of the difficulty.

JAPS AGAIN
VISIT HERE.

Tugboat men who we've at work III
the local harbor yesterday afternoon
claim that they noticed the two
japanese in the little craft tied at the
Il elk of the Nixon shipyard.
Their presence was connected in the
popular mind with the expected de-
parture from Lewis Nixon's shipvard
of ten torpedo boats which, it is now
established almost to a certainty, are
in ended for the Russian government.
Up to about three weeks ago the
Jlps often went to Elizabeth on a
train from New York and sped away
in an automobile in waiting for them
at the station. On other occasions they
left a Central railroad train at Eliza
bethport and changed cars to a train
on the Long Branch division. They
have no. been seen in Elizabeth for
about three weeks and nothing was
heard of the m until they appeared in
this city. 1t is not likely they came
here in q snowstorm OH a pleasure
jaunt.
These Japs are very well dressed
They look Americanlzed and from
appearances have been in this country
long enough to have acquired the
language. Whether or not they can
speak English, they bought New York
and New Jersey newspapers more
than once at Rosen's news stand here.

Land Office Doings.

Precedent which will govern appli-
cations for change in description Of
homestead filings or timber and stone
entries was established through rul-
ing received Saturday in Duluth from
the general land office in which the
petition of Mary E. Coffin was denied.
The decision is i'm confirmation of
ruling which was made by the Du-
luth land officials some time ago.
Originally Mrs. Coffin was the
owner of a piece Of land which was
subsequently taken over by the gov
eminent as part of the Big Horn
forest reserve. In exchange for this
REIMBURSEMENT, the government
issued to Mrs. Coffin, forest reserve
scrip which entitled her TO make a
selection in any other part of the
country.
This scrip was retained by Mrs.
Coffin until Sept. l, 1901, when she Sc
lected an eighty-acre tract in 6l-2 in
Cook county and presented the papers
in payment therefor. This choice
was made after locator had looked
over the field and reported it to con-
tain valuable timber.
Shortly after the title was obtained,
Mrs. Coffin discovered that mistake
had been made in the description and
that tie intention had been TO secure
adjoining eighby-acre tract. But
when they investigated, they found
that this land had been entered and
accordingly they asked to be allowed
to file on similar piece of land in 81
9. 1t was on this application that
the case was taken to Washington.
Aside from the fact that a recur-
renee of such applications would con-
fuse the record. the Washington
officials took the stand that the select
ion of land with forest reserve scrip
was purely a business venture in
which the applicant must rely on his
own judment. If the error had come
through fault of the government, it
would be willing to make restitution,
but where the prospective owner OF
the property was to blame, he must
stand the consequences.
The Washington officials also dis
missed the contest brought by James
FermOrrio against Wilhelm Lehman
on the homestead entry made in Sec
tion %, 6l-23. The attempt to cancel
Lehman'S entry was made on the
ground that he had been absent from
the land longer than the law allows.
After an examination Of the testi-
mony on both sides it was decided
he had been absent from his claim
only when in quest of Il livelihood or
through sickness and then only at
such intervals as were permitted by
law.

Has Created Anxiety.

Anton Zazaski, West Duluth tim
Der cruiser, who left his home for the
northern part of Cook county about
the middle of December, has not been
heard from and friends greatly fear
that lie has lost his life either by star
Walton after becoming lost in the
woods or by being killed by timber
wolves. Inquiries have been sent out
to the lumber camps in Cook county
and every effort to locate him is being
made.
Zazaske went to Duluth early in the
winter from Wisconsin, where lie had
cruised for years. When lie left Du-
luth he expected to be gone three
weeks and at the longest month.
He came to Ely by rail and then
struck out on snow shoes across Lake
county intending to go into the nor
thern part of Cook county and come
back overland TO Two Harbors. The
trip he proposed TO take is long and
perilOus one.
Zazaske was equipped with good
supply of food and intended to secure
game TO furnish him with the fresh
meat he needed. He expected TO make
the trip without any special difficulty
as he is well acquainted with the
woods. When nothing WAS heard of
him by January 20, his friends began
TO feel anxious but thought little of
it until week ago. when he had gone
nearly two months. Every endeavOr
will be made to locate him, but it Is
feared he il dead.
