The commlisaloner was of the oplulon that the recent declslons by the secretary had tended to reverse the usual practice of the land offise in such cases: Namoly, to withdraw lands comprised within the granted and ludemunity limits upon fillng of the map of definite location. In his decision the s:eretary denies this comsiraction {8 to be placed upon his former decislons and holds the matter {s open for conslderation of the department, After quoting. granting acts of 1864 and 1870, the secretary calls attention to the fac that they do not provide elther specifically or generally for ex- ecutive withdrawal of land within elther the granted or indemnity limits, The power of the department to with. draw granted lands without such di- rection {8 beyend question, says the secretary, and aathority to withdraw indemnity lands maust follow and in fact such authority has been repeat- edly exerclsed. The company clalm that the acts operate as absoluce to the exclusion of the right of entry in both granted and indemnity lands from the moment of fixing the route of definite locatior.
