l"nder the provisions of a resolu

Sinnot of Orepon. and which was re
centlj pnsse^ by congress. for the
next decade Tx-solciers will have a
virtual monopoly on all government
land opened to homesteaders, ac
cord. ng to advices received from
American Legion hsadQuarters. The
Sinnot resolution prams ex-soldiers
preference riphts in lands on the
public domain for a period of 90
days after they are thrown open to
settlement.
Register Frank A. Boyle, of the
Juneau 1*. S land office, said that
he had not been advised of the pas
sape of the resoluuon to which ref
erence Is made, but did not doubt
that it had been passed Official
notification, he said, would probably
be received in the near future.
The Sinnot resolution provides
that before the peneral public is
permitted :o apply for public lands
thrown open wiliin the next 10
years, men with honorable discharg
es from the militaiy and naval es
tablishments shall be given a pref
erence right of entry for a period
of 90 days. This, in eiTect. extends
a law passed on February 10. 1910.
which contained the same provisions
but limited the exercise of such
rights to two years and would thus
ha\e expired the 10th of this month
In Alaska, said Mr. Boyle, no ex
service men have availed themselves
of this preference right up to this
time. The American Legion reports
a very different situation existinp
in the states and asserts "the over
whelming demand from returned
soldiers for an opportunity to take
up homesteads hat come hand In
hand with a pradual decrease in the
available tillable lands. In recent
openings reports show the ratio of
applicants to the number of farms
available has run as high as 40 to
