DECISION AFFIRMED.
The local land Office has received off,
cial notice from the general land office
at Washington that it's decision in the
appeal of George E. Staring has been
affirmed On August Is, Staring made
application to file under the homestead
law on land in Mckinley county. The
application was rejected because the
land was included in that which had
been selected by the territory for uni
versity purposes. Staring appealed and
said that he settled in the land prior to
provements on it. He had not been
able to have it surveyed until just be-
fore filing his application and he asked
that the decision be reversed. The
Washington authorities say the records
show the land was surveyed May 81
June A. 1881, and the plat was filed on
October following. On September Il,
1900, the territory made the selection of
land which was approved September 20,
1900 There was no objection or protest
made and the land office can give no re-
lief to Staring. He will be advised of
the decision and Of his right to take
another appeal.
