| 8. Evidence that agents have regis
tered for soldiers.--In order that sol
diers, sailors, widows, orphans or
guardians. may have evidence that
their agents have actually registered
for them, all designated notaries be-
fore whom they must make oath will
be furnished with blank certificates
which they may use to low the fact
that the agent has sworn to mis- AFT
davit before them, and each agent
should ask his notary for certif-
cate Of the kind and at once mail it
to the person for whom he is acting.
9. False swearing.-Eacn applicant
will be required to swear that he Ia
qualified to make homestead entry
and that he honestly desires to en-
ter public lands for a home and for
settlement and cultivation and not
for speculation or rs an investment,
and that he presents his application
for that purpose only"
Any person who swears falsely to
his application will have his entry
Cancelled, all payments made by him
will be forfeited, and he may be pros
ecuted criminally.
All pcISOuS VIII nave cauy
as to their qualifications to register
and make homestead entry should
fully satisfy themselves by advising
with some well-informed person who
has read this letter before they incur
the expense of a trip to one Of the
registration points.
10. How applications are to be
mailed and presented.-The notaries
before whom applications are sworn
to will furnish each applicant with an
envelope with the name and address
of the superintendent of the drawing
printed thereon, and after they have
carefully examined the pplication
and found it correct in every
respect, they must enclose it in the
envelope which should then be care
fully sealed and placed in the mail
with either a two-cent or two one
cent postage stamps attached there
to. No applicant should place any
other paper in the envelope with his
application, and If he registers both
for himself and a soldier, he should
place his own application In one en-
velope, and his application. as agent
in another envelope. Soldiers dis
charge papers and citizen papers
should not be placed in the envelopes
with an application for registration
or In any other manner sent or
brought to the superintendent

dier.-Any person over sixteen years

gle, regardless of their qualifica-
tons to make homestead entry,
may act as agent in registering for
one soldier, sailor, widow, or their
minor orphan children, but no per-

to register by agent must select their
own agents. Soldiers discharge

OF this area about 124,314 acres are
embraced in sections 16 and So which
have been granted to the states for
school purposes, and allotments have
been made to about 5000 Indians.
Other portions have been reserved
for churches, schools and agency pur-
poses. and otherwise disposed of, and

1,500, 900 acres which will become
subject to entry. -
Commissioners appointed by the
president are now at work classify
ing the lands into agricultural land,
of the first class, agricultural land
