The aucceg of th Klnkald act in open
ing for sitUenunt a lrge irl of tiio
public domain In Nebraska forma tlie lex',
of an instructive review of l.iter-day pio
neer life by William E. Barlun In ijie
Boston Trunscrlpl. In part he says:
I am paying a brief visit to the extreme
nerthweslem corner of Nebraska, where
It borders upon South Dakota and Wy
oming, and am observing something of
the MCtual operation of that (kvlnkaid)
law and of iho new type of pioneer life.
A yeur ago,- in a visit to the suuthwes:.
I learned of the beginnings of settlement
under t lie new law. but I ttad.no oppor
tunltjr such as now presents Itself to six;
the actual conditions of settlement, nor
hud the law been operative long enougn
to aflord a wide ind'Ktlon concerning Its
benefits.
This law provides that any liead of a
family, or cltlsen of the United States
oxer II years of age, or person who has
declared his intention to become a citizen,
may enter 640 acres of land in western
Nebraska. Any person who ha already
entered ISO acres in any state under the
older homestead laws may add tSO acrex
In seml-arld Nebraska. Any unmarried
woman, of age. may enter land nith all
the benefits belonging to a man of fam
Uy.
The method of procedure is this: The
applicant first visits the land, taking ad
vantage of a "homescekers' excursion," at
little ever balf fare. The best iunds, o
coarse, were long ago pre-empted unde
the former laws permitting each settler
to enter 1C0 acres, but there Is consider
able choice in what remains. The claim
being selected, fit Is paid to the United
tales land office as entry fee, and th
claimant may have six months in which
te establish hi residence. It Is not nee
eaeary to camp on th claim at once to
hold It; the six month may be employed
In the east In settling one affair pre
paraiory to removal.
If the claimant ha been a soldier
sailor, either In the civil war or Ppanish
American war, he may deduct from the
period ef reeldence ou the land the term
of his actual service, not exceeding four
years. This benefit extends to the widows
and minor orplian children of soldier anal
sailors. For all otbera there must be Ave
7 ears' residence on the land, and It must
he actual residence, though reasonable
lea.ee ef absence are permitted. At the
a4 of ta residence period It must be

land Available.
How much land 1 available under this
law? When the bill went Into operation,
less than two years ago. there were 8.826,-
0 acres Included In it benefit. Much
ha already been entered, but much re
mains. The Immense county of Cherry contains
600,000 acre of land available under this
law. The county la some ninety-six miles
In length from east to west and sixty
miles from north to south. The North
western railway runs through Its aorthern
tier of townships and the Burlington runs
Just south of its southern border. The
Niobrara river parallels the Northwestern
road in the northern part and the south
ern portion is watered by the North Loup
lver. The southwestern quarter of the
ounty has no streams and the land is
still in great ranches. There is room in
this county for about 1,000 families, each
on a square mile of land. Judging from
what one sees In parsing through. It is
less desirsble land than may be had
farther west.
The next county west of Cherry is
Pheridan, and south of Sheridan Is Deuel.
These two counties make a strip of land
thirty miles wide, stretching entirely
across the state from- north to south.
They look like better counties than
Cherry. J hey are reached by the snme
railways Sheridan by either the North
western or Burlington and Deuel by the
Burlington. Kach railway has a row of
tiinail towns, with a general population of
100 each, though Rushvllle, the county
seat of Sheridan, ha 600. The total pop
ulatlon of Sheridan county is .01J ami
the bank deposits average IA3.50 for ea.-h
inhabitant. There Is room In this county
for 288 families, each having for Its own
domain a auiiare mile of land.
Dawes, Box Butte and Cheyenne make
another tier of counties acrons the state.
In general one would say that it is a more
desirable section than either of the otherj.
Both railway systems branch here and
afford connections both ways, and vege
tation Is more abundant.
In Dn-ei and Box Butte cour.tles there
is little laud left. But Cheyenne ha room
for families; and Just west are Sioux,
with W,ti2 acre of homestead land, enough
for 677 families, and Scott's Bluff with
room for 172. This brings one to the ex
treme western end of the state.
Escaratoa Types,
I cam out on a homeseekers' excursion.
The trsin was very full. There were three
Pullmans, one of them bound for the Black
Hills, with a personally conducted company
of mining prospectors. If the men com
posing this company show the same enter
prise In staking out and developing mining
claims that they did In pre-empting seats
In the -dining car and In improving their
opportunities there, they will return rich.
The other Pullmans were not overcrowded.
but the tourist sleeper was full, and the
three reclining chair cars were full as they
could be. largely the ttccupsnls were
women and children, the wives and fami
lies of bona -fide eettlers who had gone on
ahead and prepared for the coming of
their households. There were no very poor

people among them. As to age, most of
them appeared to be in the thirties, full of
life and ambition Two women, the wives
of brothers, were to leave the train at my
own destination. Between them they had
six small children. Some older ones had
gone on with their fathers. These two
sisters-in-law tucked away their three
children apiece, removing six pairs of
brand new shoes from the tired little feet,
and In the morning washed and brushed
and shod their little group till they looked
almost as clean as when they started. The
children, were "being good" in the hope
of "reelng papa'' soon, and hearing him
told how good they had been.
One of the fathers met them at the sta
tion with a 1:!-yenr-old son, and they all
spent the night in town. The temperature
dropped, and the wind roue. In the .morn
ing the sun shnne, hut the wind continued,
a terrible wind from the west, that sent
the sand cutting Into people' faces. Such
winds I have encountered In Egypt, and
there one must lie down and cover his
head, but the prairie grass covers most of
the earth In Nebraska, and only the road
and the exposed sand slopes afford portable
material for the pitiless wind. This Is
enough, however, and the west wind was
driving It sgalnst the window panes with
most unpleasant rattle.
Just as we were sitting down to breakfast
two wagons hove In sight, each one filled
high with furniture, each of them havinp
hooked behind It a carriage. The flr-it
wagon was driven by the man whom I liad
seen on the platfortn nnd the other by the
11-year-old lad. In the single carriage hc
i hind the first wagon were three little tots,
lucked in to protect them from the wind.
In the double carriage behind the second
wagon rode the two young mothers with
the three youngest children.
On the breakfast table was a dish of
bananas and another of oranges. I catv
tured both and met my little fr1nds at the
roud. Kach chubby little one went on con
tcntedly eating a banana and holding an
orange for some blissful future, and the
two young mothers tied their own sunboii-
nets closer and hid their babies from the
sand.
Pioneer Hardship.
v ho shall tell the story It la record!
only In heaven of the hardships of pioneer
life as ibey are and have been felt by deli
cate women? ho can tey what It once
meant of Isolation and privation and peril?
Thesu two young mothers were good, typi
cat American women, Intelligent, modest.
finely educated. At this minute as I write
they are facing that sand blast, sheltering
their children, repressing their own home
sickness, cheering each other and looking
forward through the driving dust to a vis
io.i of home and love. Of such sort were
our own mothers, and their mothers, and
those of the Mayflower. Th Mayflower
held no stouter, more womanly souls than
those two women setting their face against
the hot sand. Among the youngster was
a lad of about i years old, who, filled with
the love of adventure and the promise of
Joys unknown, came gladly to me and con
tentedly explored the car vestibule and
the water tank at which the train stopped,
and went back reluctantly to his mother.
He gladly recognised me this morning and

and no stranger could win her love even for
moment. To her I gave the largest
orange; for she is like her mother and the
rest of the brave pioneer women. And when
the drive of thirty miles is over and the
caravan draws up tonight before a new
shack on the treeless plain, there may my
little miss find awaiting her a sturdy
American father who shall kiss her through
the sand and orange Juice, and say she Is
the dearest girl In all the world except her
mother.
What will these families do when they
arrive? They will live In sod houses to be
gin with and haul water until they can
drive a well. They will plow as many acres
a they can have doubtless been plowing
already and then will sow ppeltz, a crop
that thrives in this region, and when hulled
out looks not unlike wheat, . hut w hich is
fed out in the hull and makes a Kood stock
food; macaroni wheat, which is a rich.
hard wheatand tn.ikes a nutritious though
not very white flour; and oats, which laat
will be a pure lottery. They will also plant
a little corn. Bui they will rely on pota
toes as their main crop, and will probably
have a great yield.
Still, as nothing that grows attached to
any one spot of soil can be sure of suf
ficient moisture, they must engage in the
raising of live stock. Cattle must have
many acres to range ovei and the old
ranch system must give way to this semi-
agricultural system. The two square miles
will aflord pasturage for milte a herd, and
whatever remains of unfeneed land around
will augment It. So the two families will
compromise between the farming methods
to which they have been accustomed In
Iowa and the ranch methods of the cow
boy epoch In Nebraska.
Nyiuliol of Civilisation.
There still is a considerable area In the
great northwest where the chief agricul
tural implement Is the can-opener. No pott
yet has sung lis glory as an emblem and
exponent ol civilization, hut it deserves
a fourth place In an honorable lint. First
of all come the n nni and the ploughshare,
cleaving a double furrow in which the
world has marched forward to the clink
of the hammer of Tubal Cain. Next, and
third In the list, is the r:. ivno.se sharp
point upturns no sod and fights no battles,
but which has its own victories in war and
peace. But when civilization emblazons on
Its escutcheon a fourth emblem it will
quarter Its arms and add the can-opener.
It has fought as many battles In the new
west as the ploughshare of the Immigrant,
or the weapon of the Indian fighter, or
the pen of the Immigration agent.
There Is oie new glory in the semi-arid
belt whose symbol Is the can, and the new
can Is the milk can. I know of no more
welcome evidence of the regeneration of
northwestern Nebraska than the fact that
there is cream in the dining car, and good
rich cream at that. It 'was not so in the
olden days. Even as the ancient mariners
ailed over water, water everywhere, and
not a drop to drink, so th tourist jour
neyed through ranches, or boarded upon
i them, and In the midst of horned cattle
