Homesteaders
May Sell Part
of Holdings
A. Christensen has issued a recent
circular in which he calls upon the
farmer for assistance. But as usual
with Mr. Christensen’s moves this one
too is a benefit to the farmer and
Alaska.
Through a ruling of the general
land office under the (late of May 16,
1916, a decision ist handed down that
makes it permissible for a homestead
er to relinquish a portion of his orig
inal entry to the United States and
receive pay therefor from the subse
quent purchaser.
In Mr. Christensen’s letter he en
closes a form asking the farmers sev
eral questions relative to crops, na
ture of soil, improvements and gener
al questions* of mutual interest. Be
lieving this communication will be of
interest to The Daily Times readers
interest to the public The Daily Times
publishes a portion of Mr. Christen
sen’s letter:
Dear Sir: The Commissioner of
the General Land Office in a decision
dated May 16, 1916, addressed to the
Alaskan Engineering Commission, ad
vised that it would be permissible for
a homesteader to relinquish to the
United States a part of his homestead
and receive pay therefor from the
purchaser. The subsequent purchas
er may then file upon the part relin
quished, provided he is qualified to
take a homestead in Alaska, and the
original homesteader may continue
his settlement and cultivation of the
part retained by him.
Since that decision was rendered
many homesteaders have expressed a
desire to sell a portion of. their land
to someone wh#is qualified and desir
ous of taking up a homestead, and
have asked me to put them in touch
with such prospective settlers. By
selling a portion of their homesteads
the homesteaders will not only be re
lieved of cultivating a large area, but
will also have money from such sale
with which to tide them over until
their homesteads become productive
and self-supporting. By selling a
portion of their homesteads it will al
so permit more homesteads being lo- j
cated, and thjs means that their local-1
ities will have better roads and schools
facilities, as well as an earlier devel
opment of the agricultural lands.
This office receives many inquiries
from prospective settlers and people
who desire to secure homesteads, and
if you should desire to sell any por
tion of your homestead, it may be pos
sible through such inquiries to put
you into communication with a pros
pective purchaser.
I would, therefore, be pleased if you
will answer, on the attaced form, the
questions which I have set forth, in
case you desire to relinquish a por
tion of your homestead, and return the
form at your earliest convenience to
me in the enclosed official self-addres
sed envelope, which requires no post
age. Very respectfully,
A. CHRISTENSEN,
Manager, Land and Industrial Dept.
