THE WISCONSIN, CENTRAL LAND GRANT.
There is one fact which has not, so far as are
aware been alluded in the recent discussions in
Congress over the St. Croix & Lake Superior Land
Grant bill 1t appears that the franchise of the Wis
consin Central Railway Company-whch now has its
entire main line to Lake Superior under contract and
in process of constructon-covers portion of the
lands claimed by that company. Congress-act ap-
proved MAY 5, lS64-granted TO Wisconsin, in behalf
of the legal predecessors of the present Wisconsin
Central alternate sections of public land, for twenty
sections in width each side Of the road, upon the
terms aud of similar grants and the fur
ther condition that the lines of road should be built
from Lake Winuebago and Portage City ria Stevens
Point to L. S within years from the passage of
the act OF this period there yet remains over two
years to Nav s. 1874, at which date, If the road Is
not completed the lands revert TO the United States.
That portie. of the lands iSpecihed in the act CT
1861 between Ashland, Bay and Superior was al
so covered by act in behalf OF the ST Crolx
4 Superior Road the time for the completion OF which
(incuding claim to land grant, therein extended
five wears to May s. 1869 From that date, the right
OF the latter company Ill those lands ceases while that
of the Wisconsin Central continues and it is now as
valid as to lands portions of It's line never covered
by any other franchise We learn that the Wisconsin
Central Company early period of the recent dis
eussion in Congress placed IN the Department OF the
Interior its claim the audS above specified, and the
grounds of the caim in order that patent might not
be issued other corporation III ignorance OF ITS
rights Happily, the decision OF the House on the ot.
Crox Superior bill has been such as 10 remove even
the appearance of complication from the franchise OF
the Wisconsin Central Companr, whose right stands
alone and indcfeasibe to the grant Throughout the
whole length of its line.

second fact that the "plan contempites cotempo-

article finally stating that Duluth is anxious and

from all of its channel harbor-way, its cur
rent natural dredging force and when lawyer
Egan of that place persu ided the War Secretary to
consent the cutting of open canal and the closing
of the bay br dike the Secretary was unwittingly
playing into the hands of schemers whose design 1T IS
to destroy the commercial interests of Wisconsin at
the head of Lake Superior. We have never consented

much less I" an open canal and closed bay.
In the same number Of the TINES we
had the following in reference to the editor
of the Duluth Tribune which is so siugu-
larly appropriate to the present time, that
it will not only bear republication, but
shows up the style of that sheet toward
Superior as one continuous, unmitigated
lie. Read it, and lay it by, and read it
again, every time Mitchell says dyke. We
don't know but that it would be best to
keep it up as standing matter, a sort of an
tidote to the Tribune weekly hash. 1t will
have to be published every six or eight
