Land Office Notes.
During the calendar year just
ended , the Valentine office allowed
seven hundred homestead entries ,
aggrcgniting 304,80-1 acre ? , an
average of 521 acres per entry.
The annual report of the com
missioncr of the General land office -
fice discloses the fact that patents
were issued for laud in this dis
trict , during the fiscal year ending
June 30 , 1911 , nggregatisig one-
J ' C O O 3
half million acres. This is prob
ably the largest amount of land
ever patented in this land district
in one year.
A few days ago there were nine
hundred and fifty patents remain
ing uncalled for in the local of-
iice. Just ihat many tracts of
land in this district are being held
without any- evidence of- actual
title from the government. They
hould be called for and placed on
record in the various counties.
e
An important change in the
regulations for the sale of isolated
tracts , and the sale therejf , has
just been made. Hereafter a tract
will not be subject to application
for sale unless it shall have been
vacant and t-nnounded by land
entered or otherwise disposed of ,
for at least two years prior to ap
plication. But one tract may he
included in each application for
sale. If the application is al
lowablc , the chief of iiold divis
ion , special agents , will lie asked
to report on the value of the laud ,
and if it appears that the value of
the land is more than § 1.25 per
acre , it will not be sold for less
than the value so fixed. These
regulations will apply to all appli
cations for sale filed since January
1st , but whether they will be ap
plied to applications filed before
that , time , but not yet acted upon ,
the local office is not informed. !
They will not apply to cafes in
which sale has already been or
dered.
With all the space gone and
automobile dealers clamoring for
morev the promoters of the Auto
mobile show which will be held in
Omaha February 1J ) to 2-i , are
facing a serious situation. They
want to accommodate every one
who desire to exhibit in the Xe-
braska event. Plans for a large
addition to the Auditorium are be
ing considered by the officers of
the association. In this manner
they hope to be able to provide
for the demand.
Many interesting exhibits will
be shown. Electric current will
be used to show the workings of a
motor car. The motors will be in
operation day and night , running
at full speed. The exhibition will
be an educational one , affording
visitors a chance to see how auto
mobiles are operated ;
Nebraskans are noted for their
progressi veness and their activity
along automobile developement is t
no less marked than in other lines , b
which have put Nebraska to the
front as a commercial state as well L
as an agricultural state.
