room for the benefit of stubborn
forms of diseases. The baths will
have hot and cold sprays, and the
plumbing will be the modern open
kind, with porcelain bath tubs.
The remodeling will require the
piping of the water from the pres.
ent bath house five hundred feet
distant, the building of cess pools,
waste pipe lines, etc, and means
an outlay of about $4,000 at once.
A monster air compression tank
will furnish power for the cold
water system; and a four. b. p. en-
CINE will pump the water from
the springs.
Lewis Gels, who for the past
few years has been in charge of
the hot springs, will remain as
superintendent Expert electro
THERAPEUTIC operators will be en-
ployed as nurses and in the spring
the company intends to employ a
regular physician to have charge

The Saratoga Springs company
has issued 10000 folders advertls-

will be issued next week, making
thus far 10000, folders, which are

Track is Laid Five
Miles South of
Town.
Work Under Way on the Concrete
Abutments for the Steel
Bridge.

The track laying on the S. & E.
which was resumed last week was
continued until a point 2 miles or
more beyond the ranch of l.. G..
Sterrett was reached. The con
structlon gang is now lie Yelling
this piece of work and putting it
IN shape for permanent use.
There is always much work to be
done to a new track even after it
has been laid in the way of
Strengthening, Ieveling and lining
up.
The pile driver crew came into
town Monday evening, having fin
ished up all their work this side
of the mouth of the Encampm ent
river. They will shortly begin the
work of driving piles in the river
above the railroad bridge to form
a protection to the bridge against
ties and timbers that are driven
dow" the river every spring by
tn nn lreds of thousands.
The work of laying the concrete
abutments began yesterday morn
ing and the work is progressing
favorably 1t was found neces-
sary to put in a large pump and to
have the traction engine of the
Saratoga Lumber & Supply Co.,
harnessed to it in order to pump
the water out of the excavations
where the foundations of the abut-
ments we're to be laid. 1t is nee
essary that these concrete abut-
ments and piers shall be erected
without frost if possible.
General Manager l.. G. Young
returned Tuesday evening from a
visit to the Sierra Madre Tie camp
to see what progress is being made
in getting out ties for the railroad.
H. E, Owen, who owns the grad
ing outfit now doing the work on
the S. q E. road, informs the Sun
that all his teams are now busy
and the dirt is flying on all the
unfinished portions of the grade
between Cow creek and Encamp-
ment.
He has IA good force of men on
the rock work in the Encampment
river canon, near Baggott Rocks
and believes the work there will be
finished within the next forty
days. The weather is fine for the
work and everything is now NOV
ing along nicely.

PRICE FIVE CENTS

keeps his wife and babies, and en-
joys the comforts and blessings of
life. 1t is not a makeshift for the
purpose of defrauding Uucle Sam
out Of 160 acres of land.
In the great generosity thus
beneficent government passed a
law granting to those who r
qualified title to 100 acres of land
provided they would live upon the
same for a period of five years; or,
in case claimants found themselves
unable to live years then permiss-
ion is given to make communication
proof after a period of fourteen
months residence, by the payment
of 81 20 per acre where the land is
beyond the railroad limits or $3.50
per acre where the land is within
railroad limits. Where entrymen
elect to commute their entries af-
ter fourteen months, their evid-
ence as to residence is scrutinized
with a greater care than if they
elect to live upon the land for a
period of five years. 1t is true
however, that they may have the
first six months in which to es-
tablish their homes upon their
claims the same as in the FIVE
year cases, this period being what
is called constructive residence.
There was published in the
Woman's National Daily recently
the information that claimants
who moved at once upon their
claims after filing might make
what is known as the tive-Jear
proof in four and one-half years,
taking advantage of the construct
i've residence at the end of the
residence instead of at the begsn-
ming. This is not true, and many
of the readers of hat widely cir
culated paper will doubtless be led
into error because of the publica-
ton. The same paper also stated
that in case of Communication proof
actual inhabitancy of the land for
the entire fourteen months must
be shown. This is also an mac
curate statement, as the six
months constructive residence is
allowed and the entrymen is only
required to make a showing of
actual inhabitancy for a period of
eight months after the Six months
or fourteen months in all after
filling.
The price of the homestead is
the making of a home upon the
land. The purpose is the settle
ment of the country and the build
ing up of the nation. Those who
do not make their homes in good
faith upon the land are not COM

What the Law Re-
QuireS of Each
Settler.
What Constitutes Actual Resi-.
dence-The Intent of
the Law.

What constitutes residence upon
a homestead entry? This ques-
ton has puzzled the brain of
many a man or oma who had a
burning desire to acquire title to
100 acres of Uncle Sans domain
without living thereon for a
period of five years. Some have
the erroneous idea that a person
may file a homestead claim, visit
the same and sleep over night
once in six months and after five
years of such residence(?) make
final proof. 1t can be done with
liberal amount of perjury thrown
in. Visits to claims once in six
months Or even oftener do not
constitute residence. 1t has been
repeatedly held by the secretary
of the interior that the home of
the claimant must be upon the
homestead-that the land must be
actually inhabited.
The belief that the homestead
law may be complied with in the
matter of residence by visiting the
land once in six months has
doubtless grown up through the
decisions of the department that
an absence of six months consti-
tutes abandonment. In the days
when laws we're loosely admins
tered it was probably the prac-
tice of some to go to their claims
and sleep once in six months or
prehaps oftener and then secure
witnesses who were willing to
swear that the claimant actually
inhabited the land. In such cas-
es and when there were no exam
nations made, the land officers
we're powerless, being compelled
in the absence of other testimony
to take the perjured evidence of
the claimant and witnesses and
pass the claim to patent.
The view has also been held
by many that a single man has
rights in the matter of residence
superior to those of a married
man. Where the truth is adhered
to, this is not the case. A single
man must live upon his claim just
as faithfully as the married man;
in fact, the married man may be
absent from his claim practically
all of the time earning a living if
his family is inhabiting the land
during his absences. In this RES
pect the rights of the married
man are superior to these of the
single man.
just what constitutes home.
stead residence has never been
laid down by the interior depart
ment, and probably never will be.
Each case is judged upon it's own
merits. 1t is pretty we'll estab-
lished, however, what does not
constitute residence, and it may
be taken for granted that a person
who maintains a family in one
domicile while he is pretending to
live upon a homestead is treadine
upon rather thin ice. The single
man who has a ten by twelve
cabin on a piece of land and sleeps
in that cabin once in six months
choosing warm nights for the oc
casions, may also be considered
beyond the pale of the law. TIL,
