INFORMATION TO SETTLERS.
How Public Lands May be Acquired
Through the Various Channels.
There are over 40,000,000 acres of
the best government lands In America
located In the extremely, fertile rc
glons of Minnesota, Nortli Dakota,
Montana, Northern Idaho, Washing
ton and Oregon, and open for occu
pancy by actual aettlers. Citizens
of the United States, or persons who
havo declared their Intention to be
come such, can obtain lands as fol
lows: Homesteads.
Any person wno is 1110 Heart of a
family, or who has 'arrived at the age
or 21 years, and is a citizen of the
United States or has filed his decla
ration of intention to becomo such,
and who Is not. tho proprietor of moro
than 160 acies of land in any state or
territory, is entitled to enter one
quarter section (1G0 acres), or leas
quantity of unappropriated land, un
der the homestead laws. The appli
cant must make affidavit, that ho is
entitled to the privileges of the home
stead act, and that the entry is made
for his exclusive use and benefit, and
for actual settlement and cultivation,
and must pay tho legal fee and that
part of the commissioners required as
follows: Fee for 1G0 acres, $ld; com
mission, ?4 to $12; feo for SO acres,
$5; commission, $2 to $6. Within six
months from the date of entry, tho
settler mut take up his residence
thereupon and cultivate tho same for
five years continuously. At tho expir
ation of this period, or within two
years thereafter, proof of residence
and cultivation must bo established
by four -witnesses. Tho proof of set
tlement with the certificate of the
Register of the land office is forward
ed to tho General Land office at
Washington, from which patent -is is
sued. Pinal proof can not be made
until the expiration of five years from
date of entry, and must bo made with
in seven years. Tho government rec
ognizes no salo of a homestead claim.
After expiration of 14 months from
date of entry tho law allows the home
steader to tecure title to the tract, if
so desired by paying for it in cash and
making proof or settlement, residence
and cultivation for that period. Tho
law allows only one homestead prlvl-
jege to any one person.
Soldiers' Homesteads.
A soldier, having served In the
army or navy during the war of the
rebellion for over P0 days, can obtain
1G0 acres of any of the public lands
by filing (himself or by an attorney)
a declaratory statement, and. within
six months thereafter, filing his nffl
davit and application, commencing
settlement and cultivation, and con
tinning the -same five years, less the
time he served in the army or navy
but, such time in no case to exceed
four years. His widow can take ad
vantage of the above. In case of his
death in the army, or discharge there
from on acount of wounds or disabill
ty incurred in the line of duty, the
term of enlistment is deducted. In
case of death of the soldier, his
widow, if unmarried, or in case of
her death or marriage, then his mlnoi
orphan children, by guardian duly ap
pointed and officially accredited at the
Department of the Interior, shall be
entitled to all the benefits given to
soldiers under the homestead laws.
An unmarried woman, of age, can
take the benefit of tho homestead
law. If she marries before she lias
acquired title, and continues her resi
dence on her claim, she can proceed
to prove up at the proper time, the
same as if she had remained single,
but husband and wife cannot secure
separate tracts by maintaining separ
ate residence at the same time. All
tho sons and daughters of a family,
who are of age, are entitled to take
up lands under the United States
land laws.
The Desert Land Act.
In some portions of the far West
there are considerable areas of arid
land which with irrigation become
very productive. In many of such lo
calities water Is a bundant and con
venient, and irrigating ditches are in
expensive. It pays to irrigate, as it
insures a certain crop every year and
an Increased yield. The following act
of congress designates how one-half
section (320 acres): Qf such can be ob
tained:

of the land district in which any des
ert land Is situated, that he lutends
