EVERY eligible person who lived in
North Dakota when the state was admit,
ted to the Union, is now a citizen of the
United States no matter whether he has
taken out his final naturalization papers
o. not. In a decision in a land contest
case from Rolette county recently, the
commissioner of the general land office
has made this ruling.
The decision was based on a decision
Sof the supreme court in a Nebraska case
entitled Boyd VS. Thayer. The case was
one where the election of Boyd to the
goyernorship of Nsbraska was contested
on the ground that he was not a citizen
Of the United State for the reason that
he had never taken out his final citizen
ship papers. The court found in favor
OF Boyd on the ground that his residence
in the state prior to its admission to the
Union made the citizenship papers un.
necessary.

The near approach of Decoration Day
gives an appropriateness to facts per
tanning to the veterans of the Civil War.
The records of the war department at
Washington show that the Grand Army
of the Republic was organized in 1866.
The maximum membership was reached
in 1890, when 409,489 Enames were en-.
rolled. For the last four years the mum
bers of the organization have steadily
dwindled. In 1893 the annual death
rate among every 10000 veterans was SO
Now it is 1858. In 1894 the membership
had fallen to 369,OS3,..an average of TO-.
600 deaths annually. In 1904 the mem.
bership was A6,261. The army fades
away and it cannot be recruited. None
but soldiers, sailors and marines who
fought in the civil war are eligible.

AN entirely new plan of,Nmaintaining
the insane hospital at jamestown will
become effectives.at the close of the pre-
sent year. A law enacted by the last
legislature, which ]3ssbecomes effective
July l, provides that whenever any resi-
dent of the state shall, after Jan. !. 1906,
be committed to the hospital for the in
sane at jamestown or the feeble minded
institute at Grafton, it shall be the duty
of the superintendent of these institu-
tions to render a bill to the county from
which the patient is committed in the
sum of $50 the proceeds to be placed to
the credit of the maintenance fund.
The superintendent of each institution
is further directed to make such a de-
mand for $50 each six months as long as
the patient is cared for in either of tho
institutions. County..commissioners are
authorised to collect from the estate
or relatives of such persons committed a
sum sufficient to reimburse the county
for the amount thus paid the state.
Under the present law the mainten-
Of the asylum falls directly on the
state. The change to the county plan
will result in a much larger tax levy in
the larger counties of the state, and the
state levy should be correspondingly
lower. The new law is similar to that
in force in the state Of Wisconsin.

THE NEW ESTRAY LAW

The estray law is changed in many
particulars and the penalties are very
drastic. All farmers, especially, should
make themselves familiar with the de-
tails. We append a brief statement OF
some of the chief provisions:
Only a freeholder can take up estrays
and that in the vicinity of his residence,
and not between Nov.lst and the 31st of
March, unless animal is trespassing on
premises or within enclosure.
Within ten days notice must be given
in newspaper three weeks. Notice must
give description and brands. Two or
more estrays to be included in the same
advertisement and notice. Also notice
must be filed with county auditor with

missioner of Agriculture, Bismarck, by
registered mail. Registered receipt fol
this COPY Of notice to be filed with coun.
ty auditor.
Persons neglecting to advertise and
send the other notices are guilty of mis-
demeanor and liable for damages to
owner of estray.
Claimant of estray may go before
Justice and prove property by oath,
Person taking up estray is then authoriz,
cd to deliver estray after payment OF
costs and keeping.
If parties cannot agree, each selects
an arbitrator and these a third, and
their decision is final.
Person taking up estrays notifies the
county commissioners and they appoint
an appraiser.
If value of animal is less than $500,
then if animal has been duly advertised
and notices sent the animal becomes the
property of the taker up, after n year
If value is more than s25 then one year
after advertisement is published, the
taker up notifies a justice and the justice
appoints place and day of sale, and gives
three weeks notice in newspaper and
makes the sale. From proceeds of sale
all costs are taken out and balance paid
into the county treasurer. The owner
of estray can recover the balance within
six months and after that the money
goes to the school fund.
Fees for justice. Advertising and ap-
praisers are paid by taker up and are a
first lien on animal until owner REIN
burses, and must be repaid before animal
is taken away.
Wilful neglect ETC.. of estrays by taker
up, or to advertise makes taker up liable
to owner for damages.
If animal die, wander away or suffer
damage through no fault of taker up
latter being advertised etc. then there is
no responsibility to taker up.
Lost goods or property found on high
way or other PLACES must be advertised
and notices given in same manner.

praisement, 50 cents; docketing and fiji

fine of $500 or both.
