I New State Mint Walt to Select tteeCrce 1 Until After the Auction. Washington, Aug. of the general land office who have been looking into the question whether Oklahoma, under the statehood ict, had the right to select lands froth the reserve that is to be opened soon, have arrived at the conclusion that the act relating to the Kiowa reservation must be followed strictly iri disposing of those lands. The terri- torial secretary, who is authorized the statehood act to select the new i lands, in their opinion, eftuld not exercise the right of eminent domain, for the reason that the lands of a territory are under federal control, and, though the territory might be able, under existing laws, to take possession of land for bridge or read or railroad purposes, it still could not appropriate lands from the reservation which is to be opened unless some of the lands should remain tiusold, when It might exercise such power. It has beea decided that the reservation lands will be disposed of according to the act of June 5, providing for the opening, and without reference to the statehood act of later date.
