dured the plivations and heroically

crowned with financial success and
the Needham ranch yielded to the
careful and intelligent husbandry and
became one of the most valuable prop
critics in that section of the country.

The finding of your office is sus-
tanned by the record and is therefore
affirmed. The right of protestant to
| the lands in controversy is, to the ex-
teut of its purchases from the original
entrymen and from the state of the
school section, protected by the proviso
of the act of April %, 1904, irrespect-
i've of whether the lands occupied by
it are described by the proper legal
subdivisions or not. But as it cannot
be determined how far he entries of
respondents will conflict with the
lands of protestant until after the re-
survey shall have been made, the en-
tries should have been suspended and
not held for cancellation.
Your decision is modified to that
extent and the entries of respondent
will be suspended until the approvab
of the resurvey, when they will he
given opportunity to complete their
entries tor the lands not in conflict or
