Organic Act Of 1897Edit

Could you specify which Organic Act of 1897 you have in mind? There were several Territorial or organizational acts around that period, and the exact provisions can vary depending on the territory or domain they addressed. If you can name the territory (for example, a specific U.S. territory or region) or provide a link to the act, I can write a precise, well-sourced encyclopedia article from the viewpoint you described.
