Entering Town Sites.

The following correspondence will show
that the act Of the last Legislature Of the
Territory, designating the County Commits
sioners as ne proper persons to enter Town
Sites, is not recognized by the Commissions
of the Land Office.
1t 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 will
be given. In the mean time no entering Of
towns not incorporated can be made.
A copy of the act of the last Legislature
will be placed in the hands of the Commits
sioner. and, under the circumstances, the eu-
tries already made MAY be confirmed.
