EIGHT MONTHS RE-

New Ruling'of Interest to
Settlers. =

Under the practice OF the interior de-
partment, a homesteader may take six
months to establish constructive resi-
dence on the land covered by his appIi-
cation-,hat is, he may take that length
Of time to 60 upon the land and build
his house and star, cultivation. The
Communication period is fourteen months
from the date of entry.
Secretary Hitchcock has Just put all
homesteaders on notice that If they
intend to commute their entries they
must remain upon the land continw-
ously during eight months instead Of
six, and the last eight months of the
fourteen required for Communication
proof.
The secretary is very positive that in
Communication the last eight months shall
be those of actual residence and he has
recently affirmed the decision of the
U. S. land commissioner in three cases
where residence was declared insult.
cient to commute. In all OF these the
proof was rejected without prejudice
that is, the entryman was privileged to
20 back upon the land, establish resi-
dence and comply with the law within
the ive.year-life of the e sry.

ArbOr Day Proclamation.

State of North Dakota, Executive De-
partment.
Agreeably to long established custom
and because it is especially wise and
necessary that the people of these
prairie states should set apart a day for
the planting of trees and shrubs and the
identifying of homes and public places,
| do designate Friday, April II, as Arbor
Day for the state of North Dakota.
On that day l recommend that all
citizens join in the work of setting out
trees and shrubs. Let our schools and
public institutions be further adorned
with the forest growths that shall bring
comfort and delight to this and future
generations. Let appropriate exercises
be held in the public schools, that our
children may be taught the wisdom of
common labor for the civic good and
join with intelligence and affection in
the work of identifying our state. Let
the love of nature enter into and bright
en- the hearts of the whole people and let
them signify their gratitude for leaf and
shade by bringing forth these groves
that were the first temples of God.
Done at the Capitol, in the city of
Bismarck, under the Great Seal of the
state, this 18th day of March, 1906.

HERBERT VANDERHooF's article
on Western North Dakota, which
appears in the Chicago Inter
Ocean and Minneapolis Journal
this week, is reproduced in the
PRESS this week. 1t is indeed
pleasing to note that this able
newspaper writer has found that
there is merit IN the rich grazing
and farming lands of this part of
the state. He also touches upon
the. great natural wealth of our
almost inexhaustible coal and clay
beds, which are just coming into
prominence and which, in a few
years, will cause great manufac-
turing industries to be established
in our midst.

Rev. o. T. JUST, Pastor.

METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH.
"Just to recollect His love,
Always true;
Always shining from above,
Always new.
Just to recognize its light
All-enfolding;
Just to claim its present might
All-upholding.
Just to show it as thysown,
That no power can take away;
Is not this enough alone
For the gladness Of the dayl"
How often do we find that we have
not been true to each other in our obi.
cations and as a result we cannot expect
the confidence of our friends. But we
can always rest assured that Jesus will
lever prove untrue to us and because
His love for u led Him to the cross He
can never forget us. That love is for
you and me and when we we claim it as
ours it brings joy, peace and blessed
communion into our daily life; thus can
we successfully combat the evil and live
a life of victory.
W. cordially invite all who can attend
to come to the various Sunkay services
where you may learn the way tt live the
poets life. The regular morning ser
vice and Sunday school will be held
but in the evening there will be no ser.

The Dickinson Commercial club
starts out auspiciously with the
best of men at the head of it, and
the unbounded enthusiasm and
hearty support of a hundred good
men behind them. The PRESS
has advocated such a club for
years 1t has seemed a long time
coming but it has come right and
come to stay, and we believe it
will do great things for the city
of which we are all so proud.
The selection of v. H. Sticknev
as president was a wise move.
DR.. Stickney is one of our oldest

When to Prune.

The following is a valuable suggestion
from Prof. c. B. Waldron of the agri-
cultural college: Relative to the prun-
ing of trees, l will say that it matters
very little what time of the year the
pruning is done, unless one wishes to
prune very heavily, that is, cut off "a
number of large limbs. In that case,
the best time for operating is just after
the leaves have commenced to develop
in the spring, as the wounds heal more
rapidly at the time the. tree is making
its fastest growth, and the trees do not
bee ] when cat at that period. This is
particularly tr1e of the box elder tree.
That should be pruned during the
month of May preferably.

Have q Care,

So says a Bismarck weather prophet.
According to this authority, twice in
April heavy falls of snow may be ex-
pected, and he advises Aockmasters to
be on guard and keep their herds and
hocks within control. But the snow will
soon melt, leaving the soil in prime con-
dition for growing grain. May will be
a rather dry month but June will have
plenty of rain with exceedingly warm
weather IN the early part. Better pin
this in your hat and see how true it
comes.
The Dickinson press., 1906-04-07

LET every man, woman and
child in the city be a self ap-
pointed committee to make and
keep the city tidy. Don't wait to
be ordered by the board of health
to clean up back yards and alleys
but do it before warmer weather
makes the refuse a menace to
health. :..>

Look Out.

One or two banks have reported the
circulation in the city of wildcat money
of days long ago. Bills were offered to
two tellers last Saturday of high denom-
ination. The bills were those of the
Bank of Commerce of Georgia and at
first sight we're liable to be mistaken for
Canadian bills. People are warned to
be on the look out and carefully seruti-
nize any Canada money which may be
rendered for it may turn out to be one
of the old state issues of times close to
the war.-Torum.

COAL TESTS
Made by the United
States Shows that the
Ignite Deposits Of This
Section Are Of Great
Value for Gas-Produc-
ePS.

A government report, issued April s,
after speaking of power tests Of Ameri-
can coal as found in the East, says:
"Of scarcely less importance are the
results obtained in the use Of Ignite in
the gas-producer plant. 1t has been
shown that a gas of higher quality can
be obtained from Ignite than from high.
grade bituminous Goals, and that one
ton of Ignite used in a g%as-producer
plant will Weld as much power as one
ton'of the best Pennsylvania or West
Virginia bituminous Goals used under
boilers. 1t appears, in fact, that as Goals
decline in value when measured by
their steam raising power, they increase
in value as fuel for the gas-producer.
These investigations have been of ines
Unable value in showing how the large
beds of Ignite found in many of the
Western states may be proftably util-
lied. 1t has also been demonstrated
that producer gas can be used advan-
tageously in burning clay products and
in many other metallurgical operations.
"Worthy OF mention is the fact that
already ID or more different companies
are reported to be making producers for
power purposes, and others are endeav-
oring to perfect new designs.
1.-THE work Zone at the briquetting
plant showed that some OF the American
Goals and the slack produced in mining
these Goals can be b%riquetted on a COM
mercial basis. The %briquetted coal
sometimes makes a higher grade fuel
than the original coal and will stand
transportation better. 1t is possible to
briquette anthracite culm with pitch
and without. the addition of any bitumi-
nous coal. Coke breeze can also be
%briquetted; but the quality of the bri-
quette is improved by the admixture of
2 to 50 per cent of bituminous coal
stock. Several new binding materials
for coal briquettes we're investigated
and a few OF them proved sufficiently
satisfactory to warrant their more ex.
tended use. A number of lignites have
been briquetted under high pressure,
without the use Of binding materials"

NOTED MINING WRITER SEES
IMPROVEMENT In CAMP

Goldfeld is blooming and booming in
a degree hat exceeds any Of the fiatter-
ing reports that nave been coming out
Of the district. No one can imagine the
improvements that have taken place In
the last few months; that are in fact
going on every day. I reached here this
evening after an absence of ten months.
When l left, Goldheld was quiet as the
grave.
The ore was here TO be sure but there
was no Mohawk then; no Silver Pick
booming; no Combination moving. Red
Top had not got its second wind; Jumbo
was being cleaned up after the leasers
and the Reilly lease was the only thing
which kept things moving.
How different are things now. On
the hilltop where the leasers tore out
the wealth of mobiles from old Jumbo
the myriad lights on the Mohawk
twinkle and throb like the anchor lights
in old San Francisco bay. The boom of
the blasts resound like mufied thunder.
telling the story of more ore being brok-
en- down. and a score of hoists are busy
hauling out the precious metal hat has
to go but a short way to be converted
into twenty-dollar pieces. The choo-
choo of the engines and the grind of the
buckets. on their way to the top. make
music for the leasers and the stock
holders of the Mohawk, and the people
of Goldveld are dancing to the music.
The camp has never held so many
people and everybody seems busy and
happy. Times are good: they are better
than good. This is a most prosperous
community. There is money in the
streets, and before the year is out
there will be more Mohawks, more ore,
more money.
There is a busy stock exchange here.
so busy that the brokers hold night
sessions. | attended the session this
evening and IL was a most insistent re-
hinder of the San Francisco Stock and
Exchange board, on a small scale. But
there were big transactions made there;
there are no pikers in Goldfeld. A five
thousand or ten thousand dollar trans
action doesn't bother this market a lit
tie bit.
The streets of Goldheld present a
curious sight. Tonight there were
fakirs on the principal corners with
crowds of the curious about them that
would have shamed a gathering of the
kind on Grant avenue in San Francisco
in the old days. Then the Salvation
Army came marching up the street with
banners and trumpets and tambourines.
The streets were bright with electric
lights and on every hand was evidence
of the healthy life of the busy and pros
porous mining camp. But the hustle
and hustle of the town are but faint re-
Elections of the busy scenes at the mines
on the surrounding hills, so I am told.
and 1 am promised a verifcation of the
truth of this tomorrow or next day

NEW YORK AND MINING

We of the west are some times prone
to underestimate our metropolis and
its business element. That is why we
do not understand just what the atti-
tude of New York may be toward min
ing.
First of all, we are very apt to look
only on the gigantic provincialism of
the metropolis. But it is really a par
donab1e pride-a pride that all good
Americans can't help feeling in their
largest city and seaport. Therefore, if
we figure out certain little problems, we
may better appreciate the ideas center
ing about mining as found in the minds
of New York business men.
If we imagine that the operations on
the curb or the exchange are charac-
teristic of New York business leaders,
we are mistaken. The big stock opera
tors can be counted, but the business
men who are manufacturers, jobbers,
retailers, and who occupy scores of
other business and professional places,
and who pay attention to the markets
only as a matter of business, escape
our attention.
New York is the focal center of the
country's business operations. 1t is the
home of the big importers. The little
milliner in Red Wing goes to Mime
apolis for her fall stock. The Mime
apolis milliner goes to New York and
gets imported as well as domestic
shapes and feathers. This is true of the
~tailors. merchants, etc. 1t is true, in a
different sense, with the bankers. The
money that ST Plunkett deposits in the
Maize Corners bank gets to the City Ma
tional by a roundabout method in a
very short time. AMI no one appreciates
H., importance more than the New Jerk
ell.
Let us charge provincialism as best
we may. In a way, we are right. but
does not understand outside possibilities
we are painfully and criminally wrong;
that is. we are wrong against our own
best conviction in a BLIND way that is
harmful TO our W interests.
The New Yorker is alive to POSSIBLE
ties, but he must be shown. When he
invests, it is some times as an individ-
ual, at other times as a member of a
close corporation, or in the public cor
poration on a very large scale. Just as
many of the best financial engineers get
to the metropolis; so do they in the
newspaper nelu, among the alnleles, lue
artists, and the head of every craft.
Hence, If we do not quite understand
the methods of the New Yorker, we for
get that he is maybe at the head of his
class. On the other hand, the New
Yorker has not the facilities. As time
passes, he must become dependent on
the other parts of the country more
thar he is today. Just as the New York
business men are branching out toward
the west more each year, so must they
continue to branch out, until they are
New Workers only in residence, but
Americans in the development of oppor-
tunities.
The sooner they grasp this, and the.
sooner we understand it, the earlier
shall we all get on a more cooperative
basis. We need the metropolis, but 20
more than the metropolis needs us, and
mining offers one of the largest fields
for financial exercise the metropolitan
business man can find.-Daily Mining

cent. In every instance we have predicted the rise
and have kept our correspondents posted by mail and

MlKADO'S SELF DENIAL.
Refused Heat in Palace While His
Soldiers Were Freezing in
the Field.

In the bitter cold of last winter
1904 l905-the mikado not content with
the fullest official reports, sent mis-
grand master to look into the condi-
lions at the front, to ascertain by WIS.,
itng every camp aud outpost, how the
soldiers were faring. When Count Hi
jikata returned with his narrowing
tale OF frghtful suffering caused by
the cold, the emperor was broken
hearted, says Worlds Work. Nothing
more could be done-the ManChurian
winter must drag its icy season
throughput the emperor would not
take his ease while his men were freez-
ing, and the order to discontinue all
heating of the palace till the war
should be over showed that his sym
vathy was with them day by day.
