The Coconino sun., 1922-05-26

Free Homestead land and now open for squatters' right settlement by the people. The law says:
 On unsurveyed land you select the land you want; plainly mark the boundaries of all claimed by you, put habitable house on it; you may go away from the land five months of each year. Keep this up for three years and get your patent from the government. Soldier boys must live twelve months on their homesteads, one year out of three.
 My Plan is This
 Join our association. Membership fee is S1.00. On payment of this fee I show you the exact location of this valley on the map. 1 give you a road map so you can get in your wag on or automobile and drive into this valley. Fifteen hundred men and wo- men will meet in this valley July 1, 1922. Then each one of us hand the surveyor S200-that gives the sur veyor S3,000. That will survey all of our claims. We are now on land, in legal possession of 320 acres at to- tai cost of $500.
 Then we will ask the government to make an official survey of our valley so we can file on it. It will take the government two years to make this official survey and put it on the books in Washington and in our district land office and declare it open for filing. Our time as residents on the land goes on just the same on unsurveyed land as it would if we had filed on the land the first day we go on the land.
 Ladies as we'll as men can home stead this land.
 A company of cattle kings are oc- cupying all of this beautiful valley as a cattle range.
 Our wagon travel from all points in Oklahoma will start after March 1. All automobile travel will start after April 1. All railroad travel will start April 10. We all meet at a des- ignated point in Arizona, where we get in one bunch to enter the valley. At the time you pay us S1.OO we sign you up as member of our association and give you all the information con corning the association. The receipt we give you for the $1.00 membership fee we agree is transferable if you should decide not to go after we sign you up. You can sell your receipt and get your dollar back. The other person then becomes a member.
 Send me a postoffice money order for $1.00 and will send you a receipt as member of the Cow Boy and Cow Girl Wild West Park association. My references are the Amarillo National Bank, Amarillo, Texas, capital, S20O,- 900; The First National Bank of Kan sas City, Mo-, capital 5000 900. Join us today and get into the center of the valley. You may come any time between March 1 and November 30, 1922, and we will locate you if we have any land left in the valley.
 In letter to me from the General Land Office at Washington concern ing this land they describe 576,000 acres in the tract.
 This land is unsurveyed. We take it under the squatters' act law. That gives us the prior right of 90 days to file on the land when it is open for filing. The government filing fee is $40, that you will not need until the land is open for filing; $500 is all you would pay until you file. That will be about two years. You need not worry about the survey or filing date. The land is yours the day you go on it.
 Go today and get free home if you want one. Write letter to the General Land Office at Washington, D. C., and ask for Free Homestead Circular No. 541. They can be had for the asking.
 It is fight for the actual settler to get into the west. It is fight to get information about the free homes in the west before the people of the east.
 This association of people is com posed of the oldest living pioneer westerners and scouts. We know ev- cry nook and corner of the west. Join our association and get a free home in any part of the west. A move is on now to kill the free homestead law.
 In writing me inclose addressed stamped envelope and 10 cents for stenographer fees.
