A Big REAL
ESTATE DEAL

Joseph l. Liberty last week con-
sumated Il deal with Richard \. Har-
low for the remaining portion of the
Geyser tract, consisting Of about H.
600 acres, the consideration being
about $2S5, 900. The deal has been
pending for about two months. The
farming lands in the tract will be put
on the market for retail and will be
handled by Mr.. Cobb. the real estate
man Of tLewistown. The grazing
lands in the tract will be utilized as
pasture for Mr.. Harlow's stock.
The turning Of this tract in
wholesale way has brought Mr.. Lib
erty to the front in the real estate
world, and stamps him as conner
who will be heard from later in other
big deals. Mr.. Liberty bought the
tract from firm in Miles City who
purchased it from the Long Invest
ment company of Great Falls. At
that time the tract consisted of l5.-
600 acres. AS soon as he had acquir-
ell an option on the property he visit
ed Madison, Wis, and formed Il COM
pany among his friends who took the
tract over. The new company took
possession about two years ago. ami
at once made arrangements to retail
the land. About 1900 acres of it
were sold at retail ut prices running
as high as $3.50 an acre. The land
is among the best in the Judith Ba-
SIN, and the purchaser secured IL bar
gain III securing the unsold portion
at the price quoted.
Mr.. Liberty is new in the real es-
tate business, hut is Il live wire and
is rapidly catching on to the money
making possibilities of this rich az
ricultural country, and if he keeps on
hustling will soon be Il millionaire.

NEW RULING FOR
HOMESTEADERS

l}y reversing itself and declaring
that married mans family only is
sufficient residence in proving up on
homestead the United States gen.
eral land office has just made new
and important ruling that will be
hailed with delight by homesteaders
and claim-holders throughout the
west, says dispatch from Rapid
City, $. u.
For years it has been understood
that the general land office adhered
to the practise of forcing home
steader to personally reside on his
claim, regardless of whether his fam
lily did or not. Several rulings to this
effect have been made, and although
some settlers were willing to take
chances, the wise ones followed reg
ulatiOns.
Assistant Commissioner S. Y.
PrOudtit at Washington has Just rem
dered a decision in the case Of Chas.
X. Zenor, that completely reverses
the land Offices former stand. Zenor
was q barber at Boone, IOwn, and
came to Pennington county where he
filed on homestead. Unable to make
his living on the homestead, he work
ed at his trade at Pierre and kept his
wife and children on the homestead
the full IA months before he attempt
ed to commute. The local land office
ruled against him, but Commissioner
PrOudfit in reviewing the case holds
that this is an injustice to the home-
steader. He declares that in reading
through past decisions. he finds the
words personal residence" used as
meaning the claimant himself, but
that his own Interpretation OF this
wording is that it may mean simply
the family if the homesteader in good
faith has established his family on
the claim and visits them when he
can.
The new ruling will be Of great
benefit to homesteaders and is due to
the efforts OF congressman Martin
and Burke who have for months la
bored with the department and Off
cials Of the land office for more
equitable ruling III such land cases.
