ANOTHER SLAP AT
THE HOMESTEADER
Col. Lounsberry in His Weekly letter to
the Fargo Forum Tells of the Latest
Mode of Holding Up and Mak
ing Trouble for the
Homesteader.
Washington, D. C., Aug. 22.—
To The Forum: It has been de
cided to allow homestead entries
to be made in the alleged coal
districts, subject, however, o
the withdrawal. If it appears
before proof is made or at any
time before patent is issued that
there is no underlying coal, then
the unrestricted patent will issue
even though the entry was made
subject to the withdrawal. In
all of the suspended entries in
North Dakota notice has been
sent to the respective district
offices to call upon the en try men
to file a coal election, if they wish
to avoid delay, and when these
are received the cases will re
ceive immediate attention. It
has been decided not to await
classification in cases where an
election has been filed, but to
proceed to consider the case at
once. No person will have the
right to enter upon any of the
land covered by these restricted
patents to prospect or mine coal
and remove the same therefrom,
without the previous consent of
the owner under such patents,
except upon such conditions as
to security for and payment of
all damages to such owner caused
thereby as may be determined by
a competent court. Provided al
so, that the owner under such
patent shall have the right to
mine the coal for use on the land
for domestic purposes prior to
the disposal by the United States
of the coal deposited.

entitled to an unrestricted patent
unless it is shown that the land
is chiefly valuable for coal. So
that anyone who cares to make
the fight, where he has had this
hearing, he is in good shape to
do it, but if there is no coal the
reservation means nothing and
the settler had better take it than
to bother about it. If he has a
good coal mine the man who
wants it will pay roundly for the
land rather than trust o the
courts to assess damages.

told Mr. Norton that there were
no s ates having congressmen
who were taking care of the in
terests of their constituents better
than North and South Dakota
congressmen. When the office was
not looking after the interests of
South Dakota people at the re
quest of Chas. H. Burke or other
members of congress from South
Dakota, it was looking after the
interests of North Dakota at the
request of Mr. Hanna or other
members from that state that
they knew how to get the infor
mation desired and usually got
what they wanted.
After the North and South Da
kota delegations visited the gen
eral land office every available
clerk was put to work to get out
the proper notices to the entrymen
as to their rights under the coal
land withdrawal, and I do not
think there will now be any seri
ous interruptions in the landoffice
business. It is now up to the
entrymen to accept the coal re
servation and up to the loan com
panies and the banks to accept
the security.
Governor Vessey was here from
South Dakota in connection with
the coal withdrawal matter, and
Secretary of State-elect Norton
on behalf of North Dakota. The
several congressmen had also
been heard from. There is noth
ing like adding fuel and stirring
things when you want action.
The Dakotas know how to get
action. When Mr. Roosevelt was
president it was an easy matter
to get a modification of the coal
withdrawal. He knew, from per-

sonal observation what could be
done with North Dakota coal and
what could not. The present ad
ministration did not have the same

Sam Dimond, the obstreperous
Sam, in a recent talk with The
Tribune, informed us that a num
ber of the opulent farmers out in
the hills country are figuring on
purchase of automobiles, "and
then," said Sam, "won't we have
spme fun chasing the fleet-footed
jack rabbits, the which are be
coming quite thick out in the
hills country." Sam went on to
say that out on the plains of Ari
zona and New Mexico farmers
and ranchmen are having a lot
of sport with their autos in run
ning down jacks, "and I am here
to tell you, from what I can learn
by reading the accounts, that it
is just the acme of sport. A
jack rabbit, you know, "continued
Sam, 'can beat any living animal
running except a greyhound. No
horse can keep up with one for
more than a few rods, and right
here is where the hunter who
has an auto gets in his work.
He gets out in his car and gives
brother rabbit a chase over the
mesquite covered land that can
only end in one way. The fleet
footed animal runs at a 40-mile
an-hour gait, but the pursuer
in the machine can do better
than that and finally the panting
quadruped tires and falls under
the wheels of the relentless en
emy. I have read that as many
as a dozen yield up their lives in
this way in the course of an hour's
hunt. No, I have not closed a
deal for my car yet, but I am in
communication with several of
the most prominent manufactur
ers, and when I decide you will
see something better than any
thing now in use in this part of
the country—and may God help
the long-eared varmints."

blew down and destroyed the

the farm a few miles north of

The wheat on the farm of Miss
Clara Park, eight miles north of
the city, threshed out seven and
a half bushels to the acre, just a
half bushel less than Miss Park
predicted while talking to The
Tribune on this subject several
weeks ago.
K. C. Knutson has about made
up his mind that there's more
money in something else than
wheat for the farmers of this
country, and as Knute has thus
concluded, we'll place a bet that
he'll find just what that more
money is in and set a pace for
some of his wheat-growing na
bors.

Joe Bell was in from Woburn
a few days ago and reported at
The Tribune office that trade is
good with his business, as in all
other branches, in the new town,
and that several new buildings
are now in process of construc
tion there, the principal induce
ment for the boom now on being
the very good prospect that Wo
burn has for landing the per
manent county seat. Joe says
the people of his town are not
saying much, but they keep saw
ing wood, all the same, and they'll
be heard from in no uncertain
manner when the proper time
arrives.
