Mclean county is only twelve
miles wide on the northern bound
ary and twelve miles south of Dog
den it is only six miles wide.
Dogden is the only town in the
northern half Of the country.
The Turtle Lake Wave says it
costs IL cents less to Turtle Lake
from Dogden, than 1T does to go
from Dogden to Washburn. That
might be true, but to get to Turtle
Lake we would have to go by the
way of Darlington aud would have
to change cars twice. Couldn't
think of having the county seat at
Turtle Lake.

Gentlemen: The following in

guidance in the administration of
the act of Congress approved Feb.
,l3, 1911, extending the time for
certain homesteaders to establish
residence upon their lands" Pub
lie No, 357), a copy of which is
attached hereto.
The first section of the act ap-
plies to all homestead entries in
the states named after June L,
1910, and in such cases the entry
men are given until May Is. 1911,
to establish residence upon their
claims. 1t also applies to soldiers
declaratory statements filed in the
states named after June l, 1910,
and such declarants are given
until May Is, 1911, to make their
homestead entries and to establish
their residence on the land. If
any payment is required to be
made in connection with the entry
under the declaratory statement,
as in the case of ceded Indian
reservations, the act also operates
to extend the payment until the
entry is made.
The first proviso to section l Of
the act provides that the period Of
commutation or of actual residence
shall not be shortened. Entry
men who have taken advantage
of this extention cannot submit

ment by the board of managers.
Habitual drunkenness, going
into places where liquor was sold
contrary to law, together with
other offences against the good
order of the state.
March % is the date set to hear
the case. This will be the first
impeachment trial ever seen in
North Dakota. Geo. A. Bangs Of
Grand Forks has been imployed
by the board of managers and it is
common rumor that Mr.. Bangs
brother, Tracy R. Bangs, also Of
Grand Forks, will represent Judge
Cowan, in which event the two
distinguished attorneys of the same
family will be brought face to face
against each other. Judge Cowan
has not confirmed the report and
when asked about the matter ap.
peared reticent and stated he had
not any plans to make public at
this time regarding who would be
retained to appear for him. It is
known, however, he has implicit
faith in the ability of Tracy Bangs
and the fact he made no denial Of
the rumor lent weight to the sup
position that the story might be
more than gossip.
The Bangs brothers are two OF
the ablest lawyers in North Dakota.
They are frequently pitted against
each other, though never have
they been opponents in so noted q
case as the Cowan trial will be.
It is expected that Judge
Cowan's impeachment trial will
attract hundreds of visitors from
other states to Bismarck, and that
the city will be more crowded
than during the recent session Of
the legislature. Already reserva-
tions have been made at the two
leading hotels for accommodations
for March %, all the senators
engaging their rooms before leaving
Wires have been received from
others who wish to merely attend
the proceedings, some coming
from Minneapolis and St. Paul.

COUNTRY HOME BURNED.
Fire Leaves Pendants, Near Falls
Church, Va, in Ruins.

The handsome country residence
known as Penn-Dennis at Munsons
Hill. near Falls Church. Va. and owned
by Mrs. Louise Hillard Patterson of
1I75 California street was burned to
the ground Wednesday night. There
was a small insurance.
This house was one Of the landmarks
of the county. The main part was built
sixty years ago by Mr. Munson. and
the uprights and beams were of hewn
oak. eight inches by eight inches. The
house was hundred feet long by
fifty-two feet wide. containing seven
teen rooms. Large porches twelve feet
wide surround the house.
Mrs. Patterson and her daughter, who
had been in Washington during the day,
were sitting at the dinner table when
the dogs commenced a vigorous bark
ing. Mrs. Patterson went to the door
to see what was the matter and saw
a blaze OF light. A moment later she
discovered one of the chimneys on fire,
the flames leaping from the chimney
many feet high. The family rushed out
and called for help. Much of the fur
niture was carried out of the lower part
of the house. but the flames spread
so rapidly that nothing was saved from
the second floor. Mrs. Patterson has
owned the place over twenty years and
had made many improvements.

MAY GET STAFFORD HOUSE.
Rumor That Prince of Wales Will
Live There.
Correspondence Of The Star.

Foreign Correspondence Of The Star.
LONDON, October "a, 1911.
It Is rumored that the palatial Stat
ford House, the famous home Of the
Dukes Of Sutherland, is to be handed over
to the king as a residence for the Prince
of Wales on his coming Of age In the
absence Of definite information it may
be pointed out that the Stafford House
is built on crown land, being part Of the
stable yard OF st. James Palace and part
Of the Green Park. In another twenty
five years or so the lease will fall in,
when an enormous premium for the re-
newal probably will be demanded by the
government. Add to this prospective diff
Guilty the fact that the Duke of Suther-
land Is believed to be willing to part
with the residence to a really desirable
tenant, and 1t will be seen that its acqui-
| sition by the crown Is an extremely
likely event.
AS to its suitability for the prince
| there can hardly be two opinions. Orig
| inally. indeed, Stafford House was intend
ed as a royal residence. 1t was built
for George IT'S second son, the Duke OF
York. but he did not live to inhabit it.
On his death 1t was purchased by the
then Duke Of Sutherland, in 1871. for
1900, and the government spent this
money in laying out Victoria Park. The
place is now estimated at half a million
sterling.
If the prince goes to Stafford House he
| will possess the finest private residence
in London. The great gallery is, perhaps,
the most magnificent room in the coun-
Versailles. Here and In the adjoining
rooms are a superb collection of master
pieces, including works by Raphael,
Titan. Murillo. Rubens and Velasquez.
