APRIL DIGEST OF IMPORT
ANT PUBLIC LAND DECISIONS

1t is the established practice of the
department to issue patent TO the
heirs generally of deceased entry
man, If there be no widow, or minor
children entitled to claim under sec
ton 2292 R. S. Or if it be shown in
the record prior to issue of patent
that the entryman has made a will
purporting to devise his interest in
the entry, then the patent is issued to
the heirs or devisees of the deceased
entryman when there is no widow, or
minor children to claim under sec
tion 2292 R. S. 1t is left to the 10.
cal courts to determine in such cases
who the heirs are and what their in
dividual interests may be.
Upon the death of an entryman
leaving no widow, his heirs have the
right to make additional homestead
entry under the provisions of section
3 of the enlarged homestead act"
Citing Alice C. st. John (3S L. D..
SID, and Lille E. Sterling $50 l..
D., 346).
The term entry means that act by
which an individual acquires an in
ceptive right to a portion of the un-
appropriated soil of the country by
filing his claim in the land office. 1t
is that record in the land office which
reserves land from other appropria-
ton.
1t is the land office record which is
In effect an executory contract be-
tween the entryman and the govern
ment that it will convey the land to
him when he shall have performed
the acts and done the things that
the law requires in that particular
mode of entry
1t is then at an end, existing only
until, and no longer than, the incep-
tive right becomes consummate and a
patent issues or other evidence of
passing title. The entry merges into
patent or other evidence of title.
BY a final decree of cancellation of
patent, land once patented becomes
part of the public domain, subject to
settlement like unurveyed or survey
ed public lands, if unappropriated, but
does not become subject to entry until
opened to entry by the general land
office.
vince tkere is a dispute as to prior
it is the well settled prac-
-<a~of the general land office not to
order hearing as to conflicting set
tlement claims until the township plat
is filed.

WOOL BRINGS GOOD PRICE.

In letter just received from Halo

with headquarters in Boston, by ]. NJ.

Wool Growers association, the follow
ing list of sales of wool shipments
was enclosed. The list gives the ship
per's name and the price. The firm
wrote that these were all first-class
sales and they hoped the growers
would be pleased. The letter was
written on May 6 and therefore list
merely shows lots sold from first two
shipments.
The item will be of special interest
to members of the association as well
as to all persons engaged in wool
growing, while it is gratifying to read
ers in general 20 see that wool snip
ments are each year increasing in size
and value, and that the sheep industry
is developing yearly.
The letter is as follows:
"Since writing you last We have
received your first two shipments and
on another sheet we enclose list
showing the lots that are sold and the
prices. Before the lots are shipped
the bags will have to be examined
and any off fleeces taken out and sold
at value. These are all first-class
sales and we hope the growers will
be well pleased The sale of the Cor
relius Bros clip at 81 1-2 cents only
takes in the old Sheep. The lambs
wool is too short to go in but it is
light shrinkage and we will probably
scour it up and sell it in the secured
state.

about the Cedar Hill shippers. We
certainly intend to be fair about all
such matters and in view of the fact
that you went to so much trouble and
expense and feel that the association
is entitled to the whole Ia cent rebate
on these clips, we will agree to this
and make the ID cent rebate to the
