I. j. Anderson, assistant commits
sioner Of the general land office has re.
Gently rendered q decision in a timber
culture contest case in which the con
testant alleges that the tract is not sub
ject to timber culture entry by reason
Of ITS not being entirely devoid of
timber. After citing the evidence in
the case IN which it was shown that
the section is crossed by a meanderlng
stream and that the so called timber is
confined to the slopes of the banks ON
either side; that it is dwarfed, not beng
over 25 or 80 fee. high, crooked and not
merchantable for any purpose and that
It is not: useful even for fire wood,
the commissioner concludes: 1T is not
necessary to pass on the question
whether this is timber or not as con.
templated by the L. c. law. for il it ::be
considered timber, there is not a suiiici-
ent quantity of it to defeat the entry.
In the case of James Spencer. 6 l.. d.
2l7, the Department recognized the
force of former ruling under which
the entry was made, and cited Bartch
VS.. Kennedy. 3 E. ID. 437, where it was
held that if the section contains q less
quantity of timber, that that required
to be grown by an entryman Of one
hundred and sixty acre to entitle hin,
to patent, at least one hundred and sixty
acres of it is subject to entry under
the Timber Culture law"

Here is a letter that was handed the
writer which will explain itself and
please the readers of the STAR:
DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR, OFFICE
OF U. s. SURVEYOR GENERAL, Huron
DAKOTA, April Bird 1888.
q. b. Cook, ESQ,
Smithwick. Oak.
Dear Sir:-Reccipt is hereby ac-
knowledgsd Of your letter of the Both
ult., enclosing petitions for sub-divi-
sional surveys in Fall River county.
This Office having recently been given
a small apportionment Of the appro-
priation for surveys for the present
fiscal year, notices are now posted in
viting proposals for the subdivision
of seven townships in Fall River
ty, and should congress OF. its present
session make a suitable approp iation
in season it is probable that further
surveys il. that county will be author
lied later in the season
Very Respectfully,
MAR1s TAYLOR,
Surveyor Gen.
The above looks to me like very good
and encouraging news. Now we can
go onto a piece of land and be safe and
in a few months we can put filings on
the same. Now W. expect the county
to settle up fast. But one thing looks
bad for the county and that isthis: We
have but very few schools and our
honorable board of county commissions
ers will not grant the citizens the right
TO form a new school township. Such
proceeding are a shame and a disgrace
to the county. The settlers of the soft
water belt of the county have tiled
very hard to organize a school township
for the last five or six months. We
have sent in petition after petition,
which were rejected or at least, not ac-
cepted, as 1 said before, is a shame and
disgrace, and we, the signers of said
petition take it as a direct insult. for
there was ns.earthly reason for reject
ing SAID petition. OF course they
claim to have for an excuse that a few
misguided and over otficious men liv-
ing in the little Gown of Oelrichs sent
in a remonstrance. Now then what If
they did and there were tlirty-ninc
names attached to the same. wonld it
have made any difference if. there lad
been three hundred instead Of ni:r,v-
nine. The number Of names wo,i;
not make it any better or lessen the in
Justice it has cansed.to be done. We.
the citizens of S%mithwicks and vicinity
DEFY any man or set Of men to put
their finger on any part Of II last
petition that did not conform to the
law That was not right and proper. We
asked for what was simply our right as
citizens and taxpayers. We did not
interfere with the rights of any other
town. Two of the commissioners. I'M
derstood this, or claimed they did. It
was no new thing. 1t had been talked
over time and again. Now, under the
circumstances why they refused to
grant said petition is beyond our COM
prehension. They knew that this
little remonstrance was going to make
its appearance, but what Of that?
They also knew that it did not amount
to anything for there was no law or
justice in it and still in. the face Of all
This thew refuse to grant our petition.
