a TWILIGHT DREAM

We leaned upon the pasture rails;
The first sweet stars were in the sky,
We heard the clink of milking pals;
We watched the circling bats go by
With outstretched wings like dusky sails.
The orchard trees were dim and still,
Breathing sweet fragrance in their sleep
And meadow land and field and hill
The same soft slumber seem to keep
Even the ripple of\the rill
Was like mourner in a dream.
And We, too dreamed Her pen
sive face,
Pale as star, I saw it CLEAN
A still light, in a lonely place
A bending flower above a. stream!
Her little hand, within my reach,
Lay quite untouched. You wonder why?
I answer you, with frankest speech,
That she was married-and so was I
And we were married, each to each!

LOCAL LAND OFFICE SUSTAINED
Two Contest Gases from Cass County
Reach Interior Department.. -"

! CASs LAKE, MINN.-The secretary of the
interior has reversed the decisions OF the COM
missioner Of the general land office in the con-
test cases Of Helga Hanson VS.. Alfred Boutin
and George Hanson Delphus Gamache. TIC
decision of the local land office was against
the Hansons. and this decision was reversed
by the commissioner The present decision IS
a vindcation for the register and receiver OF
the Cass Lake land office.
The Hansons made settlement on the, lands
prior to the time of opening and Rout1n and
Gamache made filing on the same land at the
land office. The stand taken by the interior
department is: without considering the effect
the settlement commenced az trespass and in
violation of the order would have, upon the
continuing and subsequent acts of settlement
performed after the hour Of opening. 1t cannot
be questioned that neither party secured any
right whatever by reason of their settlement
or of acts performed on the land prior to the
hour of am, June Is. 1904 and as botl
were on the land at that time improving it.
their acts of settlement were simultaneous
and upon that ground neither can establish
priority rights The right must necessarily be
controlled by the actual entry e."
In the Gamache case. the secretary holds
that both Gamache and Hanson were trespasserf
and gives Gamache the land because he FLED
upon 1t before Hanson had filed. In the case
Of Alfred Boutin the decision is practically
along the same lines as in Hanson VS.. Gamache
Both are considered trespassers and Boutin. be
ing the first to file, is considered entitled tc
the land in question. The decisions will have
bearing on several contests which have beer
instituted since these cases were started.

an extent that it was impossible for the
large river boats to navigate the st. Croix,, eE-
cept in very high water, but ME-. stephens
thinks he has solved the problem Of navigation
by constructing a boat that will not draw more
than fourteen inches of water.
Tourists, frequently come here from the cities tie

daily trips thereafter.
