quired to remain upon their homesteads
before making commutation final proofa.
John 1.. Burke, register of the I'nlted
States land office at Rapid City, has Issued
a letter of Instruction to the thousands of
homesteaders who at present hold govern
ment land In South Dakota on which they
have not as yet submitted finsl proof.
Under the old system, after a settler
made entry he or she had a period of six
months to establish a residence on the
land covered by the entry. nd when they
made flnal proofs this preliminary' period
was counted constructive residence, and
with an additional residence of eight months
more fourteen months in all they were
enabled to make final proof.
Register Burke calls attention to the fact
that in the case of all homestead entires
made since November 14 901, a full four
teen months' actual residence Is required
befoCe the person who made an entry will
be eligible to submit their finsl proof. Thus
the six months' constructive residence,
which had In the past been considered In
reference to commutation proofs. Is elim
inated. Alleged Forger later Arrest.
