HINTS TO HOMESTEADERS

AAASSSASsSN1
Others Interested in Public
Lands and Land Law
Under this heading we shall publish
from time to time, matter intended
to clear up possible misunderstand-
ing Of various laws and regulations
relating to the public lands, consid-
ering especially those applicable to
the lands Of eastern Colorado.
A very good plan for al homesteaders
and those contemplating entry on gov
srnmsnt land, il to get the pamphlet of
suggestions, known ~ Circular No. 290,
Department Of the Intsrior. This Is
frequently revised, as new public land
laws and rules are made, and may usu-
ally be obtained by application to any
district land Office. Familiarity with
the suggestions therein given win do
much toward giving the entryman
sense Of security in his rights, and make
final proof IN easier and more simple
matter, when the time comes for max
ing 1t.
When to Make Proof
Most sntrymsn, having complied with
the law - to cultivation and residence,
will desire to make final proof without
delay. This il proper. ~ neglect to do
90 might permit circumstances to arise
under which 1t would be impossible for
the sntryman to make valid proof, and
90 defeat his effort to acquire title to
the land. For instance, the three year
law allows the entryman hve years from
date Of his filing in which to make proof,
and failure to do 70 within that time
makes the entry subject to cancellation.
That this IL not often done, u due to the
fact that sufficient reason for the delay
having been shown, the hnal certificate
may then be issued; but this should not
be taken - excuse for such delay.
Conmutatien Proof
After fourteen months Of actual resi-
dencs, the sntryman Of quarter sec
tion or less Of land may make commuta-
ton proof, upon payment Of $l.25 per
acre, or q. 80 Per acre II within rail-
road grant, and showing that ct least
one-sixtsenth Of the land Il under culti-
Aation at date Of proof. The entryman
should know positively that he has COM
piled with al requirements. - the pur-
chase money and fees paid will not b
returned in case proof 10 rejected. In
some cases, however. the purchase mon
ey may b applied on q second proof.
