was cut, and the spikes were pulled on
both sides nearly the entire length of
bar, and the bolts and nuts of the
Joint showed that they had been pulled
with a wrench. One splice bar vas
placed between the rails to keep them
from going together.

Commissioner S. V. Proudfit. of the
general laand office, has handed down
a decision in a case sent up from the
Rapid City land office, refusing to
accept the proof of a claim filed upon
by a Sioux City photographer. TIE
decision establishes, in brief, thaG a
mans wife cannot establish residence
on a claim. 1t was brought out in the
testimony that his wife had made the
claim iacr continuous residence since
August {, 1907. but that the husband
had been absent w or three months
at Il time. and on one occasion six
months. Commissioner Proudit says:
Residence under homestead laws
u be established by the personal
act of the ~entryman. Residence on a
homestead must be in person and can
not be by proxy, wen by ~ member Of
the ertryinan's family. Residence I'M
der the homestead law cannot be es-
tablislled by the acts of another"
This decision is only another mani
festation OF the determination Of the
general land office to be more strict
in requiring literal compliance with the
provisions of the homestead law.

said Captain Osborne, and if he came
straight home he would arrive in New

but his friends believe that he may
make several stops OF the way home.
For one thing, the ~geographers and sci
entists of Copenhagen will tender him
a welcome. He may go to Christiania
to meet Captain Aniundsen, the discov-
erer of the northwest passage. 1t is
likely that he Will visit Belgium, where
he has been decorated for his services
to science, and it is scarcely conceivable
that the British geographical societies
would allow him to pass them by on his
way home without an invitation to
London.
