LAND ENTRIRs.--The new ruling
of the Land Office department con.
cerning the making of homestead
entries before cou nty auditors
seems to be misunderstood by many
of our readers. 1t provides that in
cases where the parties are remote
from the land Office, they may make
their entries before the county audi
tors of their respective counties.
This applies to all of the counties
on the Sound north of King county,
but not to this county, as it is not
considered sufficiently remote from
Olympia to make a journey to the
land office a hardship. Final proof
may be made in this and other coun
ties before the auditor, the probate
Judge, or the clerk of the district
court.
