HOMESTEADS ALLOWED
 IN TIMBER RESERVES

The local land office is in receipt of an executive order regarding the AL aska timber reservation No. which provides for the reservation of tim- Der for railroad construction purposes in several tracts along the railroad right of way. One of these tracts is strip five miles wide along the right of way from Knik river to the end of the branch line which leads to the Matanuska coal fields, another tract of the same width leads inland on Knik arm to the mouth of the Susit- ma river. A third tract ten miles wide, runs along each side of the Su- sl;na river as far north as the Vent ma. The fourth tract extends for a width of five miles along the Matan- uska branch line up the Susitna riv- CT to Broad Pass.
 The order provides further that the reservation shall not prevent location, settlement, or entry under the public land laws of Alaska sub iect to the condition that the locator. settler or entryman must subscribe to an agreement whereunder he agrees not to cut or remove any of the timber on the lands located. set tied upon or claimed, unless author lzed SO to do by the Secretary of the Interior
 No certificate of final entry shall be issued in connection with this land until the Alaska engineering commission shall have determined that the government has no further need of the land for timber. This order. however, is ndt to be con- strued to disturb any vested right.
 In transmitting the order the Com missioner of the General office sends copy of the letter of the Secretary to William c. Edes wherein the state ment is made that the Secretary rec commended the issuance of the order only with great reluctance, believing that it would have a tendency to re- tard the development of the country adjoining the railroad. In view ol this belief the Secretary makes the request that as soon as the govern. ment shall have finished with the land in question. or in other words, as soon as the engineering commission shall have secured all the timber from any particular tract that it intends to use that he be notified in order that such tracts may be eliminated from the above mentioned conditions regard ing location or settlements The com mission is therefore required by the Secretary to report from time to time such areas as may be eliminated from the reserve in order that an restric tions as to the disposition of th' lands may be removed.
 "In the area withdrawn, no hna proof has as yet been submitted and ! it is not likely that for a period o three years any settler will be able to submit final proof" said Register Walker today "so that there vii probably be no delay in the advanc' of any settlers claim to patent"
