Land Entries in Inter-
est of Cattlemen
Cancelled
Washlnnton. D. C. Jan. 13. It Is
charged that n largo number of homo
stoad ontrlos havo boon rondo In tho
weetorn states for thej bonoflt of cat-
tlemen through tho ubo of what Is
known as soldiers widows and or-
phans rights. Until recently It has
been held aB tho roeult of a doatsion
of tho searotnry of tho Interior somo
yoars ago that rosldonco was not re-
quired In that class of ontrlos; that
all that was necessary In tho case
of the widows of doceasod soldiers
was to go upon the land nnd come Iirl
porsonal contnot with It lyid thon
piovide through herself or an ngent
for cultivation for the period which
her husband would he required to re-
side upon tho land were lie living.
In the case of soldiers' orphans it
was held that the gunrdlan could go
upon the land nnd make the settle-
ment required and provide for its cul-
tivation. Thereforo the eastern states
were raiisaoked for cases where a
guarlianshlp could be procured and
the entry mndo through a western
guardian. In some cases a consider
able number of entries lying contigu
ous to oach other wero entered under
this law. Where the purpose was to
obtain title for the benefit of cattle-
men the lands were plowed sown In
spring rye millet or something of
that 'haturef add grated over during
the summer the same crop or some
other being sown tho next season
and that was held to be rultiva'ion
in full "compliance wftb the is.w and
could be don without detriment.
The same wu also true as tu cm
trie's made on behalf of sol iters'
widows. This class of entries have
been used to such an ex ont that a
determination seems to have been
reached by the department of the In
tertnr to put n slop to It. and there-
fore a radical change has been made
In the rulings of the department.
This change was made In connec-
tion with a case brought to the at-
tention of the department in the
Broken Bowl land district In the
state of Nebraska. There the entry
was made on behalf of the widow and
she execute! a lease to a cattle com
pany for the town that cultivation
was required and entered Into agree-
ment to sell the In ml when title
would be obtained for the sum of $128
Illy decision of the secretary of the
Interior dated December 7 103 the
former ruling was reversal and here-
after residence by the widow will be
required to the same extent that res
lden-o by the hunbaiH If living would 1
be require 1. That Is. the full time!
