LAND QUESTION DECIDED.
First Comptroller Matthews has given
an opinion to the Commissioner OF the
/ General Land Office that the act OF Octo-
Der 2S, 1888, making appropriations for
the survey of public lands during the
fiscal year ending June 80, 1889, does
not limit, appeal or suspend the provis-
ions of sections 2, 404 and 2,411, Revised
Statutes, and, consequently, is no legal
bar to the surveying of public lands in
Oregon.
