Enlarged Homestead Law.

Copies of the act adding a seventh
section to the enlarged homestead act,
have been received by Register j. T.
Joyce and Receiver George Weaver, of
the Durango land Office. The act be-
came a law July 3 and while it is of
keen interest to homesteaders in this
land district, not many of them are
familiar with its provisions.
Congressman Edward T. Taylor in
troduced and fought for this bill, and
it is certain to prove of inestimable
value to Colorado and all other western
states.
The act provides for the taking up
of contiguous land by homesteaders
who have already taken up less than
800 acres of land. Under the law of
1909 provision is made for homesteaders
who have taken up less than 800 acres
under which they may take up addi-
tional acreage contiguous to their land.
Under the act of July 3, 1916, home
steaders holding less than 800 acres
may take up additional land to COM
plete 800 acres anywhere they desire
whether it is contiguous or adjoining
their original homestead or not. The
tional land is taken UP within 20 miles
of the original homestead, the locator
does not have to reside on the new
location.
The important features of the new
act, are as follows:
The only qualifications required of
an applicant under this act are that he
has not already made an additional
entry hereunder, and that the tract
applied for will not, with other lands
which he has entered and acquired
title to under any of the non-mineral
public land laws. of which he is then
claiming Hereunder, make an agree
gate of more than 48O acres.
1T is not necessary that any of the
land be designated under the ENLARGED
homestead act when the application
for additional entry is filed. The an
plicant must state that both tracts
have been so designated, or he must
file petition for designation, of the
undesignated land, as provided by the
act of March 4, 1915 (48 Stat. ll621
and separate petitions must be filed for
the different tracts if both be nm
designated. These will be forwarded
by the local officers, as directed by the
regulations under said act.
Where an original tract, outside of
the land district, is said to have been
designated you will at once make in
quiry of the proper Office. If the re-
spouse be satisfactory, action will be
taken accordingly; but, if part or ali
Of the original tract appears not to
have been designated, the applicant
will be allowed 80 days within which to
file petition for its designation.

Many Inquiries as
to Requirements

The governors office is receiving
numerous inquiries as to the posi-
bility Of volunteers being asked for
from this state by men anxious to
serve in the Mexican campaign
While no one can foretell whether
there will be call for volunteers. it
is certain that the National Guard
will see service first. for under the
army reorganization bill, the National
Guard is called for service before
volunteers are asked for Therefore
those who are anxious to get to the
front should lose no time in enlist
ing in the National Guard for the
state has the assurance that if imme-
diately organized, inspected and rec
ognized, Nevada will be included in
the call for border duty.
Enlistment now means the creation
OF an organized militia here, the only
state in the Union without such an
organization. To the individual it
means all the advantages attained
from military training, together with
one-fourth of the pay of the same
rank in the regular army, and Gov
ernor Boyle gives the assurance that
there is little probability of the mill
tia being called out for police duty
in the state since we have a state po-
lice. so the main drawback formerly
existing to organizing National
Guard does not apply now.
