The charge made on the floor of the

'of the "friar lands" led to an investi-

government for the land is $40 filing

The land office officials fully expect
March to surpass February and the

There seems TO be intense interest in
the Utah land situation and it cannot
fail to bring a rush.

of cultivation is the statement of all
