Land Office Decision Arouses the Home.
steaders.


That homesteaders committing under
the two year plan cannot absent them
selves from their claim and must show
Substantially continuous residence"
during the full period, is the holding of
the general land Office at Washington.
Without defining in detail just what is
meant by the phrase Substantially con-
tinuous," the commissioner sustains the
decision of the local register and receiv-
er, who rejected the proof of Maxwell
F. Farley.
Farley asserted that his absence from
his homestead was unavoidable and fur
nished proof, but the commissioners held
that inasmuch as he was absent four and
half months this was not substantially
continuous and that moreover the claim
ant was not altogether upon the land
more than 1211s months.
The decision is of great interest to
homesteaders and the query is raised
whether the absence of even one day
will be construed as not substantially
continuous residence. Rapid City

ton that the senate would segreg ate
