isolated TRACTS ACT.
CONGRESSMAN kINkAID GETS
RULING ON SUBJECT.
NEED NOT RESIDE ON TRACT

Purchasers Must OCCUPY" in the
Sense Of cuItivating, Grazing or
Using for Personal Benefit-specu.
lators Aimed at.
O'Neill, Neb., June 2S.-Special to
The News: In response to inquiry,
Congressman Kinkaid has just re-
ceived a letter from the Office of the
general land commissioner at Wash
ington stating that under the regula-
lions of the isolated tract act" the
requirement that the applicant state
that he Is DESTROYS of purchasing the
land for his own individual use and
occupation, is for the purpose of pre-
venting the acquisition of isolated
lands by spectators and that the
words actual occupation" do not mean
residence upon the land so purchased
but mean that the land shall be actual
ly used and occupied by applicant in
the sense that he cultivates, improves,
grazes or in some other manner uses
the land in good faith for his own per-
sonal benefit. Neither the law nor
the regulations, says the land COM
missioner's office, requires that the
purchaser of an isolated tract shall
reside thereupon.
Congressman Kinkaid secured the
enactment of the isolated tract act of
June 81, 1906, charging the isolated
tract of Nebraska from a quarter Sec
| ton to three quarters of a section.
| The congressman had received numer-
Gus inquiries from constituents re-
garding the operation of the law, when
1t should go into effect and what would
| be the rules and regulations. AS all
| of the land affected is in the Sixth
congressional district and as land of
fees in that district had received no
rules, the congressman wrote for in
structions. Land offices have now re.
ceived the necessary blanks and regu'
| lations.
The law was passed in the interest
of the homesteader first and of other
adjacent owners second. Spectators
are excluded because they do not de
sire to occupy or use the isolated
tracts.
The construction placed upon the
law is satisfactory to Congressman
Kinkaid, since the homesteader anC
adjacent land owners will now be able
to purchase isolated tracts without &C
tually residing thereon, and fencing
will be materially aided.
