The General lut' jrtns us that on Monday last, a number num-ber of plats war9 turned over to the I.ffJ Ofilee in thin city, in which the; afttleruents of Parley's Park, Ithode's I Valley, also called Kamas Prarie, I'rovo 1 Valley, Hcbe-r and Karnas Cities, and! the towns of Wasatch, Ttoekport, Bny-1 der'a Wellsburg, Ithaca, Peoa, . Midway ; uud Kimball's were included. ! All these lands are now subject to tho i pre-umption law, In all cases wheTe the j settler was on the land prior to the ' Railroad withdrawal, which occurred) May 21th, W3. The settler is entitled to enter cither even or odd sections if he . au prove his right, at $l.2o per acre. Where the settler goes upon the land now or has gone on since May 24th ladt, he will not be ullowod to enter odd numbered sections, as they belong to the Railroad; but he can enter even numbered suctions at i2.o0 per acre. The Homestead Law applies to even sections only; and the pettier can only enter, as Lis homestead, eighty acres within Railroad limits; but he can preempt pre-empt at fJ..r)'J per a-re on the even numbered sections. Kettlers that occupied school sections prior to survey, are entitled to pre-empt the land, by making the proof. We hope that all ou r citizens occupying occupy-ing land within the limits prescribed above will not fail to file their declaratory declara-tory statements at once, to do which the law allows but ninety-Jays. Their immediate ul tent Ion to this matter will save them much trouble and perhaps b.?s. j |
