General Land Office both dismis-

the homestead, and he erected
valuable Improvements thereon,
the charge Of nol-residence was
not proven. But on appeal the
Honorable First Assistant Secre-
tary held on February 10, 1909,
that since the husband was sta
toned in Seattle and made brief
visits to the land, and in the light
Of other facts, the only conclu
sion that can be reasonably drawn
is that the entryman did not
make his entry for the purpose
of establishing and maintaining
a home for himself and family,
but for the purpose of acquiring
title to it for sale and speculation
as timber land. Accordingly
both decisions below were re-
versed and the entry held for
cancellation.
Thus the docrine that a home
steader can maintain residence
on his claim by merely keeping
his family ther on has been ma
terialy modified.

contest for abandonment would
not lie until the expiration Of six
months after said three months.
1t was also held that though
the entryman failed to demur to
a contest brought sooner, and
went to trial, the question of

TO WHOM 1T MAY CONCERN:

AS the Idaho Republican has seen
fit to criticise myself and the city
council through the columns of said
paper, l think it best that the facts
leading to said critism may be
known. In the first place the row
Of trees on the east side of University
avenue, in front of Mrs. Killingsworth s
property were standing about twelve
feet from the property line in the
street An easement had been granted.
The trees were in the way of laying
the walk to be constructed. The ques-
ton of removing said trees came up
between Mrs. Nina Killingsworth here
in Blackfoot and myself. said to
her that sometimes trees had been re-
moved for the wood that was in them,
and if she had no one to take them
out (nOr did she), nor care for the
wood l might help to get some one to
remove them for the wood. After try
ing several parties, also telling the
chief Of police to get them moved fer
the wood in them if he could. In this
neither of us were successful. The
side walk contractor, Mr.. Taylor, want
ed the trees removed so that the side
walk might be laid. After consider
able delay the chief of police put
some men to work on them. After they
were down in the street l took my
team and help haul the logs on the
back Of some lots belonging to myself
and DR.. Hoover, nearby, in Emwood
addition. The brush and stumps were
taken just outside of the limits where
they could be safely burned, when dry,
and where other brush had been placed
for that purpose. Those logs are not
my private property as Mr.. Trego in
fers. The council knew the first of
May where they were and just what
had beeen done before the bills were
allowed for taking them out. No bill
was presented for the hauling of them
off. Mr.. Trego it seems, would have
you believe that the Individual must
remove trees in the street by their
property, whether they want to or not.
Mrs. Killingsworth sertainly could have
removed said trees and had them,
in fact it has been the custom to have
individuals remove any obstruction fro1
sidewalk lines adjacent to their proper
ty. The trees in uuetsiOn were out
side of the sidewalk line, and l did not
feel like trying to force widow wo-
man to remove them. l only wish the
facts to be known. These trees are
at the present time on the lots REFER d
to in the foregoing, and have not
been appropriated to my use.
