HOMESTEADS ONLY FOR HOME BUILDERS , | By a decision of the Interior d e -1 partaient, just promulgated, a homestead entry made with no in­ tention of establishing a perrna* lient tioiia fide home upon the laud but merely with a view of submit­ ting a showing sufficient to sup port commutation, must lie can­ celled, notwithstanding the proof offered shows full technical com ­ pliance with respect to inhabitancy of the laud for the period required iu commutation cases. 'The de­ partment holds that the purpose of the homestead law is the donation of the public lamia to actual settlers seeking to establish bona fide homes thereon aud the pro­ vision res|iecling commutation in nowise changes that puqiose but merely affords a means of commu­ tating further residence to cash in meritorious cases, lawfully initiat­ ed and prosecuted to the dale of commutation. In other words, one making homestead entry with the intent and pur|x>bc to commute gets no rights through the process, even though he may comply fully with the technical requirements as to residence and cultivation.
