deed is null and void in toto for the
reason, among others, that she never
acknowledged the execution of such
deed. She failed to allege or prove the
claimed as a homestead, or that the
various lots are contiguous,

deed under the circumstances disclos-

affects the homestead as limited and
defined by the statute.
3. Under section 5052 r. c. 1905,
it is just as essential that the deed
conveying the homestead be acknowl-

both execution and acknowledgment
the homestead is not conveyed.

RAIL OFFICIALS
VISIT BEACH, N. D.

Beach, N. D., April 23.-Citizens of
Beach are feeling optimistic over the
prospects Of the construction of
branch lines since the visit by Presi-
dent Hannaford, Vice President Slade
and other officials of the Northern Pa
cific. The officials later took autos
from here and spent a day in the ter
ritory through which surveys have
been made by the company. Data was
secured as to the cultivated land along
the surveys upon which to estimate
the business for a road. 1t is expected
the lire, when constructed will extend
to Baker, Mont, on the Milwaukee.
President Hannaford announced that
difficulty in securing funds for railway
extension work was causing delay in
the construction of the line. No So
licitations OF subscriptions will be
make, but the road will expect the
farmers along the route to donate the
right-of-way.
President Hannaford denounced the
rumors that an agreement had been
reached by the Milwaukee and the
Northern Pacific roads not to invade
each others territory and pointed out
that the best refutation Of the story
was the fact that the Milwaukee had
already parallfaed the Northern Paci-
fc for 400 miles.
The electric road project for the
country south of here is still incubat-
ing, though the farmers are not elat-
ed over the proposed subscriptions
they will be asked to make. Not only
are they expected to donate the right
of-way, but also to subscribe at the
rate Of 81 an acre for all lands with
in three miles of the road, Is cents an
| acre 70: lands from three to five miles
and SO cents an acre for land from FIVE
to eight miles away. The farmers are
not particularly enthusiastic, fearing
that after the electric line is built the
Northern Pacific may build through
practically the same territory. The
little demand.

WAR ON MIGRANTS
AT MAGIC CITY

Minot. N. D., April 23.-The war on
Migrants is still progressing merrily and
most Of the undesirable element in this
city has had notice to leave and leave
quick. A regular pilgrimage is TAX
ing place among many of the old time
gamblers and Migrants who have ex-
listed parasitically for some time in
this city. Every rain takes out a few
more, many going west into Montana,
toward greener fields. The efficient
work Of the new police chief and his
men is being widely remarked.

GREAT NORTHERN HAS
RESUMED GRADING WORK

Arnegard, N. D.. April 23.-The
grading work On the Great Northern
was resumed this morning. The rough
grading was done to Watford last fall
but the steel was only laid to this
point. The grading will be completed
and the steel laid into Watford during
May. Watford Will remain the ter
minal Of the Great Northern for some
time as the proposed survey between
Watford and New Rockford has been
abandoned and the Missouri will be
crosSed at some point farther south.
Riley and Guthrie have charge of the
grading work between here and Wat
ford. That town Is expected to be a
prominent shipping Joint and there is
a rush for lot sales. Watford will also
seek the county seat, though Arnegard,
Alexander and other towns win make
an effort to secure the seat of govern
ment.

SURVEYORS WORKING
ON Line NEAR WILDROSE

Northern surveyors are reported to
have been working in this section
and there are renewed rumors ofa$he
extension of this branch, as wefT@as
that of the Crosby line to some west
ern edge of the county. The survey
ors are reported working west Of this
place. Should this branch be extend
ed southwest and a. new terminal Gre
atel it might be connected with Willis

has even been speculation about run
ming this line to the western edge Of
the county, then south to connect with
the main line at Williston and making

ELECTRIC Line May
BE PUT THROUGH

Ray, N. D.. April 23.-Considerable
progress Is being made by the farmers
Of Williams county in their effort to
get an electric loop along the irrigated
sections. It has been figured out that
ninety miles of electric road would
serve the people in a most satisfacto-
ny manner. With the central power
located in the Ignite coal bed, power
could be cheaply generated. The sec
ton Of country along the irrigated belt
is we'll organized into farmers clubs
and through these 1t is proposed to or
ganize and promote the electric rail-
way. This line will take in a large part
of Williams and the southwestern cor
ner Of Divide counties. 1t will bring
the products Of hundreds Of farmers
closer to market and greatly assist In
the development Of this part Of North
