Decision on Tree Claims.

The secretary Of the interior has estab-
lished a new principle in the matter of con-
tests against timber culture entries.
Amelia Waite had made a timber culture
entry for eighty acres OF land in the
Tracy district, Minn. James Linderman
initiated contest against the al.
legged entry. charging Noncompliance
with the law in the matter
of planting and cultivating trees,
and with his affidavit of contest
filed his application for entry OF the land.
The testimony at the hearing established
the fact thas Mrs. Waite had planted and
had in good growing condition one half
the quantity OF timber required by law.
The secretary claims that she may amend
her entry DO relinquishing one half the
land she had entered. and on sub
mitting final proofs showing full
compliance with legal requirements reccj We
patents for the remainder-forty acres.
The practice heretofore has been to con.
slider q timber culture entry as an entirety
and upon evidence by a contestant show.
ing failure to make full compliance with
law, to cancel the whole entry, allowing
the contestant q preference to enter tbs
land in controversy.
