he shall not be required to speak
the English language or sign his
petition to his own handwriting.
The commissioner must have
present at the time Of fling his pc
tition two witnesses, who are citi-
zens of the United States, who
have known him for at least five
years. The clerk files petitions and
fixes date, as near as may be, of
hearing for final papers, which
hearing must be in open court.
Notice of such hearing is posted
by the clerk in his Office for at least
ninety days. On the date set for
final hearing, or later, the petit
toner appears in open court with
two witnesses appearing on his pc
tition. If these witnesses cannot
be produced others may be used.
If the court is satisfied from the
evidence that the petitioner pos
sesses the necessary qualifications
to become citizen of the United
States an order will be entered ad-
mitting him as such and a final
certificate of naturalization will be
issued to him.
All records, books and blank
forms are furnished by the Bureau
of Naturalization at Washington
and all reports together with cop
les of papers issued by the clerk.
are forwarded to this bureau.
Clerks are required to make
monthly and quarterly reports.
The following fees are required to
be collected:
Taking declaration of intion 81.
Filing petition for naturalization
50.
Final certificate for naturaliza-
tion So.
Duplicate of declaration to be-
come citizen and final certificate
of citi' enship may be obtained
upon proof of loss or destruction
of the original. Application for
such duplicate must be made to the
clerk Of court in whose Office the
original record was made. The
application must be made under
oath stating particulars of loss or
destruction of the original. The
application is submitted to the Bu-
reau Of Naturalization and if a
proper showing is made the clerk
will be directed to issue such du-
plicate.
That you may understand that
these requirements must be COM
piled with to the letter I quote
from a letter received from the
chief of the Bureau of Naturali-
zation dated February IL, 1907,
which in part is as follows: ut
is found necessary to return decla-
ration No. 1. The name of the
vessel has not been given. Such
information can generally be OBJ
tanned by writing to the collector
Of customs at the port of arrival,
and clerk of court should not
accept the declaration of an alien
until such effort has been made.
If the information should then be
not forthcoming, it is not thought
that an alien should be refused
naturalization by reason of inability
to furnish this item of informa-
ton, but the clerk of the court
should in all cases satisfy himself
that it cannot be procured before
making out the declarations =
Cavalier County Republican: A
Barnes county man offers to take
all the No. 3 barley raised in
Barnes county this year at SO cents
per bushel, delivered as late as Oc-
tober. There is nothing remarka-
BILE about this as even though he
got every kernel Of No. 3 barley
the chances are that she could cart
it around in a wheelbarrow.
Everybody knows who has ever
grown barley that it may be only
once in a lifetime that he will sue
