This right was limited %jr section SS89, of the Revise d Statutes, at the maximum quantity, to 160 acres of the elaas of ordinary public lands held by law at $1.25 per acre, wben dis­ posed of to eash purchasers, or eighty acres of the class of lauds embraced in the alternate sections, along the lines of railroad or other works of internal Improvement, reserved to the United States in acts of Congress, making grants of land in aid of the construc­ tion of such works, and the price there . Of increased to §2.50 per acre. By act r. Of Congress of March 3d, 1879, (see laws Already published In the Pla.inuea.lkr) »*" ft was enacted that from and after its passage, the "even sections within the ' limits of any grant of public lands to «ny railroad company, orAo any State In aid of any rail road or military road •hall be open to settlers under the JlT fiamestead laws to the extent of 160 Acres to each settlor," thus doing away , ^ fn this class of entries with the dis­ tinction between ordinary minimum d°uMe minimum lands, or lands rv.twld at 11.25 per acre and lands held at W #3£0 per acra which had existed unde %ectlon 2389, Bevlsed Statutes of the r," United States, so far as the double r minimum lands may be found in the \t , within the limits of land grants f*Jf£€*or railroads or military roads. These i provisions did not extend so a** to em- r ^lbraeeany double minimum lands In . - the odd numbered sections, or in the limits ©f grants for any other descrtp- i J of publio works. By act of July 1, * JWf®. already published in these col f% irons, the same provisions were exteud- v" V,®d to the odd sections in the States of . Missouri and Arkansas, when the odd 't', '^sections were reserved to the United (. * a?* states, thfe price of tho lauds therein enhanced, and the even sections grant­ ed for purposes of Improvement. Both aetssr® Inoperative where the sections are granted, the odd being reserved, and not within the States of Missouri and Arkansas. BASKET MAKING.
