LAND AGHEKMK.NT FAVOllS STATE South Djtkota Commissioner Invest! urates Conditions In Forest Reserve. PIERRE, K. P., Jan. 11. (Special. Instate Land Commissioner Pokken 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 cials 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 acknowledged the rights 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 liave been lost through home stead filings on the Btate lands by squatters who went on the lands prior to -survey are held in abeyance, to be settled by further action all other lands are conceded aa belonging to the state. They will be allowed to select the amount of land contained In sections 16 and 36 on the reserve. The selection may be made in one or two solid tracts or In smaller tracts of not less than a sec tion. It Is the dvlre of the State depart ment to make the selection In as compact a tract or tracts as possible, and one the edge of the forest reserve if possible. This will allow the selections to bs 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 ll In one tract if It can be practically arranged,. It will be cut Into smalUr tracts if the right kind of selections cannot be made In the one tract. It Is expected that the whole mattei will be cleared up early the coming sum mer and th vexing factor of the control of state lands within the forest .reserve be eliminated. An to Grinds Feed Hill.
