Half Million Acres
Of Rich LandOpened
Vast Area in Box Elder County Restored to Public Do
main After Withdrawal for Final Inspections
Comes Under Enlarged DryFarm Act.

Eight hundred and sixty-four square
miles of dry farm land in Box Elder
county were thrown into the public do
main Thursday at the United States
land Office with one stroke of the pen,
1T was the largest single designation of
land ever approved by the government
in the state of Utah, and means that
thousands of settlers will be provided
with suitable places to secure holdings
The land will he granted by the United
States in tracts of $50 acres, and the
homcsteaders will not be required to
establish residence on the tracts.
The land opened is that which was
withdrawn from entry last summer
when the government received reports
that part of il contained water, and
therefore was not properly enlarged
homestead land. The land had been
opened from time 10 time. partly under
section & and partly under section of
the enlarged homestead act, the section
> land requiring residence and the sec
tion land not requiring residence.
Land Is Reopened.
When the government heard the re-
ports of the land not properly coming
under the provisions Of the homestead
act it was all Withdrawn in blanket
order The government field service
made careful investigation or the
class of land, and found that it was
all purely section 6 land, and in one
order opened the entire tract. Notice
of this action was received Thursday.
at which time the opening was noted
on the land Office maps.
The land is remarkably fine for the
terms the government has prepared for
its disposal. In the district there are
some tracts which at present are CON
trolled by land companies and are
selling at a good figure. The govern
ment offers 500 acres Of the land TO any
citizen of the United States free of
charge. The only cost is S22 fling fee
and small fee five years hence, when
the homesteader applies for patent on
the land The government allows two
years' time in which TO get forty acres
under cultivation, and five years time
for 100 acres, or half Of the tract. No
requirement is made for the cultivating
of more than 100 acres.
The homestcader is not required to
