Mr. Dear Mr. Evans: I am pleased to inform you the three year residence homestead bill was this morning approved by tho President. As yet, it is not practicable to send you a copy, but it is the duty of the Secretary of the Interior to mail each existing entryman a copy of the act within thirty days and to advise him of his privilege to elect, within sixty days thereafter, whether he will make proof under the old or the new act. My pro positions to make the act apply to exist ing as well as future entries, and to allow entrymen their choice of making proof under either the old or new law, were finally adopted. Even after the conferees had agreed, I secured a re consideration, resulting in the adoption of a clause explicitly stating that the cultivation equircments do not apply to Nebraska entries under the one-section a,ct. The only material change made in our one-section act is that the residence period is reduced to three years. It has been a long siege and I am glad it is over. Cordially yours, M. P. KlNKAlD N. B.
