ern Pacific it was given every odd
section within 40 miles of the right
of way, with the exception of min
oral lands. Where lands are min
jeral the railroad does not get lieu
selections for them. Therefore, if
this region is declared mineral the
Northern Pacifie is out that much,
On the other hand, if the land is
declared to he more valuable for
[ timber and agriculture than for
{its minerals, it will mean to the
railroad if 1,000,000. With the
exception of two townships all this
region, consisting of over 250,000
acres, is included in the proposed
Shoshone forest reserve. If the
land is awarded to the railroad it
will have the privilege of taking
other lands in lieu of these put in
the reserve. I have been inves-1
ligating and have found that the
Northern Pacific has been in the
habit of charging from *5 to $10
for its lieu selections. There is
plenty of nnsclected land, left in
the public domain from which the
railroad could choose.
"In the matter of setiling the
public domain, the department is
now much more strict than it used
to be.
Before final proof can be
made on any homestead the claim
ant must show that he has actually
lived continuously on the land for
five years, and continuous residence
is taken to mean exactly what it
says. Going on the land once in
six months will not suffice.
