Congress of the United States to this
State. asusss 5a
Very serious and embarrassing ques>
tions have arisen from the conflicting in
terests aud claims of some Of the Land
Grant Rail Road Companies and the Des
Moines Navigation and Railroad Company.
There have. been much vacillation and
conflict of opinion and action among the
heads Of the Department Of the Interior
ia regard TO the extent of the Des Moines
River Land Grant. That grant has been
held by one Secretary to extend only to
the forks Of the River at Des Moines City;
by another to extend to the sources Of the
River in Minnesota, and BY another to ex.
terd only to .he north boundary of our
State. One or more Of the Secretaries
certified to the State as part of the grant
large bodies Of land lying above the
forks Of the river within the limits of the
State, and the State subsequently, sold and
conveyed many Of these lands to indiyid
uals. Afterwara the State contracted with
