For year there has been a good deal
of unwise political work in this section
of the state, which, coupled with the
mismanagement of the present cam

big republican slump in Stark county

HOMESTEAD
RESIDENCE
Settlers May Obtain Leave of
Absence, But Cannot Get Credit
for Time so Granted Nor for
Prior Time on Claim.

A question that is uppermost in the
minds Of thousands Of homesteaders in
North Dakota today is: How can get
living and hold down my homestead
this winter? The fact of crop shortage
in nearly all sections outside of Stark,
Dunn, Billings, Hettinser and Bowman
counties and q complete failure in some
sections. places many newcomers in
straitened circumstances until the next
crop season.
As matter Of fact. however. the
government does not expect the impos-
sible Of the homeateader and has provided
for such emergencies. AS will be seen
by the new law quoted below, nearly if
not quite all the homesteaders of the
state may obtain leave of absence for
the coming winter under that clause of
the law which permits of the granting
of leave of absence for total or par
tial destruction or failure of crops. etc.
Following are the rules under which
leave of absence may be obtained.
i. Applications for leave of absence
may be sworn to before the register or
receiver or before any officer using a
seal and authorized to administer oathe.
2. The law authorizes registers and
receivers to grant leaves of absence for
period not exceeding one year at any
one time, subject to the approval of the
commissioners Of the general land Office,
whenever it shall be made to appear
that the settler lis unable, by reason of
total or partial destruction or failure
of crops, sickness, or other unavoidable
casualty, to secure support for him
self. herself, or those dependent upon
him or her, upon the lands settled
uDCn* ~
3. In each case full particulars should
be given in the application. which
should state ,he failure or destruction of
crops, if the crops have failed or been
destroyed. to what extent. and cause
thereof. In case Of sickness. what
disease or injury and to what extent
claimant is prevented thereby from con-
tinuing on the land, and certificate from
the physician in attendance setting
forth the facts should also be furnished.
In the case OF ''Other unavoidable casu-
atty. the character, cause. and extent
thereof and its effect upon the land or
the claimant sholud be stated.
4. Residence must be established upon
the land within six months after date
of entry. and additional time can not
be granted within which to establish
such residence. nor will the leave of
absence be granted unless first estab-
lished upon the land.
S. The time of actual residence under
such leave cannot be considered as con-
structive residence or be deducted from
the period of actual residence by law.
Under recent decision of the Secretary
of Interior, leave of absence breaks
the continuity of claimants residence.
so that credit can not be given for resi-
dence on the land prior to leave and
residence on the land subsequent there
to in commuted proof, IA months.
continuous residence must be shown to
make satisfactory communication proof.
All absence under leave of absence
must be made up before proof can be
made either S wear or communication.
