LAND OFFICE NOTES.

The law gives a homestead for the pur-
pose of a home, not for the purpose of en-
abling the entryman to acquire title
without reference to its uses the princi-
pal being that the homested is not
merely the premporary residence to the
head of the fanny, but the permanent
residence of all.-Commissioner Sparks,
June 5, 1885.
Occasional visits and staying a few
nights on the land is not evidence of
residence. Homestead entries can not be
maintained be merely perfunctory acts or
by Improvements alone. The law gives
q homestead for the purpose Of a home,
not for the purpose of acquiring title to
$50 acres of land without living on it,
Assistant Commissioner Harrison. June
s, 1855.
To sustain his settlement pre- emption
claimant must make some substantial
Improvement on the land at the date of
settlement, snch as would be notice to
all that he claims the land. A shanty
l0xl2 feet one-half on the land, is not
sufficient.-Acting Secretary MuldrQw,
April 80, 1885.
The removal of of Improvements after
final proof, prims facae evidence of bad
faith. Entries not made in good faith
are liable to contest, investigation and
cancellation.
To be subject to timber culture entry
the section Of land must be devoid Of
timber. The rule established by former
decisions that to bar an entry the section
must contain at least ten acres ST tImbee
of at least 675 trees per acre, is held to be
outside the law and not to be sustained.
Commissioner Sparks, May q, 1885.

Our attention has been called to an
article from the Stockgrower's Journal
presumably the one published at Miles
City,, that is unlike anything we have
ever seen in Montana paper. The ar
ticle, which is a long one, goes Oh to say
that there is no farming land in Mon
tana, that we have no soil, we have not
the seasons, that we may raise cattle and
we may mine, but we cannot farm sue
cessfully. It then asks, "Who can point
out q prosperous farmer in eastern Mon
tana n Perhaps the Journal refers only
to the region directly surrounding Miles
City, but if includes Gallatin valley in
eastern Montana, as is generally done by
people who have been in the territory
six months, we can answer the question
by pointing out large number Of sue
cessfhl farmers, who have made more by
raising grain, vegetable, etc, than any
newspaper man can expect to make
We can show you grain over six feet
high, yielding l25 bushels per acre. We
can show you land, and an abundance Of
il, that raises wheat year after year that

The figures are beginning to come in
on the worlds wheat crop and experts
are estimating the deficiency, which is
undoubtedly large. The Northwestern
Miller's Lon ION correspondent, who is
tt1r1ii tered tt7 be e.ae ef4he raes+ reliable
statisticians i'm cereals in the world, this
week roughly compares the production
in various wheat growing countries with
the wants of importing countries and
comes to the conclusion that the demand
will be considerably in excess of the
supply and that consequently higher
prices must prevail before the next crop
is harvested. This conclusion is UNI
doubtedly that of all who have given the
matter attention, But the question is
when will the market begin to feel the
results of the short supply?

Perhaps the river convention which has
been IN session, at the call of the COVER
nor Of Minnesota, may not achieve its
object, but there can be no doubt about
the efficacy Of united and earnest efforts
on the part of the people of all the sec
tions there to be represented. All petty
local jealousies should be forgotten and
strong movement organized which
shall compel congress not only to listen,
but to act in behalfof early and thorough
removal of all distractions to navigation
in the Mississippi and Missouri. Ifthere
were no other arguments, the single one
that the east and the south are getting
more than their share of the benefits of
governmental expenditure, as compared
with the portion they contribute, is all
sufficient. But the great rivers are COM
mercial highways of inestimable value
to those who dwell in the states along
their banks, and their number is SO large
that the nation must listen to and ans
wer their request for justice

The recent speech of Mr.. Parnell, de-

That MEDICINAL WHIsKY-Ponsford,
Mounts & Co. find their trade rapidly in
creasing through the fundamentally of
the Duffy Malt Whisky, so highly re-
commended by the wholesale drug firm
of French, Richards 4 Co., of Philadel-
phia, and eminent scientists. The
claims for this medicinal article are
fully guaranteed by the fact that owing
to a new process of distillation it is made
absolutely free from that deadly poison,
known as fusil oil. Ii is not adulterated
with glycerine and syrups, or colored
with red wood. Those who are weak
and inactive from over-work viii find it
as advertised bracing, life-giving
tonic.

scented for this season at special scale OF

greatest bargains ever offered. The gen
