Young met with the Board relative to sub-marginal lands, and upon motion duly passed the follow ing Resolution was adopted: RESOLUTION WHEREAS, the United States Gov ernment opened up for homestead entry the Fort Peck Indian Reserva tion for settlers around 1915; and WHEREAS, the money received from the sale of said land to home stead entrymen was turned over to the Fort Peck Indians; and WHEREAS. During the drouth years, it was found necessary to purchase sub-marginal lands from white settlers who did not have the necessary unit in order to make a decent living; and WHEREAS, Said land is now own ed by the United States Govern ment; and WHEREAS, a bill has been intro duced In the United States Senate (S. B. No. 917), which would turn over these sub-marginal lands pur chased by the Government back !•• the Fort Peck Indians; and WHEREAS, It is necessary that the sub-marginal lands that were pur chased by the Government be used to relieve a situation among the white settlers of the Fort Peck Indian Reservation in such a wav that the white settlers would be given the opportunity to buy said sub-marginal lands for the purpose of rounding out their units, whether it be for additional grazing lands, or for additional farming lands in order to make their units the size they should be in order to en able them to carry on and make a living for themselves and thc’r families and educate their children; and WHEREAS, the need of this sub marginal land is necessary in order to relieve the tax burden now on the white settlers of the Fort Peck Indian Reservation so that this land should not be given back to the In dians as there is a lot of Indian land on this Reservation and-the Indians have already been phld for this land; and WHEREAS, We had acquired some tax deed lands during those unusual dry years, and now since climatic conditions have returned to normalcy, we have been helpful by the sale of tHhse lands to balance out proper units for the remaining farmers and ranchers: and WHEREAS, Our Country is at War and there is a serious shortage of food and fibre, and we have k. 000 acres of the above lands on the Fort Peck Indian Reservation, an proximately one-half of which i< good agricultural land. This agri cultural land has been laying ldl“ since th. date of purchase by the Government, and growing nothing but weeds, which lands at this time should be plowed up and brought back Into production of flax and other war crops that are so vital to our war of fort. BE IT. THEREFORE, RESOLVEI’, by the Board of County Commis sioners of Roosevelt County, Mon tana, at their regular session this sth day of August, A. D. 1044, that we requ. st that this land purchased under the sub-marginal land pur chasing program be turned over ‘o the General Land Office of the Uni ted States for the purpose of sale, so as to open up these lands for purchase to the settlers In this area, who are anxious to put this land In to production of essential crops vitally needed to further our war effort This would also l»’U this Ihnd hark <*n tH Ue. r • enable the present settlers to have the (fanning units they need in order t<» carry on with their farming and ranching operations.
