practically impossible TO prove up

sembles the strict ruling instituted
last year in 0regou, when the timber

closed.
Separate oders we're received for
special agents and for registers and
receivers. When an entryman gives
notice OF his intention 20 make fnal
proof the land ONCE 10 required TO
send the special agent notice IN all
instances where the claimant intends
making his Anal proof before any
commissioner or officer other than the
register aud receiver. II the special
agent Is not thoroughly satisfied that
the claim 10 bona ode one be must
be present at the examination.
The register aud receiver may &C.
cept final proofs under the new re.
eime without the presence Of the
special agent. or without notifying
him, but the strictest examination is
enjoined. with an admonition TO sum.
mon the special agent where any
doubt at all exists.
The ruling will work all kinds Of
havoc where claims are being held
without actual residence.
