Abstract
"One problem which has particularly puzzled the writer concerns the disposal of the public lands during the period 1880-1890 in the Yakima Valley. The Northern Pacific Railroad had a land grant which extended throughout the main body of the valley, and any person or corporation could purchase as much of such land as the railroad company would sell. Within the grant, however, the government retained every other section as a part of the public domain."
