Important Land Decision.

On August I'd, the Secretary of the
Interior decided the case of Guilford
Miller against the Northern Pacific
Railway in favor of the settlers. The
Secretary's decision covers the case of
at laest 1000 settlers in Washington
Territory whose land the railroad cor
poration has tried to hold. All these
settlers will be fully protected by this
decision.
The Secretary holds, briefly, that
when the map of the main line was
filed and accepted in 1870, the general
route was fixed, and statutory with
drawal under Section 6 of the granting
act became operative. The statutory
tvsissaslass~s..s=sssytss ssrv~ssra.se.r
operation, could not again be exer-
cised, its authority being exhausted.
The central route being once fixed,
the company could not amend or
change except by legislative authority.
AS no such authority was given the
attempt to change the general route
by the map of 1872 was without
authority of law. As Miller's land
was not within the limits of the stattl-
tory withdrawal, under the lawful act
of 1870, it remained public lands, sub
ject to settlement, Notwithstanding
the filing of the map of 1872 and the
attempted withdrawal of the land by
the Commissioner of the General Land
Office.
The Secretary holds that section
of the granting act to the company
absolutely prohibits the withdrawal by
the executive of lands of the line ol
road from the operation of the home
stead and pre-emption laws and that
in attempting to make withdrawal o.
lands for indemnity purposes the
Commissioner did that which was pro
hibited. The railroad company select
ed Miller's land as indemnity for lant
lost within the Yakima Indian reser
vation, but the Secretary says mas
much as the Supreme Court said, il
the Butts case, that fee simple title t.
lands within an Indian reservation
passed by the grant to the company
subject to right of occupancy by tn
Indians, the company is not entities
to indemnity for lands within sal,
reservation, and which have passed t.
fit by grants.
/ The effect of the decision is ia
reaching, and will effect about go
cases now pending in the General Lam
Office, and probably the claims O
many settlers which have not beel
, reached yet.
The denial of the right of the com
pany to indemnity for lands within
the Yakima Indian reservation is sal
to be equally applicable to other In
l dian reservations along the line O
: road, and will have the effect of reduc
, fng the indemnity claims of the com
pany very largely, probably to tn
> extent of million and half acres.

The Senate is very close, and if Mr..
Morton were elected Vice President it
is quite possible that he might be
called upon to decide political ques-
tions by his casting vote. This would
often be exceedingly embarrassing.
For instance, in 1880 Mr.. Morton voted
to put salt and printing paper ON the
free list OF course he could not do so
again consistently with the Chicago
platform, and yet it would be painful
to be compelled to vote against his
convictions. We do not think that
Mr.. Morton ought to be placed in so
painful q position.

McKinley's head is the levelest in the

they would expose the protection fraud

SIOUX FALLS, June 29-Judge G. s.
Palmer, who has the humble bee for the
delegateship buzzing in his bonnet, has
not lost hopes since Grigsby carried
MiDnehaha county against him. The
judge says Pettigrew is using Grigsby
as tool for Clifford, and when the con-
vention meets this will be shown. The
judge looks for his strength from North
and Central Dakota, with a few votes
from the Black Hills country. If he can
hold this vote success is assured, but
the knowing ones say he cannot. 1t is
also known here that Pettigrew has as
pirations for the United States senate
when Dakota becomes state, and
should Grigsby be nominated it would
most assuredly throw the PickereI
statesman in the background and make
Grigsby prominent factor in the race.
1t therefore looks plausible that Petit
grew is forninst Grigsby, and who could
blame him?

GRAND FORKS, June 29.-The last re-
port issued from the department of sta
tistics for Dakota shows that the land
Office at Grand Forks does more bust
ness than any other Office in the terri
tory. From Jan. to May 81, 1888, there
were filed at the Grand Forks land
Office 294 prescriptions, 355 homestead
and 2S9 tree claim entries, covering in
all $50, 451 acres. The entries at Fargo
for the same period amounted to but
1886 acres; Devils Lake, s., 375 acres;
WatertOwn, 100, 1876; Huron, 81, S25; Bis
marck, 60, 1862. The homestead entries
made at Grand Forks are:
MORE THAN DOUBLE
that made at any other Office in the ter
ritory, and as the homestead entries
represent nothing but bona fide settlers,
it is gratifying to Grand Forks people to
know that SO many are being made The
bulk of the immigration coming to the
Red River valley this year is locating in
western Walsh, Pembina and Cavalier
counties-three of the best counties in
the territory. Grand Forks has more
tlllable, developed and settled country
tributary to her than any other city in
the territory, and this land district is
receiving more immigration this year
than any other district in the territory,
all of which argues we'll for the Forks.

RAPID CITY, June 29.-In court here
this week the people are treated to
novel spectacle, that of the mayor de-
tending suit brought by the city, in
which valuable property is involved. 1t
is one of the famous-in the Black Hills
-townsite cases, in which the city OF
Rapid City sues David III. Clark ct al. to
recover possession of and title to lot
of land in the original townsite, decided
to Clark by Bentley B. Benedict while
the latter was acting as probate judge
Clark's case is but one of them, the
whole covering ten blocks of what is
NOW VALUABLE LAND,
and which, if the city wins, will be de-
voted to school fund purposes. This is the
third time the cases have been tried in
the district court. The city has won
each of the preceding times, and the de-
PENDANTS have succeeded in securing an
order for new trial from the supreme
court. Last fall one of the cases, that
against S. r. Blake ct al, was tried for
the third time in the district court and
won. 1t is now pending on appeal to
the territorial supreme court, and the
chances are very strong in favor Of the
city's winning because of the fact that
the defendant has announced his inten-
ton of abandoning the suit. The other
cases are analogous, and if the city wins
the school fund will be the richer by
about $4,000 to 500, 000-a magnificent
endowment.
