FINAL PROOF EXTENSIONS
Conditions Under Which Desert Land Entrymen May Be Given Addi-
 tional Time.

In a circulars issued to registers of land offices the Commissioner of the General Land Office says of the ex- tension of time for making final proofs on desert land entries:
 Under the provisions of the act of March 2S, 1908, the period of four years may be extended in the discre- ton of the commissioner for an ad- ditional period, not exceeding three years This rule applies if by reason of some unavoidable delay ill the con structing of irrigating works, intend ed to convey water to the land, the entryman is unable to make proof of reclamation and cultivation required within four years.
 This does not mean that the period within which proof can be made will be extended as a matter of course. The statute authorizes the commis- sioner to grant the extension in his dis erection. Applications will not be grant ed unless it be clearly shown that the failure to reclaim and cultivate the land within the regular period of four years was due to no fault on the part of the entryman.
 An entryman who desires to make application for this extension should file with the register and receiver an affidavit setting forth all the facts. showing how and why he was unable to make final proof of reclamation and cultivation within the required period This affidavit should be corroborated by two witnesses, who have personal knowledge of the facts. The register and receiver after carefully consider ing all the facts, will forward the application to the General Land Office with appropriate recommendations, h. asmuch as registers and receivers re- side in their respective districts, they are presumed to have more or less personal knowledge of the conditions existing there, and for that reason much weight will be given their re- commentators.

 Mrs. Griffith has had twenty years of experience in her work, and has studied the results of alcoholism from the highest to the lowest strata of society, and has done much rescue work.
