the election of the republican ticket,
his remarks being punctuated with
frequent applause.
Col. w. T. Perkins followed in a
brief speech, in which he said that he
had lived in territories for "a years
and had voted for but one president,
and he expressed the hope that fight
for territorial government and repre-

worth and ability of Senator Fairbanks.

VACATION OF JUDGMENT.
Supreme Court Holds that Trial Court
Did Not Abuse Its Discretion.

Did Not Abuse Its Discretion.
The supreme court has handed i,wn
it's decision in the case Of o. A.
Braseth, appellant, VS.. the County of
Bottineau. This is the first decision
in which Judge Engerud took part as
supreme judge, and the syllabus is
as follows:
l. The trial court did not abuse it's
discretion in vacating a default judg-
ment, where the default was in the
service of answer and for but one day,
and arose from a mistake as to the
date of service Of the summons and
complaint and the defendant moved
promptly for relief.
Under the practice established in
this state it is necessary that motion
to vacate a default judgment shall be
accompanied by an affidavit of merits,
and good practice also requires veri-
fed answer But the latter is not in
dispensable when the defense is stated
in the affidavit of merits.
3. Where an affidavit Of merits,
made by the states attorney on be-
half of his county and as its attorney
in the action, states that the defendant
has a good and sufficient defense, as
shown by it's answer which is attached
to and made part thereof, it is suff1-
cient as an affidavit of merits and will
sustain the order vacating the judy
ment

ALASKANS RATIFY CHOICE
Alaskan Ratification Meeting At Which Col.
w. T. Perkins Gets a Boom For the
G0vernorship.

How an Alaskan republican notifica-
ton meeting was conducted is told in
the following extract from a Nome
paper:
The republicans of Nome ratified
the nominations of Roosevelt and Fair
banks last Wednesday evening at
Golden Gate Hail. The hall was well
filled, dispite the rain that fell stead
lily, and there was considerable en-
thusiasm manifested as the various
speakers ADMINISTERED the democratic
party for it's sins of omission and
commission, from the days of Jefferson
and Jackson down to the time of Grow
err Cleveland, Williams Jennings Bry-
an and Alton Brooks Parker, the pres
ent "scapegoat for the sins of democ-
racy.'
On the platform before the spellbind-
ing began, were seated Judge Johnson,
Col. W. T. Perkins, John w. Corson,
J. K. Wood, R. S. Ryan and W. V.
Rinehart, who called the assemblage
to order and in very good speech ex
planned the two-fold object Of the meet
ing-to ratify the nominations Of
Roosevelt and Fairbanks and to form
the nucleus of the republican club
around which all who wished might
gather He then introduced Judge
Johnson as permanent chairman, who
told in an excellent manner of the
| Chicago convention, of which he was {
member, and of the enthusiasm there
displayed. Incidentally he remarked
that the Alaska Delegates with thei
totem poles and eagles for twenty min
utes led the procession around tn
great auditorium, after Roosevelt hat
| been nominated, and how the delega
ton had attracted great attention ant
received vociferous cheers, which thu
Judge modestly said was no doubt dut
to the eagles and not the delegates.
Judge Johnson said that this wa:
the first time in the history of Alaska
that such a melting as this had beer

ABOUT FINAL PROOFS.

Recent Orders Fixing Dates and Nam.
ing County Seats or U. S. land offices
Will Work Hardships in Some In
stances.
Linton Record: Acting under in
structions from the commissioner of
the general land office. the register
, and receiver of the Bismarck land
Office have notified the county judges,
clerks of court and U. S. commission
ers that no final proofs can be taken at
any other place than the Bismarck
, land Office. A letter from the Bis
marck land Office says: "Under the
new schedule giving offers certain
dates on which to take proofs, neither
of these proofs (referring to two EN-
mons county proofs) can be taken out
side Of this Office before February,
i 1905. The reason for the schedule is
that the special agent is required to
| be present at every proof taken out
side of this Office
1t will thus be seen that the jig is
| up so far as making final proofs at any
| other place than the Bismarck land
Office is concerned. This action of the
commissioner of the general land office
| has been brought about by the con-
| duct of the numerous proof drum
mers" in the district, who, personally
and by correspondence, while holding
an Office that entities them to take
| final proofs, act as agencs for the loan
/ ing of money, and, in order to secure
| the proof fee and the commission on
loans, prevails on non-residents who
have not complied with the law as to
| settlement or improvements or both,
| to come out here and make wholly
| fraudulent proof-something that they
would not often do, were they not
| led astray my the Misrepresentation
| of the office-holding money-loaner.
The new plan is something that the
| land.district officials are not in the
least responsible for. It Is not likely
/ that they wish to add large volume
of proof-taking work to their already
sufficient labors. But they have moth.
,, ing to say about it, and cannot prevent
!, the scheme going into effect.
| However, the new plan will, while
! putting to serious trouble and ex-
,'pense the bona-fide settler who, after
,, five years faithful compliance with
!. the law, wishes to make final proof,
/, have little effect on. the flyiby-night
! proofs. There are three classes of
,, final proofs made: First is the farm
er who actually resides on the land.
| Next is the claimant who hasn't suffi.
cient capital to live on It while putting
his claim in condition to produce an
income. He is compelled to work for
nesghboring farmer or at q nearby

have a congressional enactment set
aside by bureau officer. In the
meantime every settler who wants to
prove up without waiting six or eight
months must go to Bismarck. That
they may know just what the expense
will be we give the following figures:
A great many of the proofs will be
made by settlers who reside far
enough away from Linton to necessi-
tate their coming to town the night
before, as the N. P. train departs at
o'clock in the morning. This train
runs but three times week; so three
days will be required for the trip.
The register and receiver will, I'M
doubtedly set the date of proofs so
that the proof may be taken in time
to allow the claimant and MS two
witnesses to return home by the first
tain. They will therefore be absent
three days from the time they take
IuC u dlA dC A1ulOu VI 14oLSlIOA, d0
above stated. The expenses of the
proof, including publication Of the no.
tice and the land office fees, will be as
follows:
Publication fee >. :. '. .... 5 $50
Land Office fee (160 acres).... 500
Three round-trip fares, Bis
marck and return, $3.50 each. 11.40
Three days bed and board for
three persons, at least 81 per
day each. =. :. 500
Total expenses. -. $3l.9O
To this total must be added 81 land
office fee for those who reside in the
double-minimum area-that is, with
in the NJ P. land-grant which ex-
tends forty miles on either SIDE of
the line of the road. This would
run the total expense up to $35 80, or
$3.50 more than it would cost we're
one allowed to prove up at Linton. In
addition to this expense there should
be added the extra two days time of
three men required for the Bismarck
trip.
1t will thus be seen that oIr Uncle
Sam, through his commissioner of the
general land Office, has put up a pre-.
ty expensive proposition for the home
steader who desires to prove up with.
out waiting half a year or more.
