Thomson Brothers (From the La Grande Observer July 25, 1916) First definite explanation of the re cent amendment' to the Enlarged Homestead act, has been made public by the La Grande land office. The amendment became effective July 3d, but to date little has reached news paper columa ot its precise working details. Inquiries are pouring into the land office in this city, and Reg ister F. C. Bramwell and Receiver Nolan Skiff, have been busy writ ing letters on this subject. As acorn- prehensive and detailed explanation of the new law may be cited a let ter forwarded to Joe H. Parkes of Pendleton today. In this letter to Mr. Parkes the officials say: I am in receipt of your inquiry rela tive to a bill Introduced by Congress man Sinnott, as an amendment to the enlarged homestead act, authorizing additional entries for land not con tiguous to the original entry. You ask to be fully advised as to the pro visions of this bill. You perhaps have reference to the Act of July 3rd, 1916, (Public No. 142) amending the Act of February 19th 1909, commonly known as the enlarged homestead act, by adding1 thereto an additional section to be known as section seven. This act provides: "Section 7. That any person who as made or shall make homestead en try of less than three hundred and twenty acres of land of the charac ter herein described, and'who shall have submitted final proof thereon shall have the right to enter public lands subject to the provisions of this act, not contiguous to his first entry which shall not with the original en try exceed three hundred and twenty acres; Provided, That the land riginally entered and that covered !' the additional -entry shall first have been designated as subject to this act, as provided by section one thereof; Provided - Futher, That in no case shall patent issue for the land covered by such additional entry un til the person making same shall have actually and in conformity with the homestead laws resided upon and cul tivated the lands so additionally en tered and otherwise complied with such laws, except that where the land nibraced in the additional entry is lo cated not exceeding twenty miles from the land embraced in the orlR inal entry no residence shall be re quired on such additional entry if the entryman is residing on his former entry; And Provided Further, That this section shall not be con strued as affecting any rights as to location of soldiers' additional home steads and under section twenty-three hundred and six of the Revised Stat tutes" Under departmental construction as announced in Circular No. 48. ap proved July ith, 1916, additional en tries will he allowed enly in the states where the enlarged homestead act is in force and where final proof on the original entry has l.e3n sub mitted. Where the additional entry is within twenty miles of the original entry, and the applicant still main tains his residence on the land first entered, no residence on the addition al entry will be required; but culti vation, under the Act of June 6th 1912, must be shown on the submis sion of final proof. If the additional entry is more than twenty miles from the original entry, both residence and cultivation, under the three-year law will be required. To determine the distance between two entries, the nearest points measured on a straight line, will control. In all cases, the land in the original entry, as well as the land applied for under the additional application must be designated under the enlarged homestead act; but where the land in either entry has not been already orl ginated, the applicant may file a pe tition for designation, in duplicate as provided by the Act of March 4th 1915, and Departmental Circular No 402, except that separate petitions must be filed if the land in both the original and additional entries has not been designated. Where an applicant for an addition al entry made his original entry In a different land district, inquiry will be made of the proper land office to as certain whether or not the land in his original entry has been designated. If not already designated under the enlarged homestead act, the applicant will be allowed thirty days in which to file a petion for designation, cov ering the undersignated land. Under this act, any person who has heretofore made a homestead entry on which proof has been submitted may make a second, or additional en try, tor such an area, as will, when added to the area heretofore, entered not -exceed 820 acres. However, If such person, for example, has made a timber and stone or desert land en try for 160 acres and a hoemstead en try for 160 acres, he would still he entitled to make an additloal entry for 160 acres more, under the pro visions of this act, which would make! in the axgregate 430 acres. Application under this act must be prepared on Form 4-004, "Addi tional Homestead Application, Act of rebruary 19, 19U9," which will re quire two witnessess and the descrip tion of his original entry, giving the number and date thereof. The "Act of July 3rd, 1916," will be added thereto when the application Is filed in this office; but in the preparation of the application,"Section 3" should be changed so as to read "Section 7." The fees and commissions on ap plications under this act will be the same as other homestead entries. For 160 acres, the filing fees will be $16; for 120 acres, $14.50; for 80 acres, $8.00 and for 40, acres, 6.50. If you desire to make any further inquiries as to the provisions of this act, we will be glad to answer them promptly. Yours very respectfully, . F. C. U RAM WELL. " Register, NOLAN SKIFF, Receiver. T - TIED HDEUN The pioneers of Oregon were forc ed to undergo many hardships in carving out homes in the wilderness. To help those pioneers, the Federal ! Government granted to the Oregon California Railroad company a large grant of land to assist in building that road and to give to Oregon more settlers and more taxable property. The government received its pay, all it ever expected, in the building of the road and the concessions receiv ed. Had the land grant been disDOS- ed of according to the terms of the grant, Oregon would be profiting to day by many more acres of taxable lands and many more settlers. Ore gon alone is the sufferer, yet when these lands are disposed of according to the bill recently passed she gets but 50 per cent of the proceeds. Thousands of acres of arid lands thirsting for water, yet 40 per cent of the land grant fund goes to the general reclamation fund instead of to these lands . Representative Sinnott is making a last fight for the 40 per cent and has Introduced a bill amending the original bill, asking that the proceeds from sale of land and timber appor tioned to the general reclamation fund be expended on projects in the Stote of Oregon. Is there any injustice In this re quest? Is this Btate asking any thing unreasonable? Did the Fed eral Government or any of the re clamation states expect to get any thing from these lands under the ori ginal grant act? Oregon did expect something from the original grant, so why should she not expect it now. It seems that there is little room for argument as to the real mcrits-of the issue, but it is necessary to present the facts to those who should know II tne members ot Congress are given the facts with regard to this there is some hope that they will see the justice of It and vote to give to our state that to which she is en titled. Personal letters to members of Congress or to persons who may have influence will prove an effective means. Write such a letter and by so doing contribute your part in se curing this fund for Oregon's arid lands. L MONTE MARBLE AND GRANITE WORKS PENDLETON, OREGON Fine Monument and Cemetery Work.
