TOO MUCH RED TAPE.
The general land office of the
"United States has made a decided
mistake according to the general
belief of the people in this sec
tion of the country, in making the
conditions of homesteading
harder than ever before. The
ruling which compels the inves
tigation of each final entry made
ontside of the district land office
by the special agent, will work
hardship to many settlers. The
result will be that the special
agent will be unable to take
care -of his work and it will get
two or three years behind. The
settler will become discouraged
with this condition of affairs and
be compelled to go to the district
land office. In this district, for
instance, this will work a great
hardship. If a settler at War
road .wishes to make.final prool
it will cost him $100 for car fare
and hotel expense for himself
and witnesses. If we are not
mistaken not the people of the
northwest will raise such a pro
test that it will be heard even in
Washington.Crookston Times.
THE DESERTED CLAIM SHANTY.
Deserted, neglected, a hope
less wreck, the old cabin stands.
Ohostly it stands, an unburied
corpse, an untuned instrument,
a withered witness of the fron
tier's wasted days. The win
dows glare with sightless eyes,
and the doorway yawns with
toothless mouth.
Winter, wi'tli its shroud of
snow upon the skeleton trees
and the evergreens, is more in
harmony with the old "shack"
than any other season.
When spring brings the wild
geese on their northward wing,
the old hut knows the tall, lean
willows soon will grow green
with life again, the wild cucum
ber vine will blossom gay once
more, and the saucy cowslip will
parade to shame the staid
solemnity of the cabin they sur
round.
The shrubs in flirting with the
wind and the bees in courting
the flowers of the summer time
will rob it of its dignified serious
ness. They are too young, too
thoughtless to sooth its shat
tered soul. It better likes the
silent night which throws the
willow shadows long across the
sobbing brook, and calls the owl
to hoot its solemn prophesy.
Autumn turns the tamarack to
yellow hues and makes the maple
towQr high in burnished gold.
The monotone sung by the wind
among the gloomy pine does
voice the lingering sadness of
the house, revives its cracking
memories.
Winter, with its snow that
calms the air and the woods that
hush the winds, signifies rest
and peace. And this is the mood
of the desolated old claim cabin.
