Subscription - SI.50 Per Year Local Notices , 5cper line per issue Entered at the Fostofflce at Valentine , Neb. . for transmission through * > the mails , as second class matter. Thursday , August 24 , 1911. The following letter from Hon. M. P. Kinkaid explains the pro visions of the act whereby home steaders can be absent from their claims until April 15 , 1912 : "For the advice of the public , especially for the cdvice of home steaders , I write to advise you of the provisions of the Act provid ing for the absence of homestead ers from their claims on account of the drouth conditions , in con templation that you will be pleased to publish the same. The area contained in all the land office dis tricts in our 6th Congressional District is included in the bill. The Act provides : " * That all persons who have hertofore made homestead entries in ( naming the different land office districts in the various states cov ered by the bill ) are hereby reliev ed from the necessity of residence and cultivation upon their lands from the date of the approval of this Act to April 15,1912 : Provid ed , That the time of actual ab sence during the period named shall not be deducted from the full time of residence required by law. ' I regret to say , the Act requires that the time of absence of which an entryman avails himself will have to be made up , the same as if he had obtained a leave of ab sence upon individual application therefore under the existing stat ute , but under this Actnoapulica- cation for leave of absence is nec essary. The Act is understood to apply to all entries , whether res idence has been commenced or not , thus extending the time in which residence may be commenc ed until April 15 , 1912. " Land Office Notes. In the contest of Charles D. Jor dan vs. Joseph S. Kalblinger , the secretary of the interior has re versed the general land office , and holds for the claimant. During the month of July the local office allowed seventy-eight homestead entries , aggregating 40,190 acres ; one hundred and forty-eight final proofs , aggregat ing 68,951 acres ; twenty-five pub lic sales , aggregating 5,229 acres. This is the largest month's busi ness done for many years , and is the largest business in final proofs which is likely to be done again in this office. Homestead entries , however , bid fair to keep up the present gait for some time. Public land sales since the first of the month have been : James M. Alderman 80 acres ; Gottlieb Mauch 120 acres in Rock county ; James Clark 40 acres , Earl Weston 120 acres in Keya Paha county ; Charles H. Djerl60 acres , Gilbert A.
