WASHINGTON, Jan. 18.-The Secretary
of the Interior has decided question
of much Importance to settlers ON land
within the limits Of railroad grants,
where settlements will be made after
the withdrawal of lands and before the

ler's decisioe opens some land to settle
ment and entry under homestead and
