State Appeals From the Decision
of Coeur d'Alene Land Of
fice to Washington. .
. (Special Dlepatck to The JoarnaL) V
Boise, Idaho, Sept 11. The, state of
Idaho has taken an appeal from the
decision of the register and receiver of
the Coeur d'Alene land office rendered
IB favor of the Northern Pacific rail
road In a' case which Involves several
thousand acres of timber land In Koote
nai county,' valued at millions of dollars.
These lands are held toy the railroad
company by virtue of lieu land scrip
laid on the lands prevloua to the survey
of the townships in which they are lo
cated. . The state has contested the title
because congress in '' granting . certain
lands to "the state for educational pur
poses provided . that the . state should
have 60 days In which to make Its se
lections . after . the townships . had. been
surveyed and the plats filed In the land
office, in preference to everybody ex
cept actual settlers. ' i.
The state contends that the act of
congress giving to the railroad company.
lieu land scrip . in exchange for lands
Incorporated within ' the boundaries of
forest reserves does not amend the .law
giving the state Its preference right of
selection, and until after the : state se
lections were made,' or the (0 days had
expired, the scrip could "not be laid
on the lands In question.
These .acts have never been construed
by the courts, and as the states of North
and South Dakota. Montana and Wash
ington have similar.' laws to that of
Idaho, a decision Is looked forward to
with a great deal of Interest. The ap
peal was taken to 'the commissioner of
the general land office, and from there.
win go to the secretary or the interior,
before it can be taken into the eourte
for a final decision. ' .'
