Syllabus

<p>Public Lands — Sales—Timbee on State Land — Sold Sepabately — Statutes—Consteuction. Laws 1897, pp. 235,236, §§11 and 12, as amended by Laws 1903, p. 103 and Laws 1901, p. 308, requires that the timber on state land shall be sold separately from the land, and that the land shall not be sold, where the timber thereon exceeds one million feet to the quarter section, although that provision of the law is added as an amendment to §12 which relates solely to applications for the sale of timber and other products exclusive of the land, and the sale was applied for under §11, relating to applications for the sale of land without any reference to the timber thereon; since §11 is not an independent act, and must be construed with reference to other parts of the act as now amended, and was impliedly modified by the amendment to section 12.</p>
