NEW HOMESTEAD REGULATIONS
Secretary Hitchcock Upsets Previous
Regulation Regarding Unprotected
Homestead Claims.

Devils Lake, n. D., July 9.-One of
the most important decisions which
has reached the local land Office for
some years is the ruling by f. A.
States VS.. Lizzie Hillerman, formerly
Lizzie Englehcrn.
The department of the interior has
always held that where two persons
both holding unprotected homesteads
marry, the parties must elect which
homestead they desire to retain, and
the other entry at once reverts to the
government, but this long-respected
ruling is now modified in the case
above cited.
In tine Lizzie Hillerman case, the
facts are as follows, briefly stated:
Lizzie Englehorn, Oct. 6. 1893. made
homestead entry for eighty acres Of
valuable land heal Churches Ferry in
this county, and Jan. 10, 1904, she
married Frank Hillerman, who was
then holding an unprotected homestead
entry.
Later Frank Hillerman made final
proof for his land and a patent was
issued to him. After Lizzie E%ngelhorn
made her entry and before her mar
riage she built a small house on the
land and established her residence
therein and lived in the building
few months, but for several years
after her marriage she practically
abandoned the land.
Shortly after Frank Hillerman made
final proof, Mrs. Hillerman, with hel
husband and family, re-established hel
residence on her land and made
final or fve-year proof for her lant
in June, 1900.
The proof was rejected and entr!
held for cancellat'or IN the grount
that at the time of her marriage tt
Frank Hillerman, claimant held thi
unprotected entry and her husband
also had a homestead not proved up
Mrs. Hillerman appealed to the sec
rotary of the interior, claiming tina
while there were decisions to no en-
unfolding the commissioners actor
, there was no law for such holdings.

These are the states whose cleo
toral vote was for Mr.. Bryan in 1900:

1t will be seen that the states which
were Republican in 1900 have gained
nineteen votes in the electoral col
lege, while the states which were
Democratic four years g have
gained but ten votes. Should the
same states be carried by each party
in 1Sv. as in 1900 the Republicn ma
jority in the electoral college would
be nine more than it was at the last
election.
The figures are regarded with
mournful interest by Democratic news
papers, non OF which have attempted
to figure out how a Democratic ma
jority is to be counted. Two hundred
and t~hirty-nine votes are necessary.
Should the Democrats carry all of the
states which went for Bryan in 1900
1t will be necessary to get seventy
three more votes. Even if the "con-
sentative Eastern candidate" accept
able to Wall street and the trusts, were
to carry New York, New Jersey and
Connecticut, a clear impossibiblity,
where would the other fifteen votes
come from? This is the problem
which the Democrats ~re-organizers are
trying to solve.
The tables presented are worth
preserving until the time when specu-
lation upon the next campaign be.

are of more immediate interest than
they are.

abandonment when she returned to

not lived full five years on the land
she should be allowed TO make com

woman to make Communication proof
of her land.
In view of the fact hat every year
on account of marriages wherein the
parties both hold unprotected claims
hundreds of homesteads are unneces
sarily allowed to be cancelled by the
department of the interior, this de
cision viii be of great interest to thou

western states.

THE VOTE.

There is always more or less specula-
ton as to the possibilities OF a future
national election, says the Seattle
Post-Intelligencer, no matter how far
distant it may be. As an intelligent
basis for such speculations there are
here presented tables showing the
electoral vote as it was in 1900, under
the old apportionment, and the cleo
toral vote of the same states under
the present apportionment. These
states went Republican in 1900:
