HOMESTEAD IS
 FINALLY WON
 BY JUNEAU MAN

Patent has been received at the Juneau land office for the homestead of Cyrus F. Sheldon, of that city. It was signed by President Wilson on February 10.
 The issuance of this patent brings to a conclusion the fight made by MT. Sheldon for his homestead which lacked but a few weeks of extend ing over a period of thirteen years It was not only waged before the Juneau office but was carried to the general land office and to the secre- tary of the interior and into the United States district court in Ju- neau. In every instance Mir. Sheldon successfully maintained his rights.
 The homestead is located on the Juneau-Salmon creek road near the city limits of Juneau. Mr. Sheldon filed his application for patent on May 8. 1908. The first obstacle was encountered in an adverse claim pre- sented by J. w. Price, who has a homestead adjoining the Sheldon claim and claimed a prior right to the latter to patent, it being impos- sible at that time for patent to issue to both claims under the restrictions imposed by the 80-rod strip provision affecting lands on shores of meander- able waters. This was heard twice in the U. S. district court and both times MT. Sheldon sustained his claim to preference.
 The next hitch appearing was found in the claim of John Johnson who claimed possession to a certain portion of the Sheldon homestead, asserting his right through purchase of title from an Indian, claiming possession dating back to 1884. John sons protest was dismissed by the land office, which held that the h. dian had no right that could be dis posed of by sale.
 This obstacle being overcome, Mir Sheldon found his path to securing patent still blocked by protest filed by Jimmy Clark, native, who also alleged possession dating back to 1884 to portion of the land in dis pute This claim was fought out in the United States district court, re- sulting in a decision in favor of MT Sheldon. Two hearings were held on the same subject in the land office and in each hearing the registers de cision gave the land in conflict to MT. Sheldon. It was then carried to the commissioner of the general land office, who sustained the ruling of the Juneau land office. An appeal from the commissioner to the secre- tary of interior was taken and again MT Sheldon's right to title was sus- tained.

 RIGHT TO OIL
 LAND CEASES

The time limit set by the oil lands
 leasing act for filing for leases or
 patents to claims under preference
 right claimed By reason of work done
 on such claims prior to withdrawals
 on November 8, 1910, expired Febru.
 ary 25. Persons who might have had
 preference right land involved and
 failing to file have thereby forfeited
 their rights, according to the Juneau
 land office officials.
 The last claims to be filed on in
 the Juneau office under he preference
 rights provisions were three in the
 katalla district by the Mexican
 American Petroleum Company, of Seattle, two containing 1,280 acres
 each and the third, $40 acres. This
 company, 1t is understood, was pro- noted by Harry White of Seattle. 1 Out of the thousands of acres of land in the Katalla, Yakataga and Cold bay fields which were located | prior to the "conservationist era" and consequent land withdrawals, a sub stantial portion has been involved in aplication for leasing and prospect ing permits and for patents, accord ing to Register Frank A. Boyle, of the Juneau land office. In only one field, however, has the preference right provision of the law been used to any great extent.
 In the Katalla field every claim located prior to the withdrawals is now covered by applications claiming preference rights. Much of this land was controlled formerly by the old Alaska Development Company, whose rights were obtained by the Alaska Consolidated Oil Fields and the latter has filed for both patents and leasing permits The Chilkat Oil Company has also filed for considerable acreage, both patents and permits In addition to the claims filed under preference right claims in the Ka- talla field thousands of acres have been located by new claimans under the leasing and prospecting terms.
 In the Yakataga field which was practically all filed on prior to 1910, applications under the new law for leasing permits cover only 8,460 acres or approximately one-third of the dis trict held by the Alaska Development Company prior to withdrawals from entry. None of the new applications were made by preference right claim ants as no development work was done by the old company on the claims although a large area might have been claimed under preference rights, only one claim was filed in the past pear. J. H. Costello, of Independence. Kas., applied for 6,400 acres of land, the application being still pending before the commissioner of the general land office.
 Under the terms of the oil lands leasing act of February 25, 1920, persons or firms locating oil lands in Alaska prior to their withdrawal from entry in 1910 and who could show that they had complied with the re- quirements of the old law until such withdrawals were given one year from the passage of the new law in which they might have preferred rights to the land involved.

Don't you suppose they are glad to do
vithout us and have all to themselves the

trees. the short days, the long evenings, the log
fires on the big hearth taking up one side of the

and tell stories, crack nuts and jokes, roast
apples, drink cider and play dominoes, happy in
their long, uninterrupted merry evenings?
The early sunsets and the late sunrisings of
the Winter mornings add to the restfulness of
the hard workers of the long days of Summer
and to the joyfulness and delights of the long
evenings by the fireside.

mated at once.
