(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. "

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.
