About thirty entries for land on
the government reservation at old
Fort McPherson were made at the
local land office yesterday. These
entries were made upon lauds
which for many years were held by
the Union Pacific railroad company
under its land grant. Several years
ago, however, the secretary of the
uterior rendered a decision to the
effect that the land was not in
cluded in the grant of the railroad
company and ordered the laud
appraised. The land was appraised
a couple of years ago, and this year
was ordered placed on the books of
the local land office for entry, one
of the requirements being that the
entryman pay within five years the
price at which the land was
assessed. Nearly all the land had
been squatted upon by settlers,
6ome ot whom have placed sub
stantial improvements thereon, and
they were naturally quite eager to
file upon the land on which they
lad squatted.
