IMPORTANT LAND
DECISION MADE
DEPARTMENT GIVES LIBERAL De.
CISiON IN THE HELEN HARD
ING HOMESTEAD ENTRY.
Contains Coal Measures
Government Must Show That Entry
man Had knowledge Of Mineral
Character Of Land Before Withdraw
ais Effect Entries-Decision Of Bill
ings Land Office Is Reversed.

HELENA, MONTANA, Oct. "a
What is asserted to be the most lib
eral decision of the interior depart
ment since the administration of Secre
tary Ballinger has just been render
ed by Andriens A. Jones, first assist
ant secretary, in the case institut-
ed by the government against the
homestead entry of Helen p. Hard
ing, near Roundup. The government
claimed the land was coal in character
and offered restricted patent. This
was refused by Mrs. Harding's as
signees and an appeal was taken.
Hamilton Wright of Helena appeared
for the assignees.
The decision holds, in effect, that
where land is withdrawn for coal pur-
poses by the government, before such
a withdrawal can effect persons who
filed on the land before the withdrawal
was made, Notwithstanding final
proof was not made until such with
drawal, the government must be able
clearly to show that the entrymdn
had knowledge of the character of the
entry.
There is now a Denver case pend
ing before the supreme ecourt of the
United States involving the right CT
the secretary Of the interior to make
Withdrawals for oil and coal, and the
decision in the Montana case, while
not involving quite the same point,
has an important bearing on the max
ing of Withdrawals, it is felt.
In November, 1906, Harding made
final proof and received his final GER
ificate. In October, 1906, the tracts
were withdrawn frem coal entry. II
1910 the entry was proceeded against
on the charge the entryman knew al
the time of making final proof the lane
was chiefly valuable for coal.
The Billings Land Office found il
favor of the government, and wa:
sustained by the former commissions
who based his action upon the testl
mony of a mining expert and upol
reports of the geologic survey. Thes'
reports were not even made until afte
the final certificates for the tract hat
been issued.
There is nothing disclosed in thes
reports of the geological survey" say
the assistant secretary, "or by tn
show that the facts upon which sal
reports are based were known at tn
date of the issuance of final certif
Gates on this entry, or that the fact
then known were such as to charge
person with knowledge of the Goa
character of any portion of the lant
This being true, it is believed that sal
reports do not afford a proper basi
for the determination of the know
character of the land at the date {
the final entry They will accordin,
ly be disregarded by the departmer
in it's adjudication of the case.
"The department is clearly of tn
opinion that this evidence, which is a
the government had to offer to sustai
it's charges, does not sufficiently ten
to show that, at the date of the iss
ance of final certificate on this entl
the land was known to be chiefly va
liable for COAL" He then holds tt
appellants are entitled to an unr
stricted patent.

AT THE GRAND PICTURE SHOW
O.


 The Penalty 'l01 Bison,' kept the audience interested last night. This film is very exciting; seeing the Amer icans and Indians in the hottest of fights. Indians trying to get into the American stockade by disgusting them selves as American soldiers. But the Yankee soldiers knew it all and bom- barded every Indian in sight. This picture is worth the admission price alone.

JACK ROSE BLAMES REFORMERS IN IFS
 CHURCH ADDRESS


 South Norwalk, Sept. 10-'The un- derworld will probably die for lack of population when the reforners of our state reformatories learn to be the living example of what they preach and not practice said Jack Rose, the former gambler and RosenthaI witness in an address here last night.
 Rose took the lecture platform for the benefit of the East Norwalk Fpis- copaI church. Nearly 500 persons heard him.
 Only one reference was made to the RosenthaI affair, that being when Rose said that of the eight who took part in the murder, six had spent terms in reform schools for boys. Rose said that the underworld is populated by graduates of reformatories and pris- ons Boys and men liberated after terms in these places, do not receive the proper chance to make good, said Rose.
