The local land ofllca Is In rocclpt of a most Im portant ruling of the general land of fice. Widows and orphans of soldiers must now complete their title to homestead entries by the same actual' residence as the soldier or sailor him self. Heretofore tho widow or orphan child of a soldier or sailor might prove upon a hjmestc-ad claim without ac tually living on the same at all.' Now they will have to live the full five years only deducting from that time the amount of time the soldier relation actually served. The only exception to this Is In the case of a soldier who uied In service. Then the whole time of his enlistment counts for the benefit of wif.e or children- This law will go Into effect imme diately, and notice will be sent to all those who have filed under the old s.cctlon that If they fall to comply wlthoin CO days with tho new provis Ion the entry will be vacated. Provision Is made that any one who has filed and is unable to live up to the new requirements can relinquish without losing their homestead right, This doclslon Is far reaching and will affect many families of old sol dlers In Washington and Oregon.
