Notice to Settlers.

The U. S. Surveyor General
for Idaho has issued the follow
ing circular to settlers on unsur-
veyed public lands, with the os-
tensible object of aiding them to
secure title to their claims.
Office of the U. S. Surveyor
General, Boise, Idaho, Novem-
Der 1, 1905.
To settlers upon unsurveyed
lands:
You are advised that the sur
vey Of public lands in Idaho can
be secured only by petitions, sup
ported by afidavits of residence,
from actual settlers thereon, sent
to this office for recommendation
to the honorable commissioner of
the general land office.
Examiners of surveys are then
detailed by the honorable com.
missioner to investigate said
petitions for the purpose of in
suring that appropriations for
public surveys made by Congress
shall not be naisapplied, but shall
be used for the benefit of actual
settlers.
When there are several unsur-
veyed full or fractional town
ships in any locality and the
seutlers desire q survey, petitions
should be filed for all such town
ships, as q contract can be let
more readily and economically
for the survey of several adjoin-
ing townships than for isolated
ones. Moreover, the completion
of survey is thus secured to the
settler at the earliest possible
date.
Surveys of public lands can be
made without cost to the settlers
and all inquiries regarding such
matters will receive prompt at
tention. Blank petitions and af-
fidavits will be furnished by this
Office upon request.
Very respectfully,
ERN @. EAGLESON,
