MUST LIVE ON LAND!

Interior Department Declares Again
the Nature of What Constitutes
Residence on a Homestead.
Washington, Aug. l5.-"The es-
Enlistment of residence under the
homestead law" said Acting Secre-
tary Ryan, for the Interior Depart
ment in a North Dakota case, the
decision in which is just made pub
lie, cannot be proved by showing
merely that an entryman has been
on the land any given number Of
days and nights, and in going upon
the tract Of land, the act Of the en-
tryman must concur with the intent
to make it his permanent home to
the exclusion of any home else
where"
The construction thus placed on
the homestead law as to residence,
grew out of the contest of A. l.. AL
len of the homestead entry Of F. A.
Maley for a tract of land in the
Devils Lake district, North Dakota.
The defendant, Malay, as shown
by the evidence had built a small
rough board shanty upon the land,
had slept there at the time, some
three or four nights, had again
slept there n night a month or
two afterward, was there a couple
of days or more on the land at the
expiration of six months thereafter.
He had never any articles Of furni-
ture in the shanty save a bench and
table, and had never cooked a meal
on the premises. On the other hand
he had caused about six or seven
acres of land to be broken for him
by another party, who cultivated
the flax thereon, taking it in pay
ment for his labor.
What is residence" in the con-
temptation Of the homestead law,
was thus expounded by the acting
secretary:-''No residence can be
established in good faith without
the existence is shown Of an intent
to make it a home. Under certain
circumstances, the poverty or sick
ness of an entryman or his inabil-
ity to secure employment in the
vicinity of the tract entered by him
may excuse temporary absence
therefrom-provided residence has
once been established thereon, but
even such causes cannot be ac-
copied as excuses for failure to es-
tablish. a residence within the stat
utory period when such default is
charged and proved by an entering
contestant"
The tract of land involved in the
case was the southwest quarter of
section 80, township 152 north,
range 76 west, Devils Lake land dis.
trict. In the evidence filed in The
case, it was shown to be worth from
twelve to fifteen hundred dollars.
Besides breaking and cultivating
the land, the defendant proved that
he had sunk a we'll on it Bismarck
Tribune.

OUT FOR THE U F

Otto Grethen, of the Flickertai
Flicker, tells us last week, that he
does not publish anything but facts
and the truth. Let us see. It takes
f. Otto two or three columns to try te
make out that Fred Harris, who
formerly a the Washburn Miner
and is now running the Underwood
Leader. is a Republican and always
has been one. This is the kind OF
truth and fact Otto is dealing out
to his readers. Now it only took
Fred Harris a few inches of space
when he took charge Of the Wash
burn Miner in 1903 to state that he
vas out for the stuff and hadn't
any political beliefs whatever that
were not saleable. The following
notice appeared in Harris Miner
OF April 3, 1903, the time he took
charge of the paper
NOTCH.
Having purchased the Mclean
County Miner, I feel that it is nee
essary for me at this time to make
a little bow to the public. It is GUS
tomary in the newspaper business,
you know, although often unneces-
sary.
In regard to my personal, polit-
ical, religious or other belief, as
some one says, 1t is none of yer
dinged business [ will add, how
ever, that the Mclean Go. Miner
will be run in the interests of Wash
burn and Mclean county, and for
no particular party. faction or man
unless it is for Harris. You are in
your particular business for what
money you can make. am in the
newspaper business for what
money ! car make.
No one can buy the Miners in
tuence for love, money OF marbles
if we feel that it will be detrimental
to the interests Of Washburn, it's
citizens or Mclean county. Don't
expect me to give you compliment
airy notices if you send away for
your job printing, or for your dry
goods, etc. But do the right thing
by everyone and you will find the
Miner will say nice things about
you, and when you conclude to
marry or even die, it will give you
a long write-up and wish you all
kinds Of happiness. If there is
anything [ have left unsaid, come
in and let us talk it over.
Sincerely yours,
Fred L. Harris.
Now, that is Otto Grethen's kind
Of a Republican-just the kind of
a Republican that Otto is a Demo-
orat-a man who boldly states that
he has no political beliefs that are
anybody's business, but that he is
in the Newspaper business for
what money there is in it. That
is the way Otto is-willing and able
to run a good Republican paper if
he got the county printing. So it
is with Fred Harris-willing to sell
opinions for peanuts, but without
political backbone enough to state
whether he was a Republican, Dem
ocrat or what. If this is the best
Otto can do in the way of telling
truth and facts, he ought to go way
back and sit down. He attempts
to prove Harris a Republican, and
forgets that Harris had already an
nounced himself a Republican or
anything else, for what MONEY
THERE WAS IN 1T! Otto and
Fred ought to get better acquainted
before they begin certifying to each
others good character.

ANGRY CAPTAIN
BEATS STEWARD
Japan Defeated by Sweden
Because Morning Coffee

Assistant United States Attorney
Charles NJ Fickert filed a complaint
yesterday in the United States District
Court against Captain Olaf Anderson
Of the schooner Vine, charging him
with having beaten John Saunders, the

fee in time.
