Hasten the day when our intellectual
life has SO far developed that a clean
paper will be in greater demand than y
sensational one, when the public shall
eat of the meat Of knowledge, rather
than feed on the aromatic husks that
excite the passions and tester national
life.

The publisher of several agricultural
papers advertises the rural field as the
"only one unspoiled left for the adver-
tiser." The country press might take
notice of the fact and impress upon ad-
vertisers that the local home paper is
the best medium for this field.

WE FEEL GOOD!

The Canadian Fisheries Commission
has. been making a thorough inquiry in
to the conditions under which the salmon
of the Pacific Coast is packed, and has
reported to its government, that, with
out exception, those conditions are salts
factory; that the fish are packed fresh;
that the manner of packing and handling
is absolutely cleanly; that it found no
cause for complaint. We can only hope
that worldwide publicity will be given
to this honest and wholesome report,
that the people may know whereof they
eat when they use the packages sent
out from the Columbia river canneries
and all others on the coast. For the
sake of that publicity, every paper on
the Pacific slope should take a hand in
its dissemination. 1t means more than
the mere bolstering of particular in
dustry; it means an assurance OF COM
fort and value to hundreds of thousands
of people with whom the canned fish is
an article of regular consumption; it
means the restoration of general conf
dence in one of the great and growing
sources of the food-supply of the civil
lized world; and it stands out in the
limelight of proven purity against the
foul shadows cast by the recent Chicago
exposures, and its conspicuous promi-
nence and exclusion from that incon.
ceiyable horror should be made manifest
to all men.

The world is full of want, but of

It is nice question whether there are

really good for them than people who

DEMPSEY CASE IS
BEFORE COURT
TODAY
Preliminary Hearing in Grand
Larceny Case Being Held
The Story.

The case of the state against Joe
Dempsey charged with grand larceny,
the particular crime being the taking
of $3.50 and a gold ring valued at $35
from Mrs. Edith st. German, was given
q preliminary hearing in municipal
court this morning. The story told by
the complaining witness and gin a
measure corroborated by the other
witnesses is somewhat sensational
Mrs. st. German 1T seems had trans
ferred both hef affections and her
money to Dempsey and about a week
ago went to Crookston with him.
She placed $3.50 In silver in
the care Of Dempsey who seems
to have been banker Of the COM
bination which was formed at the time
the husband of the woman was dis
annexed from the family relation.
Later she took possession Of this money
and placed It with her ring In the
pocket of her coat which seems to
have occupied the same room as the
rest Of the party. In the morning
Dempsey went to bring the lady's suit
case which had been left at restaur-
ant, but he was not like the cat for he
never came back. He had generously
left the check for her trunk as well as
that of lady travelling companion on
the dresser, but the bill had in some

BABY MYSTERY
SOLVED
5. Farsner, the Father, Died Six
Months Prior to Child's Birth
Mother an Inmate Of Mercy Hospital
ut Devils Lake But Not a Resident.

A message received by The Evening
Times today from Chief of Police
Hurst of Devils Lake practically solves
the mystery in connection with the
abandonment of the infant girl early
this week. The child, it will be re-
membered, was left on the porch of
an Alpha avenue resident who later,
nearing smothered cries, emerged from
his front door to find blanket-wrap-
ped baby occupying the steps.
Mrs. S. Farsner of Lakota recently
removed to this state from Minnesota,
according to the information at hand,
is the mother of the child. The father
OF the baby died six months prior to
its birth. which occurred in the Mercy
hospital at Devils Lake. where the
mother was admitted on April 10, after
having first applied to the Ramsey
county authorities. The woman stated
at that time that she had a sister re-
siding at Bisbee. but that the latter
was not in position to care for her.
She left the hospital at Devils Lake
two or three days prior to coming to
Grand Forks. She had previously re-
marked to Devils Lake acquaintance
that she intended giving the child to
some one. She is woman of about
30 years and medium sized. This
description answers that of the woman
which the police noticed about the
Great Northern depot the evening of
the abandonment
Her present whereabouts is un-
known, but it is probable that she has

and cultivate the land for the re-
quired period"
In the case of Katie F. Brecht, I'M
reported departmental decision Febru-
airy 2, 1906, the entry was made in
November, 1903, residence established
within six months thereafter, and the
claim made that same was followed
by eight months Of residence, emitting
her to commute. The department
held:
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 establish
ed within six months from date of the
entry but also that the actual resi-
dence upon the land has been continu-
GUS from the time it was established
until the date of the final proof"
These decisions are not construed to
mean that the claimants must be pre-
sent upon the land every day during
the eight months, or fourteen months
residence. as the case may be, which
should follow the establishment of the
same. If claimants in good faith 20
upon the land with their household
eHects, take up their actual residence
thereupon and should thereafter, by
reason of necessity of going to mar
ket, making living, or by illness be
temporarily absent, and should there
after submit proof showing the re-
quisite period of actual residence, ex-
elusive of the period Of absence, it
would appear that where good faith
Is evidenced same might be accepted.
But when claimants go to the claim
within six months after making en-
try, stay from three days to a week,
then go away and remain absent for
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 con-
tinuous residence upon the land. 1t
rather evidences desire to obtain
title by an evasion of the letters and
spirit of the law. Each case must,
however, be decided upon the facts
therein presented and it is impossible
to lay down general rule which shall
govern all cases arising In the execu-
ton of the laws.

number forty-five were successful in
meeting the requirements, and are now
practicing in the state. Formerly
there were numerous travelling opu-
