R. C. Dillon, manager of the

an evidence of the prosperity

lower priced ones.
In mentioning the amendment to
the 320-acre homestead law last
week we omitted saying that an
entryman whose original entry is
not within the enlarged area may
file and at the same time make
to have his land so
designated. The same may be
done as to the additional entry.
OF course the entryman must be
the judge as to whether he can
make showing that will cause
such application to be granted.
Also in regard to the question of
cultivation on additional entry,
that cultivation of additional en-
try is required-one-sixteenth
the second year and one. eighth
the third year, and that proof
cannot be made under three
years. Residence on either the
original or additional must be the
same as under the three-year
law. Some people think that
this amendment when considered
in connection with the entire
law, may permit proof without
cultivation on the additional
where cultivation on the original
is sufficient for proof on 800. We
do not knw as to that, but as
above stated the language of the
circular issued by the general
land office is perfectly clear and
explicit in requiring cultivationon
the additional entry. One thing
which seems wholly unjust in
this amendment is that it appar-
emily bars entrymen who have
not submitted final proof on their
original entries. We can see no
reason for such discrimination.
