Fort Fairfield Review: Much grain

Fort Fairfield Review; Much grain
is still lying outdoors. OF course the
grain harvest during the past few
weeks has not been nearly so rapid as
the potato harvest, for two reasons
the potato harvest was so much more
important that It was attended te first,
and some work digEing potatoes could
fairly well be done in weather so wet
that the grain could not be handled,
that is, before the grain had dried
sufficiently for hauling in or threshing.
1t looks as ii some of the grain in
Aroostook win have TO be frozen dry.
if ii gets dry at all. 1t is surely hoped
that not much will have to be lost al
together.

OPEN FOR ENTRY OCTl

the law, which authorizes the takinl
Of the land by either settlement O.
entry, some exciting scenes may b.
enacted.
The law provides that a perso,
may take possession Of the land OF

Office at Minot. The former methot
is called taking the land by settle
ment, and the latter by entry. II
. person settles on the land and
starts improvements, he has ninety
days in which to make formal entry.
If he settles on the land before an
other person appears at the land Office
at Minot to file he gets the land, but
if the person files before the first
man makes settlement, the one who
files first gets it.
But here is the question. If two
men move on to the land and are
holding it down at 8 o'clock on Oct.
l, who gets it? The officials at the
land Office are unable to answer this
question. Such q situation would
result in litigation, and only the
courts would probably settle it. In
stances Of this kind have occurred be-
fore, and in some cases the land has
been cut in two parts and each man
gets half.
Suppose, in addition to the two
men being on the land, third man
appears at the Minot land office and
files at 9 o'clock, Oct. /. Who gets
the land in this case? This is an.
other conundrum for the land off,
cials.
Zone thing is certain" said an Of
fetal Of the land Office this morning,
and that is that no person gains
my right by being on the land be-
fore 9 o'clock October /. Settlement
before 8 o'clock does not count. In
'act, the landseeker has no rights on
;he land whatever prior to 8 o'clock

PARCELS POST
HITS EXPRESS
CONFLICT BETWEEN RATES FIX.
ED BY COMMISSION AND
PLANS OF DEPARTMENT

Washington, Sept. 13.-The nev
parcels post system has raised som
complications in adjustment Of ex
press rates by the interstate commerce
commission. Last July the commits
sion radically changed the methods o.
the operation of express companies
and suggested a system Of rates and
rate-making to be considered by the
express officials. Tentatively October
8 was fixed as p date on which the
commission would hear from the ex-
press companies and shippers reasons
why the proposed rates should not be-
come effective.
Into the mass of figures Of the tens
of thousands Of rates suggested in the
change, many errors crept, to correct
which the commission announced it
would issue supplementary order. It
probably will be published in a few
days.
In view Of the unavoidable delay in
the issuance Of the corrected order
and m view, also, Of the new parcels
post system which affects directly the
companies, it is practically
assured the express officials will re-
quest a postponment Of the October
hearing, that they may have oppor-
tunity to check and compare the par.
:els post and the commission rates
With their own. It is possible the COM
mission may regard the request as
It is desirable to secure

ate structure to avoid q long period

THE COAL CLAIMS
FINALLY SETTLED
CANCELLATION OF BLANKET
PATENTS ORDERED BY sECRE-
TARY OF INTERIOR FISHER

Washington, Sept. 13.-All Of tn,
twenty-three so-called Cunningham
coal land claims involving the alleg.
Cd fraudulsn, blanket patents which
contributed to the Ballinger- -P;nchot
controversy, have been disposed OF
finally by the interior department.
The appeals have been adversely
decided and Secretary Fisher has d.
rectcd the immediate execution IF
the decision of Commissioner bennett
Of the general land offic, who held
that the claims were improperly al
lowed and that the entries should be
cancelled. Secretary Fisher took this
final action on his second review Of
the cases.
No more Of the real Cunningham
claims are pending, though the inte-
rior department is regularly passing
upon other Alaskan claims somewhat
similar to those in the Cunningham
group. OF the thousands or more
such claims 300 already have been
...
The Cunningham claims had an
aggregate area of $3.50 acres and
their value ran high into the mil
ions. It has been alleged that the
Morgan Guggenheim syndicate owned
he blanket claims Of Guggenheim
md their associates. With the con-
roversy over the claims came the
dismissal from the public service of
chief Forester Pinchot, Louis r.
slavis, chief Of the field division of

MRS. OLSON
PASSED AWAY
WIFE OF SHERIFF E. B. OLSON
DIED THIS MORNING AFTER
! BRIEF ILLNESS

Olson at one o'clock this morning hal
cast a feeling Of sadness over the en-
tire community and Williston is Z
city Of mourning today.
Death came as result of an attack
Of black diphtheria followed by paraly.
sis of the heart and throat.
Mrs. Olson was taken sick two
weeks ago Tuesday and the disease
took the most violent form from the
start. Within three days after being
taken sick Mrs. Olson was in . very
critical condition but the following
Monday she improved considerable
and continued this way until last Sun
day when hemorrhages set in. The
physicians succeeded in getting these
stopped but last evening she suffered
IN attack Of paralysis Of the heart and
throat and death came to relieve the
sufferer about one o'clock in the morn
ing. Everything that human skill
could do was done in an effort to save
Mrs. Olson but without avail. Over
two-hundred thousand units II anti
toxin were used to check the diphtheria
and in ordinary cases fifteen to
twenty thousand is sufficient. The
case is the most severe ever seen in
this section Of the country and one Of
the most severe ever heard of.
Mrs. Olson was the daughter Of Mr..
and Mrs. John 0veson and was born
in Chicago February sth, 1890, being
but twenty-five years old when SUM-
moned to answer the call Of the death
angel. She moved toWillston with
her parents in June, 1907. She was
ma, ried to E. B. Olsen in this city on
the twenty-dfth day Of August, 1900.
Mrs. Olson was . member Of the Epis-
copal church Of this city. She ran the
journey Of her life in twenty-five short |
years but it was . life marked with
deeds Of kindness and cheer. She
was Of cheerful disposition and scat
tered sunshine everywhere. Truth
was the inspiration Of her life and by
kindness she exempliAed its great
worth. 80.
The deceased leaves q husband; two
children, a little son Benjamin Frank,
aged two years and one month; lit
tie daughter, Genevieve Marguerite,
aged nine months; . father and moth
er, . brother and sister to mourn her
untimely death. Her sister, Miss
Helen lives here and her parents and
brother Frank live in Medicine Lake,
Montana. The sympathy Of the en-
tire community is with these bereaved
ones in this the greatest loss they can
sustain Funeral services will be held
tomorrow afternoon at two o'clock.
I'VE will weep for the days that come
no more,
For the sunbeam gone from the heart D..
and door;
For missing step, for = nameless y
grace, r
7or mothers form, for a mothers
face; =
3ut not for the soul whose crown is :,
won, -~. -
whose infinite joy has only begun; -
lot for the spirit enrobed in light, i
;rowned where the angels are to-
ight." l,
