Lest robber State, with reader steel,
Pounce on the precious store by

We only claim to hold our own
For this we arm, for this keep strong,
Safeguarding Justice on her throne.

GOVERNMENT REFUNDS DUTY.
Farmers Objected to Paying Duty Of
25 Cents for Seed.

The United States board of ap-
praisers sustained P. ]. Dalton's pro-
test against being compelled to pay
a duty of 25 cents bushel on feed
imported from Canada. in February,
1908, and the duty amounting to $25
has been refunded.
At the time E. l.. Penn, who was
deputy collector at Sherwood, exercis-
ing his judgment that several hundred
bushels of feed screenings, imported
by Mr.. Dalton and number of other
farmers west of Sherwood, could not
properly be classed as wheat and
hence be dutiable at the rate Of Is
cents per bushel, admitted it as un-
classified feed at the rate of 10 per
cent ad valorem. The collector Of
customs for this district decided that
the feed should be classed as wheat
and ordered that duty be collected
accordingly, thus entailing On the
entrymen a heavy expense for their
feed.
Mr.. Dalton protested against the
collectors decision with the above
mentioned result. Mr.. Penn is great
ly pleased at the action of the board,
as it fully sustains his action in the
matter.

ISSUE LAND PATENTS At ONCE
No Delay for Homeste aders Whose
Holdings Are Not Coal Lands.

No Delay for Homesteaders Whose
Holdings Are Not Coal Lands.
There will be no delay in issuing
patents to North Dakota homestead
ers under the new coal land bill.
Secretary Ballinger of the interior
department, Commissioner Dennet of
the general land Office and the legal
authorities Of the department., after
placing several constructions upon the
new bill, have agreed that it leaves
them no choice but to issue patents
as rapidly as possible to the home
steaders who have offered final proof,
and whose claims the government can
not prove to be chiefly valuable for
coal deposits.
The legal authorities of the depart
ment have been inclined to hold that
the government had a right to hold
up the patents until it could examine
the lands. The decision has finally
been reached, however, that the land
is chiefly valuable for coal. and in the
event that it is not the patent must
be issued to the homesteader.
Commissioner bennett is preparing
to send a large force of inspectors
into North Dakota to examine the
claims which have not been proved
up, so that the government will be
ready when final proof is offered

State Superintendent Stockwell has

the district from paying the bonds

legislature from the general fund. The
