No More Desert Land Grabbing in Great Falls District
Great Falls notes that over 20 400 acres of desert land entries have been canceled by the general land office for lack of proofs or inadequate evidence. New rules require inspector examination of alleged improvements before approval. Many entrants halt proofs and recent inspector reports have been adverse, reducing land usable for desert entry. Reverted lands return to public domain with limited reentry options under the reclamation act. The era of land grabbing in Northern Montana is deemed over.
