Plenty of
Precedents
Many people seem to think that
the sale of lots at auction by the
Federal Government is a new de
parture; but this is not the fact,
as an examination of the laws and
regulations governing the dispos
ition of townsites by the Govern
ment will show.
As early as March 3. 1863,
Congress passed an act giving the
President authority to withdraw
lands for townsite purposes, and
the law, (which is U. S. R. S.
2381), specifically requires that
the lots must be sold at public
outcry to the highest bidder.
Ever since that time townsite lots
within Indian reservations, irrig
ation projects, and every other
place where the Government has
sold townsites, have been sold to
the highest bidder. Many of the
large cities throughout Nebraska,
South Dakota, North Dakota,
Wyoming, Colorado, and the
other western states, were opened
by the Government and the lots
sold at public auction. Only re
cently the townsites of Huntley,
Osborne, Ballantine, W o r d e n,
Cartersville, Pompey’s Pillar,
Aniha and Bull Mountion, all sit
uated within the Huntley Irrig
ation Project of the Cedar Crow
Indian lands, were sold at public
auction.
The General Land Office em
ploys a man, who is designated
as “Superintendent of Sales,”
and who during the summer
travels throughout the western
states where there are townsites
to be sold and sells the lots at pub
lic auction.
Furthermore, these townsites
are extensively advertised by the
Federal Government by double
column advertisements in the
leading papers throughout the
West, as well as by posters dis
tributed among the people and
posted on railway stations, post
offices and other public places
where the same may come to the
notice of the public.
The people now located at An
chorage have the advantage of
being able to purchase lots with
out the competition that usually
accompanies a sale of this kind,
for the reason that there has been
no opportunity to advertise the
sale of Anchorage Townsite, and
also because the newspapers
throughout the country have been
full of warnings to the people to
keep away from Alaska this year
because the Engineering Commis
sion is not employing as many
men as was expected.
If you should spend the 5th at
Knik, to take in the celebration
on that day, stop at the Pioneer
hotel. Frank Cannon, propr. x
