HERMAN SPRINGS SURPRISE, New Ruling is Made For Prospective Home- steaders. The local land office is in receipt of &@ communication from Binger Her- Man, commissioner of the general land officeat Washington, which wil! have a very decided effect upon Unit- ed States court commissioner in var- ious portions of the state in the way of cutting down their revenue and at the same time work a disadvantage to future homesteaders. Says the Duluth News Tribune, The following is the ommunica- tion in question and explains itself: “General Land Office, Washington, D.C., July 22, 1901. Gentlemea:— March 30, 1901, you allowed Thomas Olson to make H. E. No. 13, 714 for the net sed, s¢ net and lot 2 section 7 township 152, north range 28 west. “The land in Itasca county and the affidavit was made before Frank Ives U.S. Commissioner at Cass Lake. The law requires this affidavit to be made before a proper officer in the .county in which the land is situated, You will allow Olson 60 days from notice in which to furnish a proper homestead affidavit or to appeal here- from, and should he fail to take act- ion within the time specified, his entry which is héreby held for cancelation, will be cancelled without further notice to him from this office. Very respectfully. Binger Herman, Com- missioner General Land Office.” Tbe ruling of the commissioner proved something of asuprise at the local office for the reason that hun- dreds of affidavits of similar charact- er have been honored heretofore and ere have been received for the jand.

A Washington dispatch states that Land Commissioner Hermann has been petitioned by several settlers apd homesteaders to reoerse r ruling recently made by the local land office at Crookston, Minn., relative to lands that have been restored to entry un- der an act approved June 3, 1896. This was an act for the relief of settlers who had taken up lands which were afterwards decided as be- longing to the Northern Pacific Rail- road company in indemnity selec- tions. ‘The Crookston Register and receiv- er are requiring those settlers who have rights to take up lands on the Red Lake reservation to advertise for six weeks giving notice of their entry, etc.. the same as used to be done many years ago when svoners and squatters were more plentiful than they are now. The settlers demur over this action. They say in their communication, which has just been filed, that it works a hardship upon them. They must first prove up their old claim and have a case well made out, by showing what they did upon their original entry, which was afterwards HENRY “HUGHES & CO. the milk and cream cannot be kept Cattle—Type and Economic Place on Our cool.

Wilhelmina, the young queen of Hol- land, is very pretty, though her beauty threatens in future years to run on somewhat massive lines. Her admiring subjects gaze at her, and then murmur to an acquiescent neighborhood, “Isn't she pretty?” The young queen has fine eyes, a While we may look forward to the time when co-operative cream- eries will be found in nearly every locality in Northeastern Minnesota, yet this must come slowly and after{ many years of development. Un- til a locality becomes comparatively thickly settled, the number of cows large, and the roads sufficiently good to permit hauling four or five miles in all kinds of weather, a co-operative creamery isnot a safe experiment.

This Httle incident set: all tongues wagging. It was exaggerated and commented upon all over Holland with an anxiety only abated by the dis- covery that the queen's partner in the dance had been her uncle, her moth- er’s brother, the Prince of Waldeck- Pyrmont. This relative and his wife, who are both still young, are the only people with whom Wilhelmina really fraternizes in a natural jolly way. She has no friends of her own age, and in Holland the royal family is limited to a very small circle. The two or three princes and princesses available are middle-aged, dowdy, and dul], Yet Wilhelmina obviously enjoys ker “splendid fsloation.” She gave every- one to understand, on her. accession, that she liked independence, and in- — to preserve {t as long as pos- 8 region for producing wild and tame hay, and corn fodder, makes cattle raising one of the most important features of farm economy.
