In Ramsey county land open to settlement was overlooked by locals while distant settlers arrived to file on government land. Many residents now travel great distances to register at the large land opening, leaving some with prime Northwest land while others chase the last of Uncle Sam's holdings, with some seeking parts of King Edward's domain in Canada.
