Homesteads.

An entry under the enlarged
homestead act is q homestead en-.

Where the required amount of
money has been paid in connection
with a homestead entry to meet
the proper charges for the entry if
amended, and if there be n" SUBJ
stantial administrative objections
to allowance of amendment, the
character of the entry may be
changed 30 as to stand subject to
those other provisions of the home
stead laws applicable to the land
to be embraced in the amended
entry.

An entry of uusurveyed lands
made within ninety days after the
filling of the survey plat is subject
to the timely assertion, within
that period, of a possible prefer
ence right given by the act of
March 2Sth, 1908, based upon
possession and commencement of
reclamation of desert lands prior
to their survey.
Repayment can only be allowed
upon specific statutory authority.
Under the act of June 10Th, 1880,
repayment is authorized where en-
tries are Cancelled for conflict or
have been enormously allowed and
can not be confirmed.
1t was the purpose of the act OF
March 26th, 1908, to afford repay

into the Treasury "under any APP
plication to make any filing, loca'
tion, selection, entry or proof

Desert Lands

An assignment of a desert land
entry is not an abandonment of an
entry. The entry still exists and
may be perfected, and title be &C.
quired. If an entry is abandoned,
the land falls back into the pub
lie domain, and the Government
has parted with no land.

A citizen of the United States
loses his citizenship only by ex-
partriation. Certain civil and
political rights may be forfeited
because of an infamous crime, but
the status of citizenship remains
with all the rights, privileges, etc,
of citizens In general, except such
as may have been forfeited or
taken away. Therefore q citizen
of the United Statec who has been
convinted of a felony and not
pardoned is eligible to make a
public land entry.
, 1912-06-20

The law governing u cash entry
does not fix any time within which
final proof must be submitted.
This law is not strictly a home
stead law, but the right given
thereby is in the nature of a right
of purchase with a condition as to
residence attached. Said law
does not, like the homestead law,
require that such residence shall
commence on making entry or at
any specified time subsequently,.
The money having been paid and
good faith existing, fair opportun-
ity after notice should be given to
complete the residential require
ment.

An American citizen who enters

The judicial vacation of a patent
to public lands does not, of itself,
make such land subject to entry
or any form of application until
the former entry or patent is can
celled on the records of the Gen.
eral Land Office and the proper
local Office; and no application will
be received or any rights reconiz-
ed until this action has been taken.
The segrsgative effect of an en-
try il the same whether patented
or unpatented, and the record
must be cleared before any other
application may be received.

The continued occupancy of
land by a claimant and his liberal
cultivation and substantial imp
rovement thereof, made after the
submission of final proof, is strong
ly indicative of an original purpose
to make the land an agricultural

ST. Augustine, Fla.-Four centuries

Ponce de Leon, Spanish explorer,
landed there in search OF the "Foun-

had houndered through the sandy
swamps of the vicinity and tramped
among the scrub palmetto bathed in
every stream, pool and mudhole they
came across without success, they re-

is consequently the oldest permanent
