A correspondent wants to know If II
''squatter' has any preferred rights
on claim upon which he has made
improvements, but has not filed. We
answer he has not. Any person living
on surveyed land is supposed to file if
he wants to keep the land. Before
answering this query VIC wrote the
Bismarck land office and received the
following reply: "No. First come, first
served"
Mrs. G. S. Lanes school at Win

are few particulars in which we do
not agree with this advice; and,
besides, it is not Sufficiently definite.
Ben doesn't tell US whether we must
first cut of the corn, or whether it
should be soaked while part of the
toe. Again-howevcr it may be with
Glencoe folks--in these parts it is not
usual for the people to wear corns that
have worms in 'em. Furthermore,

sufficiently tame down this way to
tackle an innocent sleeper and nibblc
! at bis foot. Uncle Ben will have to
revise or eliminate that paragraph An
his next edition Of the book.
