Excepting from the force and effect of this proclamation all lands which
may have been, prior to the date hereof, embraced in any legal entry or
covered by any lawful filing duly of record in the proper United States
Land Office, or upon which any valid settlement has been made pursuant
to law, and the statutory period within which to make entry or filing of
record has not expired: _Provided_, That this exception shall not
continue to apply to any particular tract of land unless the entryman,
settler or claimant continues to comply with the law under which the
entry, filing or settlement was made.
_Provided further_, That nothing herein shall give any force or
effect to any claim or right to any of the lands heretofore embraced
within the Yellowstone Park Timber Land Reserve or the Teton Forest
Reserve which would not have been entitled to recognition if said
reserves as heretofore established had been continued in force without
being merged into larger reserves as hereinbefore provided.
Warning is hereby expressly given to all persons not to make settlement
upon the lands reserved by this proclamation.
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 twenty-second day of May, A.
