Representative Marshall has intro
duced the following bill in the house:
'That whenever it shall appear to
the commissioner OF the general land
Office that an error has heretofore been

ton proofs under the homestead laws;
and that there was no fraud practiced

proofs; and Anal payment has been
made and a final certificate Of entry
has been issued to the entryman, and
that there are no adverse claimants to

tificates Of entry shall be confirmed to
the entryman, his heirs, and legal

H ~.
North Dakota Farms Raising Corn For
Shipment 70 Firms In Germany.
Fargo Call: Time was, and that not
50 many years ago, that the North
American bison was roaming at will
over the present state Of North Dakota,
his only companion the Indian and the
prairie dog. North Of the present city
of Fargo there was a blank space away
up to the home Of the then Hudson's
Bay Co. Gradually the sturdy Morse
men and others of. their class sought
the northwest in quest Of homes. Out
of their efforts has come the building
up of a vast empire, of which North
Dakota sof today is the shining star.
AT first there was a doubt as to the
possibility Of raising wheat in this
so-called .sbarren zone, later even the
great Joseph Cook, In a lecture in the
opera house, in 1884, which was then
at the corner of Broadway and Nor
thern Pacific avenue, made the bold
statement, that you are about in the
center Of the wheat raising center Of
the United States. Many Of his audi
ence doubted it. His statement be-
came a fact. The raising Of corn at
that time. was never given a thought.
But time works wonders. Today
North Dakota is shipping seed corn to
Germany, mind you, to Germany. Last
week Mr.. James Holes Of this city,
shipped to Messrs. Herren, Metz 4
Co., Steglitz, near Berlin. a big ship
ment of seed corn When the fact
is considered that the distance is SO
great 700 miles-little wonder Is
there that the fact may be considered
notable These are among the things
which are being accomplished by a
proper cultivation of the soil in the
Flickertail state by an Intelligent class
of farmers. r.. .. y. s$s .,2 y.

THE CHARGES AGAINST GRIes1Y

Washington correspondent Tells What
. are the Charges Against Col. Melvin
Grigsby Alaskan District Attorney.
A Washington special says: &: The
department Of justice has nearly con-.
cluded its Investigation of the charges
against Col. Melvin Grigsby of South
Dakota, the United States district at
torney at Nome, and Attorney General
Knox will probably take conclusive &C
ton in the case at an early day. :. 5.,s.
It appeared today for the first time
what the real nature of the charges is.
Sworn statements have been fled with
the attorney general, and these are
backed by the reports of two special
agents of the department sent to Nome
last summer, saying that Grigsby re-
ceived $4,000 from the Pioneer Mining
company as the price of refraining
from prosecuting the company.
Among the papers in the case is the
sworn statement of Jafet Linderberg.
in which he declares that the fee in
question was paid to Grigsby by him.
self in order to retain him as his coun-
sci. He swears that the money was
not paid on behalf of the cocpany, but
by himself as an individual. Other evil
dence On file, however, shows that the
$4,000 in question was paid over to
Grigsby by the Pioneer Mining COM
pany and not by Lind rberg as an in
diyidual. rs Ell v gs5s. .s3l NH
The district attorney admits that he
received $4,000 from Linderberg, but
denies that it was paid to him for any
improper purpose. He says that he
was engaged as counsel. It is not I'M
usual for United States district attor-
neys to engage in the private practice
of law during their terms of office, and
I the departme nt Of justice does not dis
courage this usage. IA: Il HI q . $i:
It appears from the information OBJ
tanned by the special agents that when
Grigsby landed at Nome on A certain
Saturday in the summer OF 4 1902 he i'm
mediately met representatives. Of the
Pioneer Mining company. On the fol-
lowing Monday, as shown BY this eyi-
dence, Grigsby appeared IN the federal
court in his official capacity il con-
nection with the Pioneer Mining COM
pany's case involving the title Of q. g
claim In Glacier creek. Al few days
later, and before the Judgment il this
case was handed down the SIC, 00e
retainer was paid oyer to Grigsby
either BY Linderberg OF by tbs Pioneer
Mining company.

night but IN general his position may
be stated as folIows:

SHALL WE CELEBRATE?
Action Must Be Taken Soon if
 We Do So

It is now only five weeks till the Fourth of July, and if the business men of Williams intend to get to- gether and have a celebration it must be done soon, as time is get ting short.
 A suggestion is hereby offered that meeting be held at the town hall next Wednesday evening at S:30 o'clock, at which time and place the matter can be discussed as to whether we do or do not cele- brate
 Another thing which it would be well to have discussed before the same meeting is the manner in which new ball ground and race track can be secured. By the sell ing of few lots and the moving of houses thereon the old ball ground and track have been practically put out of business. We have been spoken to by prominent citizen. who owns some good horses, with regard to this track matter, and he stated that there are a number of horsemen who would be willing to go in on securing a new track that could be kept in good condition permanently. There are good loca tions for both track and ball grounds near town, and it would be we'll to have the matter discussed at the meeting Wednesday even ing. Come out, voice your senti- ments, and let's have a big cele- bration.
