Madison Correspondence Of The N ews ]
History Of the St. Croix Land Grant.

-
In the year 1856, as the legis
lature was about to adjourn, in the spring
congress made an immense d nation of
lands to the states for railroad pur
poses Wisconsin got grant 20 aid 10
constructing roads from Fond du l. c
northward to Lake SUPERB r, aud from
Madison or Columbus, via Portage City
to the lake or river St. Croix aud thence
to the head Of Lake Superior. At a
special session Of the legislature, after
wards held in that year, the Fond du
Lac to Lake Superior grant WAS given
to the Chicago and Northwestern rail
road, through the manipula.ions of
Perry IL Smith. then member Of he
Wisconsin senate, ant resident of
Appleton. The other grant was given
20 the Milwaukee l. La Crosse railroad
COMPANY, then under the mlnageme mt
of Byron Kilbourn. But the crash OF
1857 came on; the bottom fell out of
western credits; railroad building was
almost suspended, or proceeded with
the greatest difficulty and very slowly
TIE Milwaukee l. Ii Crosse railroad
vas built from Portag. City to Tomah
sixty one miles only, on the land grant
line for which the company received
che lands granted. There they left the
land grant line aud built out to LA
Crosse. Some years atterward the To
nah aud Lake ST. Croix railroad was
chartered The lands had become ex
ceedingly valuable, and parties were
hunting up these old land grants
wherever they existed and building the
roads for the sake of the lands This
line of road was built, and is now called
the West Wisconsin. It rms in con
nection with the Madison anu Baraboo
branch Of the Chicago aud Northwest
srn railroad; the junction being at
Elroy. near the b,rder of Sank and
Monroe counties, and it is merely IA
Chicago feeder. Its principal owners
are A. Baldwin aud jacob Hunbird
They have received their lands. which
are very valuable. Some of them are
covered with pine and are worth $50 an
acre others are held at from So co SO
and SIS an acre. The state has ex-
empted these lands from taxation until
1884. The St. Croix grant, or that
portion granted to build the road from
the Lake or River st. Croix, near its
Mouth, to the head of Lake Superior
was gobbled up by company which
threw up few miles of emb .nkment,
and stripped great deal Of the timber
from it. Bat with the consent of the
secretary Of the interior. or possibly of
congress, the state put an agent on it,
who has warned off trespl,sers aud col
lected sos,a $50 00O fr,.n parties who
had cut timber This san l. in the
sta,e treasury The time for building
the road expired in 1853, that is. in
the act Of congress grinting the Ian |.
it WIS provided that if int road was not
COMP ,ted by 1868, the land should re
vert to the general government. All
the acts AMI charters granting this land

. 1h,ee Million Failure for $4,000.

There is a curious story aftoat about the
srreat failure of James Wood d Sons, OF
Pittsburg. which has not yet got into print,
we believe. 1t seems that since the death
of the founder of the house, the business has
been in the hands of the sons, three in mum
ber. On the day of the crash" the two
elder brothers were absent, and in other
parts of the country, the youngest OF al!
being left in charge. Word came to him
from the cashier of the bank with which
they did business, that q note of y3OGV was
due, and no money in the bank to meet 1t.
The cashier wonld have paid it, If asked to
do so, or would have been ready to place
even SO. 900 to the credit of the firm, If they
should SO desire But the young man upon
whom the responsibility rested expressed
no such request, and nothing was LETT for
the cashier to do but to let the note GO
20 protest. The fact of the firms failure
20 meet this obligation soon became
known among the creditors. whose paper
began TO pour in with an uncomfortable
rapidity, so that within few days the only
course left tor the Arm was to make an as
sigument, in order. if possible, to get
fresh start. Thus IL was that fiTm which
has So SOC, 900 assets, and only two-thlrds
that amount Of liabilities, failed tor S"oeo'
Another interesting point in connection
with This great failure is the statement tnsI
the creditors are said to expect to Dc aole
to make good their claim upon the estate
itself, which is rumored to be worth lully
g. 900, 600. This claim is based upon the
fact that there was no notice OF dissolution
of partnership after the death OF James
Wood, his sons having continued the ousl-
ness without the advertisement of any
change in the organization of the firm.
