de q preclude the department from IN
quiring whether the improvements
placed on IT, % land were in fact for the
personal use and benefit of the benefci-
ary.
In the disposition of case it is COM
petsnt for the department to consider
and determine all questions presented
by the record.
Questions as to the preference right
can only arise on tho application to
exercise such right, and should not be
decided prior to that time.
An applicat on to contest, filed dur
ing the pendency OF proceedings against
the claim in question, should be
suspended until the disposition of he
pending suit. and il such suit results in
the cancellation of said claim the appli-
cation of the second contestant must
then be refused.
One who by stipulation agrees to be
impieaded in pending proceeding with
"the same force and effect as though
he originally had been made party
thereto, can not he heard to object to
the authority of the department to pass
on the validity of his claim thus pre-
sented. CD
Sioux half breed scrip is intended by
the statute rs evidence of purely per-
sonnl right IN the half breed to locate
and receive patent Tor the number of
ac es named therein, and can not he
nsed as means to secure title to lands
except for the sole benefit of the half
breed himself.
A location made by ono acting in his
own interests, and not for the use and
benefit OF the haf reed, is III contra
vention of the statute under which the
scrip is issued.
The right to locate this scrip Oh un-
surveyed land can only be exercised
where the half breed has made improve
ments on such land, and the improve
ments in such case are condition pre-
cedent to the location, and must be
made for the use and benefit of the half
breed.
Circular regulations, not in conflict
with the statue under which they are
.ssued, have all the free and effect of
law.
The validity Of all rights claimed and
set mp by adverse parties may be pro-
perly determined on the final disposi.
tion of the case.
Repayment can not be allowed where
presumption entry is cancelled on
Gccount of the false testimony of the
claimant.
Odd sections, or parts of such sec
tons, within the primary limits OF the
grant to the Northern Pacific Railroad
company, that are excepted from the
grant by exi, ting entries, are properly
subject to disposal only Mt the double
minimum price, if such enteries are
subsequently cancelled.
An application of the state in 1889,
for the reinstatement of university
selections cancelled in 1882 on the gov
ernor's relinquishment, comes too late
for favorable action, where most of the
lands have in the mean time been sold
by the United States.
The right OF the company under the
grant of July %, 1866, attaches to the
granted sections when the map design
ating the line of road is filed with the
secretary of the interior, and accepted
by that officer.
Where one alienates portion of the
land covered by his cash certificate,
before patent. issues, he does 80 at his
peril, for if the reviewing officers sub
sequently find the final proof so unsat-
isfactory that it must be wholly reject

then truthfully make the affidavit
required by section 1921. II. S., and his
entry must in consequence be cancelled.
The practice of the department in
passing upon applications for the sur
vey of isolated tracts of land, formed
since the original survey OF the township
is to refuse such application, where the
commissioner recommends such action,
and where objection is made to the sur
vcy, unless the refusal Of tho applica-
tion denies to the applicant right un-
der the general land laws.
