MAY RELINQUISH
Manager Andrew Christensen, of
the government railroad land de
partment, has issued a statement
that a decision of great importance
to Alaskan homesteaders had been
rendered by Commissioner Clay
Tallman of the general land office
by which they may sell or relinquish
ments of any part of their home
steads before patent is issued.
‘‘Nearly all homesteaders have
located 320 acres of land, and the
law requires that at least one
eighth, or forty acres, must be in
cultivation at the end of the third
year," said Christensen. "It is a
well known fact that as a general
proposition it is an utter impossibil
tv for homesteaders to cultivate
this area within the time allowed '
by law. For this reason there is
danger of some of the homestead
ers losing their claims.
"The decision of the commission
er, made May lfi, 1916, holds that
a homesteader may relinquish to
the United States any portion of his
homestead fora consideration; that
is to say, lie may sell any portion of
his homestead, which will not af
fect the part retained by him. This
will enable them to raise money }
with which to develop the land they
retain. The decision is very im
portant. not only to the homestead
er, but also to the development of
the agricultural resources tributary
to the railroad, because it will en
able two or more homesteaders to
loeato where now there is but one, |
thus increasing the settlement and I
bringing about an early develop
ment of the farming lands."
