No Residence by Proxy.

The general land Office is deter
mined to become more strict in
requiring literal compliance with
the provisions Of the homestead
law.
Acting Commissioner s. V.
Proudtit of the general land office,
has handed down a decision in a
case sent up from the Rapid City
office, refusing to accept the proof
to a claim fled upon by a Sioux
City photographer.
The decision, in brief, is that q
mans wife cannot establish resi-.
dence on q chin. 1t was brought
out in the testimony that his wife
had made the claim her continuous
residence since Aug. Z, 1907, but
that the husband had been absent
two or three months at time and
on one occasion six months. CON-
missioner Proudft says:
Residence nnder' homestead
laws must be established by the
personal act of the entryman.
Residence on homestead must
be in person and cannot be by
proxy, even by a member of, en-
tryman's family. Residence under
the homestead law cannot be es-
by the acts of another. :"

death occurred.
All inquiries will be promptly
answered.
Chas. Stickney,
States Attorney.
All Boosters ID. n. Dak.

Frank Eddy has the following
breezy comment on North Dakota,
in one of his interesting letters to
the Minneapolis Tribune:
North Dakota might we'll be
termed Boosterville,' because just
as soon as one crosses the Red
river he' is bitten by the exaggera-
tion bug and his ideas and imagi-
nation begins to expand like a
North Dakota horizon, which is
imitless. It has really never been
discovered whether or not the
North Dakota men aud women can
make accurate statements about
anything connected with their
state for they never try. Their
towns are all "metropolisis," po-
tato patch is a ranch" a boot
black stand is business enter
prise" every newspaper is '.great
influential journal" a mule, an
Indian pony and a COW with a calf
is q "big drove of stock" the
shaggiest kind Of a baseball game
s. . splendid exhibition of the
national pastime," politicians are
all statesman . and preachers are
one and all eminent divines."
Ponce de Leon certainly travel
,ed in the wrong direction when
he was searching for the tabled
fountain Of yDuth, for it is sure
!3ecatsd in Moth Dakota. There
ne grey haired, grey bearded men
ere but no old men; the women
~ all, young and growing younger
M the time, the atmosphere is
petually sur0harged with hope,
81 ii "a expectation, the peo.
ipltA spend every minute Of their
tins living and no one ever dies
till be stops breathing.
= North Dakota is certainly a
great state. It's people are broad
minded. progressive and liberal
and. they do big things in big
way. Here we have the New Eng
land conscience without the New
England narrowness, the south
land hospitality without the south
ern caste. the breeziness of the far
west without it's toughness."

Big Money From Creameries.

Well, pay day has rolled around
again at the Farmers Creamery at
Tyler and the month of July
proved to be the largest and best
on record in the history of the
factory, in the way of cream re-
ceived and money distributed
among its patrons for the same.
The butter is shipped out of
Tyler every Tuesday, in the re-
frigerator car and goes direct to
the city of New York, the outp u
ofthe creamery being contracted
for by the firm Of John Doescher
& Co., at premium of 2 cents a
Id. above top quotations, which
speaks very we'll as for the man at
the pail, in general.
More than 100000 was received
for butter during the month of
July, and several of the farmers
checks exceeded 800 90 for their
share. 27.5 being the price paid
per Id. of butter fat.
Now Of course, money is not all
in this world, but a sum like this
scattered out in a community,
once every thirty days, especially
at a time of the year when money
is not over plentiful, helps a great
deal, to make life worth liv; ng.
How we'll we remember the
times before the creameries came
into existance, about Is years sgol
how hard a time the farmers had
then to get a hold of a little money.
butter and eggs were received by
the stores, only in exchange for
goods. It made q fellow feel pretty
blue after parting with his last
dollar, and no way of making few
cents at that time with which to
purchase few postage stamps.
Now, therefore, let us doff our
hats to the old bossy. Storm and
rain may damage our crops, but
the farmer who keeps a few good
dairy COWS always has more than
zone string to his bow"
There is very little danger of
the creamery business being over
done, for some time at least.
When the writer of these notes,
first visited Chicago in 1883 it was
a city of only half a million in
babitnts and today it has a popu-
lation of 3 millions. Other of our
large cities have grown the same
way in proportion. In such places
good butter will always be in de-
mand.
The COW and the creamery are
great factors in the upouilding Of
the country, especially in the way
of drawing money out in circula-
ton. But the COW is also a great
help in maintaining soil fertility
on the farm, but "that is another
story" as Mark Twain says
Tyler Herald.
