Duluth. Special:-The land officers here re-
cciyed from Commissioner Mcfarland, OF the
general land office, a decision on the question
whether a pre-emptor can mortgage or sell his
pre-emption, after final proof has been made,
Ia a partv for a money advance, being unable
to make improvements or payments omit Inc
csso is that of Michael Sobiesky and Frederick
Engel. who entered a presumption here ana
rorr;el ont the requirements of the
law regarding settlement and improve
mruts When proof was offered IL was
shawn by the agent, W.. II. Marshall, that the
claimants had agreed to mortgage the land al
ter proof to Michael Fink, to secure the pay
mpnt of money advanced for supplies and i'm
formation furnished them. The land officers
here. Sept -, 1888, on this showing rejected
The proofs and claims, on the ground that pre-
cmutors did not take the land in question for
their own exclusive use and benefit, The case
was appealed, and the following decision, over
ruling that of the local land officers, has been
gwen: ,
There being no other objection to proof
than agreement for mortgages, the question to
be determined is their effect ON homestead en-
tries. In that regard You are informed 1t was
ruled by the honorable secretary Of the interior
In the case of Larson, vs.. Weisenecker, lnvoly-
ing a presumption entry, (Cobbs L. y. vol. y,
page GO that a mortgage issued by a pre-emp-
hon entry-man pror to final proof, to secure
money loaned him to pay the government price
Of land, is not such a conveyance for agree
mcnt rs will invalidate his entry under the law.
BY analogy the same principle applies to the
case of commuted homestead entries, and it is
immaterial as e~ffecting entries that a part of
the money borrowed is applied in a manner to
enable the claimant to comply with
the requirement of the law, and for the better
ment of the claim, as well as pay the govern
ment price for the land. Therefore, the proof
of the question submitted in support of the re-
spective applications to commute should be
accepted and final certificates issued thereon,
and the same is herewith returned.
The decision is very interesting for all pine
land regions, as a great amount Of loaning
money by pre-emptors is done, and this decis-
Jon virtually overrules a great many decisions
by officers here and elsewhere and puts new
light on the matter. Under the regime of Ex-
GOV. Marshall as government agent here, he
was continually looking after just such cases
