Withthefinalannounce- ment that Wilson had signed the 640 acre home- stead law and an explana- tion of the bill by H. P. An- drews, register of the land office at Sacramento, many of our citizens have gotten busy and made application either for the full amount or have petitioned for an increase sufficient to bring their homestead rights up to the 640 acre allowance under the bill. The News deeming this a matter of great importance to those who contemplate taking advantage of this law herewith publishes the names of the applica- tions so far drawn up by Attorney M. J. Cheatham. No doubt there are many more who have made ap- plication but from this list it will be seen that much in- terest is being taken by the cattle and sheep men who are in need of better graz- ing permits than using the National forests and in the end they will be the owner of the tract. — Jan. 6, 1917 100YEARSAGO...

We moni- tor wealth in number of dollars. We even cat- egorize our state of be- ing via numbers: IQ, BMI, HDL. Certain numbers are more popular than others. Take the number "3." We're conditioned to "think in 3s," which explains why we use expressions like "Top three reasons…" or "Three examples…" Angry parents rely on "3." My father, when upset, never said, "I'm go- ing to count to four;" I'm guessing yours didn't ei- ther. The onset of 2017 and all the tumult associated with the changes swirl- ing around it generated in me an idea to see if I could find some message in the numbers associated with this new year, beginning with day one of course. Some consider one to be a "power number," so New Year's day, indicated by "1/1" could be considered a "power day." However, I pondered, "Is there special significance from the long version of the first date of the year? Might there be a sign embedded therein? In binary, "112017" is "11011010110010001" which totals "9" if one adds that up. Maybe this year's prov- idential number is 9? One who is dressed "to the nines" is lookin' fine, strut- tin' like a peacock; high class personified. Also, "nine" in French, "neuf," means both nine and new. Finally, being "on cloud nine" of course means happy or euphoric. As an aside, I wondered where that expression came from and looked it up. It found its origin in the 1950s via the US Weather Bu- reau. Among weather-folk, "Cloud Nine" is a cumulo- nimbus cloud at a height of 10 kilometers, which is high even by the standard of clouds. Aren't you glad you know that? Anyway I digress, maybe, just maybe, 2017 is the year of happi- ness, high standards, and newness; I am down with that. Yet, I soldiered on, turn- ing to numerology. In full disclosure, numerology is a topic about which I know zero, another unfortunate "power number." I could not tell my Soul Urge Num- ber from my street ad- dress. But, I believe there is a lot of adding numerals together — or maybe there isn't; like I said I really know nothing about it. Ei- ther way, that's what I did. I added 1+1+2+0+1+7 and came up with "12." One of the top ranked searches re- lated to numerology and the number 12 states in part, "The number 12 is a creative number…the ba- sic meaning or essence contains the ideas of opti- mism, creative self-expres- sion, inspiration, explora- tion, and cooperation." That gave me hope, which — if you're keeping track — is "8" in numerol- ogy. Yet, if I'm adding, why not continue to add the digits in the resultant sum of "12"? Wouldn't that make more sense? So, "1+2=3" and therefore, "3" must be the number for 2017. Oy! Now I'm confused. We have several promis- ing numbers: 9, 12, 3. Add those and the result is "24." Two + 4=6. To the inter- webs I go to discover more good news: "Six is consid- ered the most harmoni- ous of all single-digit num- bers… the most impor- tant influence of the 6 is its loving and caring na- ture. Properly nicknamed, 'the motherhood number,' it is all about sacrificing, caring, healing, protecting and teaching others." With so many numbers swirling about, I'm going crazy. Maybe I'm working this too hard, lost in the weeds. And then it dawns on me, if I'm looking at finding a meaning for the WHOLE year, I would use the number of the year only, omitting any partic- ular date. Instead of add- ing 1+1+2+0+1+7," simply use 2+0+1+7; the sum being "10," boiled down to 1+0=1. Voila! There it is. "One." Look at this year one mo- ment at a time, pick one thing each day to help yourself and improve the lives of those around you. Do it until completion. Re- peat as necessary. After all, as they say, "The million mile journey begins with one step." For the re- cord, one million is 11110100001001000000 in binary.
