HOMESTEAD LAW
MAY BE ALTERED
, Encouraging New* Regarding the
Homestead Law I* Received
From Delegate Sulzer.
The following telegram from Dele
gate Sulzer was received by the
i N’enana Commercial club yesterday:
i Washington, D. C. Aug. 23, 1918
: Commercial Club,
| Nenana, Alaska.
“Public land committee tod ly un
; animously authorized me to report
■for passage without amendment my
bill to abolish eighty rod strip be
tween homesteads along navigable
waters in Alaska. Havj received
very favorable joint report from
the secretary of interior and the
secretary of agriculture and bill w;ll
become law as soon as can go through
proceedure, which may lake some
time, 'owing to war matters having
right of way. This' law will relieve
many of our most worthy citizens
from an unjust burden, and will be
means of causing more rapid settle
ment and development of territory,
especially at close of war; this will
enable many to secure patents to
homesteads for which applications
have been pending for years.
. “SULZER,
Delegate.”
in accordance with the regulations
under the homestead law now in
force: “No entry may extend more
than 160 rods (one half mile) along'
the shore of any navigable or other
waters, and along such shore a1
' space of at least eighty rods shall i
be reserved from entry between all ;
such claims. The use of such space J
1 of 80 rods between claims abutting I
on any navigable stream, inlet, bay,!
gulf or seashore bay be granted
! by the seceretary of the interior to
citizens, associations of citizens, or
corporations, for landing and wharv- j
es, the public being allowed access 1
thereto.”
The term “navigable waters” is
defined by the act of May 14, 1898
to include all tidal waters up to
| the line of ordinary high tide and
; all non-tidal waters navigable, in
fact up to the line of high water
mark and the expression “other
waters” is held to include all waters
of sufficient magnitude to require
'meandering under the manual of
surveys, or which are used as a
i
passageway or for spawning purposes
; by salmon or other sea-going fish.
The strict application of the laws
j will work a great hardship on those
! who have taken up homestead l*.ta
. tions along the river, especially in
I the Fairbanks district, as it will
I mean that they will have to give up
! improved and cultivated lands rbut
I ting on the waterfront to permit
| the 80-rod reservation between
i all claims.
I
The news^ contained in the dele
gate’s telegram will be welcomed
by all homesteaders who -ill be
affected by the amendment which he
is trying to put through for the
benefit of the Alaskan farmer
Albert Lundborg, wha has just
completed a grading contract on the
D line, came to town last night with
his crew of men. He will await the
arrival of his teams and may take j
a grading contract on the Nenana- j
Fairbanks line.

At the Nenana townsite office
at 8 o’clock last night, the men
| elected by popular vote to represent
j the interests of Nenanaites as an ad
| visory board met for the rurpose
j of organizing. The citizens elected
j to form the advisory board are!

: at 8:15 p. m., all members of the;
board being present, Mr. Davis de- j
: dined the chairmanship and M. J. I
i Cooney was then eletced chairman. !
H. B. Joseph was elected secretary
; of the board.
On the arrival of Mr. Grigg, the
townsite manager, regular business
. was taken up.
Mr. Grigg undertook to furnish
I the board with a budget for the
! present fiscal year, for their in
formation and guidance.
| The board approved the plan to
hire a special watchman at a rate
of pay of $150 per month; the duties 1
of the position to include flue in
spection and general charge of
the fire apparatus. Applications
for the position to be made to the
townsite manager, subject to the ap
proval of the board.
The board approved the plan of
giving sleeping quarters in the
townsite office to such as may be
accommodated there, in return for
their services in ease of fire, on the
fire apparatus.
The townsite manager agreed to
see that the telephone exchange
handled fire alarms in a thoroughly
systematic manner, so that everyone
connected might be immediately
notified.
The question of water service
was discussed at length, and left
for future action.
The troublesome question of "’the
dog nuisance was brought up, but
no solution was found, it being ob
vious that the citizens failed to ap
preciate the gravity of the matter
and did not co-operate in abating
the trouble, as they insisted on let
ting their own dogs run at large
more or less, while complaining that
others followed the same course.
On motion the meeting adjourned.
