Plain andt the Point
Pronunciamento From the General Land Office Intended to
Put Damper on the Ardor Of Parties Hunting Deputy
ships That They May be Enabled to Forego
Residence on Their Homesteads.

By request of several of our patrons,
as well as to answer in a general way
questions that have been fired at US al
most daily for several weeks past, we
publish the following from recent
Washington letter by Col. Lounsberry
to the Fargo Forum touching on the
requirements by the department of
permanent residence on their home
steads by parties who are and have
been persistent in the contention that
they are absolved from such residence
by reason of their holding some deputy
ship or clerical position in some federal
office. The Colonel writes:
''There is decided change in handl-
ing land matters since the new admins
tration has taken the helm. One thing
that strikes me as being of the greatest
Importance is a disposition to do exact
justice to persons entering public lands,
while holding all to a strict compliance
with the law. There was a time, not
very remote, when an agent sent into
the field to investigate was expected to
make cases, and if he made favorable
reports in too many cases his services
in the field were dispensed with. Agents
are not instructed to report the facts
exactly as they are, and that their
standing will not depend upon the num-
ber of unfavorable reports they make.
CAN the entries in North Dakota
suspended on account of coal have now
been restored to the channel leading to
patent, excepting those in the following
towns: In Williston district: town 152,
range IS; towns l53. 154 and 155, range
100; and towns 154 and 155, range 1O1.

tricts: towns 140, 14l and 142. range

burden is on the government to show
that the lands are more valuable for
coal than for agricultural purposes, and
an inspection of each claim may be
necessary in these towns before the
entry can pass the patent. If they are
in fact chiefly valuable for coal they
should be entered under coal land laws.
Otherwise the nearly two million acres
withdrawn from the market have been
restored.
%3,''While showing liberality in that re-
spect the enforcement of the law in re-
lation to commuted entries has become
very strict. Actual residence now
means personal presence on the land
fd practically the whole period re-
qlired. No more counting service as
clerks in postoffice, railway mail car
riers, or other official positions as resi-
dence upon the land in commuted home
steads goes, nor does prolonged alb
sences teaching school, or working to
make living" These things may 20
on five year proof, unless absence be-
comes the rule, but to commute now
requires fourteen months presence up
on the land. A Fargo party recently
proved up showing that his wife refused
to live with him on the land; that he
lived on the land as much as he could;'
that his duties called him away, travel
ing in Minnesota and North Dakota, and
he could not be on the land more than
once a month in summer and not at all
in winter. He was really no better off
than the man who was absent on short
business trips, not explaining that his
short business trips were from Duluth,
where his family resided, instead of
from his claim near Harvey which he
never visited but three times.
"The craze for acquiring land under
the timber and stone act is now over.
The new regulations now require the
timber to be appraised and those pur-
chasing must pay the full value of the
timber. No more land for $3.50 per
acre with Underworld 81, 900 to S, 600
per quarter section. Uncle Samuel has
certainly killed the goose that laid the
golden egg for the lumbermen. but he
waited entirely too long. And the coal

Pete Bertelson, the merchant prince
of Kenmare, is credited with turning
down an application recently for
small subscription in aid of the fire de-
partment of that city. with the remark
that he'd "rather burn out twice year
than contribute dollar to the support
of any fire department. Maybe Pete
doesn't care "whether school keeps or
not" People may draw their own con-
clusions-and then few.

sold at $40 to $40 per acre, as before,
regardless of the value of coal. They

in Congress and pertaining to the pro-
posed extension of the drawback privi-
leges. If you, after reading the same,
think there is an economic proposition
of more than passing disadvantage to
the American farmer and producer of
the raw material at stake, kindly pub
lish the inclosed section as it reads, and
let everybody that reads it judge for
themselves if they are interested in
this all-important measure, and if they
are, ask them to come forward and ex-
press their opinions publicly-ask them
to write their Congressman and U: S.
Senator to state if they are for or
against the extension of the proposed
drawback privileges. One thing is GER
tain, every American wheat grower
will do well in analyzing the first part
of this section, as it means much for
his future prosperity.
Yours respectively,
Following is the first paragraph of
Sec. % which has to do with the wheat
grower and to which our correspondent
refers as obnoxious and dead against
the most vital interests of the Ameri-
can wheat grower. Read it over care
fully and take immediate action looking
to the stand of your representative in
either house of Congress and ask him
to place himself squarely before his
constituents on the stand he proposes
taking on, this all-important matter:
SEC. 20. On the expectation of arti-
cles manufactured or prodnced in the
United States either in whole or part
of imported materials, or from domes-
tic materials of equal quantity and pro-
ductive manufacturing quality and val
ue, such question to be determined by
the Secretary of Treasury, there shall
be allowed a drawback equal in amount
to the duties paid on the imported ma
terials used, or where domestic mater
ials are used, to the duties paid on the
equivalent of imported materials, less
the legal deduction of one per cent:
Provided, That the expectation shall be
made within three years after the im7
portation of the foreign material used
or checked against: And provided fur
ther, That the: quantity of material used
and the amount of duties paid shall
be ascertained, the facts of the manu-:

themselves sitting upon the platform az

EXHUME SUTTONS
BODY TODAY

BY United Press Leased Special Wire.
WASHINGTON, Sept. BIN a final ef-
fort to prove that the injuries from
which he died were not self-inficted. Mrs.
sutton viii have the body of her son
Lieutenant J. n. Sutton exhumed at Ar
lington National Cemetery this afternoon
Physicians representing the Sutton fam
lily and the Navy Department win make
a careful examination Of the body in or
der to substantiate or disprove Mrs. sut-
toms claim that the young mans arm
was broken in the melee with his fellow
officers at Annapolis on the night Of Octo-
ber is. 1907. and that therefore it would
have been impossible for him to fire the
fatal shot.
Mrs. Sutton has received the sanction
Of Cardinal Gibbons for the reburial OF her
boy in consecrated ground.
