A NEW LAND
OFFICE RULE
ey His Letter of January 18th, 1904
the Secretary Of Interior Makes
an Important Change.
LIBERAL TO The eNTRYMAN
After Having COMMITTED One Home'
stead and Assigned a Desert He
Can Enter Anoter Homestead.

Register Edward Brassey and Re
ceiyer l.. w. Eldridge have received
from the assistant commissioner Oh
public lands a late ruling of Secretary
Of the interior Hitchcock relating to
the filing of a second homestead ent-
~ aftetr one homestead has been
committed and one desert entry has
been filed and assigned, Under the
ruling. the third entry is permissible
and, barring no other irregularity,
the claim will stand.
The change of procedure was
brought TO the notice OF the local
land officials by the reversal by the
assistant commissioner of a decision
recently made here. SOME time g a
man who had committed II home
stead. then filed upon and assigned a
desert entry. made application before
the register and receiver in this dist
riot for the right to enter upon q sec,
nnd homestead. The application was
refused on the ground that his entry
upon the desert claim had given him
title TO that additional 100 acres OF
land which, with the 100 acres in the
committed homestead, made 800 acres
of public land to which he had sccur'
ed title and had thereby used all OF
the rights which he had under the
public land laws. The decision was
based upon the rule then in force that
the prospective entryman must make
the following affidavit before making
All entry.
THAT since August 80. 1890. | have
not entered under the land laws oil
the United States or filed upon a
quantity of land agricultural in char
acter and not mineral. which with the
tracts now applied for. would make
more than 800 acres" The refusal
of the register and receiver to grant
the application for the entry was up
held by the commissioner.
Lately another case exactly similar
came before the office at this place
and. acting upon their former rulinl
Nhlih was Suotdih'hs h'bioNtl blas
sey and Receiver Eldridge again re
fused the application. This decision
was reversed by the general land Of
flee and the new form OF the affiday
il required by the prospective entry
man transmitted and is in part a,
follows:
since August 1890, I have no
lcquired title TO nor am | now claim
ing under any of the agricultural lane
laws an amount of land which. 10
gether with the land now applied for
will exceed in the aggregate 32'
acres" The later rule is in accord
ance with a letter of the secretary o.
the interior of January 10, 1904. The
only difference is that under the OLE
rule. a mere entry upon go acres o
land exhausted the entryman's rights
under the land laws; while under TIL
new ruling. he must have acquired
title 10 800 acres of land and that
q entry to a desert claim which
was later assigned is not held as &C
curing title.
