APPLIES TO GREAT SIOUX
DECISION ON THE RESERVOIR ACT
Secretary OF the Interior Reyefsea
the Ruling of Local s. Dakota
Land Officers. H.. :, b .
Special to The Journal.

SpeCldl u lue JOuIudi
Chamberlain, S. D.. April 5.-Great in
terest has been created throughout the
range country in a decision of the sec
rotary Of the interior reversing the ruling
OF the officers OF the local United States
land office in holding that the reservoir
act did not apply to the coded portions
of the Great Sioux reservation.
This point has been a matter of con-
tention before the land department for
years, and there are many cases that will
be affected by the decision Of the score
tary in extending the operations Of that
act to these lands. Attorney W. J. Farm
err, of this city, alone has more than
thirty cases he has been prosecuting In
support of the reservoir act. -z..-
According to the decision entries are
therefore allowed under the reservoir act
on all lands not previously appropriated
under other entries on lands ceded by the
Sioux Indians, as in the case OF other
public lands. Under it's terms claimant
may file reservoir declaratory statemen
upon any unclaimed public lands, and the
claimant is entitled to the exclusive ben
efits Of the claim SO long as he maintains
in perfect order reservoir capable o.
holding not less than 800, 600 gallons O.
water, which must be completed within
sixty days from the time Of making filing
The filing merely operates to segregatt
the lands from the public lands, and the
title remains with the government. The
decision, which Is the most impOrtan
handed own in some time, may result II
some confusion, as many HOMESTEAD filings
have been accepted by the local Office
on lands which were claimed preViOusl.
under the reservoir act.

Naval Academy nominations.


To the Editor of The Journal
I observe with considerable surprise that
Congressman Fletcher has taken the very
unusual course of nominating a candidate to
fill the vacancy in the naval academy from
this district, without holding the customary
competitive examination. There was a time
when cadets in the military and naval acad-
enlies were generally appointed through
favoritism. When "a vacancy occurred, the
congressman simply nominated the son OF
some personal friend or political supporter,
without taking the trouble to ascertain
whether he had superior qualifications for the
position or not. But as the country became
more populous and strife for these places, In
creased and the injustice of the practice be-
came manifest. it gradually fell into dis
fepute, and for many years now, at least
in the more progressive parts of the country,
1t has been almost the universal practice for
the congressman to appoint an examination
at which all ambitious boys, eligible for the
position may compete for the prize. Then
he simply dominates the boy who is declared
to have passed the best examination, by the
committee having It in charge. That would
seem to be a fair way and the only fair way,
II the congressman represents all the people
LOT his district How else should the can
didates be selected il not by competitive
examination? AS these institutions at West
Point and Annapolis are supported by public
funds, certainly no one can have claim
upon cadetship through political or social
Influence. Even with the utmost fairness on
the part of the congressman, some boys are
shut out from chance at these prizes by the
law Each congressional district can have
but one representative in the naval academy
at time. The course of study embraces ST,
years. Boys are eligible for appointment only
between the ages of Is and ga period O
/ five years. think there is a bill before con
gress now in which this period OF eligibilit.
is still further reduced to three or foul
years. Necessarily, then, at least q sixth o
