A Rail Road Janus and the Odd Land Claims
The Central Pacific Railroad’s land agent H Mills is portrayed as a Janus who asserts rights to odd numbered sections, citing 1862 1864 acts and Utah court rulings. A June 1887 letter to R L Fulton is cited, contrasting with an August 1887 stance denying Washoe County taxation on the railroad’s surveyed lands while claiming an untaxable equity. The piece condemns Mills and the railroad for pressuring sheepmen and cattlemen to lease odd sections to boost revenue.
