The Packard Shoes.
The Shoe of
Shoes for Men.

In buying shoes remember that
no last matches all feet any more than
a particular photograph represents all
faces. Give your attention first to
the fit; then material and then to
style.
A shoe that you must break is
sure to break out
We do not pretend that we make
a shoe Of one particular pattern that
will fit any foot. We know too much
about the difference in feet for that.
What we claim is, that no matter what
the shape ofyour foot, we have a shoe
that will fit it. 1t is good sense to
forget the name unless it fits; and
then you will never forget the Pack
ard Shoe is the name remembered by
of the most fastidious men
in America as ''the shoe of shoes,
that fits and retains its perfect style
until worn out.
Our line of ladies shoes are not
eXcelled at any store in town.

In addition to the advantages OF the
settlement clause" mentioned in last
weeks issue, it also applies in the mat
ter of simultaneous applications.
Simultaneous applications are where
two persons apply at the same time
to make a selection or hing. Ii
neither party has settled upon the
land, and it is otherwise open Tor
entry, the right to file is sold a auc-
ton to the highest bidder applying,
but if neither party has made set
Element" upon the land the settler has
the preference right of entry.
"A. correspondent inquiries: ga
desert entry upon which no reclama-
tion work has been made, has been
reported for cancellation by the land
office. | should like to file upon it as
a homestead How shall | proceed?'
No preference right of entry can be
acquired where the government has
taken the initiatory proceedings to
cancel an entry; when the commits
sioner orders the entry cancelled the
land is open to the first legal applicant.
II, however, you settle upon the land,
and when cancelled you are occupying
same with the bona fide intention Of
filing a homestead thereon, you would
have the preference right of entry.
Another correspondent asks, about
six months ago my desert entry of
800 acres was cancelled by the COM
missioner, the reclamation work not
having been done. Can I get back
the $4,000 | paid when filing. If 50,
how shall | proceed?"
There appears to be but little under
standing Of the provisions Of the
repayment act" by settlers. Sec. of
the act of June 10, 1880, provides: "In
all cases where homestead or timber
culture or desert land entries, or 9th
er entries Of public lands have here
tofore or shall hereafter be cancelled
for conflict, or where from any cause
the entry has been "erroneously al
lowed" and cannot be confirmed, the
amout Of the purchase money fees
and commissions may be repaid"
If the records Of the land office, Or
the proofs furnished, should show
that the entry ought not to be per-
mitted, then it would be Enormously
allowed" but if a tract Of land were
subject to entry. and the final proof
