Washington. April 19.-An order was is
sued today by Secretary Garfield. and an
other by Commissioner Ballinger of the

of Secretary Garfield provides that here

Tips From Washington.
The secretary saws it has come to his
notice that heretofore when lands have
been restored to the public domain, inter
ested parties have been notified by wire
from Washington on the day the order IS
issued. and persons have located upon
the more desirable portions of the re-
stored lands, thus obtaining en- advantage
over others.

ing the purchase from the government by
auction sale of ISOLATED tracts of land
For Homestead Only.
The commissioner believes this privilege
has been abused, particularly as one APP
pIicant now has pending thirty-eIght ap-
plicatiOns to purchase different isolated
tracts The order cancels all such pend
ing applications and makes further re-
oIiirenent that all applications hereafter
to have such tracts held at auction must
be accompanied with an atIidaNlt, stat
ing that the intending purchaser wishes
the land for homestead purposes and not
for speculation.
