Entering Town Sites.
The following correspondence will show
that the act of the last Legislature of . the
Territory, designating the County Commis
sioners as the proper persons to enter Town
Sites, Is not recogiii.ctf by the Commissioner
of the Land Office.
It is a question of doubt whether the Judges
of Probate, or the United States Judges, can
he regarded ns "Judges of the County Court.'
As soon as that doubt Is removed, nottce wl.l
be given. In the mean time no entering of
towns not incorporated can be made.
A copy of the net of th last' Leglslalme
will be placed In the hands of the Commis
sioner, and, under the circumstances, the en
tries already innde mav be confirmed.
