Tho Times-Herald is in receipt
of n letter written by H. L.
McDonald, a deputy U. S. Btock
inspector, who has been in this
section moro or les3 for two
years, saying tho reported loss
of sheep had been greatly exag
gerated. Tho letter was written
from Andrews under date of
Feb. 12 and Mr. McDonald had
just come up from Denio. He
says in part: "Wo aro having a
"chinook" at Wild Horso Valley
yesterday and today and snow is
practically all gone. Carlson
says weather is good in Catlow
Valley also. Unless we have an
unfavorable spring I do not
think the loss will exceed 10 per
cent and in many cases not over
5 per cent This is certainly
good hews and indicates that the
reports were scares rather than
facts.
The first sagebrush distillery
will be in operation at Reno next
week. The expert representing
the Chicago manufacturers of
the plant, says he will show the
people how at a cost of $5 he
will produce five products from a
ton of sagebrush worth $20. The
most important item will be al
cohol. It is not only the profit
in sagebrush distillation in Ne
vada that should interest our
people but the continuous crops
that will yield far more than the
sagebrush per acre. Silver
State.
The Times-Herald would urge I
the active interest of local busi
ness men in tho coming city
election which will be held on
March 8. It is quite important
that we have level headed men
to look after our interests and
unless the business men look to i
it we may not expect to securo
the best material. Why not call
a mass meeting of the business
men at the court house next
week and choose candidates.
We should have a good ticket in
the field.
HOMESTEADERS GIVEN MORE TIME.
The commissioner of
. .
eral land office has
promulgated
a set of regulations for the guid
ance of registers and receivers
of local land offices in the admin
istration of the provisions of an
act of congress, approved Janu
ary 28, 1910, extending the time
for certain homesteaders to es
tablish residence upon their lands,
as follews:
"The first section of the act
applies to all homestead entries
in the states named made
nfrpr'
w- !
June 1, 1909, and in such cases
the entrymen are given until May
15, 1910, to establish residence
on their claims. It also applies
to soldiers' declaratory state
ments filed in the states named
after Juno 1, 1909, and such de
clarants are given until May 15,
1910, to make their homestead
entries and establish their resi
dence on tho land. If any pay
ment is required to be made in
connection with the entry under
the declaratory statement, as in
the caso of ceded Indian reserva
tions, the act also operates to ex-1
tend the payment until the entry i
is made.

"Tho first proviso to snetion 1
of tho act provides that the peri
od of commutation or of actual
resldenco under tho homestead
law shall not bo shortened. En
tryman who hnvo Uikon tulviui-
tago of this oxtension cannot
submit commutation proof until
thoy have maintained substan
tially continuous rcsidonco for M
months from tho date samo was
established; and in fivo year proof
cannot claim credit for construc
tive residence for moro than six
months prior to tho dato actual
residence was established.
"Under tho second proviso of
section 1 tho act will not bo held
to defeat tho adverso claim of
one who mado entry over a sol
dier's declaratory statement, and
who prior to tho passage of the
act had established a bona fido
residence on tho land entered. I
where tho six months from dato
of tho reclaratory statement had
expired prior to the passage of
the act without tho soldier hav
ing made his homestead entry
and established his rcsidonco
on the land.
"Tho second section of tho net
grants a leavo of absenco for
thVeo months from January 28,
1910, to all homestead entrymen
or settlers in tho states named in
the first section of tho act, En
trymen who avail themselves of
this leave of absence cannot claim
credit for residence during tho
time they are absent under such
leave, such period of absenco be
ing simply eliminated from con
sideration in cases of either final
or commutation proofs.
