HOMESTEAOS IN THE
FOREST RESERVES
On account of numerous Inquiries
from tho public and an apparent mls
nnderslanding on the part of many
people with reference to the applica
tion of the homestead law within the
national forests, W. fi. Welgle, forest
supervisor of the Tongnss and Ohu
gneh national forests, with headquar
ters at Ketchikan, states that since
June 11, 1906. all land within the na
tional forests not needed for public
purposes and more valuable for agri
culture thnn for any other purpose,
has been open for homesteading In
units not exceeding 160 acres, and
that thousands of homesteaders have
already take an advantage of this law
within the national forests of Alaskn
nnd the states.
In Alaska, he says, that up to No
vember, 1914, seventy-five applica
tions have been received for home
steads In the Tongnss national forest
and 115 applications In the Chugach
national forest, and that he had made
a preliminary survey of all of these
claims and that favorable reports were
submlted on all of the claims except a
few that had been rejected on account
of conflicting with claims of prior
rifdbt. He states that, tho homestead
er on unsurveyed lands within the
national forest has the advantage over
the homesteader on unsurveyed lands
outside of tho national forest.
First—That the forest service since
1913 makes the survey for patent free
of charge, thus saving the claimant
from one to two hundred dollars, nine
of such surveys haviing been made on
the Tongass national forest during the
summer of 1914 and nearly twice that
number will be ready for survey on
the Tongnss and Chugach forests dur
ing the summer of 1915.
Second—Outside of the national for
est tho law requires that the boun
dary lines of a homestead be run In
cardinal directions, north, south, enst
and west, wldle intflde the national
forests the boundary lines may be run
to suit the shape of the tract of ag
ricultural land.
Since there is very little land sec
tionized either inside or outside of
nntlonal forests In Alaska the mak
ing of the patent survey by the forest
service free of charge is a decided ad
vantage to the homesteader. The
requirements of the law for proving
up on a homestead are the same In
side of a national forest as they are
outside, and if the homestead law is
reasonably complied with, the secur
ing of a patent is certain, regardless
as to whether it is inside or outside
of a national forest.. He states most
emphaticaly that the forest service not
only now, but always, has Invited le- i
gitimnte settlement within the na
tional forests and that all statements !
to the contmry have either been made
from lack of information or a desire
to misstate the facts. He also states
that all forest officers will always be
glad to give information to the public
relative to homesteads or any other
national forest business, and he In
vites the public to prove this state
ment by seeing a forest ranger or
writing to the forest supervisor at
Ketchllkan.

THIS ALASKAN READY
FOR “THE BIG SMOKE"
A cartoon in the Seattle Post-Intelll
gencer, has made a hit In the North—

subject in which Alaskans are deeply
interested. The cartoon i8 on the the
PI'S first page. Its heading is:
“Now watch Our Smoke!”
A sourdough-ey looking individual
with mackinaw coai and broad-brim
med hat. with a hatband labeled “Ala
aska.” is holding a smoking pipe In
his right hand, with the bowl repre
senting the U. 8. navy, and carving
on the stem showing “U. S. A. rail
road.” In the left hhnd the North
erner holds a sack of “tobacco” mark
ed “Matanuska coal, approved for
naval use."
The Alaskan has the smile of real
satisfaction.

tion of liability filed by the Canadian

ion with the Princess Victoria.
The sum specified is said to be the
tctual worth of the lost vessel. The

The St. Paul Fire & Marine Insur
mce Co petitioned that the C. P. It.
!>e required to pay all claims for the -
osb of the Admiral Sampson. The

itanding still. js
