The Hudson Ring andthe Land Grant.

Than every beast beside, yet is not filed
So bottomless is thy nav"
Seventeen years ago this gigantic
grant was conferred on the state by Con-
gress for railroad purposes. For seven
teen years have these lands been kept
out of market. Many of them are GOV

pine. This pine timber is and has been

many OF them Accomplishing money out

ring is in Hudson. Four years ago,
when this grant was about to be dispos-

went to Madison on masse, and with the
aid Of their i'll gotten gains, succeeded
in placing the lands at the disposal of

BY this means they hoped to FIJI the

company were, by the terms of their
charter. allowed eight years to build the
road and before tn. expiration of that
period, the time allotted byCongress for
building the road would have expired.
A nice little game this was, to procure
to themselves the source of supply that
had BACKED their boots and bought
their cocktails for SO many years. But
the scheme failed. The courts decid: d
that the state did not lose title to the
lands. even though the time allotted by
Congress for building the road had ex-

THREE times has Baldwin amended
his bid for the land grant, and as many
times has it met the di,approval Of the
constituents of the honorable gentle
men introducing it. Try once more.

and free places of amusement, make up
the tempting mess Of pottage for which

against the interest of the St. Croix
Valley.

building of a road to River Falls, or to
any point south of its present terminus

please correct this little oversight
BALDwIN's bill provides that the
company shall pay into the State Treas.
ury seven per cent. of its gross earn
ings, which is four per cent. more than
other roads. Where will the extra
four per cent. come from? Where can
it come from, if not from the shippers?
from the wheat that is sent out of the
valley?
The New York market reports show
that Milwaukee wheat, No 2, averages
ten cents higher than Chicago No.
the reason being that the bulk of Chi
cago wheat is raised in Illinois, Iowa,
and Missouri, while Milwaukee wheat
nearly all comes from the Northwest.
The Vest Wisconsin Railroad has ex.
elusive connection with the North
Western. which takes their wheat di.
rect to Chicago. If that monopoly
takes our wheat to market we lose from
ten to fifteen cents per bushel on our
shipments.
Mr.. BALDwTn,.s in@sa converse ton
with resident Of this place. last week :
in Madison, said that he would not
build road south of River Falls; that
a road to Red Wing would kill the
freight business of the W. w. K, and
that he could not for moment enter
tain such suicidal proposition. How
does that compare with his bill.
ONE of the "unprejudiced" Of this
place writes to our member of the As
sembly his conclusions in favor Of the
N. w. and adds: I'm these conclu

The Madison correspondent of the

vision of Bal|lwin's bill to pay into the
State Treasury the avails of the lands,
over AMI above what is required TO con
struct and complete the road is the
