Weather and Say Quits.
Great Falls Leader: Assaults by
Jupiter Pluvius upon the Northern
Montana fair last night resulted
fatally, and the 10th annual exhibi-
tiOn which was set for this week ex-
pired at the hands of the rain demon,
with the officers and directors of the
association assisting as chief mourn
ers at the death scene. In other
words, the 1911 show of the Northern
Montana fair has been "called off,"
cancelled. After squint at the sky
line last night, it did not take the d.
rectors long to decide what to do
when they got together, and as pre-
dicted in yesterdays Leader they de-
cided that there wasn't any use of
hanging on any longer with no promise
of the weather clearing and with
ey cry promise of deeper financial en-
barrassment.
AS a result of the decision of the
fair directors the public schools will
continue in session through the week
and the stores will not close at ALL
"The Pageant of Nations" remains a
vague, unrealized dream of beauty on
wheels, and this, too, will be put away
in the attic with the little tin soldier
of Boy Blue. The race horsemen, who
have $50 animals in the track stables,
are perhaps as badly disappointed as
anyone. What they are saying doesn't
help the weather any, but it satisfies
their spirit OF course, no one thinks
of the fair directors, who are perhaps
the least downcast of all the people
affected by the weather. In matter
of fact tone one of them says, 1--WE
will lose only about $4,000" Which
| is bad enough.
However, the directors also explain
that they have just about $4,000 left
in the treasury or enough to meet the
Indebtedness contracted thus far for
the 10th annual show. For this rea-
son, too, they say, it is much better to
call off proceedings now, when the
loss is no greater than the treasury
resources. than to withhold the final

tion can pull out without a deficit.
The cancellation of the fair will not
affect the Great Cosmopolitan Carni-

give just as good an entertainment
in rainy weather as in the most

Mining.

The Act of June %, 1910, provides
for the allowance of agricultural
entries of lands which have been with
drawn or classified as coal lands, re-
serving to the United States the coal
therein, and permitting the entryman
to receive a limited patent.
Where entries have been allowed
without notice of such classification
or withdrawal and of the conditions
imposed by the act, the entryman
may, If he so desires, be permitted to
relinquish his entry without prejudice
to his homestead right. If he does
not signify his election to complete
the entry under the terms and condi-
tions imposed by the act, his entry
will be Cancelled.
The act, however, does not deny
him the right to hearing with view
to disprove such classification under
the regulations in such cases made
and provided.
If. as matter of fact, land is non
mineral in character, an invalid placer
claim would be no bar to it's appro
priation under the homestead law, and
in such case, the only question at issue
would be the mineral or non-mineral
character of the land.
A perfected mining location within
the area of an executive withdrawal

The homestead law does not in ex.
press terms require establishment OF
residence within six months from date
of the entry, as said in Nilsson VS.. st.
Paul, M. & M. r. r. Co. (6 l.. D. 567-
569). The law gives period OF seven
years within which to prove five years
actual residence and cultivation.
The Land Department, like all other
tribunals, recognizes rights arising
from inevitable casualty. Serious ILL.,
ness of member of ones family Is
inevitable casualty, for the anxiety
arising from affliction and the duty
arising from human obligation con-
strain the mind SO that it is not free
to carry out it's purposes.
When real estate, comprising more
than 100 acres had been conveyed to
person by another for the purpose
OF defrauding creditors, such grantee
took the legal title and did not hold
as trustee. When such grantee there
after made homestead application, he
was disqualified, upon the ground that
he was the owner of more than 16O
acres Of land.
Where entryman has settled upon
land and made substantial compliance
with the homestead law as to cultiva-
tion, residence and improvement for
the five years Immediately succeeding
that date, his subsequent residence
elsewhere, after the expiration Of the
f1ve-year period and the submission of
his final proof, can in no wise affect

1t is for the General Land Office to
determine in what cases resuryeys
are necessary and in what cases they
are not. When a township has been
withdrawn from entry for investiga-
tiOn as to whether resurvey is neces-
sary, the Commissioner of the General
Land Office has sole primary juris.
diction to determine the necessity Of
resurvey. Until that determination,
the township remains sub. judice, and
the suspension is in force.
1t Is within the discretion of the
Commissioner of the General Land
Office to refuse to entertain contest
when the entry in question is under
investigation by the Government,
through it's special agents, and such
action of the Commissioner is not
denial of a statutory right.
In the exercise of such discretion,
he may accept or refuse the offer of
any one to aid in the prosecution of
proceedings against an entry that has
been commenced by the Government
Citing Milroy VS.. Jones (36 L. D. 43S-

That rule appears with greater force
when no preference right of entry can
be acquired under such contest and
when, in consequence thereof, no legal
right is denied by refusing to allow
the application.
