US, OF if charged, not a material
allegation in itself, the very abb
sence of fraud or speculation on
part of this poor woman precludes
rs from consideration of this par
ticular feature.
It will be seen that this contest
ant has wisely refrained from
charging the entryman with deser-
ton of his family, and while such
is VIGOROUSLY known all over the
country, he knew that the deserted
wife with her helpless children was
at the time of the execution and fill
ing of his affidavit Of contest living
upon this land, that she had been
living then thereon for more than
two years, that she was an object
Of charity and a ward of the coun-
ty, that she is living on the land to
date and was living there during
the process of litigation, he I'M
doubtedly also was aware of or
should have known that no one but
the wife should be heard on the
allegation of desertion, in proof of
his change of residence or aban-
donment of his entry during the
period of seven years from date
thereof, provided she maintained
residence on the land, therefore we
must and dc find that this contest
is not in good faith and in pur-
suance of this petition deny this
contestant the right of contest and
dismiss his contest subject to his
right of appeal, and in conclusion
wish to say, that this finding is not
contrary to the doctrine enunciated
in the Decisron of the Supreme
Court Supra, because, the entry
mar himself had placed his family
upon his homestead, he had main
tanned the same thereon for about
a year subsequent thereto, and in
contemplation of law, as already
stated a married mans residence
is where his family resides. There
fore, so long as this woman lives
upon this land during the life time
of the husbands entry, it will not
be held that he has abandoned his
claim, unless this woman herself
becomes guilty of such abandon
ment.
The contest as stated is dismiss
sed as not meritorious, subject to
the right of appeal to the Honor
able, the Commissioner of the. Gen
eral Land Office, within thirty days
from date of notice hereof.
Done at the City of Bismarck,
in the county of Burleigh and State

Goodrich, N. D., June II.

In my letter Of last week regard
ing Fast contest, I omitted to state
the worst feature Of the whole mat
ter. This was the fact that at the
time the contest was started and,
indeed, ever since Mr.. Fast's dis
appearance, Mrs. Fast, with her
five little children, was living on
the homestead which her husband
had abandoned. She hoped either
that he would return or, in case he
did not return, that she would at
least saw the homestead for her.
self and her little ones.
Being left thus suddenly by the
husband who should have provid-
ed for her she was unable to sup
port her large family and conse-
quently, had to appeal for assist
ance. This was extended to her
first by private individuals and,
afterwards, very properly by the
county, and at the time the contest
was brought against the Fast claim
Mrs. Fast and her children were
being supported, at least partially,
by the county of Mclean.
All these facts we're we'll known
to Messrs. Beck and Newman.
While the generous people of Nc
Lean county we're endeavoring to
aid the unfortunate, but brave
mother and her little ones, whom
a cowardly husband had deserted,
John Beck and his partner New
man were laying plans by means OF
a contest to deprive Mrs. Fast OF
the very homestead on which she
was living. While our much
abused County Fathers were vot-
ing money for the support Of Mrs.
Fast so that she might retain her
homestead.
"Reformer" Beck was receiving
money for bring a contest that was
intended to deprive her of her
land.
Is this the kind of a man that
the farmers of Nc Lean county
want for sheriff?
A man who, for a paltry sum of
money, would deliberately and
knowingly 60 into a cold hooded
scheme to rob a deserted wife and
five little children of their only re-
naming mean of supper t?
[ am one of the many who in the
first place, contributed the mite
out of their own pockets to aid
Mrs. Fast and I want to say to the
voters of this county: Beware
whom you elect sheriff. It is a
most important Office. It becomes
the duty of the sheriff frequently
to execute mandate of a court that
are necessarily harsh and severe.
But it makes a vast difference
whether those mandates I exc
cuted by a kind hearted OF an I'M
feeling, heartless man.
Which kind do you want for
sheriff?
Do you want a man like John
Beck, a man who would rob a poor,
defenseless widow and her more
defenseless children of their land?
Let your ballots next Tuesday
give your answer. e. a

cupants of the court house proper,

sacred precincts of that stately

He will make three maps, one of the entire region designated principally to illustrate the mountain climbing expedition, a smaller one to show the gold district proper, and third one of the creeks which recorded an actual production this season. On this map he will give the claims and names of the miners who took out something worth while.

CLOSED DOOR IN ALAsKA

Frying open commercial doors that have been closed tight iSa rayoriJe in- uu~.ry of late years and Alaska is looking eagerly for somebody Co help ber get am open door. At present the door is open only on the Seattle side and just wide enough for Seattle 10 shove her own products through.
 Thi, unfortunate situation for Alaska i, due Co the inertia of other cities. Tacoma could compete for Alaska
 trade ou equal terms with Seattle fit would put ou one or two steamers. Portland could compete at only a slight disadvantage in distance and time. Bo,h citte, are trying to get Alaska trade by shipping their pro- duet, by rail into Seattle to be trans shipped by water When the goods reach Seattle they are usually seque,,ercd in some remote corner of the dock warehouses where a search warrant can scarcely find them.
 San Francisco could gc, the trade of Central Alaska by putting up money to rush the completion of the Alaska Central to the Matanuska coal fields and beyond. When the rails are laid Co the coal mines the California city can easily compete with Seattle At the present time it iS at a diSadvan- tage. not simply because it is farther removed by at least a day, sailing but because it's steamers weuld have no re- turn freight. When Natanuska coal is brought to Seward harhor by rail the handicap will be removed.
 This k the opportunity Of San Fran cisco. California has little coal of her own. She is hauling most of what she consumes from Vancouver island in barge,. When Maanu,ka coal k laid on Seward dock, San Francisco steam CTS can get cargoes both ways. They can bring merchandise Co Seward at far lower figures than Seattle now offers. and haul coal to the Golden Gate at a wide margin between the Alaska cost and the California market price coal of much higher grade than California buys now in Washington or British Columbia.

For reasons satisfactory to Seattle but Go nobody in Alaska all Alaska steamer movements are reported in that city over the cable free of charge but in Alaska they are announced only from port Co port. Every arrival OF departure of steamer at any Alaska port is reported forthwith to Seattle. Interested persons in that city can learn therefore at any time the gener- al ifnot the exact location of a steam CT. Alaska people have 10 pay com merciul rates to get the same informa- ton. except that when steamer leaves one port the fact is given to the next port over the cable.
 Itmay be clear to the cable manage ment why Seattle is entitled to this preference but Alaskans are too dull to see any justice in it..
