had held that these school sections in
the Black Hills reserve, being unsur-
veyed at the time the forest reserve
was created, reverted to the govern
ment, though originally granted to
the state on its admission to the UNI
ion. For many years the Dakota Off
cials have been trying to get the gov
eminent to authorize an exchange of
these school sections for lands outside
the reserve, but as the government
now has practically no land available
for such an exchange it was finally de-
cided to allow Dakota to make the
new selection of land in the Black
Hills reserve as Indicated. When the
tracts for the state are chosen the
president will issue proclamation
formally transferring them to South
Dakota.

STATE Gets
MUCH LAND
Over Sixty Thousand Acres of
Government Reserve in
the Black Hills.
WILL REVERT 10 STATE As SCHOOL LANDS
Transfer Being Brought about by
State Officials assisted by Del
egatlon in Congress-.

Information from Washington late
last week was to the effect that as a
result of an agreement between Chief
Forester Pinchot and South Dakota
officials, the state will gain title to
more than $4,000 acres in the Black
Hills forest reserve, valued at several
million dollars. Attorney General
Clark and Land Commissioner Dokken
of South Dakota, who had been in
Washington the last two weeks in
conference with the forestry and in
terror department. officers concerning
this land, left for home as soon as a
satisfactory agreement was reached.
The entire South Dakota delegation
in congress participated In the nego-
tiations and rendered valuable aidIto
the state officials in obtaining the
agreement from the government to
give clear title to the lands it has
long claimed. Captain Seth Bullock
also took part in several conferences
and likewise was of much assistance
In securing the settlement.
SELECTION OF NEW LANDS.
According to the agreement it is
expected the agents of the forestry
bureau will visit the Black Hills re-
serve next summer, together With
South Dakota officials and then decide
upon what lands in reserve shall be
set apart for the state in lieu Of sec
tions 16 and 80, which originally were
granted by the enabling act as school
lands. 1t is understood the new lands
chosen for the state will be in one or
more compact bodies, instead Of sec
tions scattered Throughout the forest
reserve. Thus probably tracts of sew
eral thousand acres will be selected as
near the border of the reserve, as pcs
sfble, SO as not to interfere with the
governments plan of protecting the
Black Hills forest.
