Indemnity withdrawals face secretary’s decision
The secretary of the interior weighs indemnity claims of the Northern Pacific Railroad, rejecting a blanket 10 mile belt approach and insisting on state and territorial boundaries. He argues lands within the belts must align with Congress grants by state lines and believes many vacant odd numbered sections can be restored to public domain. The decision mirrors limits seen in the Atlantic and Pacific case. The tobacco acreage report responds to July figures with assurances of accuracy and reliance on Statistician Dodge.
