LAND AGREEMENT FAVORS STATE South Dakota Commissioner &ates Conditions In Forest Reserve. PIERRE, §. D., Jan. 11.—(Special. »—State Land Commissioner Dokken has returned from his trip to Washington, where he went to look after the rights of the state in regard to the state school lands In the Black Hills forest reserve. He says the agreement reached between the representa- tives of the state and the government offi- clals was even more favorable in fact to the state than they were shown to be in the report of the conference sent out from Washington. The government departments acknawledged the Tights of the state and provided the manner of selecting lieu lands by the state to take the place of the lands scattered over the reserve. While the right of the state to make selections for lands which have been lost through home stead tilings on the state lands by squatters who went on the lands prior to survey are-held n abeyunce, to be settled by further action all other lands are conceded as belonging to the state. They will be allowed to select the amount of land contained In sections 16 and 3 on the reserve. The selection may be made In one or two solid tracts or in smaller tracts of not less than a sec- tlon. It is the dgsire of the State depart- ment to make the selection In as compact a tract or tracts as possible, and one the will allow the selections to be set out of the forest reserve entirely, and give the state complete control without in any way interfering with the government forest service, While the State department will place the selections wll in one tract if it can be practically arranged, it will be cut into smaller iracts if the right kind of selections cannot be made in the one tract. It Is expected that the whole matte; will be cleared up early the coming sum- mer and the vexing factor of the control of state lands within the forest reserve be eliminated.
