OF INTEREST TO
 HOMESTEADERS
MAY DISPOSE OF PART OF HOME STEAD BEFORE A PATENT
 IS HAD.

MT. Andrew Christensen, head of the general land office in Alaska who went west few days ago, is reported in the newspapers of Seward as hay ing announced a decision rendered by Commissioner Clay Tallman to the eff feet that a homesteader could re- linquish any part of his homestead before patent is issued. The decis- ion as given out by MT Christensen, follows:
 Nearly all homesteaders have To- cated 320 acres of land, and the law requires that at least one-eighth, or forty acres, must be in cultivation at the end of the third year." said Chris jensen. Tt is a well known fact that as a general proposition it is an utter impossibility for homesteaders to cul- tivate this areas within the time al lowed by law. For this reason there is danger of some of the homestead CTS losing their claims.
 "The decision of the commissioner,  made May Is, 1916, holds that a homesteader may relinquish to the United States any portion of his home stead for a consideration; that is to say, he may sell any portion of his homestead, which will not affect the p;.rt retained by him. This will en- able them to raise money with which to develop the land they retain. The decision is very important, not only to the homesteader, but also to the development of the agricultural re- sources tributary to the railroad, be- cause it will enable two or more homesteaders to locate where now there is but one, thus increasing the settlement and bringing about an early development of the farming lands"

Talkeetna is situated at the confluence of the Talkeetna, Chulitna and Susitna riv CTS and is so situated as to be the key to this field as a fordwarding point for the Broad Pass country and easily accessible to the Matanuska junction.
