwest ern Nebraska will be taken up by settlers as a result of the Kinkaid bill which President Roosevelt sighed on the last day of congress. Although the measure effects no state but Nebraska , it is of a spec ial importance to that state , and will result in a marked increase in the population of the land in north western Nebraska , and in the assessed valuation of property. The measure provides that 640 acres , or one section of land , may be taken under the homestead laws. .Formerly only 160 acres could be taken. As the land in northwest 1 ern Nebraska is suitable chiefly for grazing purposes , it waj im- We Have Just Received a full line of the celebrated JOHN DBEEE Farm Impl Consisting of Plows ; Cultivators , both walking and riding ; Listers , riding or walking ; Qo = Devils with knives or discs ; Harrows ; .

AK&KM possible for a settler to make a living on one-fouth section , but with 640 acres at his disposal , a homesteader can keep enough cat tle or sheep on his land to make it worth while for him to take land in that part of the state. Sixty days after April 28th , the Nebraska land will be opened for settlement , under the provisions of the new law , and it is believed by Congressman Kinkaid ? that all the government land in Nebraska will be entered under the new act before next fall. Nebraska lands which are capable of irrigation may be set aside by the secretary of the interior , un der the reclamation act , and as most of the irrigable land has al ready been taken up the new law will apply to grazing land only. The Eosebed country containing 416,000 acres in South Dakota , which will be opened under the Burke act , just passed is immed iately north of Nebraska land , which is to be opened , and a great rush of settlers is expected into the two states within the next months. The president will issue his proclamation , opening the Rosebud country within a week or ten days , so that the land may be entered on or about July 1. World-Herald. More Local. , "Wm.
