HOMESTEADERS find COMMUNICATION
- PROOFS REJECTED BY THE OFFICIALS

Homesteaders who are making com
mutation proofs and who have not re-
sided upon their homesteads contin-
uously for a period of six months, as
required by law, are very likely to
have their proofos rejected by the de-
partment of the interior. .t
Register Schuyler of the Fargo lan'l
Office, has recently received a number
Of decisions rendered by the depart
ment, which show conclusively that
the claimants who have not complied
with the law are receiving notice to
the effect that their proofs have been
rejected.
The intent of the law allows parties
six months before they are required
to establish residence upon their
homestead.
In case they remain upon their land
continuously for a period of eight
months their proof will be accepted
but the department has ruled, that
where a claimant goes upon the land,
remains for shorter periods, the proof
will be rejected and the homesteader
must return to the land and reside
upon the same continuously for a
period of fourteen months.
During the past few months num-
Der of communication proofs have been
returned to the local landof1ice, from
the department of the interior, mark
ed rejected. In several instances the
parties had resided upon the land
from eighteen to twenty months, but
the residence had not been contin-
uous and consequently the depart
ment refused to accept the proof
Below are given the decisions in sew
eral cases, which should prove of
interest to homesteaders who are
contemplating making a committed
proof: ~ :
In the case of Fred G. Burghsrdt,
unreported department decision, Feb.
q, 1900, when entryman showed no
actual residence upon the land, claim
ing that his basence was necessary
in order that he might, support his
family, and that he could not have
made better use of tie land if he had
been there every month than he did,
it was said.
taMoreover, parties committing en-
tries cannot be excused from any
cause for failure to live upon, improve

Senator McCumbcr has made a
most enviable record in railroad rate
legislation. 1t is understood he has
received some few letters from North
Dakota criticising his action and tell
ing him to get in line with-the presi-
dent, but it now appears that he has
been in line with the president all
the time. The papers of New York,
Boston, Philadelphia, and Baltimore
have spoken of him in the highest
terms and have recognized him as one
OF the leading men of the senate, in
fact they have gone so far as to in
clude him in their cartoons as the
man who is fighting the trusts and
monopolies. Of course, Senator Hans
brough is with Senator McCumber in
these matters, and now that the rate
bill is finished, there can be no ques-
ton but that the North Dakota dele
cation was strictly on the right side
OF the proposition from start to
aA11toa1s dAu LAdL C1S lulI lDlSCuSSiOu
that has been given this bill by the
senate has been most beneficial, for
the reason that it has brought out
many points, such as the organization
of the commission, the private car
lines, the abuses of rebates, the
abuses of passes, the connection OF
railroads with mining and manufac.
turing, and the hundred other points
that were never touched upon in the
house when this bill was under dis.
cussion there. AS a matter of fact
the HEPBURN bill. when it left the
house, was rather crude and in.
definite. For its purpose it was all
right as it was merely intended as an
entering wedge and it was known that
the senate would go thoroughly into
the proposition before the bill was
passed.

and cultivate the land for the re-
CURED period" .,
In the case of Katie F. Brecht, unre-
ported departmental decision, Feb. 81,
1906, the entry was made in Noyem-
Der, 1908, residence established with
in six months thereafter, and the
claim made that the same was fol.
lowed by eight months Of residence,
emitting her to commute. The de-
partment held: H..
'In such case the law not only re-
quires that it shall clearly and salts
factorily appear from the proof that
the bona fide residence was estab-
lished within six months from date
of the entry but also that the actual
residence upon the land has been
continuous from the time it was
established until the date of the final
proof" -. go. IS
These decisions are not construed
to mean that the claimant must be
present upon the land every day dur
ing the eight months, or fourteen
months residence, as the case may be,
which should follow the establish
ment of the same. If claimants in
good faith go upon the land with, their
household effects, take up their actual
residence thereupon and should there
after, by reason of necessity of going
to market, making a living, OF by
illness be temporarily absent, and
should thereafter submit proof show
ing the requisite period of actual
residence, exclusive of the period of
absence, it would appear that where
good faith is evidenced same might be
accepted. But where claimants go to
the claim within six months after
making entry, stay from three days to
a week, then go away and remain alb
sent for a number of months. making
visits to the. claim varying from few
days to few months, their actions
do not indicate good faith, nor can it
be regarded as the maintenance of
continuous residence upon the land.
1t rather evidences a desire to obtain
title by an evasion of the letter and
spirit of the law. Each case must,
however, be decided upon the facts
therein presented, and it is impossi-
BILE to lay down a general rule which
shall govern all cases arising in the
execution of the laws. . -

MAJOR THOMAS DISCUSSES MATTERS
ON FORT BERTHOLD RESERVATION

Fargo Forum: The condition of

The scene of "The Danites" is laid in the salubrious climate of lower Cali fornia, affording unbounded opportuni- ties of scenic display, characters en- tirely original, and since encroached upor, thoroughly new atmosphere was shown. A woman depicting the character of boy, so completely as to deceive even the rough miners, the thieving Chinaman, big-hearted San dy," who pities poor Billy Piper" but can't understand his wife's affection for him, all form a combination never before shown to the public.
 The originality of the plot, develop ment and finish alone claim the deep est interest irrespective of the scenes and the mechanical effects given by this magnificent revival of ''The Dan- ites," which will be given at the New Haven Theatre Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights this week and at the Saturday matinee.

'How Baxter Butted h." a new mel odramatic comedy, made it's first ap- pearance at the New Haven theater last night. Unfortunately the weather was stormy, and that no doubt inter- fered with the regular Monday night crowd which patronizes this theater.
 'tHow Baxter Butted In" is ft bright musical comey with plenty of life, and lots of novelty in it. and was worthy of @ much larger house. The play is a mixture of comedy and melodrama. The company is a strong one, and is headed by Sidney Toler, whose clever interpretation of Baxter the commer- cial traveller, was excellent. His suc- cess6ul efforts to depict the attempt of a country shyster to rob and disgrace a defenoeIess village girl was well han dled, and his work was repeatedly en- cored. The rest of the members of the company are well suited to the parts allotted to them, while the scenic effects are new and very pleasing. The Jack O Lantern scene in the third act is or iginal and effective. and well worth seeing. The quartet in this act also give a number of vocal selections, which greatly pleased the audience.
