EXPLANATION Of THE

time to do this und those who at
tempt to make filings under the bill

rctary must do So at their own risk.
The bill provides however. that set

rctary hus completed the work Of des.
ignation. The application must be ac-
companied by aftidavits showing that

The hill provides that settlers whC
have made filings under the general
homestead law and amendments there
