The law. as I understand ip now gives t tahe homesteader the right to expand his 80acre homestead under regulated conditions into a 160acre homestead. and I do not see why itis proper to allow him to squat.. without filing a notice of his extended claim. upon unsurveyed land. to the exclusion of somebody else who wants to settle on that land. without his having fled in the registers office of the district something that will show the inc iing immigrant or homesteader that the particular quarter section he wants to take up has alreadyc ile uponu bythe adjoining homesteader. Itappearsto me tatit is in danger of leading to agreat deal of confusion and difficulty.
