THE ENLARGED HOMESTEAD ACT

In an interview just given out, Secretary
Lane calls attention to the fact that there proves
to be considerable misunderstanding among
Western hOmesteaders as to the procedure nee
essary in order that the "enlargcd homestead EN-
tries shall he made
The secretary of state said that only the most
direct and simple statement by the settler is re-
quired and that it is wholly unnecessary for him
to incur the charges now made by attorneys to
draw mp formal petitions when they are in fact
no more effective than the hOmesteaders own
letter would be-
The first enlarged homestead act was ap-
proved in 1909 and applies to nOn-irrigable
land i'm Colorado and several other states. The
work of classifying the land and determining
what areas may be considered "n0nirrigable'
has been assigned by Secretary Lane to the Ma
tional Geographical Survey. Owing to the large
areas to be covered this work necessarily moves
along slowly but as as the land is classified
as non-irrigable they are available for home
stead entry of not to exceed 800 acres. The
principle involved is worth attention in Hawaii
where revision of the land laws is coming more
and more into discussion.

THINKS O. r. G. L. SHOULD PAY

Editor Honolulu StarBulletin.
Sir: All this speculation as TO VINO
should pay for the TRANSFORMATION OF
the Leilehua soldiers into Honolulu for
the Carnival would be very quickly
settled if the proper parties, the o. R.
& L., would come forward with the
public-spirited offer to bring the re
quired number in, and afterwards car
ry them back. free of all cost. either
to the soldiers or to the Mid-Pacific
Carnival. Ltd.
x And it is right and proper that the
o. r. & H. should do this.
Let the o. r. & L. show their ap
probation of the great amount OF
business they have secured from the
federal government, with consequent
good profit to themselves, by offer
ing to bring the soldiers in, and take
them back again, free.
The financial cost to the railroad fol
performing this service will amount
to very little in operating expense
and think of the good effect it woulC
have on public opinion!
Why not use the leverage of the At
Club and the fulcrum of public opin
ion to raise the o. r. & L. onto the
higher level of public-spirited co-opera
tiCn?

FOR THE SOLDIER BOY.

Editor Honolulu Bulletin,
Sir: I read the letter from "Hope-
full" in Saturdays paper with much
interest, and think he is right in his
statement that in no other place I'M
der the Stars and Stripes does the
man in the uniform get the s!urs and
Sights he receives here.
A soldier is seen on the streets un-
der the influence of liquor. lmme-
diately a howl goes up against the
army and its drunken men. A man
belonging to any one of the numerous
fraternal orders here gets drunk;
perhaps he is named, but not word
is said about Masons, X. of P.'s. Elks,
Odd Fellows, or any other order to
which he may belong. Would not
that be just as fair as to publish it
far and wide that the drunken man
was a soldier? | say, yes.
In proportion to the membership of
army and of the different orders there
are many more men who are seen in
ktoxicated from the fraternal orders
than from the army.
The soldiers come from good homes,
many of them, and are worthy Of bet
ter treatment than they receive here.
They spend large sums here. ANY
