AT THE LAND OFFICE.

The First Timber Culture Patent and
Numerous Homesteads.
The Helena land Office is in receipt of the
first timber culture patent ever issued in
this district. 1t is for the heirs of David
Austin and gives them forty acres of land
in Missoula county, not far from the city of

are made in any district, and the number
carried through to patent is still smaller.
This is on account of the difficulty expert
enced in carrying out the provisions of the
law. The following patents to homesteads
have also been received:
