after June 25th commenced to re-
ceive notice that their filings were
rejected. Many of them had made
substantial Improvements and had
established residence on their en-

Lost Among
the High Hills

Lost in the Hills" ought to be a
fitting prelude to the thrilling story
in which three huntsmen bold were
heroes; Messrs. Madison, Jackson
and Warner, and the stage scenery
was that infinite waste of undula-
ting hills between here and Sweet
Grass. The time was Sunday even
ing and the weather was a bit wet
and tritie cold. The hunters bold
lost all sense of direction and wan
dered about those hills for hours,
with nothing to vary the monotonv
but bleating band of sheep and a
lone herder hard against the gray
mists of evening Disconsolate and
fatigued they camped at a conve-
nient haystack Sunday night and
early the next morning started on a
hunt-for Cut Bank, but landed at
the Davidson ranch, late in the day.
There they were given food and
shelter over Monday night. Tues
day trio of wet, weary and grim
huntsmen stole quietly into Cut
Bank and when asked if they had
anything to say for publication they
shook their heads gravely and neg
atively.

The homestead law does not in
express terms require establishment
of residence within six months from
date of the entry. The law gives a
period of seven years within which
to prove five years actual residence

The Land Department, like all
other tribunals, recognizes rights a
rising from inevitable casualty. Ser
ious illness of member of ones
family is inevitable casualty, for the
anxiety arising from human obliga-
ton constrain the mind so that it is
not free to carry out its purposes.
Where entryman has settled up
on land and made substantial COM
pliance with the homestead law as
to cultivation, residence and i'm
provement for the five years imme-
diately succeeding that date, his
subsequent residence elsewhere, af-
ter the expiration of the five year
period and the submission of his
final proof, can IN no wise affect his
right to patent for the land.
When a person takes desert land
entry by way of assignment, he is
thereafter disqualified from making
an original desert land entry.
A person making an additional
homestead entry contiguous to his
original entry under Section z, OF
the act of April Z8, 1904, (33 Stat
527) may reside upon either tract.

The Over Production Humbug.
Cby A. A. Schenck.)

E. p. Powell in his book, "The
Orchard and Fruit Garden published
in 1904, wrote as follows;
There are, according to the last
estimates, 100000, 900 apple trees IN
the orchards Of the United States,
and these trees are supposed to yield
somewhere about IT'S, 900 bushels
of fruit annually. Good judges predict
that five years from now there will be
an annual production of five hundred
million bushels
That "1ate estimate" must have
been made in 1903 or earlier; the five
wears later must have been 1903 or
earlier. In place of 500, 600, 900 bushels,
there were produced in the United
States in 1909 only 70,O0O,0OO bushels.
This is about a sample of the good
Judgment and the wise pedictions of
the pessimist,5E. p. Powell, in spite of
his expected five hundred million bush
els. stated that there were no fears OF
over supply. Why then with only
70, 600, 600 bushdels in place of the five
hundred million bushels, should any
one worry?
Among the reasons for the five hund-
red million bushels not materiallzing,
we have the following:
"Ihe annual report of the nursery
and orchard Inspector of Ohio shows
that from 1899 to 1909 the apple orch
ard average Of that state declined from
$780, 900 acres to 220, 600 acres, and the
production of apples in the state de
clind from 1000, 600 bushls to 5000, OOC
