STEAD ENTRY
Declares Law Not Compiled With Rel
ative to Residence and
Cultivation

The Lewiston land office has just
received a copy of the decision hand
ed down by the commissioner of the
general land office at Washington, /,
the contest proceedings entitled the
coll of this city, involving the pos
session of homestead located with
IN the ST. Joe national forest reserve
ing for the rejection of the final proof
and the cancellation of the entry.
This is a reversal of the Judgment
Lewiston office, their decision being
favorable to the contestee.
The daily star-mirror. (Moscow, Idaho) 1911-1939, 1915-04-10
Claim Compliance

The proceedings We're instituted on
the grounds that the entrywcnran had
failed to maintain and establish a
residence on the land; that she had
failed to cultivate the required area.
and that the homestead was sought
for speculation in the timber thereon,
it being estimated that 100000 feet
were contained.
The testimony adduced at the orig
inal hearing was in effect that the
homestead was located at the time
of settlement 100 miles from the near
est railroad point, and 81 miles from
the nearest trading place, and To
travel to and from the land one was
forced to use an unbroken trail and
travel over snow of an almost i'm
passable depth. These facts were
brought out in the findings of the
commissioner when precedents We're
set forth for his reversal CT the lower
office.
