Sec. 2450.7  Right to occupy or settle.

    The filing of a petition-application gives no right to occupy or 
settle upon the land. A person shall be entitled to the possession and 
use of land only after his entry, selection, or location has been 
allowed, or a lease has been issued. Settlement on the land prior to 
that time constitutes a trespass.
