LEAGUE COUNTIES
WILL ABIDE WITH
u" LANCER OPINION
No Convention Called in Ransom
and Ramsey-Time for Nom
nations Short

Fargo, n. D., May lin two coun
ties, Ransom and Ramsey, the repub
lican county committees have failed
to call county conventions to name
delegates to the district convention
that will be held in Grand Forks on
June 90, for the purpose OF naming
the party candidate for congress TO
succeed the late H. T. llelgesen.
In both counties, according to l..
L. Twichell. Fargo, secretary OF the
district congressional committee,
mass conventions will be held for
the purpose Of naming the delegates.
Non-partisans control the commit
tees in the counties that have failed
to acts
No Time Limit Fixed.
Attorneys who have investigated
the laws governing the holding OF a
special election, find that there is no
provision as to the time that petit
lions or nominations must be filed
with the secretary of state. Under
the general statute, a ;O-day period
is required, but there is an express
provision that eXempts nspecialf cleo
tons from that requirement. r'..~
Hence, attorneys in Fargo are
agreed Ithe secretary Of state will be
obliged to receive nominations up to
a reasonable period prior to the
election, and the reasonable period
will be governed, they hold, by the
time that is required to certify the
nominations to the various counties,
and permit the ballots to be printed
and distributed to the polling places.
Will Abide by Opinion.
Thomas Hall, secretary Of state, in
a statement given out at Bismarck,
Tuesday, declares his intention OF
abiding by the opinion OF the attor-

Making a Home

It looked like a bad venture when
Henry Saari of st. Louis county filed
on his homestead seven miles south
of Ely nearly a score of years ago,
says the Northwest Farmstead.
Stumps, stones, trees and brush COW
cred every foot of the 16O acres, which
was in a wilderness through which
there was no road nor even trail.
The household effects and supplies
were hauled to the homestead along
a frozen lake and over swamps in the
winter. The family left in March,
1898, for their new home in the woods,
and neighbors even wept when they
talked Of the starvation and hard
ships they thought the settlers would
meet. Hunger will chase you back
to civilization in short time" were
the farewell words to the venturers.
But Henry Saari went to his claim.
He took with him his wife and six
children. He was almost crippled with
rheumatism. Many hardships were
experienced in the beginning, but he
and his family were determined to
make themselves home; and they
did. About thirty acres Of land has
been cleared and large eight room
house has been built. Two horses,
10 mich cows, chickens and other
stock are kept on the farm. Several
hundred dollars worth of machinery
and other property are now used in
running the farm. The children have
been educated; one son will be grad
uated from the Minnesota college of
agriculture next spring.
1t has been 10 years of hard work
to make this home in the stumps of
Northern Minnesota. To get some
land open for the first potato patch
was the first task Mr.. Saari had to
perform. He succeeded in getting the
trees and stumps out by grubbing
around them and cutting the roots.
About one-half acre was cleared and
planted to potatoes the first spring.
All the work was done by hand, and
when the first plants came up they
were given Individual attention. A
favorable season and the virgin soil
made them grow so that approx
mately 200 bushels of good potatoes
were dug the first fall.
AS wild hay was plentiful in the
natural meadows along the lake shore
near which the farmhouse was built,
Mr.. Saari was successful in getting
enough forage for the two cows which
he had brought with him. With the
help Of the oldest son, who was nine
years old then, Mr.. Saari made enough
hay to feed his cattle over the win
ter. The grain, however, had to be
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1917-04-20

and trees from their lands are the
problems the farmers must solve, they
say. Cooperation, they find, is one of
the most important ways of solving
these problems. Settlement in groups
to make this possible has been found
necessary.
Many of the persons who predicted
that starvation and other difficulties
would drive Henry Saari back to town
from his homestead have long since
admitted that they were mistaken.
They themselves have filed on land,
either in the immediate neighborhood,
or even many miles farther in the
woods. They, too, have made homes
