" May Cancel Battles.'-"' It la believed that a large number of . entries will be canceled for the reason '. that the land is more valuable for agrt ".:, cultural purpose than tor gracing and -the meanings e "the Pulton act and Ui amendment. According to Coliffiel Raley there waa nothing covert regarding his. transac tion in tha lands involved. After Sen - a tor Pulton had passed his bill allow ..... : Ing entrymen to prove up on. their lands without residence when they could show the land to be good only fer timber or grail ng purposes, he and '- Mr.- Crew advanced money with whlcb the entrymen paid (or- their lands. In ' return for this money sdvanced a la , years' lease on the land was given Messrs. Raley and Crew.

He says that whenever an . entryman has asked to . be released . - from his lease his-request has been granted upon his repaying the ''money sdvanced him and with, which he bought , tha land from the government ' In making the leasee with the entry , men printed blanks were used, and , same wss given to Inspector Alexander ' same was given to lnspeotor Alevander r at - that tlma- and - one was alsu-Tor warded to the department at Washlng- ton.
