An Important Ruling.~» A decision by the commissioner of the general lasd’ office was. re- ceived by the Duluth land office this week. It concerns the home- stead entry of William J. Kelly, of this vilage, for lands in section 30, 149 27. Kelly made entry May, 1901, and after ‘he expiration of the usual fourteen mouths ap- plied for commutation. Acco:ding to the commutation law, as in- terpreted by the secretary of the interior, settlérs have always been allowed six months constroection residence. They are not compelled to take up their residence on the land until the expiration: of six months after filing upon théland, the which has always been. con- sidered constructive residence. Eivht months actual -residence. on the land was all thut' was required before commutation was had ; The commissioner of the: general lind office refused Kelly permission to commute, on the ground that he had not lived tour een months on hiv homestead, and his proof ‘was turned down, and if this decisiun holds he will have to hie himself to the wilds and put in six months more time upon his land ere he can offer proof. According to ‘the Wuluth Heraid the decision was a surprise to the Duluth land office officials, as in that and other offices the constructive residence priviledge has always been recognized, Anent the devision Register Culkins says: “The decision may affect those setulers whu have not yet secured their patents, but it cannot affect those who have already communted their holdings and have secured ther patents. ‘These patents can- not be attacked except through. the law courts. If the decision of tae f commissioner holds good it will make a big difference in our manner of doing business. The privilege which :s withheld by the decision contained in this leiter has always heen recognizec in our office, and I think in other oftces throughout the country.” McCarthy ‘Talks For Himself.

Mr. Spooner of Bemidji, a good lawyer avd a very competent man, is one, and I understand that a Mr. Wright, of Hubbard county, and Fred Smith, of Cass Lake, are candi- dates.” GRAND CONCER t the Village Kall, — ‘SUNDAY Evening, March 8,190, FOR THE § | e} THE SCANDINAVIAN |
