[Public, No. 32.]

Preamble.

Whereas commissioners duly appointed on the part of the State of New Jersey and commissioners duly appointed on the part of the State of Delaware, for the purpose of agreeing upon and settling the jurisdiction and territorial limits of the two States, have executed certain articles, which are contained in the words following, namely: “First. Whereas a controversy hath heretofore existed between the States of New Jersey and Delaware relative to the jurisdiction of such portion of the Delaware River as is included within the circle of twelve-mile radius, an arc of which constitutes the northern boundary of the State of Delaware, and it is the mutual desire of said States to so settle and determine such controversy as to prevent future complications arising therefrom; and “Whereas there is now pending in the Supreme Court of the United States a cause wherein the said State of New Jersey is the complainant and the said State of Delaware is the defendant, in which cause an 859injunction has been issued against the State of Delaware restraining the execution of certain statutes of the State of Delaware relating to fisheries in said river, which said litigation hath been pending for twenty-seven years and upwards; and “Whereas for the purpose of adjusting the differences between the said two States arising out of said conflict of jurisdiction, Edward C. Stokes, Robert H. McCarter, Franklin Murphy, and Chauncey G. Parker have been appointed commissioners on the part of the State of New Jersey by joint resolution of the legislature of said State, and Preston Lea, Robert H. Richards, Herbert H. Ward, and George H. Bates have been appointed commissioners on the part of the State of Delaware by joint resolution of the general assembly of said State, to frame a compact or agreement between the said States and legislation consequent thereon, to be submitted to the legislatures of said two States for action thereon, looking to the amicable termination of said suit between said States now pending in the Supreme Court of the United States, and the final adjustment of all controversies relating to the boundary line between said States, and to their respective rights in the Delaware River and Bay: Now therefore,

“The said State of New Jersey, by its commissioners above named, and the said State of Delaware, by its commissioners above named, do hereby make and enter into a compact or agreement between said States as follows:

“Article I. Criminal process issued under the authority of the State of New Jersey against any person accused of an offense committed upon the soil of said State, or upon the eastern half of said Delaware River, or committed on board of any vessel being under the exclusive jurisdiction of that State, and also civil process issued under the authority of the State of New Jersey against any person domiciled in that State, or against property taken out of that State to evade the laws thereof, may be served upon any portion of the Delaware River between said States from low-water mark on the New Jersey shore to low-water mark on the Delaware shore, except upon Reedy and Pea Patch islands, unless said person or property shall be on board a vessel aground upon or fastened to the shore of the State of Delaware, or the shores of said islands, or fastened to a wharf adjoining thereto, or unless such person shall be under arrest or such property shall be under seizure by virtue of process or authority of the State of Delaware.

“Art. II. Criminal process issued under the authority of the State of Delaware against any person accused of an offense committed upon the soil of said State, or upon the western half of said Delaware River, or committed on board of any vessel being under the exclusive jurisdiction of that State, and also civil process issued under the authority of the State of Delaware against any person domiciled in that State, or against property taken out of that State to evade the laws thereof, may be served upon any portion of the Delaware River between said States from low-water mark on the Delaware shore to low-water mark on the New Jersey shore, unless said person or property shall be on board a vessel aground upon or fastened to the shore of the State of New Jersey, or fastened to a wharf adjoining thereto, or unless such person shall be under arrest or such property shall be under seizure by virtue of process or authority of the State of New Jersey.

“Art. III. The inhabitants of the said States of Delaware and New Jersey shall have and enjoy a common right of fishery throughout, in. and over the waters of said river between low-water marks on each side of said river between the said States, except so far as either State may have heretofore granted valid and subsisting private rights of fishery.

860

“Art. IV.

Immediately upon the execution hereof the legislature of the State of New Jersey shall appoint three commissioners to confer with three commissioners to be immediately appointed by the general assembly of the State of Delaware for the purpose of drafting uniform laws to regulate the catching and taking of fish in the Delaware. River and Bay between said two States, which said commissioners for each State, respectively, shall, within two years from the date of their appointment, report to the legislature of each of said States the proposed laws so framed and recommended by said joint commission. Upon the adoption and passage of said laws so recommended by the respective legislatures of said two States said laws shall constitute the sole laws for the regulation of the taking and catching of fish in the said river and bay between said States. Said laws shall remain in force until altered, amended, or repealed by concurrent legislation of the said two States. Said commissioners shall also ascertain the dividing line between said river and bay, and upon each of the shores of said two States where said dividing line extended shall intersect the same, shall, at the joint expense of said States, erect a suitable monument to mark the said dividing line. Said dividing line between said monuments shall be the division line between the said river and bay for the interpretation of and for all purposes of this compact, and of the concurrent legislation provided for therein.

“The faith of the said contracting States is hereby pledged to the enactment of said laws so recommended by said commissioners, or to such concurrent legislation as may seem judicious and proper in the premises to the respective legislatures thereof.

“Each State shall have and exercise exclusive jurisdiction within said river to arrest, try, and punish its own inhabitants for violation of the concurrent legislation relating to fishery herein provided for.

“Art. V. All laws of said States relating to the regulation of fisheries in the Delaware River not inconsistent with the right of common fishery hereinabove mentioned shall continue in force in said respective States until the enactment of said concurrent legislation as herein provided.

“Art. VI. Nothing herein contained shall affect the planting, catching, or taking of oysters, clams, or other shell fish, or interfere with the oyster industry as now or hereafter carried on under the laws of either State.

“Art. VII. Each State may, on its own side of the river, continue to exercise riparian jurisdiction of every kind and nature, and to make grants, leases, and conveyances of riparian lands and rights under the laws of the respective States.

“Art. VIII. Nothing herein contained shall affect the territorial limits, rights, or jurisdiction of either State of, in, or over the Delaware River, or the ownership of the subaqueous soil thereof, except as herein expressly set forth.

“Art. IX.

This agreement shall be executed by the said commissioners when authorized to do so by the legislatures of the said States. It shall thereupon be submitted to Congress for its consent and approval. Upon the ratification thereof by Congress it shall be and become binding in perpetuity upon both of said States; and thereupon the suit now pending in the Supreme Court of the United States, in which the State of New Jersey is complainant and the State of Delaware is defendant, shall be discontinued without costs to either party and without prejudice. Pending the ratification hereof by Congress said suit shall remain in statu quo.

“Done in two parts (one of which is retained by the commissioners of Delaware, to be delivered to the governor of that State, and the other one of which is retained by the commissioners of New Jersey, to 861be delivered to the governor of that State) this twenty-first day of March, in the year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred and five.”

Edward C. Stokes, Robert H. McCarter, Franklin Murphy, Chauncey G. Parker, Preston Lea, Robert H. Richards, Herbert H. Ward, Geo. H. Bates. And whereas the, said agreement has been confirmed by the legislatures of the said States of New Jersey and Delaware, respectively: Therefore Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,

That the consent of the Congress

Preamble.

Whereas on the eleventh day of December, eighteen hundred and seventy-three, the United States obtained judgment in the circuit court of the United States sitting at Tyler. Texas, in the then western district of Texas, for fifty thousand dollars, against William T. Scott, William Umbdenstock, and others, sureties on the official bond of Davis B. Bonfoy, late collector of internal revenue for the fourth district of Texas, cause one thousand and thirty-seven, and it appearing from the facts that on the trial of the cause against the said sureties they were deprived of their defense by having, through mistake, pre-1285sented their accounts and facts in favor of Davis B. Bonfoy, their principal, then deceased, to the wrong accounting officer at Washington, District of Columbia, for his action thereon, and said accounts were returned by said officer to the United States attorney representing the Government in the cause without any action thereon, which fact was not known to the defendants until they had announced themselves ready for trial; and Whereas facts subsequently discovered show that at the date of said judgment Davis B. Bonfoy, as collector aforesaid, was not really indebted to the United States, which facts could not have been known at the time to the proper accounting officers of the Treasury Department, for the reason that the money belonging to the United States in the hands of Bonfoy at the time of his death were taken charge of by the military authorities of the United States then commanding at Marshal, Texas (the State being under military rule), and returned to and accounted for by said military authorities to the War Department instead of the Treasury Department; and Whereas since said money so returned to the War Department has been taken up by the accounting officers of the Treasury Department in a readjustment of the accounts of the said Davis B. Bonfoy as collector, and it appearing from said last adjustment, including the newly discovered funds in the War Department, that at the time said judgment was obtained against said sureties Bonfoy really owed the Government nothing, but in fact had a balance due him from the Government: Therefore Be if enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,

Irion, Coke, Sterling, and Atascosa, in the State of Texas, which said lands were bought in for the United States by Stillwell H. Russell, then United States marshal for the western district of Texas, at a public sale made by him, the said Stillwell H. Russell. United States marshal, on the first Tuesday in October, eighteen hundred and seventy-eight, under and by virtue of an alias pluries execution, dated June tenth, eighteen hundred and seventy-eight, issuing out of the circuit court of the United States on said judgment obtained by the United States in a circuit court of the United States sitting at Tyler, Texas, in the western judicial district of Texas, on the eleventh day of December, eighteen hundred and seventy-three, against William T. Scott and others as sureties on the bond of Davis B. Bonfoy, collector aforesaid cause one thousand and thirty-seven, and levied on said lands on the fifth day of September, eighteen hundred and seventy-eight, and by him as such marshal, following the statute in such case made and provided, deeded to the United States in a deed bearing date December ninth, eighteen hundred and seventy eight, and recorded in Tom Green County, in Book C of deeds of said county, folios one hundred and twenty-eight to one hundred and thirty-eight, inclusive; and that all the right, title, and interest of the United States, real or pretended, to said lands be, and the same are hereby, as fully and thoroughly divested out of the United States as if no such judgment had ever been obtained.

“Tertib.”

Application.

à exécution d’une façon régulière à l’égard des sujets marocains, les Représentants des Puissances à Tanger y soumettront leurs ressortissants dans l’Empire. Mais il est entendu que le dit impôt ne sera appliqué aux étrangers, a) que dans les conditions fixées par le règlement du Corps Diplo-2926matique à Tanger en date du 23 Novembre 1903, b)

que dans les localités où il sera effectivement perçu sur les sujets marocains.

Les autorités consulaires retiendront un tantième pour cent des sommes encaissées sur leurs ressortissants pour couvrir les frais occasionnés par la rédaction des rôles et le recouvrement de la taxe.

Le taux de cette retenue sera fixé, d’un commun accord, par le Makhzen et le Corps Diplomatique à Tanger.

Art. 60.

Property rights of oreigners.

Conformément au droit qui leur a été reconnu par l’article 11 de la Convention de Madrid, les étrangers pourront acquérir des propriétés dans toute l’étendue de l’Empire Chérifien et Sa Majesté le Sultan donnera aux autorités administratives et judiciaires les instructions nécessaires pour que l’autorisation de passer es actes ne soit pas refusée sans motif légitime. Quant aux transmissions ultérieures par actes entre vifs ou après décès, elles continueront à s’exercer sans aucune entrave.

In open ports.

Dans les ports ouverts au commerce et dans un rayon de dix kilomètres autour de ces ports, Sa Majesté le Sultan accorde, d’une façon générale, et sans qu’il soit désormais nécessaire de l’obtenir spécialement pour chaque achat de propriété par les étrangers, le consentement exigé par l’article 11 de la Convention de Madrid.

Other places.

A Ksar el Kebir, Arzila, Azemmour et, éventuellement, dans d’autres localités du littoral ou de l’intérieur, l’autorisation générale cidessus mentionnée est également accordée aux étrangers, mais seulement pour les acquisitions dans un rayon de deux kilomètres autour de ces villes.

Art. 61.

Dans le but de créer

La taxe sera due par le propriétaire marocain ou étranger sans aucune distinction; mais le locataire ou le détenteur de la clef en sera responsable envers le Trésor marocain.

Un règlement édicté, d’un commun accord, par le Gouvernement chérifien et le Corps Diplomatique á Tanger, fixera le taux de la taxe, son mode de perception et d’application et déterminera la quotité des ressources ainsi créées qui devra être affectée aux dépenses d’amélioration et d’entretien des villes.

A Tanger, cette quotité sera versée au Conseil sanitaire international. qui en réglera l’emploi jusqu’à la création d’une organisation municipale.

Art. 62. Sa Majesté Chérifienne,

Cette mesure ne devra pas excéder une durée de deux années; elle ne pourra pas être appliquée à la fois à tous les ports de l’Empire.

Il est d’ailleurs entendu que les dispositions précédentes ne modifient pas les autres conditions de l’exportation du bétail fixées par les firmans antérieurs.

Preamble.

And whereas the said General Act and Additional Protocol were signed by the Plenipotentiaries of the United States of America under reservation of the following declaration:

Disclaimer of political interest by United States.

“Government of the United States of America, having no political interest in Morocco and no desire or purpose having animated it to take part in this conference other than to secure for all peoples the widest equality of trade and privilege with Morocco and to facilitate the institution of reforms in that country tending to insure complete cordiality of intercourse without and stability of administration within for the common good, declares that, in acquiescing in the regulations and declarations of the conference, in becoming a signatory to the General Act of Algeciras and to the Additional Protocol, subject to ratification according to constitutional procedure, and in accepting the application of those regulations and declarations to American citizens and interests in Morocco, it does so without assuming obligation or responsibility for the enforcement thereof.”

And whereas, in giving its advice and consent to the ratification of the said General Act and Additional Protocol the Senate of the United States resolved, “as a part of this act of ratification, that the Senate understands that the participation of the United States in the Algeciras Conference, and in the formulation and adoption of the General Act and Protocol which resulted therefrom, was with the sole purpose of preserving and increasing its commerce in Morocco, the protection as to life, liberty and property of its citizens residing or traveling therein, and of aiding by its friendly offices and efforts in removing friction and controversy which seemed to menace the peace between the powers signatory with the United States to the treaty of 1880, all of which are on terms of amity with this government; and without purpose to depart from the traditional American foreign policy which forbids participation by the United States in the settlement of political questions which are entirely European in their scope.” And whereas, the said General Act and Additional Protocol were duly ratified by the Governments of the United States of America and of the other powers aforesaid, and by His Majesty the Sultan of Morocco; And whereas in pursuance of Article 121 of the said General Act, the ratifications of the said General Act and Additional Protocol of 2947all the signatory powers were deposited with the Government of His Majesty, the King of Spain, on December 31, 1906, thereby constituting a valid exchange of the ratifications thereof;

Now, therefore, be it known that I, Theodore Roosevelt, President

Proclamation.

of the United States of America, have caused the said General Act and Additional Protocol to be made public to the end that the same and every article and clause thereof may be observed and fulfilled with good faith by the United States and the citizens thereof, subject to the reservation made in the aforesaid Declaration of the Plenipotentiaries of the United States and to the Resolution of the Senate.

In witness whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the United States of America to be hereunto affixed.

Done-at the City of Washington this twenty-second day of January, in the year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred and [seal] seven, and of the Independence of the United States of America the one hundred and thirty-first.

Whereas a Convention between the United States of America and His Majesty the King of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland and of the British Dominions beyond the Seas, Emperor of India, providing for the surveying and marking out upon the ground of the 141st degree of West Longitude where said meridian forms the boundary line between Alaska and the possessions in America of His Britannic Majesty, was concluded and signed by their respective Plenipotentiaries at Washington, on the twentyfirst day of April, one thousand nine hundred and six, the original of which Convention is word for word as follows:

Vol. 26, p. 1103.

Whereas, The Bitter Root Forest Reserve, in the States of Idaho and Montana, was established by proclamation dated February twenty-second, eighteen hundred and ninety-seven, under and by virtue of section twenty-four of the Act of Congress, approved March third, eighteen hundred and ninety-one, entitled, “An act to repeal timber-culture laws, and for other purposes”, which provides, “That the President of the United States may, from time to time, set apart and reserve, in any State or Territory having public land bearing forests, in any part of the public lands wholly or in part covered with, timber or undergrowth, whether of commercial value or not, as public reservations, and the President shall, by public proclamation, declare the establishment of such reservations and the limits thereof”;

Vol. 30, p. 36.

And whereas, it is further provided by the Act of Congress, approved June fourth, eighteen hundred and ninety-seven, entitled. “An act making appropriations for sundry civil expenses of the Government for the fiscal year ending June thirtieth, eighteen hundred and ninety-eight, and for other purposes”, that “the President is hereby authorized at any time to modify any Executive order that has been or may hereafter be made establishing any forest reserve, and by such modification may reduce the area or change the boundary lines of such reserve, or may vacate altogether any order creating such reserve”; under which provision the boundary lines of the said

Post, p. 3297.

WHEREAS, The Washington Forest Reserve, in the State of Washington, was established by proclamation dated February twenty-second, eighteen hundred and ninety-seven, under and by virtue of section twenty-four of the Act of Congress, approved March third, eighteen hundred and ninety-one, entitled “An act to repeal timber-culture laws, and for other purposes”, which provides, “That the President of the United States may, from time to time, set apart and reserve, in any State or Territory having public land bearing forests, in any part of the public lands wholly or in part covered with timebr or underkrowth, whether of commercial value or not, as public reservations, and the President shall, by public proclamation, declare the establishment of such reservations and the limits thereof ”;

Vol. 30, p. 36.

And whereas, it is further provided by the Act of Congress, approved June fourth, eighteen hundred and ninety-seven, entitled, “An act making appropriations for sundry civil expenses of the Government for the fiscal year ending June thirtieth, eighteen hundred and ninety-eight, and for other purposes ”, that “the President is hereby authorized at any time to modify any Executive order that has been or may hereafter be made establishing any forest reserve, and by such modification may reduce the area or change the boundary lines of such reserve, or may vacate altogether any order creating such reserve”; under which provision, the boundary lines of the said

Vol. 32, p. 1969.

forest reserve were changed and reduced by proclamation dated April third, nineteen hundred and one; And whereas, it appears that the public good would be promoted by further releasing and excluding certain lands from the said forest reserve, and by including therein certain additional lands which are in part covered with timber;

Area further modified.

Now, therefore, I, Theodore Roosevelt, President of the United States, by virtue of the power in me vested by the aforesaid act of Congress, approved June fourth, eighteen hundred and ninety-seven, do hereby make known and proclaim that the boundary lines of the aforesaid Washington Forest Reserve are hereby further modified so as to read as follows:

March 3, 1891, entitled “An Act to amend title sixty, chapter three, of the Revised Statutes of the United States, relating to copyrights,” that said act “shall only apply to a citizen or subject of a foreign state or nation when such foreign state or nation permits to citizens of the United States of America the benefit of copyright on substantially the same basis as its own citizens; or when such foreign state or nation is a party to an international agreement which provides for 3112reciprocity in the granting of copyright, by the terms of which agreement the United States of America may, at its pleasure, become a party to such agreement”; And whereas it is also provided by said section that “the existence of either of the conditions aforesaid shall be determined by the President of the United States by proclamation made from time to time as the purposes of this act may require ”; And whereas satisfactory official assurances have been given that in Norway the law permits to citizens of the United States the benefit of copyright on substantially the same basis as to the citizens of that country:

Now, therefore, I, Theodore Roosevelt, President of the United States of America, do declare and proclaim that the first of the conditions specified in section 13 of the act of March 3, 1891, is now fulfilled in respect to the subjects of Norway.

In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed.

Announcing death of John Hay, Secretary of State.

John Hay, Secretary of State of the United States, died on July 1st. His death, a crushing sorrow to his friends, is to the people of this country a national bereavement; and it is in addition a serious loss to all mankind, for to him it was given to stand as a leader in the effort to better world-conditions by striving to advance the cause of international peace and justice. He entered the public service as the trusted and intimate companion of Abraham Lincoln, and for wellnigh forty-five years he served his country with loyal devotion and high ability in many positions of honor and trust; and finally he crowned his life work by serving as Secretary of State with such farsighted reading of the future and such loyalty to lofty ideals as to confer lasting benefits not only upon our own country but upon all the nations of the earth.

As a suitable expression of national mourning, I direct that the diplomatic representatives of the United States in all foreign countries display the flags over their embassies and legations at half-mast for ten days; that for a like period the flag of the United States be displayed at half-mast at all forts and military posts and at all naval stations and on all vessels of the United States.

I further order that on the day of the funeral the executive departments in the City of Washington be closed and that on all public buildings throughout the United States the national flag be displayed at half-mast.

No one will be permitted to make settlement upon any of said lands in advance of the opening herein provided for, and during the first sixty days following said opening no one but registered applicants will be permitted to make homestead settlement upon any of said lands and then only in pursuance of a homestead entry duly allowed by the local land officers, or of a soldier’s declaratory statement duly accepted by such officers.

Drawings.

The order in which, during the first sixty days following the opening, the registered applicants will be permitted to make homestead entry of the lands opened hereunder, will be determined by a drawing for the district publicly held at Provo, Utah, commencing at 9 o’clock a. m., Thursday, August 17, 1905, and continuing for such period as may be necessary to complete the same. The drawing will be had under the supervision and immediate observance of a committee of three persons whose integrity is such as to make their control of the drawing a guaranty of its fairness. The members of this committee will be appointed by the Secretary of the Interior, who will 3121prescribe suitable compensation for their services. Preparatory to this drawing the registration officers will, at the time of registering each applicant who shows himself duly qualified, make out a card, which must be signed by the applicant, and giving such a description of the applicant as will enable the local land officers to thereafter identify him. This card will be subsequently sealed in a separate envelope which will bear no other distinguishing label or mark than such as may be necessary to show that it is to go into the drawing. These envelopes will be carefully preserved and remain sealed until opened in the course of the drawing herein provided. When the registration is completed, all of these sealed envelopes will be brought together at the place of drawing and turned over to the committee in charge of the drawing, who, in such manner as in their judgment will be attended with entire fairness and equality of opportunity, shall proceed to draw out and open the separate envelopes and to give to each inclosed card a number in the order in which the envelope containing the same is drawn. The result of the drawing will be certified by the committee to the officers of the district and will determine the order in which the applicants may make homestead entry of said lands and settlement thereon.

Notice of the drawings, stating the name of each applicant and

number assigned to him by the drawing, will be posted each day at the place of drawing, and each applicant will be notified of his number, and of the day upon which he must make his entry, by a postal card mailed to him at the address given by him at the time of registration. The result of each day’s drawing will also be given to the press to be published as a matter of news. Applications for homestead entry of said lands during the first sixty days following the opening can be made only by registered applicants and in the order established by the drawing.

Commencing on Monday, August 28, 1905, at 9 o’clock a. m., the

applications of those drawing numbers 1 to 50, inclusive, must be presented at the land office in the town of Vernal, Utah, in the land district in which said lands are situated, and will be considered in their numerical order during the first day, and the applications of those drawing numbers 51 to 100, inclusive, must be presented and will be considered in their numerical order during the second day, and so on at that rate until all of said lands subject to entry under the homestead law, and desired thereunder, have been entered. If any applicant fails to appear and present his application for entry when the number assigned to him by the drawing is reached, his right to enter will be passed until after the other applications assigned for that day have been disposed of, when he will be given another opportunity to make entry, failing in which he will be deemed to have abandoned his right to make entry under such drawing.

Entries.

The production of the certificate of registration will be dispensed with only upon satisfactory proof of its loss or destruction. If at the time of considering his regular application for entry it appear that an applicant is disqualified from making homestead entry of these lands, his application will be rejected, notwithstanding his prior registration. If any applicant shall register more than once hereunder, or in any other than his true name, or shall transfer his registration certificate, he will thereby lose all the benefits of the registration and drawing herein provided for, and will be precluded from entering or settling upon any of said lands during the first sixty days following said opening.

Townsites.

Post, pp. 3139, 3143.

Any person or persons desiring to found, or to suggest establishing, a townsite upon any of the said lands, at any point, may, at any time before the opening herein provided for, file in the land office a written application to that effect, describing by legal subdivisions the lands intended to be affected, and stating fully and under oath the necessity or propriety of founding or establishing a town at that place. The local officers will forthwith transmit said petition to the Commissioner of the General Land Office with their recommendation in the premises. Such Commissioner, if he believes the public interests will be subserved thereby, will, if the Secretary of the Interior approve thereof, issue an order withdrawing the lands described in such petition, or any portion thereof, from homestead entry and settlement and directing that the same be held for the time being for disposal under the townsite laws of the United States in such manner as the Secretary of the Interior may from time to time direct; and, if at any time after such withdrawal has been made it is determined that the lands so withdrawn are not needed for townsite purposes they may be released from such withdrawal and then disposed of under the general provisions of the homestead laws in the manner prescribed herein.

Entry of undisposed of lands.

All persons are especially admonished that under the said act of Congress approved March 3, 1905, it is provided that no person shall be permitted to settle upon, occupy, or enter any of said lands except in the manner prescribed in this proclamation until after the expiration of sixty days from the time when the same are opened to settlement and entry. After the expiration of the said period of sixty days, but not before, as hereinbefore prescribed, any of said land’s remaining undisposed of may be settled upon, occupied, and entered under the general provisions of the homestead and townsite laws of the United States in like manner as if the manner of effecting such settlement, occupancy, and entry had not been prescribed herein in obedience to law.

Regulations.

The Secretary of the Interior shall prescribe all needful rules and regulations necessary to carry into full effect the opening herein provided for.

In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed.

A PROCLAMATION.

Preamble.

When nearly three centuries ago the first settlers came to the country which has now become this great republic, they fronted not only hardship and privation, but terrible risk to their lives. In those grim years the custom grew of setting apart one day in each year for a special service of thanksgiving to the Almighty for preserving the people through the changing seasons. The custom has now become national and hallowed by immemorial usage. We live in easier and more plentiful times than our forefathers, the men who with rugged strength faced the rugged days; and yet the dangers to national life are quite as great now as at any previous time in our history. It is eminently fitting that once a year our people should set apart a day for praise and thanksgiving to the (liver of Good, and. at the same time that they express their thankfulness for the abundant mercies received, should manfully acknowledge their shortcomings and pledge themselves solemnly and in good faith to strive to overcome them. During the past year we have been blessed with bountiful crops. Our business prosperity has been great. No other people has ever stood on as high a level of material well-being as ours now stands. We are not threatened by foes from without. The foes from whom we should pray to be delivered are our own passions, appetites and follies: and against these there is always need that we should war.

Thursday. November 30, 1905. set apart as a day of national thanksgiving.

Therefore, I now set apart Thursday, the thirtieth day of this November. as a day of thanksgiving for the past and of prayer for the future, and on that day I ask that throughout the land the people gather in their homes and places of worship, and in rendering thanks unto the Most High for the manifold blessings of the past year, consecrate themselves to a life of cleanliness, honor and wisdom, so that this nation may do its allotted work on the earth in a manner worthy of those who founded it and of those who preserved it.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed.

Done at the City of Washington this 2nd day of November in the year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred and five [seal.] and of the independence of the United States the one hundred and thirtieth.

Office, and to give the registering officers such appropriate matters of description and identity as will protect the applicant and the government against any attempted impersonation. Registration can not be effected through the use of the mails or the employment of an agent, except that honorably discharged soldiers and sailors entitled to the benefits of section twenty-three hundred and four of the Revised Statutes of the United States, as amended by the act of Congress approved March first, nineteen hundred and one (31 Stat., 847), may present their applications for registration and due proofs of their qualifications through an agent of their own selection, having a duly executed power of attorney on a blank furnished by the Commissioner of the General Land Office, but no person will be permitted to act as agent for more than one such soldier or sailor. No person will be permitted to register more than once or in any other than his true name.

Applicants.

Each applicant who shows himself duly qualified will be registered and given a nontransferable certificate to that effect, which will entitle him to go upon and examine the lands to be opened hereunder; but the only purpose for which he can go upon and examine said lands is that of enabling him later on, as herein provided, to understandingly select the lands for which he may make entry. No one will be permitted to make settlement upon any of said lands in advance of the opening herein provided for, and during the first sixty days following said opening no one but registered applicants will be permitted to make homestead settlement upon any of said lands, and then only in pursuance of a homestead entry duly allowed by the local land officers, or of a soldier's declaratory statement duly accepted by such officers.

Drawings.

The order in which during the first sixty days following the opening, the registered applicants will be permitted to make homestead entry of the lands opened hereunder, will be determined by a drawing for the district publicly held at Billings. Montana, commencing at 9 o'clock a. in., Monday, July 2, 1906, and continuing for such period as may be necessary to complete the same. The drawing will be had under the supervision and immediate observance of a committee of three persons whose integrity is such as to make their control of the drawing a guaranty of fairness. The members of this committee will be appointed by the Secretary of the Interior, who will prescribe suitable compensation for their services. Preparatory to this drawing the registration officers will, at the time of registering each applicant who shows himself duly qualified, make out a card, which must be signed by the applicant, and giving such a description of the applicant as will enable the local land officers to thereafter identify him. This card will be subsequently sealed in a separate envelope which will bear no other distinguishing label or mark than such as may be necessary to show that it is to go into the drawing. These envelopes will be carefully preserved and remain sealed until opened in the course of the drawing herein provided. When the registration is completed all of these sealed envelopes will be brought together at the place of the drawing and turned over to the committee in charge of the drawing, who, in such manner as in their judgment will be attended with entire fairness and equality of opportunity, shall proceed to draw out and open the separate envelopes and to give to each inclosed card a number in the order in which the envelope containing the same is drawn. The result of the drawing will be certified by the committee to the officers of the district and will determine the order in which the applicants may make homestead entry of said lands and settlement thereon.

number assigned to him by the drawing, will be posted each day at the place of drawing, and each applicant will be notified of his number and of the day upon which he must make his entry by a postal card mailed to him at the address given by him at the time of registration.

The result of each day’s drawing will also be given to the press to be published as a matter of news. Applications for homestead entry of said lands during the first sixty days following the opening can be made only by registered applicants and in the order established by the drawing.

If any applicant fails to appear and present his application for entry when the, number assigned to him by the drawing is reached, his right to enter will be passed until after the other applications assigned for that day have been disposed of, when he will be given another opportunity to make entry, failing in which he will be deemed to have abandoned his right to make entry under such drawing.

To obtain the allowance of a homestead entry, each applicant must

In case any entryman fails to make the payments herein provided for, or any

Forfeiture.

of them, promptly when due, all rights in and to the lands covered by his or her entry shall at once cease, and any payments theretofore made shall be forfeited, and the entry shall be held for cancellation and canceled, and the land embraced therein shall thereupon be subject to entry at the price and upon the terms above set forth. Lands entered under the town-site and mineral land laws shall be paid for in amount and manner as provided by said laws, but in no case at a less price than that fixed for such lands if entered under the homestead laws.

The production of the certificate of registration will be dispensed with only

Rejection of application.

upon satisfactory proof of its loss or destruction. If at the time of considering his regular application for entry it appears that an applicant is disqualified from making homestead entry of these lands, his application will be rejected, notwithstanding his prior registration.

If any applicant shall register more than once hereunder, or in any other than his true name, or shall transfer his registration certificate, he will thereby lose all the benefits of the registration and drawing herein provided for, and will be precluded from entering 3204 or settling upon any of said lands during the first sixty days following said opening.

Town sites.

Any person or persons desiring to found, or to suggest establishing, a town site upon any of the said lands, at any point, may, at any time before the opening herein provided for, file in the land office a written application to that effect, describing by legal subdivisions the lands intended to be affected, and stating fully and under oath the necessity or propriety of founding or establishing a town at that place. The local officers will forthwith transmit said petition to the Commissioner of the General Land Office with their recommendation in the premises. Such Commissioner, if he believes the public interests will be subserved thereby, will, if the Secretary of the Interior approve thereof, issue an order withdrawing the lands described in such petition, or any portion thereof, from homestead entry, and settlement and directing that the same be held for the time being for disposal under the townsite laws of the United States in such manner as the Secretary of the Interior may from time to time direct; and, if at any time after such withdrawal has been made it is determined that the lands so withdrawn are not needed for town site purposes they may be released from such withdrawal and then disposed of under the general provisions of the homestead laws in the manner prescribed herein.

Disposal of remaining lands.

All persons are especially admonished that under the said act of Congress approved March 3, 1905, it is provided that no person shall be permitted to settle upon, occupy, or enter any of said lands, except in the manner prescribed in this proclamation, until after the expiration of sixty days from the time when the same are opened to settlement and entry, and the lands are not subject to mineral exploration or location during that period. After the expiration of said period of sixty days, but not before, as hereinbefore prescribed, any of said lands which are non-mineral, remaining undisposed of, may be settled upon, occupied, and entered under the general provisions of the homestead and townsite laws of the United States in like manner as if the manner of effecting such settlement, occupancy, and entry had not been prescribed herein in obedience to law, and such of said lands as are mineral will then be subject to the provisions of the mining laws.

Regulations.

The Secretary of the Interior shall prescribe all needful rules and regulations necessary to carry into full effect the opening herein provided for.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed.

Applicants.

of any of said ceded lands each applicant will be required to show himself duly qualified under the law to make such entry, and this showing must be made by the presentation of a sworn application for registration executed on a blank furnished by the Commissioner of the General Land Office which can be obtained only at the time and places of registration herein mentioned, and each person registering must give the registering officer such appropriate matters of description and identification as will protect the applicant and the Government against any attempted impersonation.

Registration can not be affected through the use of the mails or the employment

(31 Stat., 847), may present their applications for registration for the purpose of making a homestead entry and make due proof of their qualifications through an agent of their own selection having a duly executed power of attorney on a blank furnished by the Commissioner of the General Land Office, but no person will be permitted to act as agent for more than one soldier or sailor. No person will be permitted to register more than once, nor will he be permitted to register in any other than his true name.

Certificate of registration.

Each applicant who shows himself duly qualified will be registered and given a non-transferable certificate to that effect, and each person holding such certificate will be entitled to go upon any ceded lands subject to entry hereunder and examine such lands, but the only purpose for which he can go upon and examine such lands is to enable him later on as herein provided, to understandingly select the lands for which he may make entry.

Drawings

The order in which during the first sixty days following the opening the registered applicants will be permitted to make homestead entry of lands opened hereunder will be determined by a drawing for the district, held at Lander, Wyoming, commencing at nine o'clock a. m., Saturday, August 4, 1906, and continuing for such period necessary to complete the same. The drawing will be had under the supervision and immediate observance of a committee of three persons whose integrity is such as to make their control of the drawing a guaranty of its fairness. The members of this committee will be appointed by the Secretary of the Interior, who will prescribe suitable compensation for their services. Preparatory to this drawing the registration officers will, at the time of registering each applicant who shows himself duly qualified, make out a card which must be signed by the applicant, and give such a description of the applicant as will enable the local land officers to thereafter identify him. This card will be subsequently sealed in a separate envelope which will bear no other distinguishing label or mark than such as may be necessary to show that it is to go into the drawing. These envelopes will be carefully preserved and remain sealed until opened in the course of the drawing herein provided. When the registration is completed all of these sealed envelopes will be brought together at the place of drawing and turned over to the committee in charge of the drawing who, in such manner as in their judgment will be attended with entire fairness and equality of opportunity, shall proceed to draw out and open the separate envelopes and to give to each inclosed card a number in the order in which the envelope containing the same is drawn. The result of the drawing will be certified to the officers of the district and will determine the order in which the applicants may make homestead entry of said lands and settlement thereon.

Notice.

Notices of the drawing, stating the name of each applicant and the number assigned to him by the drawing, will be posted each day at the place of the drawing, and each applicant will be notified of his number and the day upon which he must make his entry, by a postal card mailed to him at the address given by him at the time of the registration. The result of each day's drawing will also be given to the press and published as a matter of news. Applications for homestead entry during the sixty days following the opening can be made only by registered applicants and in the order established by the drawing.

Applications.

A PROCLAMATION.

Preamble.

THE time of year has come when, in accordance with the wise custom of our forefathers, it becomes my duty to set aside a special day of thanksgiving and praise to the Almighty because of the blessings we have received, and of prayer that these blessings may be continued. Yet another year of widespread well-being has past. Never before in our history or in the history of any other nation has a people enjoyed more abounding material prosperity than is ours; a prosperity so great that it should arouse in us no spirit of reckless pride, and least of all a spirit of heedless disregard of our responsibilities; but rather a sober sense of our many blessings, and a resolute purpose, under Providence, not to forfeit them by any action of our own.

Material well-being, indispensable tho it is, can never be anything but the foundation of true national greatness and happiness. If we build nothing upon this foundation, then our national life will be as meaningless and empty as a house where only the foundation has been laid. Upon our material well-being must be built a superstructure of individual and national life lived in accordance with the laws of the highest morality, or else our prosperity itself will in the long run turn out a curse instead of a blessing. We should be both reverently thankful for what we have received, and earnestly bent upon turning it into a means of grace and not of destruction.

Thursday, November 29, 1906, set apart as a day of national thanksgiving.

Accordingly I hereby set apart Thursday, the twenty-ninth day of November, next, as a day of thanksgiving and supplication, on which the people shall meet in their homes or their churches, devoutly acknowledge all that has been given them, and to pray that they may in addition receive the power to use these gifts aright.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the United States to be affixt.
