Persons entitled to make entry under this preference right will be
permitted to do so at any time during said period of thirty days
following the opening without previous registration, and without regard
to the drawing herein provided for, and at the expiration of that period
the lands in said "neutral strip" for which no entry shall have been
made will come under the general provisions of this proclamation.
The intended beneficiaries of the provision in the said acts of
Congress, approved, respectively, March 2, 1895, and June 6, 1900, which
authorizes a qualified entryman having lands adjoining the ceded lands,
whose original entry embraced less than 160 acres, to enter so much
of the ceded lands as will make his homestead entry contain in the
aggregate not exceeding 160 acres, may obtain such an extension of his
existing entry, without previous registration and without regard to the
drawing herein provided for, only by making appropriate application,
accompanied by the necessary proofs, at the proper new land office at
some time prior to the opening herein provided for.
