entryman to patent is not defeated
) by the alienation Of all or a part OF
the land embraced in his entry at
ter the submission of final proof and
prior to patent, provided the proof
y submitted is satisfactory. Such an
i alienation is, however, at the risk
of the entryman Tor if the reviewing
officers of the land department sub
seGuently find the final proof so UNI
satisfactory that it must be wholly
rejected and new proof required, the
entryman can not then truthfully
quired by section 2291, Revised
Statutes, and his entry must in con-
sequence be Cancelled. The purchas-
err takes no better title than the en-
tryman had, and if the entry is can
celed purchasers title must neces-
sarily fail.
As. ACCOMPLISHMENTS home
stead entryman, or in case OF MS
death. his statutory successor, as ex-
planned in paragraph %, may file il
written REIMBURSEMENT of his entry,
and on the filing of such relinquish-
ment in the local land office the land
NINE m
covered by the entry becomes at
once subject to entry by the first
qualified applicant,
ACCOMPLISHMENTS run to the Uunt-
ed States alone, and no person OBJ
tains any ri ght to the land by the
mere purchase Of REIMBURSEMENT
or a filing or entry.
Entries made for the purpose Of
holding the land for speculation ana
sale Of the ACCOMPLISHMENTS are lille
gal and fraudulent. Every effort will
be made to prevent such frauds and
to detect and punish the perpetrat-
Ors.
Purchasers of ACCOMPLISHMENTS OF
fraudulent filings or entries should
understand that they purchase at
their own risk so far as the United
States is concerned, and they must
seek their own remedies under local
laws against those who by imposing
such accomplishments upon them
have obtained their money without
valuable consideration.
ENLARGED HOMESTEAD ENTRIES
46.-Kind of Land Subject to En-
try.-The first section Of the act Of
February 10, 1909 (35 Stat. $50;
see Appendix No. Is, provides for
the making of homestead entries for
an area of 800 acres, or less, of non
mineral, nontimbered. nonirrigable
public lands in the States of Colo
RADIO, Montana, Nevada, Oregon,
Utah, Washington, Wyoming, and in
the Territories of Arizona and New
Meico. BY the first section of the
act approved June II. 1910, the
same kind of entries are allowed to
be made in the State of Idaho.
The terms "arid" or "nonirriga-
ble'' land, as used in these acts, are
construed to mean land which, as a
rule, lacks sufficient rainfall to pro-
duce agricultural crops without the
necessity of resorting to unusual
methods of cultivation, such as the
system commonly known as "dry
farming" and for which there is no
known source of water supply from
which such land may be SUCCESSFULLY
irrigated at a reasonable cost.
Therefore lands containing mer-
charitable timber, mineral lands, and
lands within a reclamation project,
or lands which may be irrigated at
reasonable cost from any known
source of water supply may not be
entered under these acts. Minor
portions of a legal subdivision sus
ceptible of irrigation from natural
sources, as, for instance, spring,
Viii not exclude such subdivision
from entry under these acts, pro-
vided, however, that no one entry
shall embrace in the aggregate more
than 40 acres of such irrigable lands.
47.--Designation Of lands.-From
time to time lists designating the
lands which are subject to entry I'M
der these acts are sent to the reg,
listers and receivers in the States at
fected, and they are instructed i'm
mediately upon tie receipt of such
lists to note the same upon their
tract books. Until such lists have
been received by them no application
to enter can be received and no en-
tries allowed under these acts, but
after the receipt of such lists it is
competent for them to dispose of
for land embraced there
in under the provisions of these acts
in like manner os other other appli-
cations for public lands.
The fact that lands have been de-
