millions of Acres opened to settlers.

The United States Land Commissioners
Sparks has addressed q letter to the regis
ter and receiver OF the land office at Walla.
Walla, Wash, which is, in effect, a decision
withdrawing indemnity limits along
nearly every LAND grant railroad in the
United States. 1t affects not less than30,-
600, 600 acres, as estimated by the land Of
flee authorities. OF these, 12, 600, 000acres
belong to the Northern Pacific, in whose Inn
it's the test case arose. A like amount
is affected along the Atlantic d Pacific, 81
600, 600 along the Southern Pacific and e.
100000 along the Texas Pacific. Every
lane grant in Minnesota and Dakota is af-
fected by the decision. The railroads have
lad some income and not n little advan-
tage by the maintenance of In
demnity limits, reserving from public
settlement large bodies Of land lying
parallel to their grants. Tke effect was
TO compress settlement within the granted
lands. and to enhance their value. AT the
same time the roads nave been in thehabit
of selling their waiver TO the indemnity
lands whenever a settler wants to settle on
them bad enough to do so. Besides these,
still other advantages were possible in de-
ferring the section of "lien'i lands, as they
are called. In some cases rich lands have
been held out OF market for Twenty-Five
years under the claims OF railroads. Obyi-
ously they had increased ii great deal IN
value. The decision made, will eompelthe
railroads to select their lien lands promptly,
and not allow them to waitand reject poor
grades OF land in their gratis and select IN
lieu of it the best in the indemnity grants.
1t is not unliEsly that this action on the
part OF the general land Office Will greatly
stimulate immigration another year.
