on additional Entries"

Washington, Aug. 1O.-Assistant Attor-
ney General Van Deventer of the inter
for department has prepared, and Acting
Secretary Ryan today approved, decis-
ion which viii be of considerable inter-
est TO public land states.
Section 8 of the act Of March ., 1889,
authorized those who had partially exer-
cised their homestead privilege to make
an additional entry of public land, so as
10 make a full quota of 100 acres. Here
tofore this section has been construed as

says that ii was the evident intention of
congress 10 provide a means whereby
every homesteader might acquire the
title 70 100 acres of land, notwithstand-
ing a partial exercise Of the homestead
