"We have not received official
call from Chairman P. L. Hall , oi
the Democratic State Central Com
mittee , but we would suggest that
a democratic county convention
be held in Valentine on Saturday ,
May Mth , for the purpose of
selecting delegates for the state
democratic delegate convention ,
which meets in Omaha , June 1st
to elect delegates to the St. Louis
democratic National convention
July 6 , 190i. 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.

Caucus Gall ,
We would suggest that the dem
ocrats and those believing in the
principles of the democratic
party or interested in the\ \ success
of that party , that they hold meet
ings in their respective precincts
to select delegates to attend the
county convention in Valentine ,
Saturday , May 14,1904 , for the
the purpose of selecting delegates
to attend the state democratic dele
gate convention in Omaha June 1 ,
1904. The representation will be
based upon the vote cast for Judge
Sullivan at last election. Each
precinct is entitled to one delegate
and in addition thereto one delegate
for each 10 votes or major fraction
thereof.

To DEMOCRAT :
Hearst has carried
eight out of ten Con-
'gressional districts in
Chicago. This insures
Illinois to Hearst by
overwhelming major
ity. Illinois has been
secured by Hearst de
spite opposition of
local and state demo
cratic machines. It
means Hearst , if nom
inated , would carry
Illinois by 75000 ma

WashingtonD.C.May 3. 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-

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.
