that he has succeeded in obtaining resery.

coed in his efforts to procure a grant oi

construction oflhe road from the Mississippi al
or near Gaines Landing to a roint On Red
river at or near Fulton. The prospects d
obtaining these donations, arc regarded as
favorable. as the report of the Commission.

elusiyely. that in every instance, where
grants Of Land have been maia. and the
success of the road placed beyond doubt,
the alternate sections reserved hafe found
