localities: All lands west Of the first guide

pended upon I'll timber culture entries under
tho oct IF June 8, 1873, which have not already
been examined; also In al cases Of desert land
entrieA
There have been good many charges Of
fraud made 1t Washington and throughout the
Minnesota had ito share thereof during the
past two or three years, - al will remember.
Corporations and private syntlicates have boon
charged with hiring men to make presumption
entries and then transfer their claims to tho
NV4OAA0AOOA0
and tho government and honest settlers
defrauded TO prevent further fraud
Of this nature is presumably the OBJ
}eot Of tho order: Ito effect will be
to prevent final proving up on all pre-emp-
ton, homestead and timber culture sntriss-in
fact on all entries on public land except where
land has been offered for sale, in which latter
case ono may purchase by private cash sales,
but only in this manner. Scrip locations arc
also excepted The object is probably to a.
low tho commission to investigate the numer-
Gus charges Of fraud and refuse to allow'inal
proving up in cases where fraudulent intent 10
evident 1t can work no hardship to
the actual settler, - it will only defer his time
for final proving up, and it is not likely that
the government will throw any hintlrancs IN
the way Of one who is proved ID be On actual
settler. The order affects but little land in Min
nesota, only that between tho eighth and tenth
