Mr. OLIVER.

Speaking generally, the rule we follow is that when we decide to withdraw a reservation such as that, ten days notice is posted up in the land office, and the first applicant for it after the end of the ten days gets the land. Mr. Campbell's application made while the land was still under reservation, would not be considered as giving him priority of right.
