BUSINESS AT
LAND OFFICE
Large Number Of Final Proof
on Land We're Made
Last Month.

The business that has been
transacted at the Crookston Land
Office for the month of Decem Der
has been totaled up and the
figures show that an immense
amount of business has been
transacted. The fact that there
we're IS homestead entries made
during the month would lead one
to think that there is still land
to be taken UP and that many
realize that fact. It was the gen
eral opinion that all entries had
just about ceased and that the
business consisted of taking final
proofs and such work as is nee
essary in proving up on the land.
The figures compare very
favorably with those Of other
months. The cash receipts are
about the same amounting to
$3178. SO which seem rather
large. The full statement is as
follows: IS homestead entries; "A
final proofs and installment; 1876

ment payments.

Sentiment AGAINST Paying
For Red Lake Right of
Way Is Expressed.
VILLAGE COUNCIL DID NOT
CARRY OUT AGREEMENT.
This Is Principal Reason VIII!
Business Men Feel Inclined
To Gig.

Since the meeting of the sign.
ers of the Minneapolis. Red Lake
& Manitoba right of way contract
and since the subsequent meet
ing of the committe appointed to
reach an agreement with the
railway company, there have
been many expressions regard
ing the payment of the amount
which the company claims from
the signers. and it can be said
with safety that the sentiment
at the present time is against
making the pay ment to the rail
way company.
Many of the signers claim that
at the time they signed the
agreement they knew nothing of
the nature of the document. The
principal reason why the senti-
menti is against the payment of
the money, however, is that at
the time the agreement was sign
co there was an understanding
between the citizens and the
village council to the effect that
the latter body would pay for the
right Of way. The council. how
ever, failed to carry out it's
agreemenG with the business
men, and the latter now feel that
tits hardly fair that they should
be made to stand the entire ex-
pense Of securing the right of
way inasmuch as the city as a
whole receives the benift derived
from the operation of the rail
way.
At the meeting of the com
mittee Tuesday afternoon it was
decided to notify John Lind and
A. Ueland, attorneys for the
railway company, that the matter
was under consideration and
that the result of the com mittee 's
deliberations would be forward
ed to them as soon as possible.

MUST BE
CITIZENS
HOmesteaders 0D Red Lake
Reservation Must Have
Second Papers.
THOUGHT THAT FIRST PAPERS
WERE SUFFICIENT.
Recent Ruling of Interior De.
partment Makes Stevenson
Law PLAIN.

AccOrulng 10 a new rullng OF
the interior department at Wash
ington, announced by Register
Montague of the Crookston land
Office this morning, no home
steeder on the Red Lake Indian
reservation lands opened under
the Stevenson act, can acquire
title to his holding, either by five
years residence or committed
proof, unless he is bona fde
citizen Of the United States and
has taken out his second papers.
Heretofore it has been sup
posed that homesteaders on the
Red Lake lands opened by the
Stevenson bill could com mute
after fourteen months in accord
ance with section 23O1 of the re-
Yised statutes of the United
States which provides that a
homesteader who has taken out
his first papers is entitled to
final proof and a government
warrant at the expiration of four
teen months of residence and
the payment of stated sum Of
money.
The Stevenson bill is so worded
that a conflict of meaning results.
In one place it says that com
mutation proofs may be made in
accordance with section 1901
and in another portion of the
bill, it is stated specifically that
no homesteader can aauire title
to his holdings unless he is a
bona fide resident Of the United
States and has taken out his
second papers.
The department of the interior
after considering the matter
rules that the bill intends the
latter and the result will be. the
application for second papers by
a whole lot Of homesteaders who
heretofore believed themselves
able to minute and prove up
with only their first papers.
The sections of the Steeners son
act which appear to conflict and
were the cause of the ruling Of
the department are:
''That such purchaser shall
have the right of Communication as
provided by section 2,30l of the
revised U. S. Statutes, by pay
ling for the land at the price for
which sold, receiving credits for
pay ments previously made.
! That aliens who have declared
their intention to become citizens
of the United States may be-
come purchasers under this act,
but before making final proof
and acquiring title must take
out their full Naturalization
papers.
