The. much mooted question involved
in the granting Of benefits intendt d
by the act Of june 18th, 1850, which
refers specially to the right Of all per-
sous who had taken homestead prior
to June 1880, has at last been decided
by the Department in that the home
steader can, il he so desires, make
proof by the payment Of Sl.25 per
acre in cash or by Special Deposit
Certificates at his option, at the
same rates less the amount of fees
which had been paid at the date of
entry. Il is also further decided that
all homesteads taken prior to the date
of above act, whether settled upon
now or not, abandoned as well as
homesteads actually resided upon, can
now be paid at Sl.25 per acre less the
fees paid at date OF entry as above
stated. This decision virtually leaves
the homesteader in position 70 buy the
homestead, even if he las abandoned
it, and no further settlement is re-
quired. Applying only to the advan-
tage of those whose claims were taken
subsequent need not expect or attempt
to take advantage Of it. Great com
plant has been occasioned by this
recent decision, and it is possible an
attempt may be made to have the
act repealed thereby depriVing all
those who have neglected in having
their homesteads paid for before ot
the benefits intended by this act, and
which repeal if possible can only be
taken advantage Of by an immediate
proof on all the homesteads possible.
