Settlers In tho Reserve.

A recent letter written by Congress
man Eben w. Martin to o. L. Cooper, of
Rapid City, regarding homesteads filed
on by settlers, whose filings are within
the Black Hills Forest Reservation, con-
veys the news that legislation will be
necessary in order for them to perfect
title. The letter is taken from the Ra-
pid City Journal, and is as follows:
81 find that Mr.. Herman is entirely in
favor of legislation that will bring relief
to all worthy settlers in the Black Hills
Forest Reserve and upon other reserves
where like conditions prevail. By far
the largest number of cases, however,
appear to be in our reserve. / went
over the subject very carefully with him.
He is now preparing his annual report
as commissioner of the general land
office, and in that report lie max es refer
ence to this worthy class of cases, referr-
ing especially to the Smith case, which
has been in sense q test case in the
department. He suggests that legisla-
lation should be had that would give re-
lief to every honest settler who has been
misled upon the subject of the notice, or
who for other unayoidable accident or
sufficient reasons has failed to make his
entry in time. He has outlined bill
covering the subject, and we have agreed
that We shall introduce the bill early in
the coming session of congress. I be-
lieye with the assistance we can get from
other sources that the bill ought to be-
come law. and l assure you that shall
push it with all possible yigor
upon inquiry learn that there are
probably some worthy cases also where
parties have made their entry within
the three months period. but whose final
proof and entries have been suspended
pending general investigation Of charges
Of fraud. In some of these cases be-
lieye that worthy settlers are being un-
necessarily delayed in perfecting their
titles, and the commissioner, in my
presence. issued orders to his subordin-
ates to make all such cases Special and
hurry them through to immediate con-
clusion, in order that no worthy settler
might be longer delayed in obtaining his
receipt and perfecting his title. In this
connection may say also that if there
are homestead cases where entries were
made within tho ninety day period but
final proof has not been submitted to
the Office, see no reason why such
proof could not be made at any time,
and under the directions now given by
the commissioner, the local land Office
will be instructed to receive such final
proofs and forward them for prompt at
tention.
So far as cases of real fraud are con-
cernsd of course none of us desire to
facilitate efforts at fraud nor protect the
parties who perpetrate fraud, but / am
entirely satisfied from information that
has come to me, as well as by my own
knowledge and observation of the last
twenty years in the Hills, that there are
scores of worthy settlers upon the forest
reserve who haYs been deprived ofany
reasonable opportunity to perfect their
titles, either by reason Of not receiving

himself actively In behalf of Mr.. Reder,

was prolonged week, while he took
the matter up with the administration.
Mr.. Martin saw Attorney General Knox
and the pardon attorney, Easily Smith,

erals Office and has preliminary charge
OF all pardon cases. A few days ago Mr.
Martin received telegram from Mr..

the application of Reder for a pardon
had been recommended by the attorney
general. Wednesday Mr.. Martin re-
ceived telegram informing him that

the usual programs were too classical
