ACTUAL SETTLERS

Who Omit to File Take Precedence. Over
Claimants Who File on Same Land
The CrOokston United States, land
office has received communications
from the secretary of the interior at
Washington, D. c., affirming the de-
cision made by that Office some tame
ago in regard to the right of: prior
settlement as against a. filing on the
claim. It is a very important. ques--
ton and one that involves a, great
many interests not alone in the. case;
in which the decision was made.
The history Of the case goes, baclka
few months to the time when. seven
men appeared in the Crookstonl land
Office and filed on properties I'M see=
ton 16 in the town of Eden, northeast
of Fosston. All the land in that see
tion was taken up by these men,. But.
it appeared afterward that the gentle
men would have some trouble In get.
ting their land. On this same section
l6 in the town of Eden there were, al
ready five settlers living I'M their
cabins in actual settlement and claim
ing every part of the land on which
the seven filed. Now there came up
the question before the land office as
to whether prior settlement had more:
right to the land than prior fling.
The land Office decided that tfies men
who had built their cabins and act
ually lived on the ground in contro-
versy, even though they had not filed,
were entitled to the ownership OF tiIBs
land. This decision was based GU
the spirit of the law governing home
steaders. But the seven flers, a4,A
pealed from the decision of the l;bz,d
office to the United States commits
sioner. He affirmed the decision Of
the land Office. Again the seven Rlers
appealed the case to the secretary Of
the interior at Washington. The
affirmation of their decision has been
received in the general question oftt1l
case. The decision of the secretary
involved the distribution of the. land
among the settlers themselves, about.
which there was some difficulty. The
prior claim of actual settlers was up

The Serenade.

Two cats sat on our roof last night
just after we'd retired, and sang their
duo nocturnes, the cussed imps all
fired. We threw a boot, a walking
cane and a pair of curling tongs, but
they climbed upon the chimney top
and kept on with their songs. We
took our gun and went downstairs to
fill their blasted hides, but could not
find them and returned to bed with
hurried strides. And after we'd
stretched, out our form and for a
moment lain, the Internal nocturnes
OF the cats came forth to US again!

BRING YOUR FAMILY
To the Farmers Institute at the Jes.
mer Opera House, Princeton,
on Wednesday, Dec. 6.
Practical Men, Men Familiar With the
Hany Branches of Agriculture,
Will Deliver Addresses.

AS this will be our last issue prior
to the holding of the farmers insti-
tute at Princeton it is we'll to again
remind the agriculturists of the date.
The convention will be held in the
Jesmer opera house on Wednesday
next, December 6, and will consist of
two sessions, one in the forenoon,
from 10 to II, and an afternoon
session extending from 1:3O to 4.
These institutes are of much import
ance to the farmers. Men who have
practiced what they preach will ad-
dress them-men who have put to
practical test the subjects upon which
they will discourse.
Agriculture is a science which offers
a most extensive field for experiment.
Discoveries are being daily made
which are advantageous to the farmer.
And of these discoveries he should
know. He should be familiar with
the new processes-the new methods
of farming.
TO this end farmers Institutes
have been established, and they have
proved of much benefit to the agri-
cultural classes. They have kept the
farmers posted.
The question box and gift to each
person in attendance of 35O-page
book on diversified farming will be
among the features of the convention.
Last weeks Union gives you detailed
information as to both.
Upon the occasion of many an in
stitute farmers, in the great majority,
have left their wives and daughters at
home. This is not the intent and pur-
pose of these meetings. The farmers
wives and the farmers daughters are
Outlines more necessary than the
farmers themselves to the successful
operation of farm. At least for GER
tain branches of the industry they are
absolutely indispensable. They su-
perintend the dairying end of the farm,
the egg producing end, etc. They
must not be despised in the world of
agriculture. Then, at this institute
on Wednesday, Dec. 6, let the farmers
bring their wives and their daughters.
Specialists on the various branches
of agriculture will tell you what they
know. You will be the loser if you
fail to be present.

Duluth and Superior Appear to Have
Been Greatest Sufferers from
the High Winds.

tinued undated throughout the night,
covering the ground to depth of at
least Is inches on the level. The
storm was accompanied with wind,
but not of sufficient force to effect any
material damage.
Reports from the country north of
here say that without doubt the most
terrific storm since 1872 swept across
Lake Superior from the northeast on
Monday night, beginning at 7 p. m.
and continuing up to noon Tuesday.
The steel freighter Crescent City of
the Pittsburg Steamship company's
feet, is stranded on the north shore
of Lake Superior, total wreck. She
was driven on the rocks within the
limits of the city of Duluth at 2 o'clock
Tuesday morning. All the members of
the crew escaped in safety.
During the fury of the storm four
prisoners at Superior, after attempt
ing a general Jail delivery at the
county Jail, escaped by boring through
a brick wall. They are considered
very bad men.
Superior and Duluth both suffered
severely during the blow. The deluge

up to noon.
The storm appears to have been
general throughout the northwest and
many vessels are reported to have
been lost on Lakes Superior, Huron
and Michigan.
Later.-Nine dead, including the
entire engineering crew of the boat,
is the terrible result Of the wreck of
the steamer Mataafa at the mouth of
the Duluth ship canal Tuesday AFTER
noon.
From the time of the arrival of the
life-saving crew at S o'clock desperate
efforts were made to get line to the
boat, but without avail.
In the presence of thousands of peo-
pie who watched the scene breathlessly
the line was fred over the ship from
the cannon three times. -
Once it caught and those on the for
ward end of the boat where it landed
began to haul it in, but the rocks on
the bottom cut it in two. -.
At midnight the officials of the COM
pany owning the boat advised the
crew to give up until daylight, saying
that the men of the forward part were
safe enough until morning, and on
the stern end not a sight of life had
been detected since shortly after dark.
When the storm died out this morn
ing the life saving crew was able tn
hit the boat and the work of bringing
the crew ashore was begun at once.
In the forward end of the boat all
we're safe, but in the stern none were
saved, all having succumbed to cold
and drOwninp.

Wealth Production OF Farms.

tWealth production of the farms
in the United States in 1905 reached
TIE highest amount ever attained in
this or any other country-S6,4 AIS, OOO,-
OOO.n
In the first annual report of his
third term James Wilson, secretary of
agriculture, presents an array of
figures and statements representing
the products and profits of the farm
ers OF the country which, he admits,
"dreams of wealth production could
hardly equal.''
-Four crops make new high records
as to value-corn, hay, wheat and
rice-although in amount of produc-
ton the corn crop is. the only one that
exceeds previous yields. In every
crop the general level of production
was high and that of prices still
higher.
Besides the enormous yield of wealth
the secretary estimates that the farms
of the country have increased in value
during the last five years to a present
aggregate Of $6,133, 100000.
LIVERY sunset during the past five
years." he says, "has registered an
increase of s3,4oo,ooo in the value OF
the farms of this country"
This increased value, the secretary
suggests, is invested better than in
bank deposits or even gilt-edged
bonds of corporations.

The state board of pardons which
met on Saturday afternoon, refused
to grant the application of Crawford,
the Elk River box car murderer, for
communication of his sentence. Craw-

of the board was unanimous. If ever
a man deserved hanging it is this
cold-blooded, brutal villain.

IMPORTANT NEW PHASE
OF THE FISHERY CASES
Contention That Original Grants Are Not
Necessary-Organic Act Questioned Claim
That Territory Must Buy Rights.

was established in these islands, of
rights in sea fisheries.
Mr.. Whiting, to show the value of
these fisheries, related how fish could
have been seen piled up at Honolulu
because the tenants had to leave the
fish there in a certain place when the
l1onohiki was not there to receive his
toll. He had seen at Kappa $4,000 hsh
brought in and the konohiki unable to
get away with his one-third of the
catch. There was an iii of land in
Palolo, the people of which had right
to go down to KaaIawai. about two
miles away, and catch fish. This was
case of a fishery separate from the
land
Mr. Derby called special attention to
the language of the Hawaiian fishery
statute, which made the sea for one
mile from shore, adjoining a land and
appurtenant thereto, the property OF
the konohiki owning such land. That
must be either a grant or a license,
and the Supreme Court of the United
States held it could not be considered
a license under any color. If the rights
had existed for so or so years there
was no reason why they should not
exist now. Mr.. Derby read from
CooIey's Constitutional Limitations to
show that limitation provisions could
not take away rights from anyone al
ready in possession of property.
Mr.. Brown held that these proceed
ings were the preliminary steps to con-
demnation proceedings. Immediately
after these steps condemnation pro-
ceedings must be taken by the Terri
tory before these fisheries can be made
free.
IF the Organic Act itself is constitu-
tionaI on this natter Judge De Bolt
observed.
Mr. BalIou claimed that the clause of
the Organic Act saying, but no such
vested right shall be valid after three
years from the taking effect of this Act
unless established as hereinafter pro-
vided," was unconstitutional.
Mr.. Magoon contended it was not
necessary to have the fishery right in
a grant of land. Zone popularity of
this country" he went on to say, lis
that land may be passed from one
owner to another without being de-
scribed at all by metes and bounds.
Could you have any higher title than
the statute?"
do you understand that the fisheries
pass as appurtenances of the land %
the Attorney General asked.
Certainly" was the answer.
Mr.. Andrews then read from Haa-
lelea VS.. Montgomery to show the con-
trary of that proposition.
Mr.. Magoon said the decision quoted
was perfectly consistent with subse-
quent decisions. The citation of the
Attorney General had been a stumbling
block. Answering a question, Mr.. Ma
COON said one could sell a fishery sep
arately from the land. 1t had been a
custom always to lease a fishery. The
fishery might be the most important
part of a mans land
