Disappointment in Store for Civil
War Veterans


Olympia, Dec. 31.-Scores of civil
war veterans, who have located on
320-acre homesteads authorized I'M
der the new double area law, will
probably be much disappointed to
learn that an unofficial opinion re-
ceived here today by John Lawrence
holds that the old oilers homestead
law giving credit for service against
residence on the claim does not apply
to the new entries.
Under the old 160-acre homestead
law soldier who had, say, two years
service would be given equal credit
for residence on a claim, and could
therefore prove up after three years.
The new double homestead law
makes provision for certain cultiva-
ton each of the five years.
Mr.. Lawrence was formerly a land
Office omoidl and took the question
up with the Washington officials on
behalf of some soldier entrymen. He
has asked Senator Piles to introduce
a bill to amend the law to give the
veterans credit for service time on
the new claims.
