Walla Walla, July 19. 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.

Juneau Bids for Next Session of the
American Mining Congress.
A bid for tho 1905 session of tho
American Mining Congress to be held
In Alaska has been made by tho Ju
tieau Record-Miner, In the following
editorial:
"Tho Record-Miner wants to know
why tho region of tho greatest gold
production In tho world has never
had recognition from tho mining con
gress? Is It because the capitalists
interested In mining in Alaska have
not tho entorprso to reach out for tho
nrlzo. nor tuo foresight to see the
benefits to be dorlvcd by showing our
varld mineral resources and tho many
advantages, w.o possess for cheap min
ing and transportation facilities?
'Juneau is admirably situated for
ontertalnlug the mining congress in
1905. Sltuatod lu tho center of the
largost varlod mining region in Alas
ka, whero all tho valuablo minerals
aro rnlnod gold, silver, copper, lead,
coal, oil, etc.; on the lino of trans
portation of tho leading steamship
routes: at tho door of one of the larg
est gold producing nilnos in tho world
If tho essential consideration (min
ing regions) should bo remembered,
why not select Juneau I Now If tho

tho raining Interests of Alaska to
reach for this valuablo prlz,o."

"it may bo that at somo time In tho
future another railroad will follow
down tho course of tho Columbia
river, with its track along tho north
bank, but looking at It now It seems
a long ways off.
There is already ono" transcontinen
