GREAT SwINDLE.-Fort Smelling, rem
dered useless as government outpost, by the
advance of civilization, has recently been sold
by government for the sum of 100000. The
sale includes one thousand acres of surround
ing land, the whole beautifully located at the
junction of the Mississippi and Minnesota
rivers, near st. Anthony's Falls. 1t is mug
nifcent site for great town in one of the
most valuable and rapidly rising sections of
Minnesota, and had the property been opened
to public bidding would have brought many
times the paltry sum which some administra-
ton favorites have been permitted to gulph
the prize in at. Half a million dollars would
have been small figure for the property thus
pocketed for less than hundred thousand.
