BITTER ROOT LAND
OPEN FOR ENTRY
Nearly Four Townships Between
Burnt Fork and Three rliIe to be
Thrown Open Soon.

Nhssoula. Dec. 31.-Considerable
interest is being ma infested in the
tract of land between Three Mile and
Burnt Fork in Ravalli county, soon to
be thrown open to entry at the Miss
oula land office. The land, much of
which is heavily timbered, is discrib-
ed as the west half of township 8. the
west half of township 10 Id of all
townships IL and Il Of range Is. 1t
is thought that the state will make an
effort to secure large part Of these
lands The state has priority of
right to select land tracts for 60 days
after the d ats are filed in the land
office at Missoula.
From information now at hand it IS
believed that the plat will be filed in
March or April. The Northern Pa
citic Railway company and the Big
Blackfoot Milling company are also
said to be after these lands Recent
ly two timber estimators employed by
these companies were inspecting the
timber ON the odd sections of the land.
It is thought that If the railway COM
pany secures title to the odd Sec
tions, it will sell the lard to the lum-
Der company and this is given as the
reason for the visit of the timber es-
tlmators.
Reports are to the effect that the
railway company's man made an
estimate nearly twice as large as that
made by the saw mill estimator
Authorities on Bitter Root lands give
it as their opinion that the railway
company will not be entitled to any
of the tract where the survey IS ac-
copied. They assert that the land
grant Of the Northern Pacific states
that lands included in an Indian Res
ervation are not incl AIDED in the grant.
The Bitter Root Valley, south Of the
Lolo, was formerly an Indian reser-
walton. The railway people make a
claim that the restriction in the grant
referred only to lands surveyed at the
time, of the grant.
The Western news. [volume] (Stevensville, Mont.) 1890-1977, 1903-01-07

Much of the more heavily timbered
portions of the even sections has
been selected by holders of script,
probably in the interest of the Big
Blackfoot company. A discision rem
dered by the general land office
about two months ago is to the effect
that lands of the character of those in
question cannot be covered by script.
A number Of good claims have been
settled upon by squatters, and it is
generally agreed that their claims
will not be effected by any of the
above. The lands are valuable, and
the struggle for their possession
promises to be warm one.
