Not Creel's Man
Grand Forks HeraId

The Herald in noting the item of news
from Bismarck that the house refused to
allow Towner county representation in
D W. Ensign, incidentally committed
the error Of calling him Creel's man,
having confused him with Havervold of
the democrat wagon convention. 1t is
due Mr.. Ensign 10 make this correction,
as no greater injury could be done him
than to associate him politically with
Creel, whose methods he has always op-
posed, be 1t said to his credit.

PUBLIC OPINION.
In Reference to the Interests of
Ramsey County.

Quite large number of representative
business men met at the Office of Judge
OBrien Thursday evening. Judge
O'Brien was chosen chairman and H. C.
Hansbrough secretary. The chairman
stated that the object Of the meeting was
to take some action expressive of the
wishes of the citizens in regard to pro-
posed legislation relative to changes in
the county's boundaries and the forma-
ton of sub judicial districts, in support
of the efforts Of Representative Ruger in
the interest Of this region.
Mr.. Morgan said he had heard that
Nelson county people were making an
effort to have two towns in the eastern
portion of this county set off to them,
and that the same influence was ut work
to make Nelson the senior county in a
proposed sub judicial district.
After some general discussion, Mr..
Brooke moved that q committee of five
be appointed to draft memorial setting
forth the fact that Ramsey county, being
the Oldest county west OF Grand Forks,
should be the senior county in the pro-
posed sub district, and also protesting
against any change in the eastern boun-
diary of the county. The motion was
carried and the chair appointed as such
committee d. E. Morgan. L. c. Saunders,
J. V. Brooke and II. G. Hansbrough,
and at the request Of the meeting the
chair was made member of the conf
mittee.
On motion Of Mr.. Morgan the chair
was authorized to telegraph Representa-
tive Ruger the action of the citizens
meeting and inquire as to the situation
of affairs at Bismarck in these matters.
Adjourned to meet this evening at the
same place at 7:s0 to hear tho report OF
the committee.

mand. DR.. Ruger's answer il expected

DEVILS LAKE, RAMSEY SATURDAY JANUARY 1885,
Another Mcfarland Decision.

AAOVAoG 30SE 0XA0NO O0O1o1Ous
The following is the substance of a let.
ter received from the Grand Forks land
Office by an attorney in this city, and II
will doubtless be read with interest by
many of our readers and especially by
those who are obliged to make their
proof before the Grand Forks office:
Under tho date of January 5, 1885, the
commissioner of the general land office
issued instructions that all pre-emption
proofs taken before notary public must
be rejected for the reason that the law
confers no authority upon notary pub
Tic to take final proof. He also holds
in effect that neither a notary public nor
clerk of court can take the testimony
Of the claimant and his witnesses in o
presumption proof or commuted home
stead proof, although by law the clerk of
court may take the final affidavit in such
cases. He holds that the testimony in
such cases must be taken before register
and receiver. In view Of these instruc-
t1ons and while the same remain in
force, no pre-enption or commuted
homestead proofs will be set before q
notary public or clerk q court or pro-
pate judge, but the testimony Of claimant
and witnesses in all such cases must be
taken before the register and receiver.
If there are any proofs advertised before
you as notary public, notify the parties
that they will be Obliged to advertise
again and have them taken before us.
We supposed that this question was
disposed of about year ago when the
secretary Of the interior decided this
point in effect. From this 1t would seem
that the commissioner either has
assumed to overrule the secretary or has
been hunting ever since to find hole. to
crawl out of and has at last found it. In
either case settlers can take what COM
fort they can in the assurance that they
are not yet obliged to go to Washington
to make final proof.

Notice to Settlers.

The Grand Forks land officers send us
the following important notice to settlers:
In future all pre-emption and commut-
ed homestead proofs must be received at
this office within ten days after the testi-
mony is taken before clerk of the
court, probate court, or notary public,
together with the cash to pay for the land.
All proofs not received within that time
with the payment win be rejected and
Immediately returned to the parties send

THE WHEAT PROSPECT.

Senator John Kelly was on our streets
yesterday. The EAGLE reporter asked him
what he was doing out in Attica. Well, he
said, he got up regularly every morning and
took a squint at the clouds and hurried back
into the house to keep from getting wet He
says he has one hundred acres of corn to
plant and does not intend TO plant for a
month unless he can plant without "hog.
ging' it in. The senator thinks it makes no
difference when he plants, that he will raise
more corn than the man who 'hogs" his
corn in the mud. Senator Kelly says the
farmers IN Attica are now convinced that
the prospect for crop oil wheat next har-
vest is daily becoming more gloomy, that
fully half the wheat was plowed up and
every imaginable enemy Of the wheat-rust,
fly, chints bug, weeds, etc-are working on
the young sickly plant. The following gen.
tlemen were also interviewed as to the wheat
prospect:
Col. Russell, of Union township, thinks
his township will harvest half as much
wheat this year as last; John Kelly, of Atti-
ca township, says one-fourth of crop; T.
Brown, Of Park township, says one-tifth of
crop; Albert Law, of Rockford township,
says one-thlrd of crop; J. Kinyon, Waco
township, says one-fourth of crop; Col.
Sharpnack, Of Gypsum township, says only
one field in his township worth harvesting;
A. X. Blackburn, of Harper county, says
one-tbird of a crop; Ben Robinson. of But
Ter county, says one-third of crop; f. C..
Cole, of Kingman county, one-third of a
crop; j. I. Hinkle, of Sumner county, one
fourth Of crop; James Brown, of Cowley,
one-fourth Of Il crop.
