Entering Town Sites.
The following correspondence will show
that the act of the last Legislature of ths
Territory, designating the County Commis
sioners as the proper persons to enter Town
Sites, is not recognized by the Commissioner
of the Land Office.
It is a question of doubt whether the Judges
of Probate, or the United States Judges, can
be regarded as "Judges of the County Court."
As soon as that doubt is removed, notice wi.l
be given. In the mean time no entering of
tnurna not incornorated can be made.
A copy of the act of the last Legislatui
will be placed in the hands of the Commis
sioner, and, under the circumstances, th eu
tries already made may be confirmed.
