WHAT Is HO
Common Belief is That a Mans Home
is Where His Family is,

Is Where His Family is.
Pierre.-ln all the uncertainties OF
what the government land department
might rule as to the requisites for
proof on a homestead, those who have
been dealing with that department for
years, have finally accepted one thing
not subject to daily change, and that
is the policy that a home is where the
family resides. On this more than n
homesteader has been told that no
matter what he may have done in the
way of improvements, unless his fam
lily was with him he had made no
home on the claim, that his home was
in town where mis- family resided
while the head of the house WAS on the
claim, and on this many a claim has
been cancelled. But a Stanley county
claimant has just run up against n
other idea of some one in the govern
ment land department. He went upon
established his family on the tract,
put up good buildings, fenced the
ground, and put in a crop.
Then leaving the family on the claim
he went to town and secured work
for funds to keep the family until the
land should be in a shape to bring a
financial return. He offered commuta-
ton proof, and has been turned down
by the general land department on the
ground that the location of his family
on the land did not make it his home,
but that his home was at the place
where he individually put in most Of
his time.
While on his trip through this state
the attention of President Taft was
called to many of the difficulties
thrown in the way of the homesteader
in securing title to his land, and the
papers in this particular case will be
used to find out just how far the land
department can go in double reversals
of its own rulings to harass a settler.

Irrigation Rights.

Pierre.-There has been considera-
BILE inquiry concerning the securing
OF water rights for irrigation pur-
poses. Such rights cSn only be Sc
cured on streams with a mean flow
of 20 miners inches. Those with less
fowage are treated as dry draws. A
water right on any stream vests it's
holder with the absolute right to use
so much water, and if his pro rata is
diminished by appropriation of water
above, the law will protect him in his
right. No rights can be secured on
dry draws, and a man constructing a
dam on such, does so at the risk OF
some n cutting off his supply of wa
ter from above.
