at any time. although a GUTTER meyer
entry has not been allowed, the appli-

application and restore his right, the
same as If he had never made the APP
plication. But if the application has
been allowed by the register and re-

The person buying, such a relinquish-
ment has no standing with the gov
eminent. and the only advantage to be
gained by him is the chance to make
the first application for the land after

1t has often been said that a person
who relinquishes his land can file again
while a person who loses his land by
contest lcses his right. This is not the
with the entry, the fact that an entry
was lost on contest does not prevent
the entryman from ma king a second
ssnry. while the person who reln .ta, ,,s
did not sell his REIMBURSEMENT, or he
will not be allowed to make second
entry.
If there is contest filed against an
linquishment of the entry and an APP
plication fer fling upon the land. it
will be necessary for such person to
show that the reiin4 fahs ana ~, was
man had any notice of the contest
otherwise the contestant will have the
preference right to file. and the person
who purchased the REIMBURSEMENT will
lose out. If an entry is contested and
the entryman relinquish it after the
contest is started. the contestant has
the preference right Of entry and no
person can intervene.
If an executive withdrawal has been
placed upon the land. or a preference
right of entry has attached to the
land, before the filing of a relinquish-
ment, it will become effective at Cncc.
though the relinuuishment and an APP
plication for entry are filed simultan-
eously. The REIMBURSEMENT will return
the land to the. government. but the
entry will be rejected. In such case
it does not matter that the rclinquish-
rnent has been purchased for Valua-
BILE consideration.
In most cases a person will be al
lowed to relinGuish any part of an en-
try and retain the balance. providing
he does not attempt to divide a 40
acre tract in so doing. CT leave the re-
naming land in two tracts which dc
not join each other.
Unless the REIMBURSEMENT is filed
for the purpose of obtaining Il repay
ment of fees CT purchase money it is
not necessary to have it acknowledge
before an officer. although it is wei
