A settler is one who attaches himself
to piece OF public land by such un-
cquivocal act as shows his intent to
make his home there and to acquire
title under the settlement laws. y
resident is one who in compliance
with the settlement laws is residing
upon public land. Until such acts
have been performed as show une-
quivocably that an entryman intends
to make his home upon the land, he
is neither a settler nor a resident.

character OF reclamation. but simply
provides that an expenditure OF three
dollars per acre must be shown, and
one-eighth OF the land embraced in
