Northern Minnesota. co be opened to
settlement June Is. will not be re-
quired to furnish with their applica-
tions affidavits stating they had been
on and examined the land. They can
make their applications without hav-

ing to communication received at
the local land Office today from the
general land Office at Washington, an
swering an inquiry of the local off,
cials in regard to the matter, says the
Duluth Herald. There has been some
confusion and misunderstanding rela.
tive to this feature of the opening, 10
that the decision Of the commissioner
Is one of unusual interest at this
time.
The Washington letter reads in part
as follows:
1.-THE lands in question are ceded
Chippewa lands, the cession. examin-
alton and disposal Of which was pro-
vided for by act of Jan. IA. 1889.
Section Of said act, as amended by
the act of June q, 1902. provides for
the examination of the lands after
survey and their classification into
pine and agricultural lands shall be
disposed by the United States to
actual settlers only, under the home
stead law, with the additional condi-
tion that each settler shall pay $l25
per acre for the land, and the instruc-
tions, dated Nov. II, 1901, provided
that all persons thereafter making
applications to enter or locate public
lands under the homestead or other
laws, shall furnish an affidavit shcw.
ing that the lands applied for con-
tain no salt springs or deposits sal
in any form sufficiently to render 1t
chiefly valuable therefore.
SIN the case of Minnesota vs.. Hitch
cock, the supreme court of the United
States stated that, 1.-THE words pub
lie lands are habitually used in our
legislation to describe such as are SUBJ
ject to sale.s Or the disposal under the
general laws. It held further that the
Red Lake lands were not public lands,
having been coded by the Chippewa
Indians in trust, the lands to be sold
for the creation of .. fund for the
Indians themselves.
1.-THE lands to be opened on June Is.
1904. were coded by the Indians under
the same law and under the same con-
dit1ons as were the Red Lake lands, q
part of which is involved in the pres
pective opening.
LAS stated above, said lands are to
be disposed..of as pine and agricultural
lands and also under the general pro-
visions of the TOWNSHIP law, and there
is no authority of disposing .of them
under any other laws. I am, there
fore Of the opinion that a non-saline
affidavit is. not required in Chippewa
agricultural entries. You will be
governed accordingly.
