Has the Luscious Flavor
cf Ripe Fruit A
Wonderful Chew
BEST PLUG TOBACCO MADE
The natural juices of choice to
bacco leaf have an appetizing,
wholesome relish and the only
way you can get their full benefit
is to chew good plug tobacco.
The choicest Hurley leaf pressed
into golden-brown plugs of Old
Kentucky makes a chew that has
never been equalled for mellow
quality and pleasing taste.
The pressing of Old Kentucky
is done so slowly that not a par
ticle of the juice escapes, so that
every chew of Old Kentucky is
full of the wonderful fruity flavor
and wholesome quality that nature
put into the leaf.
You simply can't get so much
delicious appetizing flavor out of
any other chew.
Try a ioc plug of Old Kentucky
and you'll get more solid tobacco
enjoyment out of it than you ever
had before. Ask your dealer (or
Old Kentucky.
Classification of lauds as to irriga
llity: Secretary of the Interior Lane an
nounces that during June more than
SiOO.OOO a.. ores wore designated as
nonirrigable and rendered Biibject to
entry under the provisions of the en
larged homestead act, sometimes re
ferred to as the double homestead
act, as entry made thereunder en
titles a homesteader to 320 acres in
stead of 160 acres, as provided und-r
the old homestead laws. If a settler
has already filed on ISO acres under
the former homestead laws he may
acquire an additional 160 acres under
the enlarged homestead act, provid
ed the specific tracts which he desires
to enter have been classified by tM
Geological Survey as nonirrigable and
designated by the secretary of the In
terior.
Tli lands classified during the
month as subject to entry under the
enlarged homestead act have to some
extent already been entered or pat
ented. To determine, therefore.
what particular legal subdivisions in
any land district are vacant neces
sitates an examination of the records
at the respective local land offices.
In Arizona, more than 75.000 ac
res. located In the southeastern part
of Maricopa county, and the north
central part of Pinal county, were
designated. Practically all of this
land is available for new settlers as
the townships Involved are unsur
veyed. Entries are not accepted on
unsurveyed lands but squatters
rights may be secured by residence
and cultivation.
In California, more than 140.000
acres of land, located in two counties
In the northeastern part of the state
and in six counties in the southwest
ern rart were designated. Some of
the areas included are in the follow
ins counties: Kern county, 49,000
acres: San Luis Obispo county, 43.'
000 acres; Santa Barbara county, 12
000 acres; Lob Angeles county, 10,'
000 acres. The greater proportion
of these areas is available for new
settlers.
In Kansas, more than 4.200 acres
were designated in the western part
of the state. None of the land desig
nated, however, is open to entry as
ill of the areas classified were in re
snonse to specific requests.
In Montana, more than 41,000 ac
res were designated In all parts of
i he state. Practically all of this
land, however, has already been filed
upon.
In Oregon, more than 113.000 ac
res, distributed throughout eleven
counties In the eastern and central
A .1
parts or the state were n'signaiei.
The greater proportion of the lands
classified are now entered, but it is
believed that some of the areas in
the following counties are still avail
able for new settlers: Malheur coun
ty. 1 0,000 acres; Grant county, 20,
ooo acres; Wallowa county. 20.000
aer's: Sherman county. 12.160 acres,
and Wheeler county..2,r00 acres.
In South Dakota, practically 100.
000 acres, scattered throughout the
central and western parts of the
"Mite, were designated. More than
two-thirds of the lands classified are
now entered or patented by home
sieadors. General classifications were
made, however. In the following
counties, parts of which are free from
claim: Custer county. 19.000 acres;
Harding county, 1T..O00 acres; Butte
count v. 30.000 acres.
In Utah, more than 2f?.3(0 acres
were designated, of which approxi
mately 1.200 acres were designated
tind'-r section 6 of the act which does
not require residence on the land. As
only a limited area is allowed to be
! . plated under this provision, spe
cific requests alone wen- classified, so
that none of this area is open to en
trv. The remainder of the land des
ignated in Utah, namely 25.000 acres,
was classified under the general pro
visions of the act which require res
Mno on the land, but only a very
small percentage of this area (locat-
ed entirely In San Juan county) Is
opeit to entry.
I In Washington, all of the land des-
ignated is within the diminished Col
i vi'le Indian Reservation, opened by
Presidential Proclamation, dated May
3, 1916. The designation was made
"iTective September 5. 1916, as none
of the lands In the reservation will be
subject to entry until that date. The
area classified as nonirigable Is prac
tically 355,700 acres.
In Wyoming, practically 55,000 ac
res of land were designated In nine
counties throughout the state. How
ever, only a small proportion of this
area is still available for new settlers
as only a very few general class! flca
tions were made, as follows: Johnson
county. 38,000 acres; Sheridan coun
ty. 5.200 acres; Big Horn county,
4,100 acres.
Classification of lands as to miner
al and power vah a:
As a result of classifications effect
ed during the preceding months a
large acreage of lands in Montana
heretofore included in coal land with
drawals was released from such with
drawals. This a reage totals nearly
1.893.000. Sma" r areas of lands
within coal with Vawals. amounting
to 2,856 acres In New Mexico and
, 12.246 acres in v.omlng. were also
' restored to entry as results of classl
j fications. Other minor restorations
; of lands In water-power reserves
I bring the total restorations during
! the month to nearly 1,908.000 acres,
j equal to somewhat more than 4 per
! cent of the total area withdrawn for
icoal classification.
