STATE ISN'T SATISFIED.
Wants Some of the Red Lake swamp
----t~- Lands. ~ 49,


State Auditor Dunn and Attorney General
Childs were busy yesterday afternoon. The
former received early dispatches from Sena-
tors Nelson and Davis. to the effect that the
state Of Minnesota would get sections 16
and 3S Of each township in the Red Lake res
eryation when 1t is thrown open for settle
ment on the LIST Of May. While this was
no more than has been expected, on ac-
count OF the precedent recognized in the
opening Of the other reservations, still the
announcement was of more than ordinary in
terest in view Of Secretary Hoke Smiths de-
cision OF Saturday, overruling the states
claim to the swamp lands within the reser-.
vation.
The states contention, or one of it's con-
tentions, has been that inasmuch as lands
within such reservations were held to come
under the allotments for school purposes,
that the same rule should prevail as respect
ed the assignment of the swamp lands to the
state by grants, as it contended, practically
parallel. The department at Washington.
however. has made a distinction, which is
clearly set forth by the two announcements
which were made with only a Sabbath day
between them.
Late yesterday afternoon Attorney Gen.
eral Childs said that while 1t had not been
determined what the next step of the state
would be, looking toward the preservation of
Its rights. as claimed. yet there would un-
doubtedly be some action taken. This may
take the form Of an application to the secre-
tary for a reopening of the case.
