WOMEN.

Any unmarried woman, of age, can
take a claim and if she marries before
she has acquired title, and continues her
residence on her claims, she can pro-
coed to prove up at the proper time, the
same as if she had remained single, but
husband and wife cannot secure separate
tracts by maintaining separate residences
at the same time. All the sons and
daughters of a family, who are of age,
are entitled to take up land.
HOW INITIATED.
The right of homestead may be in
itiated either (l) by entry at the United
States land Office, or ~ by making an
actual settlement upon the land. If the
former method is adopted, the entryman
has six months within which to make a
settlement and establish his residence
upon the land. If the latter, the settler
has three months within which to make
his entry.
FINAL PROOF.
Final proof cannot be made until the
expiration of five years from date OF
entry and made within seven years.
After the expiration Of fourteen months
from date of entry the law allows the
entrymen t. secure title to the tract, if
so desired, by paying for it in cash at the
legal rate of SI.25 per acre, or $3.50 if
within railway land grant limits, and
making proof of settlement, residence
and cultivation for that period. The law
allows only one homestead privilege to
one person, and does not recognize the
sale of a claim before final proof is made.

Had they been ac- quainted with me, suh--had they known just what sort of a man Colonel Bunker was-it would have prevented certain mistakes and saved certain per- sons from humiliation.
 Among the important measures in froduced, sub, was what the opposition was pleased to term my swamp owl hootad.

 Come loge her.

J6HTleS says MunToe WnIpS
 Couple More Big Fellows He May
 Take Him on--elardner Lost. But
 Decision Was Hooted~--Jack 0'Rden
 Has One More Bout.
 The possibility of a battle between Jim Jelries and Jack Munroe seems brighter than ever just now. The miners victory over Al Limerick in Boston on Tuesday night has boosted his stock and the boilermaker has de- cided to meet him. Jeffries, however. makes stipula tions. He wants the miner to defeat few more of the big men first, and this Munroe will try to do. provided he can find. opponents.
 Jeffrfes seemed plea ased over Nun roe's victory and complimented the miner. s.I. will fight Munroe,'' he said, "but just when and where can't say. I have number of theatrical contracts, but I will break them if some Of the clubs care to bid for the mill. From the way things look at present. the fight. if arranged, will take place in San Francisco
 Jeffries was perturbed over the re- port that Gus Ruhlin was ready to meet him and give him the entire purse if he Ruhlin failed to stop him (Jef- fries) inside of twenty rounds. T don't believe that Ruhlin made such an assertion" the champion declared. Abut if he did. am ready for busi- ness.'' ssg
 Jim Coffroth. matchmaker of the Yo- semitic A. c. of San Francisco, is still in New York but thus far has not seen Jeffries relative to a fight. He came ostensibly to arrange battle between Jeffrfes and the winner of the Fereu- son-Johnson contest. decided last week. However. as Johnson won. his plans were upset, because Jeffries has announced that he will never fight a negro. Coferoth. however, will try to bring about a match between Jeffries and Munroe instead. If tfis cannot be done right away, 1t is sad that he will have Mt1nroe tackle Johnson or some other good man on the Pacific coast, in a twenty round fight.
