LOSE THEIR HoMEsTEAcA
Department Notifies Claimants That
Patents Are Held Up.

fdtSntS Are FelO up
Not all who made homestead entries
Of lands on the Sioux reservation find
1t an easy matter to get patents. A
large number of final proofs have been
made and the applicants for patents
have in many cases been notified by
the interior department that the issu-
ance of patents has been withheld I'M
til the applicants show to the satisfac-
ton of the department that enrry was
made in good faith. The chief trouble
lies in the fact that the parties held
up" entered the lands for grazing pur-
poses, and not only failed to comply
with the requirements of the law as to
continuous residence, but also failed to
show that they had cattle or other
stock grazing upon the land In ques-
ton.
In not few cases the applicants
owned no stock, and they only resided
upon the lands at intervals, but each
believed he was complying with the
law governing his entry, as explained
to them by officers and others. In the
list of those whose patents have been
deaied are several women, young lady
school teachers in q majority of cases.
The disappointed applicants are scat
tered all over the state, and the notice
from the Washington government is a
sore disappointment to them and
means the loss of no small amount OF
money and time. 1t is believed that
in about all of the cases referred to
the defects cited by the interior de.
partment can be remedied, In which
events patents will issue.

BASEBALL NOTES.
Our Nine Won Three Out of Fop,
Games on Their Recent Trip.

The ,Bottineau nine went down +o
Devils Lake last week and plaved q
series Of three games with the local
nine on the Chautauqua grounds. The
nrss game resulted in questionable
victory for the Devils Lake team
score to 2. Our team received
shabby treatment from the umpire in
this game. Without his help our
boys would have won with comparative
ease, though it was more closely con-
tested game than either of the subse
quent ones. Sevareid and Grangaard
were in the points for Bottineau,
The second game was an easy one for
our team-111 to 5. Our boys had
their opponents at their mercy during
the entire game and their batting
averages went up several points. In
this game Belts did the twirling, with
Grangaard behind the bat. The last
of the series was also a Bottineau
victory-13 to 8. This was a little
better game than the second one. al
though it was Bottineau's from the
start. Whiting and Grangaard COM
posed our battery in this game.
From Devils Lake our boys went to
Lakota, where our boys took the local
nine into camp; score Is to 2. Kelly
was put in the box in this game and
Grangaard held his old place behind
the bat Our boys speak in the hi gh-
est terms of the treatment received at
Lakota. A cleaner lot of players or
more liberal lot of citizens could not
be found anywhere than in Lakota.
The hospitality extended them by
landlord Trotter of the hotel Grace is
worthy of special melton and the boys
have warm spot in their hearts for
him.
The attendance at the Lake was de-
slim. Most any cross road |
town would give better turnout.
Our boys drove to Souris Tuesday, |
where they were defeated by the local
nine. Souris loomed up strong while
it seemed to be an off day for some of |
our players. Belts and Grangaard |
composed the Bottineau battery and

the satisfaction of all. The following

United States, who are receiving

a billion dollars more in wages
than during the operation of the

quite content that they should

ers." AS a fact, however, the

are as fully protected as any 9th

A Chapter ON Japan.

AS the people of this country
take great interest in the gal
liant struggle of little Japan
against Russia, the following
statistics will prove interesting
at this time.
The area of the empire of Jap
an is about 161,o 900 square miles
or little larger than California.
The present population is close
to $4,000. sn 1900 there was
10000 foreigners in Japan, OF
whom a quarter were American
and British. and more than halt
Chinese. Farming is the chief
occupation. The average farm
is two acres. Lafcadio Hearn
says: "The vast rice crop is
raised on millions of tiny farms;
the silk crop in millions of small,
poor homes; the tea crop on
countless little patches of soil. .
The exports of silk amount to
about one fifth the entire export
trade. There are rich oil and
coal fields in Northern Japan.
Formosa has valuable gold
mines. A greater wealth is it's
1900 miles of camphor trees.
Il 1902, Japanese exports were
$13O,OOO,OOO; imports $135,
100000. More than 1000 miles
Of railroads. Here are the daily
wages in cents, of certain occu-
pations; female weavers, 10; fe-
male phesants, 9.5; compositor,
