The pi t bill omits these cections of mineral lands and directs the Surveyor General to select and survey the umber lands: but it contains the objectionable jeature of granting to & private miming and manufacturing corporation exclust rights and privileges in the public domain which are by law denied to indivicuais. The first choice of timber land im the Territory is bestowed pon & corporation foreign to the Territory, and over which Congress has no control. The Surveyor General of the district, a public offi- cer who should bave no connection with any purchase of public land, is made the agent of the corporation to select the land: the selection to be made in the absence of all competition, aud over eleven thousand acres are towed mt the lowest price of public lands. Itis by no means certain that the substitution of alternate sections for the compact body of lands com- templated by the other billis any less injurious tof ublic interest, for alternate sections stnpy ot timber are not likely to en- bance the value of those reserved by the Government. Be this as it may, this bill be- stows & large monopoly of public lands with- out adequate con: ration, confers a right and privilege in quantity equivalent to seventy- two pre-emption rights: introduces a danger- ous system Of privileges to private trading corporations: and is an unjust discrimination in favor of traders and speculators against in- dividual settlers and pioneers. who are seek- ing bomes, and improving our Western Terri- terles. Such a departure from the long-es- tablished, wiee and just policy which has heretofore governed the disposition of the public funds, cannot receive my sanction. The objectic a8 enumerated apply to the fourth sec- tion of the bill. The first, second and third sections, providing for the appointment of a Surveyor General, Register and Receiver, are wnobjectionabie, if any necessity ives the creation of these offices, and the ex- vega ofa new surveying ‘and land district. jut they appear in this instance to be only needed as a part of the machinery w enable the Sengascmns Onapaay- neces Mane 2) iy” to secure rivileges; tor 1 am ror by the Sepersment ina Page gnon <ge Ane nexed, that there is no public necessity for a Surveyor General, Register, or Receiver in Montana Territory, since it form part of an ss surveying and land district, wherein the public es is. under present laws, transacted with adequate facility, so that the peernine eee een eek. third sec- ons would occasion needless expense to the General Government.
