HOMESTEAD Law
Clears Up Erroneous Impressions
in Regard to Residence Re-

Washington. Aug. Io.-"There seems
to be an impression that under the three
year law credit for residence will not be
allowed before the date Of the entry for the
reason that in its first clause section 22oI,
as amended. states:
mo certificate. however. shall be given

tion of three years from the date Of such
entry. and in presenting this question to
the commissioner of the general land Office.
my attention was directed to the fact that
section 22oI. as il stood before the recent
legislation. began with exactly the same
clause. excepting for the word five in lieu
OF three as il now stands.
The commissioner has ruled in this
matter that credit for residence and culti-

allowed hereafter. as heretofore. through

POPLAR vs.. HAVRE
Havre Wins Series of Ball Games
Played this week with Poplar
on havre Ball Grounds

A clipping from the Great Falls
Tribune by special correspond
ent gives some interesting baseball
news. Smith, a former Culbeit-
son pitcher and Mccormack, our
catcher held similar positions with
Poplar in series OF games be.
tween Poplar ami Havre at the
latter city tins week. Havre comes
out victorious winning three games
out Of series of FIVE. Poplar gets
away with the first game and Hav-
re the next three:
Havre. Aug. Ia.-The series of ball
games between Poplar and Havre has SO
far presented the best exhibitions OF the
game ever witnessed in the city. The
double header yesterday drew large
crowd out to the grounds. at least one half
OF whom were ladies. Both teams were in
prime condition, and played the game for
all they were worth. The first game was
a pitchers battle roval. Kenyon was in
the box for Havre and Harvey occupied
like position for the visitors. Alright ball
was played for seven innings. neither side
securing run. In the eighth and also in
the ninth. Poplar secured one run. and
while the home team batted the ball. they
were not so well placed. and fell into the
m,tts of the fielders in such a wav that
was discouraging to the fans. The ret re-
suit was Poplar q. Havre O.
In the next game Poplar put Smith in
the box. and Kenyon remained in for the
home team. The Havre boys took kindly
to Smiths curves. drops, and spit balls.
and enjoyed a swatfeast to the tune Of
eight runs. while Poplar found Kenyon
harder to find than in the first game. and
we're able to secure but FIVE runs.
The game this afternoon was also of the
classy order. Smith again did the tossing
for Poplar. while Havre had PEPPER to do
its twirling The latter held the visitors
down to a row Of goose eggs until the ninth
inning. when an error in misiudging fly
after two we're out gave Poplar their lone
some run. Havre scored four during the
game. Manager Durbin has gotten team
together that is credit to the city. and
they are putting up hard. clean game.
