Unable to Agree.

A Journal special from Washington
says: There is hitch in the interior de-
partment over the new land law rules. Of
ficials of the department are unable to
reach an agreement over certain import
ant provisions of the new bill For this
reason 1t is likely that the rules will not be
made public for several days.
From an inside source it is learned that
the important points of the dispute are as
follows: First, shall the department now
take notice of any contest pending in the
general land Office which was fled in the
local Office more than two years after the
final proof was made on entries; second,
what disposition shall be made of interven-
ing rights acquired by persons who filed
on lands after the cancellation of entries,
which were so Cancelled without notice to
the purchaser or the mortgages.
Those familiar with land Office affairs
can readily see that decisions upon the two
questions are of vital Importance to settler,
mortgages and the government. Under
the new law it is provided that, regardless
of compliance by the original entryman
with the law, if final proof was accepted
and the land passed by mortgage or deed
to third party, the integrity of title can
not be questioned. The mortgages and
purchasers are now in good faith making
application to reinstate entries cancelled
before March 3, but on some lands filings
were made by other parties between the
cancellation of the first entry and the pas
sage of the new law. All this brings up
another important point, viz: What shall
be done with the intervening filings? This
is the point that is giving the department
officials great deal of worry.
Registrations under the new townsite
law are also being held up until decision
of the supreme court in the case of Sieb.
bold VS.. David can be considered.
