This is the first list of approvals ever

lands in lieu of the 18th and 36th sec

cupied when the surveys were extend
ed over the country. Attempts have
been made, from time to time, for many
years, to get these lands vested in the
State, but did not succeed until the
subject was taken up by the present
State authorities. We may expect
that all the lands to which the State is
entitled will soon be secured under the
