AS soon as the law was enacted
the matter was Immediately
brought to the attention of the
land department and under the
date of March l2 the following
telegram was sent out from
Washington:
commissioner Fred bennett of
the general landofice is taking
steps to put an enlarged force of
special agents into the field to
clear up the current land entries
in North Dakota, covering land
withdrawn by President Roosevelt
as coal lands.
The sundry civil appropriation

a total of $l,OOO,OOO for the en-

field work, and specifically direct

from the circle force of his own
department, from other depart

few as the result of an examination
held recently to fill vacancies in
local land Offices.

force of men, active and not afraid

make intelligent and truthful re-

entries in North Dakota, which
have been the subject of legisla-

1t is to be hoped that some-
thing will be done speedily to re-
lieve the settlers in this county.
Many proofs have been held up
here now for nearly two years and
in many cases it is imposing an
unjust hardship to our settlers.
It is not only unreasonable delay,
but in many cases financial losses
have resulted. The settlers are
certainly entitled to speedy re-

Settlers To. Get Rights.
Some two years ago an order
was issued by President Roosevelt
which withdrew from public en-
try vast amount of land in North
Dakota under the homestead law.
Rulings by the land department
followed in connection with this
order which among other things
provided that all lands located in
townships Withdrawn would have
to be inspected by special agent
before Receivers Receipts would
be issued covering proofs. The
meaning of this order and ruling
was not realized until after several
thousand proofs in this state were
suspended and apparently nothing
being done to clear it up. Delays
followed and entrJmen in many
cases commenced worrying about
their proofs and commenced to feel
the hardship imposed. This bro't
many protests to Washington thru
the states representatives, but al
though much effort was put forth
to give speedy action the Presi-
dent seemed determined to have
each case thoroughly investigated.
It was found that legislation
would be necessary to clear the
matter up, so the following bill
was finally passed and approved;
"Be it enacted by the senate and
house of Representatives of the
United States of America in con-
gress assembled, that any person
who has in good faith located.

upon making satisfactory proof of
compliance with the laws under
which such lands are claimed, re-
ceive a patent therefor, which
shall contain a reservation to the
United States of all coal in said
lands, and the right to prospect
for, mine, and remove the same.
The coal deposits in such lands
shall be subject to disposal by the
United States in accordance with
the provisions Of the coal land
laws in force at the time of such
disposal, but no person shall enter
