Important TO Pre.Einptors.

4 special telegram to the Pioneer
Press, from Duluth, bearing date the
18th inst, IS as follows, and is Of i'm
portance to pre-emptors generally:
The land officers here received
from Commissioner Mcfarland, Of the
general land office, a decision on the
question whether pre-emptor can
mortgage or sell his pre-emption, after
final proof has been made, 10 a party
for money advanced, being unable to
make Improvements or payments on
it. The case is that of Michael Sob
ieski and Frederick Engel, who en-
tered n presumption here and carried
out the requirements OF the law re-
garding settlement and improvements.
When proof was offered it was shown
by the agent, W r. Mashall, that the
claimants had agreed to mortgage the
land after proof TO Michael Fink, to
secure the payment of money adyanc-
ed for supplies and information furn-
ished them. The land officers here,
Sept. %, 1888, on this showing re-
jected the proof and claims, on the
ground that the pre-emptors did not
take the land in question for their
own exclusive use and benefit. The
case was appealed, and the following
decision, overriding that of the local
land officers, has been given:
There being no other objection to proof than
agreements FOR mortgages, the question to be de
termined is their effect on homestead entries In
that regard, you are informed it was ruled BIZ the
honorable secretary of the interior IN the case of
Larson ys. Weischcckcr involving presumption
entry. tCopps L. o. vol 9, page co. that mort
gage issued by pre- empti5n entryman prior TO
final proof TO secure money loaned him 10 pay
the government price OF land, is not such con
yeyanee or agreement as win inyalidate his en-
Try under the law. BY analogy The same prinei
pie applies to the case Of committed homestead
entries, and il is immateria as affecting entries
that part Of the money borrowed is applied in
a manner TO enable the claimant to comply with
the requirement OF the law, and or the better
ment of the claim rs well as pay the govern
ment price for The land. Therefore, the proof Of
the question submitted in support Of the respec-
tive applications to commute should be accepted
and tinal certificates issued thereon, and thesame
is herewith returned.
The decision is very interesting for
all pine land regions, as a great
amount Of loaning money by pre-
enptors IS done, and this decision vir-
tually overrules a great many decis-
ions by officers here and elsewhere and
puts new light on the matter.

The next thing in order was TO fill
the vacancy in the Central Committee
caused by the removal from town Of
its Chairman, Mr.. VIM. Cox. 1t
transpired that this "anti-administra-
ton" party had got together some
time ago and filled the vacancy by
promoting Mr.. Ansley, a member of
the committee, to the Craftsmanship
and then putting j. Bond Jr., onto
the tail end of the committee, and
without the knowledge or consent of
Nh Zachau, the other member of the
committee. This is fair sample of
the WY in which these fellows pro-
pose - run the party and override
the will of the people constituting the
Republican party in Superior. But
the voters Of the party present last
Monday evening set down heavy on
that way Of doing things, by remov-
ing Mr. Bond, putting Mr. Ansley
in his proper place and electing Mr..
Martin Pattison TO fill the vacant
chair

Delegate Convention.

The Republican Delegate conven-
ton held at the store room of Mr.. A.
Zachau last Monday evening, for the
purpose of electing four delegates to
attend the Assembly Convention which
was held at Spooner Yesterday after
noon, was largely attended and quite
warmly contested by the two elements
of the party. For convenience sake
we might term these two elements
Administration" and anti Admins
tration, " the latter party being organ
lied and led on by half dozen self
constituted leaders Of the party, who
want to kick the others aside and con-
troll the party and divide the loaves
and fishes among themselves, and
some of them who furnish the most
"chin music" have just been here long
enough to become voters and have not
a dollars worth Of interest in the place
besides being very verdant for would be
political leaders. The other faction
includes all who do not feel like trust
ing the management of our political
affairs to such a clique, whose princi-
pal motto is "We must rule" The
two factions met in a square good nat
ured contest Monday evening, and
the anti-feIlowa got left in very good
shape.
The convention was called to order
by Mr. Zachau, the only legitimate
member Of the Central Committee pre-
sent, when the struggle commenced in
the election Of a permanent chairman.
Mr.. Bond, on the part Of the anti
faction nominated Mr.. L. T. Johns
ton and Mr.. Tubbs on the part of the
other party nominated Mr.. d. E Rob
erts. The temporary chairman de-
claired Mr.. Roberts elected, but this
was questioned and Il division of the
house was called for and had, after
which there was no further dispute
and Mr. Roberts took the chair.
Mr.. j. Bond Jr., was then nomin-
ated by the regulars" and of course
elected Secretary.
A motion was made that the Chair
appoint committee of five to report
four names for delegates 10 Spooner,
for endorsement or rejection by the
Convention.
An amendment was offered to this
motion to the effect that the conven-
ton proceed to ballot for the four del
egates, the four persons receiving the
highest number of votes to be declar-
ed duly elected such delegates. This
motion prevailed, and the convention
proceeded to ballot The ballot re-
suited rs follows. Sc votes heinU cast.

The st. Paul Pioneer Press SAYS that
r. B. Wilson, special live stock agent Of
the Northern Pacific, passed through St.
Paul, en- route to Chicago. Mr.. Wilson
had jus: returned from the Montana
ranches. He says the cattle on the ranches
are in an exceedingly fine condition, and
promise to winter we'll. The increase this
season has been about Is per cent, or about
IS per cent. greater than in former years.
During the present year a little over ooo,
600 head of stock was taken into Montana.
OF these, $4,000 were. shipped over the
Northern Pacific, and upwards Of 10000
driven overland from Texas. East-bound
shipments. Mr.. Wilson says, continue very
heavy. He estimates that $4,000 head Of
beef cattle will be shipped during the sea-
son. Recently 1,5 carloads were. delivered
ct Minnesota Transfer, and AT carloads
were reported on the road.

THE ELECTION AT DILLON.

The election in Dillon passed Of peace
ably, but was full of excitement. Active
work was done all day for favorite candi-
dates on both the Democratic and Repub-
lican tickets. The vote Of the precinct
was slightly Democratic, standing: Toole,
no; Knowles, 165-a Democratic gain of
81 over the vote of lSS. for Delegate to
Congress. Scratching was general. The
straight Democratic tickets outnumbered
the straight Republican tickets, and both
combined numbered about 20. There was
no fuss or fights at the polls, although
challenging was freely iadulged in. The
vote Of Dillon reached 336, against 36o in
1852, but Blacktail precinct, casting 81
votes, was cut off Of Dillon since the vote
Of 1882. Had Blacktail voted with Dillon
the vote would have been 3SS-an increase
Of 70 votes in two years. The vote, in tab
ular form, may be found on another page
Of to-day's TRIBUNE, from which it will
be seen that I" scratching" in Dillon on
election day was general with both parties.
