Usage Trust Lands.-An entry should
not be cancelled upon the adverse report
Of q special agent. To secure the right
to purchase these lands compliance
with tho requirements Of the :pre.emp.
ton laws with respect to settlement and
residence must be shown.-Sec'y to
Com'r, Jan. %, 1885, case Of Abraham
L. Burke.
Railroad Grant-Settlement Claim
AS the righto Of tho company did not be.
come effective until after the public land
laws were extended over the territory,
and settlement claim then existing ex.
cepts the land in controversy from the
grant.-Sec'y. to Com'r, Jan. %, 1886,
case, Cen. Pac. r. r.. VS.. Wadman,
Utah.
Neutrality-suspicious. the pres
emit practice it lies with the department
to determine whether q. case shall be
dismissed for defect in the appeal from
the commissioners decision. AN al.
legation that the decision is "cont1ary
to tho evidence is not such a specif.
cation Of error as will entitle q party to
be heard on appeal.-Sec'y to Com'r,
Jan. rs, 1886, case of Henderson VS..
Johannessen.
Practice-Laws of tho Statc.-Pro-
ceedings before tho district land offices
are controlled by the rules Of practice
adopted by the Department., and not by
the laws regulating civil procedure in
the States and Territories.-Sec'y to
'Com'r Jan. 25, 1886, case Of Dewey VS..
Christie.
Communication entry, residence, etc.
The profer Of Communication proof with.
in the shortest possible period after en-.
try, invites special scrutiny into tho
qualifications of the settler and his com .
pliance with the law. Residence must
be shown as an essential prerequisite
to the right Of Communication. The pur.
chaser, after Communication entry and
prior to patent, takes no better title
than the entryman had to confer, and
whatever right is thus acquired is sub.
ject to tho subsequent action, Of the
land department. An entry will not
be sent to board Of adjudication where
there is inexcusable failure to comply
with the law.-Sec'y to .Com'r, Jan, 25
1856, case R. NJ. Chrisinger.
Practice-Appeal.-The case being
dismissed by the local Office, on tho mo-
ton Of the contestee, and no appeal
taken therefrom, it was error to hold
the entry for cancellation, and a fu rthcr
hearing is accordingly ordcred.-Sec'y
to Com'r, Jan. 25, 1886, case Fultz ya.
Elder.
Rejected Applications.-On the pre-.
sentation Of an application for public
land, the local office, in the event of
not accepting the same, should duly Ell.
dorse upon such application the reason
for such action, and note upon the rec.
ord o memorandum of the transaction.

stations are now annually imported
from France to the United States.
The immense wealth they are adding to
the nation will DO better understood
from the estimate that tho first cross of
q Percheron stallion with q native mare
doubles the selling value Of the colt
when mature. The accomplishment of
these grand results are greatly due to
tho energy Of one man, to whom the
American people are grately indebted
he having imported and distributed to
almost every state and territory, nearly
1000 Percheron horses. A visit to Mr..
NJ. w. Dunham's "Oaklawn Farm" at
Wayne, Illinois, will give new ideas Of
the magnitude of the horse improve

NEWPORT, Dak., Feb. l6.-The wealth
erhas been quite mild the last two weeks,
the snow melting more or less nearly
every day until the 18th, when the wind
changed to the northwest and gave us a
taste of what it could do when it got "on
its ear" Every one vas satisfied from
the way 1t went.to work that it under
stood its business and did not need an
encore. The clerk of the weather got so
excited over the blowout that he forgot
to wind up the thermometers and the
result is we don't know how cold it wa,
as they are all run down.
G. E. Jones took advantage of the fine
weather to put up an addition to his
house, and Father Royce took advan-
tage Of the postmaster and put an addi-
ton on his Jones not the father's) fam
lily. No cards.
MI. Talmadge is having bad luck with
the calves he brought from New York.
1t was too late in the fall to ship calves
SO far, there not being time for them to
get over the bad effects of the Journey
before winter set in.
O. NJ. Towner lost one of his cattle in
a singular manner a short time ago. 1t
seems that q wad Of hay got lodged in
some way in the back part ofthe mouth,
thus causing the starvation of the ami
NAL, he not being able to swallow any
thing.
There is a petition being circulated for
q daily mail from Minnewaukan to Viii

!! The jamestown Capital makes some
extracts from q letter written from Bis
and published in the Toledo Telegram.
The writer is a little off in his 'jogger-
ply" but his intentions are excellent.
Speaking Of a time when the writer was
visiting at Fl. Lincoln, he says: Alady
camo in from the next quarters" all
furred and cloaked, and as she threw Oft
her "wraps," the swapping Of the cleo.
tricity could DO heard. and as she greet
ed a lady(woman-like with embraceS)l
could see the fash Of light and hear the
report, as they kissed. 1t struck me
that that kind Of weather might be IN
healthy for young lovers within
reach Of the parental cor. In my
younger days I heard Of Sparkling"
but was never certain Of its meaning be-
fore. Diffidence and inexperience, per.
haps, kept me from attempting to test
this method. In my time l have seen
all kinds Of %salutation, official, operate,
social and affectionate, and heard kisses
holy and otherwise, and am sufficiently
demoralizcd to have an engraving of
the "Abbott kiss" in my room, but for
originality and effectiveness, I a rec
ommend the "blizzard electrical kiss"
Of Dakota. .
Everybody is q living battery, emit
ting sparks upon touching them. You
see the flash, hear the snap, and feel
the sting. Silk dresses do not "rustle"
they crackle; hair cannot be combed;
pins stick to your fingers. In taking off
my wolf robe, in which l had a shawl
pin, l tried to lay it on my dressing
table, but like Banquo's ghost, cit
would not down" until after several
trials.
This condition Of the atmosphere
must certainly affect people physically
and mentally. The air is light, but
there is no difficulty in breathing it.
1t is exhilarating and buoyant. There
is q joyousness, a freedom from ennui,
and positive love oflife seen and felthere
that is surprising. Every thing here is
on a large scale. The farm crops are
stupendous yields. 1t is q land Of mag
nificent distances.
They visit here as people do business
elsewhere. Long distances are nothing
to them. They go to St. Paul and
Chicago, 500 and 1000 miles to see the
theater and do a little shopping, and &c,
home without their next door neighbor
knowing it. They go junketing to Far
| go, Grand Forks, Yankton, and a dozen
children attend a party q hundred mi
les away, and ladies 60 to jamestown,
over one hundred miles, to take tea,
Tho other day Governor Pierce went to
